outer_divide | [Video] Monday

[Waking up from a pod was new. One minute she thought she was flying after the mysterious Yellowjacket and the next she felt like she had been sleeping for a hundred years and coming out of some stasis in a pad. On a ship. On an alien ship. What… did she miss!?]

[Her things were all here at least. Dressed again she pulled her Avengers card out she ran her thumb over it and spoke.]

Um, guys? Am I missing something here? Hello? Tony? Cap? Heck, I’d be happy to hear from Hulk right now, just someone reply.

[She walked slowly through the ship, holding the card close and looking for an exit] It doesn't look like a Kree ship. Doesn't look like anything I've seen before. [and more to herself then anything she whispered:] Oh man, did I get kidnapped again?

[Suddenly she shrank to a smaller size, her wings buzzing behind her and letting her fly, taking off through the halls and searching around, thus the image of the world around her seemed bigger as the card shrinks with her, and she's moving faster. The image not focused on her... As she found the exit she zoomed out, coming to a sudden stop, eyes wide at the world around her]

Oh… I don’t think I’m on Earth anymore…

[Her tiny self moved to carefully hover over the edge of the ship, taking a seat and hanging her legs over the side. She could be seen, looking around, clearly creeped out by all this]

I... see. [clearly, she didn't see. Or she did but it was hard to believe... or was it. Okay, it was just weird. Very weird.] So anyone can hear me? They can hear me and you talking?

[It's lucky making hospital food in big batches isn't a job that requires a lot of attention.]

Ja, particularly, um, The Authorities. Which is the scariest bad guy name I've heard. They apparently hear everything, and they're the kind of people who attack hospitals and farms, so... Don't say anything you don't want the villains to hear.

[that is an interesting job however... and she's trying to piece together what it is he's doing. She? Sitting around in the dark. He? Something not very HYDRA-y.]

Wait, what? [mild look of outrage now... because...] What kind of people attack hospitals!?

[however, that was good advice, to keep some details to herself. Great... well... this was shipping up to be real weird already and she barely spoke to anyone. Also? it's cold out here...]

That's what I said. It's why I'm there now, even if I only have first aid training. At least I can help, right?

[He'll go ahead and not spell out on the open channel that he's also something of an asset for defense.]

Anyway, welcome to not-Earth. There are people here from all kinds of places. Other planets, other worlds... Even the people I do know came from a year behind me. And I don't think anyone knows how we got in those pods.

This is.... this is crazy, you know that? [She took a deep breath and let it out, then shuddered.] Okay, okay, so... not Earth. I can handle this. And out of time lines? Sure, okay. Not unheard of. Jerks attacking hospitals however really is low. Is that normal around here?!

[Yup, these were exactly his responses.]

Ja, pretty much. I guess. I haven't been here that long, but everything I've heard... The Authorities live inside a dome and harass everyone who lives outside is how it works.

That's really messed up. [she said in one more complaint, then frowned deeply at the screen, eyeing him before looking out into the night.]

So there's a city near here, and these jerks just harass the people for no reason? Doesn't anyone, you know, do anything about it?

Ah, not so much when the bad guys have all the scary future weapons and the people who live here mostly have sticks. And also we are on the network...

[He suspects he'll be glad to share ideas with her. She seems cool. But he's not talking about teleporting inside the dome for recon right now.]

seriously? They've got a huge space ship out here! [to which she just shot up into the dark and started to fly, zoom really, over the length of the ship, the video just appearing dark for the most part, form how she held it.] You'd think there was something here to help people protect themselves.

Jeeze, this thing really is huge... [And yes, on the network, so she wasn't talking about the details, right, but still... this was too much. And this stupid card can't even call the Avengers on it! Just everyone else ever]

They seem to have about as much technology as I'm used to. Just not weapons. I'm guessing that gets shut down a lot.

[He's no one to complain about weird camera effects, considering now he's using both hands to chop up root vegetables while his tail handles the communicator rather unsteadily, but he's pretty sure there's something odd going on where she is.]

The ship doesn't work. Or, well, it doesn't fly. It does some other things. I don't know anything about space, really, and I've been once.

[yeah, sorry about the zoom... and the fact that she's turning up a bit to get a birds eye view. Gosh, please don't be any flying creatures out here. She's super tiny right now though, for that reason alone]

I've been to space. A few times. It's pretty incredible, but the size of this ship... well it shouldn't have been anywhere near the plants pull to begin with. This is insane.

[she spun around, trying to take in the view at night as best she could, with out shivering form being cold.] I'm Jan, by the way. Got a name, and somewhere warmer then this, or else I'm going back inside the weird crazy space ship.

Oh, Ja. I'm Kurt. And there's a city outside the dome where there's all the shelter and food that's necessary. New people come out of the pods a lot, so they're ready for us. But you should know that there's something going around kind of like a nasty flu. Steer clear of the hospital and drink lots of fluids.

[He's being helpful!]

Nice to meet you Kurt. [she said politely, pausing only to raise a brow at all that.] A flu? Great, so everyone pops out o a pod to a strange planet, and now a nasty flu? I'll keep that in mind though. No hospital. Lots of water. Check.

Ja, that's the big stuff. Bad guys, mystery sickness... And, oh, dinosaurs, and some of the people who have been brought here aren't too heroic.

[To Kurt's mind, anyway, but he can probably be forgiven for having an anti-Magneto bias.]

And there's no electricity or cheeseburgers. Come to think of it, this place might suck a little.

[And for most people it doesn't provide a super-cool playground, so he can't bring up the good parts.]

Dinosaurs is a bit concerning... like big scaly reptiles, or like actual meat eating toothy things intending to take a bit out of you for lunch?

[Oh man, no heroics here? really? Well, they always need someone to protect, right?]

Actually, the more you talk about it the worse this place sounds.

[That doesn't seem like much of a choice.]

Like big scary reptiles that are meat eating toothy things? I haven't seen any up close. Lucky me. But very Jurassic Park.

[Was a time he'd really enjoyed that movie.]

You know... I used to like that movie, but I never once wanted to live it. [she shuddered a bit at the thought. She didn't want to run into Rex... talking or not]

Well, there's also a dinosaur that talks and lives in the city, if that makes you feel better.

[It does him. Who wouldn't want to talk to a dinosaur? Especially a polite one with a funny name.]

So I've been told. [and spoken to. That is SO trippy...] This place is full of surprises, huh?

Ja. I mean, if you can just sit back and think of it as an adventure...

[Kurt shrugs.]

Or just a break from algebra. Whichever.

[Though she looks too old for high school. A break from... whatever ostensible adults do and would prefer not to.]
