[ There's a perplexed looking young man in view of the screen. Anyone familiar with Locus will probably recognize him, but something's definitely different. That tell-tale x-shaped scar? Gone. His hair is shorter, hanging just below his jaw. Moreover, his eyes don't quite hold that thousand-yard-stare to them just yet.

He looks, well. Teenaged.

He's also holding Luna up to view. She's purring heavily, but he appears bewildered by her presence, if anything. ]


Does anyone know whose cat this is? I just...found her here when I woke up.

Until you find them, it looks like she's adopting you.

[He's just a little bit jealous. An affectionate little animal would do a lot to dispel the creepiness of a big, empty house.

Playing it cool, though. He's not about to broadcast himself getting all rattled.]


So, uh. Do you know where we are?
nofortunateson: (yikes)

A house in the woods.

[Just saying it is enough, and he stands from the bed, feed shaking as he makes his way to that unfamiliar closet. The sneakers in there look like they'll fit, and he thinks he saw a backpack.]

Which might be connected? Whoever lives here has some serious armor and a whole wardrobe of guns.

[Gabriel takes a long, slow breath in through his teeth, trying to push down the imminent sense of freaking-out and nodding gradually.]

It's . . . a lot more similar than I'd like, honestly. Here.

[A quick tumble of shakycam into an empty hall and another room, and there's a set of armor against the wall, purple darted with bright green.]
nofortunateson: (the hell you say)

video -> audio

[personal profile] nofortunateson 2017-06-04 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If it is, they're ahead of the game. My sister and I weren't going to enlist until next month. Never mind we haven't told anyone.

[Okay, switching to audio - both for hands-free and because he knows the universal truth that digital transmissions are Forever, and he doesn't want whoever this is to be able to find footage of him checking the safety on a few of the smaller firearms and jamming them plus the applicable ammunition in the front pocket of the bag.

If this is a test, it's probably what he's supposed to do. If it's not a test, it's definitely what he's supposed to do.]


I don't suppose you've seen a girl who looks kind of like me, by any chance?

Hah, okay. I'm gonna have a quick look around here and see if I can't find something more military and less 'fancy summer house.' Is it okay if I call you back later?

[The other guy sounds like he's doing all right, and Gabriel doesn't know if he could help even if he wanted to. Who knows where they actually are in relationship to each other. But he's not going to just leave another castaway drifting like that.]

Gabe. Nice to meet you, Sam, talk to you soon.

[And he's off and away. Hopefully there's something nonperishable in the kitchen he can grab.]

[It takes an hour or two for Gabriel to both figure out what's going on and that it isn't a load of bullshit. But when he does? Sam's the first person he calls.

He's a far cry from the grin-over-wariness of the last call, flushed with excitement and slightly scuffed. There are also trees in the background. Treetops, specifically.]


Sam? Tell me you're getting the same story I'm getting.

Basically, yeah. Heck of a best-case scenario.

[He's not sure about the dimensional angle, but for him the real meat of the story is that entire 'superheroes' bit.]

Did you try flying yet?

Just hovering feels weird, but once you get up to speed it's pretty great.

Did you solve the mystery of the kitten, yet?
nofortunateson: (grin down)

[personal profile] nofortunateson 2017-06-05 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be both.

[He grins, because even if this is crazy, it's absolutely the kind of crazy he can roll with. And there's something reassuring in this particular back and forth, even if Sam's incredulity is a lot less spiny than what he's used to.]

Hey, do you want to grab something to eat?
nofortunateson: (conversational)

[personal profile] nofortunateson 2017-06-06 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously. I think this superpower stuff burns calories.

[He hitches his backpack up onto his shoulders, not sure what their options are in the way of food but sure it's better than a few energy bars.]

Have you seen any sign of a cafeteria? Anything like that?
nofortunateson: (eyes up)

[It takes a little while longer of zooming around to find his way into the station corridors proper, and from there a few rounds of directions to get to the mess hall. Once he's there, he distractedly grabs a tray of whatever looks and smells the least actively offputting, already scanning the room for Sam by the time he gets to the end of the line.]
