A cat and her human... OTA

[reincarnshaman]

"Just because no one here qualifies as unicorn bait doesn't mean I'm..." the words trailed off as Trever suddenly realized that he wasn't where he was a moment ago. And then shock kicked in. The connection to his world's magical field, the connection to his world's ley lines - and being loosely land tied to Eire - had just been rather rudely cut. His mind and body didn't appreciate that very much and decided to shut down as a safety mechanism.

After taking a wobbly step forward he collapsed to the ground as if - to borrow the cliche - his strings were cut. Not quite in a faint but definitely not in any shape to do anything but fall.

The black cat on his shoulder tumbled down with him as she suffered the same effects - familiar and master no longer where they should be and no longer connected to what they had been.


After Sickbay funtimes

While he still felt a little woozy, Trever struck out to explore. Or at least find the closest place to get a drink ie; Ten-Forward. Because he needed a fucking drink. He hasn't realized that he's not going to be getting drunk from his beer yet and so he slouched in a chair watching Veena explore the area and absently rolling some dice. The black cat prowled around the room occasionally teleporting onto a chair or a table to examine things like cats do. She is very cat like except for the teleporting and thus doing all the annoying cat things that cats do.

Because cat.

Trever is also open to conversation. He does need a distraction.

Beverly had been here maybe a few minutes at most -- after the last few days in Zelien, her ability to tell time was drastically dampened -- when she came across the prone form. She didn't have a medkit with her, but she did still have her tricorder. That was good. Maybe it could tell her what was wrong.

Despite the horrors she'd been through in the last few weeks and the fact that she wasn't yet convinced that she wasn't still in COMPASS' clutches, she didn't like leaving anyone in danger or pain.

"Hello?" she called, trying to see if he was still lucid or not. The cat will get her attention shortly. "Can you hear me?" His response or lack thereof will determine what else she does.

[reincarnshaman]

"What the fucking crow's shit just happened?" Trever mumbles, as he tries pushing himself up on his elbows.

And fails.

[ethnobotany]

"That's a good question," Beverly begins, focused on her tricorder until he starts getting up. Then she's all too quick to place a firm hand on his shoulder to help force him to remain in place. "Stay down! You're hurt and I'm trying to find out what's wrong. I can't have you trying to get up too soon."

[reincarnshaman]

"I'm fine Anna..." he mutters and he's fine except for all the symptoms of being in physical shock. No broken bones or anything like that. Also he's calling her Anna, which she's clearly not.

It's not his fault. Among the people he was talking to was a blond doctor named Anna.

The cat rolls over and mews softly. She staggers up and then flops down and not in the floppy cat way.

[ethnobotany]

He's not fine and she knows it. She won't tell him straight away like that, but her concern is mounting. Folding her tricorder up, she decides the best course of action will be to call sickbay. Even if it's no longer her sickbay.

"We need to get you to sickbay," she tells him in as calm a voice as she can manage while still sounding as though she won't take no for an answer. "My name is Beverly, not Anna." That much she can say.

The cat looks just as good as he does. That is to say not at all. She sighs to herself and then calls to sickbay with a medical emergency. Hopefully they can get a team down to help him very shortly. And with as little fuss as to her identity as possible.

[reincarnshaman]

Of course he's fine. Don't be ridiculous. He's just seriously disorientated. Really. Trever's mind starts trying to focus on the here and now. The sound of her voice is strange. He's never heard that accent before. And the floor is wrong.

"Sickbay?" Facts. Information. Right.

Cat.

He reaches out to touch the cat and pets her softly.

[ethnobotany]

Not really fine in her book. She isn't buying it.

"Our medical facility," she answers, voice remaining calm. "You're on the Enterprise and you need more medical treatment than I can give out here in the corridors."

If she had a medkit with her, perhaps, but how many times had she wished for one in Zelien and had to make do without?

"You and your cat both can get treatment once you're there."

[reincarnshaman]

"How'd I get here?" He stumbles up to his feet.

[ethnobotany]

"That I'm not sure," she admits, helping him up, though she would prefer to wait for a medical team. "We can try to find an answer in sickbay. Just try to stay calm. You'll be all right if you're careful."

[reincarnshaman]

"Right. Okay." He wanted to laugh shakily, but he shoved it to the side. New situation. Unknown situation. Take stock. Find the threats. His wits were coming back ...slowly. "Where am I?"

At least he was staying calm.

He could be very good at calm.

Useful when someone is trying to kill you.

"The starship Enterprise," she answers again, glancing him over as they stand. This time, though, she gives the deck and section numbers. "They'll take you up the turbolift to sickbay, all right? You'll be perfectly fine but we'll all feel better if they can be sure." She won't join him in sickbay, preferring not to give them too much ammunition or confusion, but as long as he accepts the medical team's help, all will be well.

[reincarnshaman]

"Right. You said that... head's fucking addled. Yeah... okay... Point me?"

[ethnobotany]

"You're in shock," she tells him calmly, guiding him forward. "There's a medical team on the way and they'll take you the rest of the way." But she'll walk him as far as she needs to get to that point. Later, maybe they'll run into each other again, but at least now she'll know he's taken care of.

[reincarnshaman]

"Shock. Bad...right." He's actually stopped speaking English at this point and moved into Gaelic - however because of the translator it's impossible to know that.

Fortunately for Beverly the medical team has arrived. They give her a strange look because wasn't she just a red head a moment ago?

[ethnobotany]

Beverly averts her gaze when the team gets there, trying not to draw too much attention to herself. "He's in shock. Just get him to sickbay. I have another I need to tend to." She gives Trever another glance and a nod to tell him that it's okay before she heads off and leaves him to the team before they start asking her awkward and hard to answer questions.
