Endless wonder

Endless wonder...


Endless wonder?



"This artifact is the round table that inspired the legend of King Arthur's court. Now, it is the Warehouse's time capsule. It stores the memory of an agent's defining moment with the Warehouse. Today, you will all contribute."

Stacks of Endless Wonder!
Endless. Wonder.
          Endless wonder?
                                              Endless wonder.

Endless wonder...





    Maybe my defining moment ... is all of it.

    Every. Minute. That I got to spend with you guys.












Ping!

Ten Forward has a new guest: a brunette approaching middle-aged, hair shaggy, wearing an AC/DC t-shirt and a pair of distressed jeans. And purple latex gloves. Come on, we know it's not the weirdest thing you've seen all day.

He blinks at the room, back straightening, and then turns left and right. "Say whaaaaaaaaaa...?"

Okay, that's a lot of space outside those windows. He's been abducted by aliens! Cool. No, wait, not cool. This is not cool, Pete. Except for the fact that it totally is. It's lucky for the ship that what he had been holding before he was jumped here did not make the trip with him, or else there would be a whole lot more excitement to go along with his arrival. And okay, so maybe he blew it as far as great first words when making first contact goes (he could have said, "One small step," or, "We come in peace," or even better, "Take me to your leader"), but for all the weird voodoo someone starts to expect when they've been working for the Warehouse, getting zapped into another dimension still isn't something the manual trains you for. Or maybe it is. He doesn't know, he hasn't read all of it yet. But he has read it, so ha! Take that, Mrs. F.

Wait, where was he? Oh yeah! "...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" He looks to the left. He looks to the right. He looks to the left again NO, FAKE-OUT! Back to the right. Pete is turning in circles like a dog that's just lost his favorite tennis ball. "Uh. Guys?"

They were just here a minute ago. "... Are we on the Enterprise? Guys?"

Ooh, cookies! Pete snaps one up from a plate on a nearby table, and takes a bite. What? They were just sitting there. A lonely cookie has to be eaten.


[ooc: please come mess with Agent Lattimer, but as a quick heads-up: Pete is an overgrown kid and a giant pop culture and comics nut, so if you play a Marvel or DC character or someone from popular media, chances are very good he'll recognize you. There will be no fourth walling or canon puncturing, but if you have concerns PLEASE feel free to send me a message here or on plurk: [plurk.com profile] gabbynormal, and if I'm worried I may poke you before tagging back! Thanks, everyone!]

A voice could be heard from the nearby booth, its speaker being a young woman looking like something from the mid 1950s. "Well someone seems happen about being dropped into all of this." she mused, her ankle currently propped up thanks to a rather dramatic skid across the lounge floor when she was winkled in. But at the same time he was reminding her of Edward Nygma, minus the creepy factor and ten times nicer. As she sipped a cup of tea she spoke again,"The name's Kringle, Kristen Kringle. And from what people have told me you're on a starship called the Enterprise after a being named Q snagged us. But then compared to my being snagged when the GCPD was being shot up things had to be nicer for you."

"Yup, complete with almost every bad Christmas related joke known to man." Kristen observes. "And if it helps I had the same reaction but then going from one problem to this was weird enough." she offered. "And its not an artifact, at least I don't think its an artifact." racking her brain for any times she heard people around the GCPD mention anything of the sort. "But for now need an ear to bounce things off of and what year was it for you?" seeing no harm in at least making the offer (and it would keep her mind from spinning into overthinking mode).

"Yea, at least its still early." Kristen mused, knowing she had maybe escaped the jokes at least onboard for a change. "I'm doing ok for now, will be getting my ankle looked at pretty soon and I'm not stuck on a floor so improvement?" she observed. "And lovely to meet you Pete, all things considered." Kristen had to smile now as she pointed out the other side of the booth if he wanted to join her.

