Your world seems a lot nicer... In the first place, your Summons stick to temples?

Sorry. The waystation's your best bet.

[bi_otic]

[Some of the things that come out of his mouth make him sound like a naive country boy, but in reality he's far from it.

Kaidan chuckles too, smirking at the other man over his shoulder]

I don't plan to go down easy, then.

[He turns back to Facilier]

You don't seem particularly worried about it either.

[mysterygirlcastle]

(Cue massive oh crap right?)

Outer space Big Brother, makes sense in a really weird way. Would rather be learning a tango or bathroom repairs but this is kinda normal in our way right?

[Alexis feels the panic but is somehow stable when she figures out she's behind dad.]

I think you're a few months ahead of me dad. Last thing I remember was being kidnapped.

[thebestseller]

And you'll still learn something new. They were kind enough to implant devices in our heads that give us new skills. [He taps behind his ear.] I'm the Windrose's janitor, of all things, though my robots do most of the work.

[Castle then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Those memories were still raw for him- still painful and scary, no matter how much he tried to put it behind him.]

Yeah... yeah, that happened several months ago. You made it out safe.

[changeitroundsome]

Best way to be, mon ami.

[After being dragged off, kicking and screaming into the spirit world, there's very little that can rattle a person. Facilier doesn't say this, of course, it's the kind of thing you don;t really share when you're trying to maintain a certain image. ]

I like to think I got good instincts, my own way of gettin' out of jams.

[Facilier's shadow, on cue, moves, flitting down to the forest floor, stretching out a distance away- playing lookout. The man himself offers Kaidan a wry smirk.]

Ain't much afraid of a little plantlife.

[changeitroundsome]

Really? Kind of...shiny for a hospital for my home. But I don't spend a lot of my time in them, so I don't reckon I can make an educated opinion on that.

[The Peter Pan comment gets an arched eyebrow. Hah. So funny. The most funny. ]

Name's Facilier. Doctor Facilier, actually. And I got New Orleans. Jazz, good food, loud parties. Nobody slows down for a second.

[bi_otic]

[There are a lot of strange things in the universe, but that one is new to him. He watches the shadow go, silent for a few moments. His surprise doesn't quite show on the outside but it's clear he's far more actively wary than when he stepped foot on the planet]

Yeah? You might say different if you ever meant a sentient plant that wanted to enslave you...[And while his words dwell on the Thorian, he's more occupied with Facilier]

Plenty of other things that go bump in the night, though, right?

[changeitroundsome]

...You know, I reckon you're right there. I probably would.

[It's a miracle that hasn't happened, in all honesty. He probably got off lightly, all things considered. ]

There always are. I wouldn't worry about him, he's mostly harmless.

['Mostly' being the key word here. ]

[universal_charm]

Yes, I suppose it has. But there's nothing wrong with keeping a name the embodies certain emotions for the Fleet and the Federation as a whole.

_{[ They were just going to have to throw out concerns about the time stream here, he had long ago decided. It was to much effort and trouble to avoid things as they were, and besides it was only three of them, all from very different times. And Kirk himself was from a wholly different time stream than Bev. Yes, a bit of a mess. He had to laugh at the other's words though, the sound fond. ]}

God, I've missed that Vulcan sense of logic.

[ontrial]

[ fine, she'll just have to walk uncomfortably fast to try to dissuade him. this is... likely harder on herself than anything else, considering how short she is. ]

You're a human, aren't you? How many colours do you turn?

[dateme]

[ Yeah Inui is kinda tall and has long legs so this isn't hard for him at all lmao ]

Lots? But I already know all of that. I wanna know about you~

[desynched]

[ Lena makes a face-- the idea of the chip in her skull makes her understandably upset. ]

Nah, just need a bit of practice.

[ She's an optimist, this one. ]

[desynched]

[ Yeah definitely not. ]

You're not gettin' rid of me that easy!

[foxpas]

Eh? Rid? I was thinking no such thing. Just that it will be even more dangerous further ahead.

[... so, yeah, she was, just in more polite terms.]

[desynched]

[ Petulantly: ] I know that.

[ How many people have told her that over the years? Morrison got on her case about it constantly, but she knows that's just the Commander's way of worrying. Frankly, it was Mercy's reaction that usually made her feel worse.

Lena follows at a normal pace, not willing to take her eyes off of Furiosa quite yet. ]

You got a name?

[desynched]

[ She zips forward. ] I've handled my fair share of danger.

