The great hunt...

After this conversation...

Veena is moving carefully down the corridors of the Enterprise, stopping at intersections and looking around before proceeding in a chosen direction. She's walking with a much more determined purpose than that of a normal cat. Just a short while behind her, Trever follows.

Trever is loaded down with a super soaker rifle, two squirt guns with removable magazines and a bandolier with reserve magazines for the handguns.

He appears to be hunting something.

Sneaking up on him is a bit of a bad idea because he'll likely spin and shoot you with green dye.

Or, occasionally you might come across him barreling down the hallway chasing after someone while screaming curses.

((Companion post to this one Let me know if it's okay for your guys to get shot at!))

"No, I'm Ginny. And you're not my brother Bill I thought you were either, Sorry, I don't know I'm pretty much indifferent to this shirt"

She was more worried about if her chest was now going to be stained green.

Oh. Yes. Her chest is going to be stained green and it will take a lot of scrubbing to get it off.

The concoction Kale used to make the dye was developed by their older brother. While it might not seem like a chef would be good at these sorts of things, to be a professional chef you needed to know how ingredients interacted with each other and how to be able to substitute for missing ingredients. And of course he'd want to make a dye that stained...

"I'm Trever and that's a good thing because it's probably permanently stained." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Noticing that her human had started to talk to someone, Veena came over to inspect Ginny, her tail held up in the air like a proud cat would.

"Yes, I see and that's okay maybe I should dip the whole thing in the green stuff"

She has older brothers and he somewhat reminds her of them. She notices the cat. "I think your pet missed you. Why are you going around shooting people? With green stuff..."

"My brother might have some more dye if you really want to," he said before going on,
"Well, shooting someone with just water is sort of boring. I mean there's no real incentive to avoid it. You'll just dry off. Now getting shot with green dye on the other hand... "

This makes perfect sense to Trever. The idea that staining things and people is a bad idea hasn't really - nor would it really ever - occur to him.

Trever only has the one older brother but twelve aunts and uncles that he was raised with - the youngest whom are only five years older than him and a few months younger than his older brother.

He glanced at Veena, "She's checking you out... be careful, she's trying to turn the entire ship into her loyal minions." Veena flicked her ears at Trever as she continued her examination of Ginny.

Ginny smiles as she stoops down to let Veena smells her hand.

"I see and yeah I guess that's true. But you know sometimes people could just do this."

She flicks her wand and frowns with it just seems to become brighter green. Welp that wasn't supposed to happen...

Veena sniffs the hand and then tilts her head into the 'scratch me' position.

He raised an eyebrow at the wand work (mostly because he's never seen someone use a wand to clean their shirt before) before innocently continuing, "If it could be easily cleaned by magic, it also wouldn't be worth avoiding... though as far as I know the recipe doesn't make it greener when magic is applied to it. It could just be a poor interaction between our differing magics."

She starts to scratch Veena's ears.

"Yeah, I didn't realizes that you were magic. And you're right. It wouldn't be a nuisance if it was easily removed. I didn't think about it, It's just and yeah I would say mixing magic would be a cause..."

"Really? I always assume someone has magic until told otherwise," Trever said. Mostly because the idea that someone wouldn't have magic is still very foreign to him.

Meanwhile Ginny has a happy cat.

"Really? Must be a difference in worlds. Do you not have muggles and Squibs?"

Ginny asks as she stays stooped scratching Veena because that she knew how to handle. To be honest mostly she had contact with only magic users but she wasn't sure about this place.

"Considering I have no idea what those, are..." he said wryly. "But, no. Everyone in my world has some sort of magic."

Well, up until the point that Veena teleports. Which she isn't going to do right no. She's got a human paying attention to her so what else does she need?

"Yeah, They are nonmagical people. Muggles are just normal I guess, they have no magic in their backgrounds at all. Squibs are born to magical parents but have no magical talents at all. "

She would totally be surprised if the cat did that.

"That sounds interesting."

Most people are surprised. Even people in Trever's world. But then again, like in most worlds, house cats don't teleport in Trever's world as a rule.

"That's funny, because I've been finding worlds like yours just as fascinating," he said.

"Yeah, I don't know if you can go to my world or not. Just to see it. I think that learning about other worlds is always an interesting and fascinating. I think intriguing, is the word I should have used."

She said thinking.

"Why wouldn't I be able to... besides no one here seems to be able to willingly leave," Trever said. "Though I do agree, learning about other people's worlds is very important."

Possibly not for the reasons why Ginny thinks so. His is more tactically based. If he knows about other people's worlds then he can figure out how to counter act them.

For example, for Ginny, taking her wand away is probably the best way to negate her magically - but he's not sure if she can do magic without a wand. Wands aren't necessary for magic in his world after all.

"Yeah, I don't know that we can leave, Do you think we're stuck here forever? What if people keep coming on and people don't leave? Will it become over run?"

She then looks at him and she would be pretty unmagical without her wand. But stealing a witches wand isn't that easy.

"Well, my roommate vanished. And the general scuttlebutt appears to be that people vanish and sometimes return without warning. That happened to Dr. Crusher," Trever said. "As for if we'll become over-run... I don't know."

Trever gives her a bit of a blank look, as if he doesn't realize he's said something off. And yes, stealing a witch's wand isn't easy, but Trever is trained for that sort of thing.

Not that he would do it.

Unless absolutely necessary.

Ginny then gives him a look as she leans her head to the side slowly.

"People just vanish and sometimes come back? But other times they are just gone?"

She's not sure this sounds like a good thing she puts her wand back but she seems to be on guard.

"Yeah. But there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. With any luck they're sent back home."

Trever is pretty relaxed. Sure he's armed with all the squirt guns (and a knife) but her guard doesn't seem to be noticed.

Seemed to be.

Ginny hooks her thumbs in her jeans pockets.

"That's true, and we can hope that they are going home. So what do you do when you're not splattering green stuff on unsuspecting people?"

"I managed to convince them to let me work as a veterinarian on board. And I'm hoping to maybe get some work with security," Trever said.

A vet who enjoys shooting people...

"Yeah, so you can treat the pets? I think you would be good with security."

She then looks down at the green spot.

"Or at least you have the element of surprise."

"Yeah, so I can do that. And I would like to work with security, if not full time. Too many rules, likely. I tend to work better as an independent agent."

Trever grins. "Always expect the unexpected."

"Right, rules can be restricting, sometimes you have to think out side the box"

She grins up at him. "If not you get surprised."

"Yup. Hence this little game."

"So this game has no rules?"

She leans her head to the side with a smile.

The great hunt...