"Gotham City Police Department actually. Just remember Gordon mention the term but then it could have been from a movie a lot of people had seen too." Kristen offered. "Last thing I remember was the squad room being shot up by the Manaix and being slammed out of a bullets path, cue floor skid after that." she tried to explain what had happened.

"He's a detective." Kristen nodded. She figured he either had spent time in Gotham or knew of people in the city.

[personal profile] kristenkgcpd 2016-01-03 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Totally sure." Kristen nods again. She was thinking Pete knew someone else with the same last name and this was a simple mixup. "Captain Essen had just become commissioner thanks to Loeb skipping town." she offered as a means of clearing things up (hopefully).

[personal profile] kristenkgcpd 2016-01-05 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Who's Claudia?" Kristen simply asked. She then had an idea,"Does the name Oswald Cobblepot ring any bells?" since he had been a frequent mention around the GCPD within the months since Fish Mooney vanished.

Myka was sitting a nearby table, her nose in a book when she felt the plate of cookies on her table slide towards someone. She glanced up sharply.

"Hey! That was my....." Myka stopped talking mid-sentence. "Pete?"
myks: (Default)

[personal profile] myks 2016-01-05 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Myka rolled her eyes fondly.... very fondly at Pete and his childish behavior. She had missed it more than she realized in her short time here without him.

"The spaceship? Yeah it's real." She smiled and looked out the window. "As for what whammied us, his name is Q."
feellikeibelong: (004 - Are you certain about that?)

[personal profile] feellikeibelong 2015-12-31 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Helena was taking a walk, not completely certain of her final destination, but she needed to get around, let herself think. Or try to do less thinking. That was one of her problems, she over-thought everything. And she currently had way too many ideas. The classes she'd been taking were allowing her to get more of a feel for the technology here. And from that came inevitable ideas for devices to build. And it brought her mind completely alive with ideas.

However, all trains of thought came to an abrupt halt when she heard a familiar voice. She hadn't heard that voice in over a year. A little smile crossed her face. She was happy to see Pete again, but she wasn't just going to come out and say as much. She moved around the corner and saw him looking every which way, a bemused smirk crossing her face.

"You of all people should know that nothing is impossible, Pete," she lightly teased, arching her brows in amusement.
feellikeibelong: (013 - Closed mouth smile)

[personal profile] feellikeibelong 2016-01-01 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Consider it a good sign that Helena did chuckle at how Pete initially greeted her. And then, of course, came the inevitable question of what she was doing here. Which was a slightly odd way to put it, but obviously Pete was operating on the potentially being whammied by an Artifact theory. Which wasn't out of the ordinary considering the world they were from. However, the second question made her freeze. And for a brief second, a look of utter confusion crossed her face before she tucked that away.

"I have no idea who Giselle is, but I was brought here the same way you were. A being by the name of Q brought us here, possibly because he was bored and wanted to play with those native to this universe as well as people like us." For the moment, she'd leave out the fact that Q had snapped her up from another universe or dimension. Helena Wells was becoming quite the dimensional traveler. Not to mention the jump into the future when she'd been brought to the Enterprise.

"So no, this was not caused by an Artifact, and we are really onboard the starship Enterprise." She was also for the moment not divulging that she did have a girlfriend here, if only because she knew how Pete got about the fact she was bisexual and she didn't need him getting on her case, or Zoey's, right off the bat. Unless he went further into detail on the whole Giselle aspect. Which must mean that Pete was from a point in her future. And that was a good thing to know, really.

[personal profile] feellikeibelong 2016-01-01 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Alright so there was a little more to the explanation process. Helena didn't have all the facts, or at least didn't pretend like she did. She had theories and deductions based off of what she'd gleaned from others since her arrival here. Which may or may not be close to the truth of the matter. And no, Pete, Helena had nothing to do with you being here. She hadn't played with the time-space continuum since the 1890s.

