001: arrival

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[Enter stage right – Jim, in a Starfleet uniform, looking a little puzzled and wary, but certainly curious. This is what she joined Starfleet for, after all. (Well, not the astral plane specifically, but certainly the exploring new ways of life/alternate planes of existence, should they present themselves.)]

That was… unexpected. [She seems to collect her thoughts for a moment.] Still, it’s certainly going to make either one hell of a report or- […You know, some very good grounds for discharge.

Regardless, she starts walking around, exploring her surroundings. To someone who spends a lot of time in actual space, the view is simultaneously pretty and… disconcerting, and she finds herself wandering into the first structure that presents itself – the bar, of course.]

I’m Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise. I came through a… [Well, let’s see, what sounds more likely than shop?] …portal and found myself here. Can anyone explain to me where I am? [And if she’s going to want to be armed? :| ]

Most people walk into a shop...

Welcome to the Astral Plane.

{There's a pretty young woman sitting at the bar with a glass of what seems like wine, but it looks a bit thicker. Like, you know, blood. But nahhhh, couldn't be.}

...James? That's a weird name for a girl.

[There is a faintly distracted looking girl carrying two swords and humming to herself... Yeah, Brigitta does that a lot :/]

You're on the Astral Plane; it's really nothing to worry about [she pauses for a second and glances down at her swords wryly] ...I know it doesn't actually look it but I am being truthful, honest.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[...How helpful.]

I did that.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

Is that a name or a description?

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

It's an uncommon name, yes.

[No insulting her name. She likes her name!]

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, that gets an amused grin.]

I'll take your word for it. How did it... come to be here?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

No, it's definitely weird. Because it's not feminine, I mean.

{Tilts her head slightly}

Ne, but a captain? Is the Enterprise a ship?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Yay! No running and screaming!]

Well, I suppose the bar was brought by somebody before I got here and just stayed, the swords are mine and as for the Plane... I have no clue.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

A starship, yes. [Conveniently ignoring the name-critique.] What's your name?

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[Fffff, like she would. Ever.]

Do you live here?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Me? My name is Diva. {she's not one to talk}

A starship? What is that?

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[Clearly.]

It's a ship that travels in space.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta officially finds that rather awesome.]

Nope, unless it decides that everybody needs a holiday and throws us all into a place with baths, most of the time I can leave whenever I want to- you probably can too.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

How neat! I guess you must be right at home on the Plane, then.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

So you came through a portal, as well. Where are you from?

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

Not entirely. I'm used to more... fixed points.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

That's one word for it [She shifts her grip on her swords thoughtfully; because that question obviously requires SO MUCH thought] ...I was born on earth- Greece to be exact; though I actually came here the first time from Italy I think and I'm currently in France.

[Smirk is go!] I travel around a lot.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

This place is pretty fixed.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[Ahah. Jim returns with an wry smile.] I know the feeling.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

I meant the stars. They're not in any fixed pattern.

[Starfleet brat, 'sup.]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Ohhoho; does she sense a fellow adventure nut?] Do you? You've travelled a lot then?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

They never are. It doesn't really matter. I mean, this place is between realities, so there are weirder things to worry about.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

[Ohhhhh yes, she does.] My ship - the Enterprise - is vessel for exploration.
