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.

"Yeah. Try four years or so." Cole remarks, still sounding a little bit bitter about that... because, from his perspective, he and Phoebe were still totally in love with each other.

...And he's still not decided on what to do about that.

[thesurlyone]

"Ugh, when was the scavenger demon?" She closed her eyes and held up a hand. "Know what? Never mind. So we're all stuck on this ship. Phoebe's got the book. Anything else I should be aware about before I lose my mind?"

[demontobeloved]

"Nope. Not that I know of."

A pause.

"Oh, wait. One thing that'll probably help; There's no demons nearby. No Source. At least, none that would know to attack the Charmed Ones on sight."

[thesurlyone]

She kept her eyes on him, still cautious to an extent.

"Right. You and Phoebe. You're...?"

He spoke about the Source in third person. But then again, he did when he was the Source too.

[demontobeloved]

"We're... Temporally no longer together."

And those words are heavy. It took a lot to say them.

[thesurlyone]

"No, I mean back home. Before you got here. Was Prue around?" she asked. What was the best way to ask 'were you the Source before you got here?'? And how would they call on the Halliwell line from all the way in space?

[demontobeloved]

"No... Uh, Prue is..." He motions with a hand. He knows how sensitive this topic is, not really wanting to broker it. "The last thing I remember was Phoebe and I going off to find a demon who had killed two witches. Was making the Elders a bit jumpy."

A pause.

"And, yes, we were still, very much, in love." So that was a headfuck.
