PORT ROYAL DOCKING PLOT : POST 1

[nottheotherguy]

At the university, Halloween was second only to April Fools' Day for people playing pranks on each other, so I woke up on Halloween morning ready to be on my guard. I figured whatever the station had in mind for us (if anything) it wasn't likely to be something I'd find funny, and I wanted to be ready for it, whatever it was.

It hadn't occurred to me that what the station had in store for us wouldn't be something that occurred on board. I hadn't expected the station docking announcement to play, and I sure as hell hadn't expected the world to dissolve around me when I was halfway to the hub to see what was up. I'd never transported before-- it had always been my choice, before, and I'd never planned on going anywhere the other guy might make a mess if I could help it-- but I had just enough time to figure out what the lurching feeling in my stomach probably signified before the station walls vanished.

When I blinked away the sun glare I found myself staring out a window at a bustling city full of people dressed like they were definitely not from 2012. "Well, this is... interesting," I said, turning around to the roomful of Proserpinians who'd apparently been selected to join me on my little day trip.

Amy makes a face, but still, she ends up transferring the cutlass to her other hand and sheathing it for the time being. "I'd not actually hurt anyone," she says, straightening the had on her head. "Or, at least, unless they need hurting, but it's not terribly likely at the moment." She's of a height with him (especially with the boots she's got on) so she just smiles, and raises her brows for a moment. "Are you at home, here? Or not so much your part of the world?"

"Home's a very elusive concept," Klaus remarks, mildly. He's not smiling his usual don't-know-if-I'm-mocking-you-or-not smile, because she's Amy and yet not, and he wanted to add, 'I thought you knew that,' before he realised that she might not. Amy and yet not. "But this doesn't seem entirely unfamiliar."

"Well, there can be a lot of places that're home, or, at least, can be. Doesn't have to be home, home, just... a place that could be home." She smiled up at him. "So, why were you here last time? I mean, back a million years ago or what have you."

"Why wouldn't I be here?" Klaus points. "Back a million years ago, or what have you," he echoes, and there is something about his tone, underneath his usual amused nonchalance, that is dangerous again. This new and not at all improved Amy (if you ask him) often gets that reaction from him. Too alike and too unlike. "Try not to injure anyone with that," he tells her, with a nod at the cutlass, and moves away.