"Not right in this precise spot, no. But he seems to know what we are up to. He likes to mess with us now and then, it would seem." Helena wasn't entirely certain that Q was the reason she'd been haunted by Christina a couple months prior, but she was going to blame him anyhow.

"No it is not an Artifact because I was not on Earth before I showed up here. The place I was in had no Artifacts." Pete, whatever you do, don't try to convince Helena this is all some Artifact hallucination. If she starts to think Zoey is a hallucination, she will lose it. "And I was not sent there by an Artifact. I was not in contact with any Artifacts before I was taken to Niflheim."

[personal profile] feellikeibelong 2016-01-04 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh right. Pete translation. Helena had a tendency to not explain things in Lehman's terms, or in this situation Pete's terms. So it was shifting her vocabulary and how she was going to explain this. She would try to not confuse the hell out of him.

"Alright, let's start over. You and me being here on the Enterprise is real. Q, who is an extremely powerful being, kidnapped us. He pulled us out of our respective times and places, along with many other people on board this ship, and stuck us here. Not everyone here is from Earth, and likewise not everyone is from the same Earth you and I are from." Helena stopped herself from going on about the multiverse. While it made sense to her, Pete would be horribly lost, and she didn't have a good metaphor yet for describing it to him in a way he would understand.

"When Q kidnapped me about six months ago, give or take, I was not on Earth. He kidnapped me from a place called Niflheim. I had been taken there by a similar kidnapping method." Was that simple enough? She didn't know, and she was still trying to find a metaphor to use so Pete could understand the whole multiverse thing.
feellikeibelong: (024 - Could have dreamed of such a thing)

[personal profile] feellikeibelong 2016-01-04 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Okay wait, she explained it enough? Helena blinked, not fully knowing how to react there. She'd anticipated needing to find a metaphor, but then Pete seemed to find his own. And Helena kind of just slow blinked at him because she didn't understand who Wolverine or Ultron were. Give her a break, she's still making efforts to catch up on the century of stuff she missed! It had been made more difficult when she'd been taken to Niflheim and not had much access to books and no access to movies.

However, she quickly shook her head lightly to get out of the momentary haze.

"Yes, precisely like that. There are multiple universes. I was in a different one in Niflheim, met many people from other universes. Then Q took me from Niflheim and brought me here. Altogether I would say it has been a bit over a year since I was last on our Earth." And that also meant she and Zoey had an anniversary coming up in a couple months.

"Yes, this is real. We are in the future. We are on the starship Enterprise. We are no where near the Warehouse or Earth, for that matter. We recently just docked on an alien planet for a couple weeks. If you want, look out one of the windows, the stars are not the same as we are used to seeing from Earth."

Upon taking the cookie, there's a small dalmatian puppy jumping up at him. Mister Spots had seen Pete do the dance of his people as he turned in circles and had therefore come over to welcome the large one onto the ship.

Henry was watching this from a table not far with his cocoa. There was no danger to the man as Mister Spots was a softie and he would intervene if there was a problem. But for now, he let his dog do what he wanted. It could get quite amusing.
disneydescendant: (Crazy Smile)

[personal profile] disneydescendant 2015-12-31 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Mister Spots smothers Pete's hand in doggy saliva as he takes in all the crumbles left on the man's hand. He gives a solitary bark in response to the question, enjoying the ear skritches. After a moment though, he moved to lie on his back asking for belly rubs instead.

Henry, on the other hand, wished he'd gotten further with magical ventriloquy act so that Mister Spots could have sounded like Dug from Up. That would really freak out the other guy if he got a real answer from the dalmatian.
disneydescendant: (Dog Whisperer)

[personal profile] disneydescendant 2015-12-31 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mister Spots gave a cute headtilt at the questions, not knowing who Timmy was. But once Pete went in for the belly rub, all bets were off. He whined in pleasure and Henry decided it was probably time to step in before the man walked off with him.

"Smelling fudge in the middle of a restaurant? I haven't heard that one before."

