Ten Forward

[thesurlyone]

In the busy evening of Ten Forward, a new arrival seems to appear in a swirl of white lights, already irate at something or someone from her tone of voice.

Already, the brunette had a finger up in that classic position of a mother about to chastise her child and half of her sentence tumbled out of her lips.

"--you orb me, young ma--"

And immediately, Piper stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"Oh...kay...where did you orb me to now, Wyatt?" she quietly asked herself.

Piper took in her surroundings. Looked like a bar but it was definitely not P3. She hadn't thought about remodeling it lately and was pretty sure mock ups were not in the books for today. The furniture looked futuristic and, as she slowly made her way around, a small sense of panic rose in her chest. She couldn't call Leo right now. Oh no.

"Paige?" she called out cautiously. Piper reached up and tucked her hair behind her ears, hands at the ready.

Just in case.

Laguna. Like the beach. Piper watched, amused, as he slid off. Carefully, must've been recently injured. He didn't seem to attack her, so that was a good sign.

"Yeah, so my son says: witch-napped. And just where are you from, Laguna?" she asked.

"Well, I was originally from Galbadia, but I've recently made my home in Esthar," He replied, then he paused. Wait, witch-napped? While he didn't want to immediately cause an alarm but he did recently send a really evil Sorceress to space only a few years ago. But this one seemed nice and he met all sort of people during the Conflict. Better to wait and see. "Are you a sorceress, then? I'm just a regular ol' soldier."

Whoops, probably should've kept that one under wraps but, she figured, completely different case because even the Elders had no reach here. At least, according to Chris.

"Sorry, pal, regular ol' witch. Pretty sure you can't just take the Bart down to Esthar. How'd you get mixed up in this mess?"

[transient_gunner]

Laguna didn't have that much experience with witches or sorceresses aside from Adel. Maybe this lady's version of regular was like Ellone. He wasn't going to think too hard on it, although now that he had his memories, he found he missed more than just his late wife. He hoped his daughter was okay.

He shrugged. "Hard to say. Seems I've got a knack for being roped up into these sorts of things. How 'bout you?"

[thesurlyone]

"Well, I thought it was my son's doing but now I'm not so sure. How lon ghave you been here, Laguna?" she asked.

[transient_gunner]

Laguna looked thoughtful for a moment, tucking his hair behind left ear as he thought it over. "You know, I forgot to ask. Woke up in the Sickbay, so who knows. They made it sound like it hadn't been long. A few days, I guess?"

[thesurlyone]

Okay, looked like this Q guy was grabbing people randomly and from all over the world.

"Few days, all right. Does time pass normally here? Like 24 hours in a day?"