[foxpas]

[Aria hops up, tapping her ankles with her fingertips, before zipping after Tracer, with a super-speed boost applied. She's still not fucking with time, though.]

Even so, it is my duty as a knight to protect all innocents from these manner of wicked men.

[ontrial]

[ god she hates tall people. ]

We Mirialan aren't all that interesting, I can assure you.

[dateme]

Ooh, so that's what you're called.

[kill_switch]

[And apparently now Furiosa has a shadow. She's a little irritated by this woman's persistance, but as long as it's just talk it's not worth complaining about.]

Furiosa, you?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Maaaaaybe.

[Lumina smirked and gestured at the controls.]

So start practicin'!

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda chuckles a little at that. His words and attitude do help to alleviate the tension Wanda's feeling. They always did. Even on their toughest missions together, Sam's nature had always helped her to stay calm.]

I do not sense that the planet is hostile... Though, I can't say the same for any wildlife we may run into.

The planet is just... living. It does not really seem to care about our presence one way or another.

Hawk | Seiken Densetsu 3 | CRAU (Luministi)

[desertdaggers]

A) Planetside

[He doesn't really recognise the plantlife here, but he's definitely peering at it closely. One looks a little like some of the plants around the Forest of Wonder, maybe? The feeling he's getting from the area is interesting, too…]

I wonder if these grow the same way further in. Or if there's something else in there…

[He doubts it'd be a Mana Tree, but- without going, who knows?]

B) Waystation

[So they are allowed places other than the ships. Sure, the places are a bit dinky, but it's good to have more places to stretch his legs. Hawk's not looking for much, at this point- just getting his bearings, and he'll greet anyone close by.]

Looking for something to take back?

[or- you might find him haggling for a deck of cards, or some dice.]

No, no- look, they're a bit worn, aren't they? Without some touching up, that's a bit much.

C) Wildcard

[For anywhere else!]

waystations;; :D

[youdontneedapictureofme]

[She may not have a gun but damned if that would stop her when she found Carl being grabbed by a scavenger. Carl kept the stranger busy, leaving him open to her own attack as she grabbed him and yanked until he let go.]

There a problem? [No gun, only her fists, but she was menacing all the same. Her other hand had Carl's arm in a possessive hold. If Rick wasn't here then it fell to her to protect him. They protected their own and that's just how it was.]

Maggie Greene-Rhee | The Walking Dead

[youdontneedapictureofme]

A. Waystation
[It had been a day or so since Maggie arrived and it still hadn't sunk in that she was separated from the makeshift family she had back home. Surely Glenn and the others were looking for her? For now she needed to be in survival mode. She had gone about gathering supplies for trade and already she had food, a new change of clothes, and even some spare credits. That seemed to paint a targert on her back with the scavengers. In their mind they probably saw a scrawny woman who couldn't protect herself. They were dead wrong on all accounts.]

Is this the part where you expect me to beg? [A gun pressed between her shoulder blades, Maggie tilts her head back to look at her would-be attacker.]

If you're gonna do somethin' - do it and then go to hell.

[He looked surprised by her lack of fear. There were worse things in life than having material possesions taken from you. She'd lived through worse. When the man reached for her arm instead of the bag, however, all bets were off. With a yell she slams the heel of her foot into his shin and twists her arm loose while pushing out against him. Two more men swooped in and Maggie was off like a shot, the bag hugged against her side as she weaved through people. One of them made to chase her while the others stayed behind. Was what was in her bag so valuable to these people? Clearly there was no sensse in a fair trade among scavengers.

As Maggie moved through the throng of people she bumped into more than a few, whispering 'excuse me's and apologies as she went.]

Hey, you wanna be careful if you go that way - some scavengers are lookin' to give people a bad day.

B. Into the Woods

[The earthy smell all around was enough to make her feel more at peace. The only good thing about it is it wasn't punctuated with the smell of rotting flesh or the sounds of growling and gnashing teeth. It was a nice place to just sit and think. If she had a book on hand she could find a nice patch of grass and a tree to sit under and be content. It had been some time since they'd been able to do that - just relax - and Maggie wouldn't mind the moment of reprieve granted to her by this stop. Her guard may be up but it didn't stop her from appreciating small gifts like this.

Anyone looking to find her - or not looking for her at all - would be welcome to stop and wonder what the heck she is doing reclined beneath a tree with her eyes closed and her legs stretched out, ready to take a nap.]