Upon hearing Henry's voice, Mister Spots gave a yap but didn't move. Unless Henry told him to, he was going to enjoy the belly rubs as long as possible.
disneydescendant: (Smile)

[personal profile] disneydescendant 2016-01-02 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Henry chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. The little brat's all mine. He's called Mister Spots." He took Pete's hand and shook it firmly. "And I'm Henry. Nice to meet you."

Mister Spots heard his name and his ears pricked up but when nothing else happened shortly after, he dropped his head and continued enjoying the belly rubs. This new guy was really good at them.

[personal profile] disneydescendant 2016-01-04 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. It's the only thing he'll respond to. Unless you're my grandfather then he'll sometimes go by a shortened version." Gold had always refused to call the dog Mister.

Mister Spots whined a little at the lack of attention once Pete stood up but was a good boy and didn't for very long. He quickly righted himself and sat by Henry's leg, waiting to see what would happen next.

"It's not a dumb question." Henry smiled. "The where is easy. We're on the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D. In the future. The how on the other hand, not so much. There seems to be a being called Q that has control over space, matter and time. Not to mention parallel universes and pocket dimensions. He seems to be the cause according to polite opinion and my own research."

Info-dump delivered, Henry conjured a small bone with magic and gave it to Mister Spots to chew on so he would remain silent for the time being.
disneydescendant: (Laughing)

[personal profile] disneydescendant 2016-01-04 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Henry chuckled. Pete was looking like a little child at Christmas and he wondered if he'd looked like that upon meeting Tony Stark. He hoped not. He managed a nod at the first question but the second one required a more verbal answer.

"Oh, it's just a little magic." Just wait until he explains the family tree.

Inara's eyebrows shot up as she watched a man spinning around and the go right to a plate of cookies. Well that was a first. she smiled, obviously amused as she lifted her cup to her lips to take a sip of her tea. At least he wasn't attacking anyone, that was always a good sign. Lowering her cup, she leaned forward a bit and cleared her throat.

"Actually, you are on the Enterprise. I don't think many people know that when they show up here so I have to admit that I'm impressed."
companioning: shindig (Please wrap your drunken arms)

[personal profile] companioning 2016-01-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, that's... Nice to know?" That was very strange, but well if he felt that he had to announce who he was in love with... Good for him? Maybe he'd hit his head right before he'd arrived. Or maybe he was just slightly not all there. There were actually a lot of ors but somehow Inara managed to smile at him.

Leaning back, she wrapped her hands back around her tea mug as he began to move closer to her table. He didn't seem all that dangerous and so she let go of her mug long enough to reach out and shake his hand. "It's lovely to meet you, Mister Lattimer, I'm Inara Serra."

Now she had to think about that next part a bit and then nodded as she pulled her hand back. "About once a month it seems. Apparently some, well to be honest I'm not entirely sure what he is, a Q? Well, he's decided to bring people here from all times and places for some reason."
companioning: serenity (I've been awaiting for you)

[personal profile] companioning 2016-01-03 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Her eyebrows lift as he rambles on and he can certainly ramble on. Her lips twitch in amusement and she quickly lifts her cup to her lips to hide it as she takes a quick sip of her tea. She had needed a reason to smile and he's more than given her that.

"Well then, I'll call you Pete. And really, it's all right. You can call me Inara if you wish to."

She thinks for a moment and then sighs.

"I've been here about five months give or take and I know that there were people brought here long before that... How long, I can't rightly say, I'm sorry."
companioning: shindig (Your fingertips across my skin)

[personal profile] companioning 2016-01-17 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
She quickly shakes her head and offers him an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen any of them. But I haven't exactly been looking around the ship at those who are here." Which wasn't a lie. She'd needed time to grieve over the people she'd lost back home and then somehow wrap her mind about her present situation, it hadn't been an easy process.

"So they might very well be here. Perhaps if you tell me their names, I can look around for you."
