One Mutant Space Pirate and his Merry Adventures

[hesnohero]

(One Week ago: Alex Arrived to confusion and weirdness., yesterday, he had more weirdness, and was still lost.(OOC Note: The link to the test drive is for the Lorna-Alex thread.)

Today, Alex is wandering, a PADD of stuff about this time in one hand, a giant sealed mug of coffee in the other, and humming softly to himself. He's faintly wet, fresh from the shower after working out in the gymnasium, and he mostly was just trying to see more of the ship. He wasn't necessarily trying to get into areas he was not supposed to be in, but he also wasn't necessarily trying to avoid those areas, either.

Alex wasn't so much looking for trouble as staring it in the eye and calling its mother bad names.

It was a bad habit he had.

"Must have been nice," Lorna says with a sigh. "We were always in such a rush there wasn't time to get to know each other slowly."

[hesnohero]

"I'm sorry it was that way in your world. Hopefully you will have a better time here, in this one." He nodded. "Maybe he'll show up here."

[magneticxman]

"We broke up. Even if he showed up it wouldn't be good." She sighed, resting her head in her hand. "Do you remember that? When he left X-Factor?"

[hesnohero]

Alex winced. "Ah, okay. Yes, I remember. I know about that, and after..." He shook his head. "Man, my dream self is an idiot and an asshole, and very confused."

A pause.

"Possibly also cursed."

[magneticxman]

Lorna winced, drinking again. "I hoped he was happy. When he left he was so troubled. Life isn't easy for any of us." She shook her head, then took a deep breath. "I'm glad I got a chance to meet you. It's reassuring to know he's happy in some universe."

[hesnohero]

Alex winced, then shook his head. "Spoilers."

He sighed. "I'm glad to meet you too. I'm glad you're here, and I hope this place gives you a chance to find happiness somehow.'

[magneticxman]

"That seems like a good note to end on, before we make each other sad again." Lorna smiled at Alex, then stood and grabbed a sealed bottle. "It's too dangerous to go alone, take this."

[hesnohero]

"Thanks." He took the bottle, gently patted her shoulder and rose.

"It was nice talking with you. Maybe we can hang out again sometime?" And with that hopeful note, he headed out.
