The Ghost Town, a once-thriving city... until one day, when all live mysteriously vanished off the face of the planet. Or at the very least, off the face of the town. Same thing.
Several people had moved in to the empty city to try and figure out what had happened.
Others, like one Tamika Jones, were forcibly dropped there. She screamed and hit the ground with a muffled "oomph."
"See even for us that don't make no sense... Where am I anyways...?" she said as she got to her feet, dusting off the white Bride of Frankenstein costume that she had somehow been persuaded to wear for Halloween. Trying to keep a cool head, she remembered the Cupcake Scout motto: Remain calm.

Not far from where Tamika dropped, another portal opened up, this one filled with water as what appeared to be a light blue mermaid tumbled out of it. judging primarily on the lush appearance of her dress, it seemed likely the girl was some kind of royalty. "....how did I get on shore?" she asked, her tail splitting into a pair of bare legs as any fins or gills on her person just seemed to morph away. "Better question- how come I've never seen this place on the island before?"
The island, of course, not being THIS one- she meant the island she would normally dart to when she'd hop out of the palace. And believably so- there was no desert, or deserted village on that island, so her being in a place she'd never been before seemed... odd.

The water splashed against Tamika's shoes, catching her attention as she walked down the empty streets. "What the-" she managed to blurt out before seeing...
What looked like a blue fish woman fall out of her own portal full of water, and transform into a human. "Okay, as far as freaky lookin' goes, I come in second..."
The frankenstein lady walked up to the newly-shifted woman, as if she had not just transformed before her eyes. "Hey, you. You got any idea as to where we are?"

The blue skinned gal dusted off her dress before looking at Tamika. "Not really... one second I was just swimming to an island, the next I just appear here..."
She held her head, confused by what was going on. "It's kind of weird..."

"You just fell here too?" Tamika asked, eyes widening just slightly. "C'mon, we gonna check this place out. It'll be easier if we together."
She extended her hand out as friendly gesture. "Name's Tamika. What's yo' name?"
A black fog slowly started to roll in, unseen by either girl...

"Atla," she offered, yawning a bit. the spade on her clothing seemed like a strange symbol. "So... I guess this is some kind of desert?"

"Guess so," Tamika responded, the white dress flowing behind her slightly as she walked. "We need to find somebody who knows this place betta then we do."
The black fog suddenly lunged for the ladies, enveloping them in its smoky clutches. "What the-?!" was all Tamika was able to get out before she suddenly found herself unable to speak, followed by the grotesque sound of grinding bones as the bolts on her wrists and ankles seemed to burrow into her skin.
There was a quick burst of electricity as the fog pulled off Tamika...

While Atla just gave off a glowy blue light, completely unaffected by the mist. "I've seen fog on the ocean, but it doesn't smell like a grid-fin's dinner," she gagged, trying to get the fog's smell out of her nose. "You okay, Tamika?" she asked.

"You okay?"
I'm not okay, Tamika tried to speak... only to find that all she could make was a strangled, choking sound. The fog had obviously robbed her of the ability to speak.
Noticing the concerned look on Alta's face, Tamika gave her head a quick shake, before gesturing to her throat and making a slashing motion. She then brought a finger to her mouth.
I can't talk no more.

Atla took notice of what she was doing, then patted her arm. "I'm sure it won't last long," she offered, looking around the ghost infested land.

Tamika gave a nod, the only way she could communicate at the moment. If you say so. That fog musta had somethin' to do with this, she thought. Her eyes scanned the area, looking for something resembling life, somebody she could talk to and inquire, something she could use to make more of her own kind...
Er, what? No, I ain't lookin' for that, she thought in response to the last one. Her eyes caught something on the edge of her vision,
Gesturing towards the manor, she made a motion with her hands that resembled a certain hairstyle...

"Hmm?" the fishy girl hummed. "You looking for someone that would own a big house like that?" she asked. The girl was remarkable at charades, that's for sure.

That ain't what I was goin' for, but yeah, he'd definitely be in a big house.
The new frankenstein made a sort of shake-nod of her head as if to say "kinda" in response. I need to figure out how to say they names now... no, I need to say how they look...
Remember the Cupcake Scout motto. Remain calm. Be calm, Tamika.
My phone!
Tamika removed her phone from an internal pocket in the white dress, only to find that it had been fried by the electric burst that had been given off when she transformed. Damnit.
She opted to mime a gesture for paper and a pencil instead. Please take the hint...

Seeing her do what looked to be a scribble, Atla smiled. Water gathered at her hand, shooting from her fingers as she aimed it at the dirt, making a fine line in the sand. "You can borrow my hand as a pen," she offered. "Give a little squeeze and I'll blast some water!"

Tamika briefly gave Atla a look that clearly read "what the hell."
Well... That ain't what I meant, but whatever, it'll do.
She gave her a quick apologetic look and gave the fish woman's hand a light squeeze, spraying out a message...
My friends and I fell into a portal
We ended up here
If this fog made me a real Bride of Frankenstein it probably got them too
I need to find my friends
