The great hunt...

[reincarnshaman]

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!))

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.

[missginnytonic]

"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.

[reincarnshaman]

"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.

[missginnytonic]

"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.

[reincarnshaman]

"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.

[missginnytonic]

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.

WHY DIDN'T YOU POST STUPID COMMENT!?

[reincarnshaman]

"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?"

[reincarnshaman]

"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...

[missginnytonic]

"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."

[reincarnshaman]

"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."

[missginnytonic]

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

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

[reincarnshaman]

"Yup. Hence this little game."

[missginnytonic]

"So this game has no rules?"

She leans her head to the side with a smile.

[reincarnshaman]

"Nope."

Oh, he has a feeling something is about to come out. That's okay.

There aren't any rules after all.

[missginnytonic]

"Okay, how do you know if you won or lost if there are no rules. First one to get turned neon colors loses?"

[reincarnshaman]

"Easy enough. Who ever gets tossed into the brig first loses."

Yes. They're basically trying to get arrested.

[missginnytonic]

"Wait wait, the goal is not to get arrested?"

[reincarnshaman]

"The goal is to be the last one arrested," Trever said, holding up a finger. "We're seeing how well security reacts."

[missginnytonic]

She looks at him and smiles.

"So like a test, to see how fast they react or to see how long you have to get away?"

[reincarnshaman]

"Both. Any information is good information."

[missginnytonic]

"You can never, have too much information."
