A. Let Me Off

[This is probably bad. Probably. She's taken stock of herself - still has her armor and cloak, but no weapons. The ship isn't one she recognizes, and as it tilts Caelin braces herself. She doesn't leave the room she woke up in the entire time she's flying, doesn't go to greet anyone. Eventually, she feels it rock as it goes to dock, a sensation that makes her stomach roll but she'll deal with it.

God she hates space travel.

She's eager to get off the ship once it's docked and cleared to open the bay doors; Caelin steps out and takes in the scene. It's open, crowded, other ships docking close by. Not at all something she's familiar with outside of the Tower.

She stops someone walking by, helmet under one arm.]

What planet is this. And where are my weapons.

B. Parkour

[The whole place looks like what she has vague memories of from before everything and what she imagines the Tower was like in the Golden Age. Caelin stops at a couple of booths, remembering to take her helmet off so she doesn't scare anyone.

But eventually she does have to put it on; she wants a better vantage point to see the layout of everything and what's going on. Without a second thought, Caelin hops up, jumping sporadically up the sides of buildings to the rooftops. While she doesn't slip or fall, the sudden action causes some small commotions here and there even as she goes from rooftop to rooftop.]

It's not the Tower, that's for sure.

C. Wildcard

[If you'd like something specific, go for it!]

B!

[ Jayden just so happens to see all this ridiculous parkouring action, and she can't help but stare. Because she's pretty sure she saw that person wearing a cloak. Which, of course, makes her think of back home. In which case, what if...?

Okay, she has to know.

So she follows her on the ground as she bounds from rooftop to rooftop, and once she gets to the end of a row of buildings, Jayden will stand at the bottom and look straight up at her. ]

Hey. Hunter.

[ Worth a shot. ]

[parkourhunter]

[She's stopped so she can look over the area, knowing someone's following but they don't seem to want more than to follow. No problem.

It's not until they speak that Caelin looks down and acknowledges them.]

What?

[... And their Ghost.]

Where did you find that Ghost.

[yeah, she'll be more polite in a minute, but priorities.]

[stormfist]

[ Priorities are understandable. And Jayden doesn't need polite, tbh. ]

It's mine. Found him again a few planets back. [ Long, weird-ass story. ] So you are a Hunter. A Guardian.

[ She's actually cracking a little bit of a smile. ]

[parkourhunter]

[Yeah, no she wants a better look at that. Caelin jumps down, landing fairly easily on her feet in a crouch, then stands and stalks up to Jayden.]

...Guardian. [She can tell, even if she hadn't given herself away asking about her being a Hunter and without the Ghost.]

You're the only one I've seen. Where are the others?

[stormfist]

Back home, I guess. It's been just me for almost a year. [ ugh god has it really been that long jfdskl ] No one else in the fleet has even heard of Guardians, the Traveler, any of it.
