Characters: Shayera Hol, and anyone who runs into her!
Date: June 23rd
Location: she'll start off in the Earth Sector, but she'll wander to the other sectors throughout the day.
Situation: her arrival on the turtle!
Warnings/Rating: it's Shayera, so don't expect her to be too friendly. other than that, not really expecting anything too severe.

[Honestly, Shayera had been in worse situations. Like the Thangarian invasion, or the Cadmus Crisis, and countless other that would no doubt take too long to list. But most of those incidents, she chose to get involved in. This one? Not so much. If the "Emperor" had asked and given her a good reason to come, she might have agreed.

But no, they dragged her here, most likely while she was sleeping, and so far, no way of getting back to Earth. Needless to say, she didn't feel like playing along. Sure, she'd at least go to her apartment in the Earth Sector and check out the room they gave her. Well, at least it's got plenty of room for her to stretch her wings. But after spending a little time in her room, she explores more around the Earth Sector, trying to ask people for a possible way out, or even more information about the place.

Once she's gotten her bearings in the Earth Sector, she flies over to the other sectors, moving onto the Fire, Wood, Water, and Metal Sectors in that order. Expect her overall demeanor to be frustrated, muttering curses under her breath occasionally.] If I see those guys again, I'll take my mace, and shove it up their-- [She cuts herself off, since people are starting to give her looks. Of course, her scowl isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Approach at your own risk.] I dare this day to try and get worse.

Comments

[imaginate]

I know what you meant. But still. [He sighs, quietly.] I've never been grounded for this long.

[wingedwarrior]

Miss the feeling of going where you want, huh?

[imaginate]

Yeah. It's really hard to switch from having the entire universe to explore, and then get stuck on a turtle. It's all right here but... I miss all that space.

[wingedwarrior]

All that freedom. [She snaps her fingers.] Gone like that. I'm surprised you haven't gone stir crazy. [God knows she'll lose it.]

[imaginate]

S'why I come out here. It's quiet, [he points through some of the undergrowth, towards a hidden clearing, as they pass.] it's almost like space.

[wingedwarrior]

[There was a certain serenity to the forest as they walked through it, the only really sound being their footsteps. Shayera could normally be seen as the rowdy one, but that didn't mean she disliked silence. Hell, she often appreciated it.] Minus the view.

[imaginate]

Oh, there's nothing that can beat the view from up there. [His smile brightens, his sense of childlike wonder surfacing.] You ever seen the sky from Rigel 7?

[wingedwarrior]

I'm not sure. I've seen the view from a lot of places, but I can't remember all of them.

[imaginate]

[He smirks and holds up his ring.]

When this is working again, I'll show you.

[wingedwarrior]

I'll be holding you to that. [She pauses, laughing quietly and shaking her head like she just can't believe what's happening.] I've barely been here a few hours, and I already have more plans with someone I just met than people I've know for ages on Earth.

[imaginate]

Hey, when it happens, it happens.

[Kyle's very quick when deciding who he likes and who he doesn't, and Shayera's pretty firmly in the former category.]

Say, would you be willing to maybe give a few self-defence lessons? There's kids from our world here and they need a teacher.

[wingedwarrior]

Teach self-defense? [That's the kind of thing Black Canary and Wildcat would be all over, but her? Not so much. Then again, if they're kids and need help...] Sure, if they really need it. Just warn them I'm not exactly the nicest teacher. [Lord knows she'd be a hardass.]

[imaginate]

They don't need nice; they need to learn how to protect themselves.

[Whoops, here are his Strong Feelings on the subject.]

If you're game?

[wingedwarrior]

[Don't worry, Kyle, Shay can understand those.] Very game. I can manage teaching some kids how to fight, and how to do it well.

[imaginate]

Good. I'll send you some students.

[A beat, and a mischievous grin to lighten the mood.]

Y'mind going against me once in a while? I'm pretty good with a sword, if I say so myself.

[wingedwarrior]

Okay. It'll be like training recruits on Thangar. [Do you regret your decision yet, Kyle.

Oh, now there's quite a smirk on her face.] Whenever you want to go, I'll be up for it.

[imaginate]

No pain, no gain, right?

[Bring it on.]

[wingedwarrior]

Oh, there'll be plenty of that, believe me. [You asked for it.]

[imaginate]

[He picks his way past a few trees and they come out into another clearing, and Kyle says contemplatively-.]

Are you gonna throw your mace at me to test my reflexes?

[Completely not bothered if she says yes.]

[wingedwarrior]

Chances are high I will. [Said like it's no big deal. If you know Shayera that well, you know her mace is practically a limb for her.]

[imaginate]

[DRAMATIC SIGH he can never catch a break.]

Well, at least I'm a fast learner.

[GRUMBLE.]

[wingedwarrior]

[There's a chuckle, and a teasing smirk on her face as she pats the mace at her side.] Then it should be no problem. Hey, you might even catch it someday.

[imaginate]

Someday? Might come quicker than you think.

[A quiet, contemplative pause.]

John ever talk to you about the Corps?

[How are they doing?]

[wingedwarrior]

Sometimes. [It's not that she and John didn't spend as much time together, it's just... actually, no, that's it. She misses being that close to him.] But he hasn't talked to me in a while about them.

[imaginate]

It's just that it seems in every other universe, they're doing better than they are in mine, and I wanted to know if it was true for yours, too.

[A slight shrug. He doesn't want to keep talking about John except in the lightest of ways, because they both miss him.]
