[Well, at least she knew he didn't steal it from someone.]

We're stuck on an old colony ship. Somehow, it's been grabbing people from everywhere and we haven't found a way off yet.

[Lara looks impressed when he says the name of the place. So, they may not come from the exact same world, but obviously it's similar enough.]

Very good.

[The offer to cook gets a bemused look.]

Compared to hunting and flaying my own meals? I'll adore your cooking.

[Don't say purgatory, don't say purgatory, don't say purgatory--]

Do I remember what, exactly, someone tying me down and jabbing me in the arm with needles and supernatural ink-- no, Annie, I don't remember that one happening. Not today, anyway.

[He glares vaguely at his arm and gives it a shake, as if the tattoo will just slide off.]

Didn't even want a tattoo.

[ frodo notices that, the tightening around his shirt. he's more worn than last pippin saw him, perhaps, not quite the same as before. but he's still smiling that familiar smile, unable to stem back the joy at seeing his cousin. or the little lump in his throat as he hears those bright, cheerful words.

he pushes past that lump with a laugh, shaking his head as he places his hands on his shoulders, smile turning teasing. ]

Peregrin Took, do you expect me to dodge a flying can? I had no idea a Took was in the kitchen or else I might have fled!

Welcome. Oughta wake you up a little, heh. Though if you need water, there's plenty of that in the passenger area.

[But enough about that, because look at those lovely archaic weapons.]

So, where an' when were you before you woke up here?

[She's not saying it.

She's just thinking it really, really hard.]

Well there's no need to be-

[Wait.]

Does that mean it's happened before?

[He'd toweled off and shimmed back into his uniform- slightly more snug of a venture than he'd prefer, given his still damp state, then wrapped the towel around his shoulders as he ventured out of the arrival area. Seemed in Scotty's experience that the thin piece of fabric came more in handy aboard ships than near any piece of actual Star Fleet issued equipment. Particularly when it came to tubes and the escape from there of. And that had been the start to the day. More tubes. Test one experimental piece of physics on a pup and suddenly his life was made of tubes and cold.

And now empty corridors. Creepy. He stuck his head out, damp hair sticking up at every angle as he looked left then right. Aye. Creepy.]

Hello? Whatever the matter is this time 'round, I dinnea touch it. Officer's honor. Well, not much anyway. Not enough to warrant additional cruel and unusual punishment.

Ah, but looks are deceiving, aren't they?

[Fili grins and pulls one of his knives from it's scabbard, slamming it into the top of the can, prying the lid back to reveal the peaches in syrup]

Go ahead, try one.

[He moved to wipe his knife off.]

[ Lucy could have sworn she heard her name, but there were so many people about it was difficult to tell. It's only when she sees Susan shuffling through the people does she light up, bounding to her sister without a second thought, arms wrapping tightly around her waist.]

Susan! I'm so happy to see you!

[Have some Lu cuddles, Susan, because this little girl is relieved to see a familiar face.]

[THINK QUIETER.]

That's what you're going to ask me? Really? At a time like this, in a place like this-- I mean, we're in space, Annie, we're in space with tattoos--we may have joined a cult. Don't you want to talk about that a little bit? At the least we ought to get out there and look for George.

Sometimes I seriously worry about your priorities. I really do.

It's been grabbin' people from everywhere. [ whut. ]

Well now that ain't right. If I wanted to be here, I'd be here. I don't appreciate some old ship snatchin' me outta my bunk, dong ma

[ Don't mind him, Lilith, he's glaring up and talking to the ship. ]

None of us asked for it. [She shook her head and held out her hand for him to shake.] Name's Lilith, by the way.

[ it's like jax-- jax who's always been big, kind of like a golden lab when they were kids, all hands and feet and goofy grins-- is big enough to hold strength for both of them, and after a minute to realize she's shaking on the ground and feel hideously embarrassed, she nods. ]

Yeah, I think-- maybe just give me a hand?

[ because there's pride ( he'll carry her right now over her dead body ) and then there's stupid. ]

I said your bits are deformed and creepifyin' and should be covered for the sake of all, Jayne, I didn't award 'em the blue ribbon at the fair.

[ just. making that one clear. ]

Now. Any chance you didn't listen to me again and have a grenade or two on you?-- don't tell me where, a simple yes or no'll do.

Planet?

[oh no. no. that wasn't the answer he wanted at all.]

Great. No, no, it's fine. Sorry about that. So you're -- what are you?

[ wow hey rude, she's just going to fumble to grab her device and shove it in the pocket of her sweater, exasperated. ]

Always had a poor sense of humour.

[ mumblings and grumblings, meant for nobody but her and them who stand too close when the waves come. she purses her lips. ]

Not a joke, and it's not mine. Basics are there. Real simple-like. That or zài gōngzuò zhōng xuéxí and it's dangerous.

[ moonbrain or no, girl knows what she means, jayne. ]

[I'm not, the words are on his lips, as if this is just some other stupid fight at Winterfell, as if they are little children again. Perhaps Bran is a child, but Arya is fiercer, and older, he can see it in her face. So he bites at his lip instead.]

We are on a ship that travels through the stars. A space ship, they call it. And it might seem a dream, but it isn't, it's for true. They call it the Tranquility.

And Robb is here, with Grey Wind, and Jon and Ghost, too. They will be glad to see you. [It isn't a lie, but it tastes like one--only because Arya will not be glad to see them. She will run away again.]

[Summer turns away, sniffing at the floor just behind them, his curiosity satisfied. But Bran can only stare up at his mother, hardly daring to believe that it is her, for true. Would she call him sweetling if she knew the things that he had done? Should he tell her? He told all to Robb and Jon--surely Robb will tell her if he does not.

But--not now, and this is not a coward's thought, even if it feels like it. Better to wait.]

I am glad you are here. This ship is not always so kind, but it brought you here, to us-- [Even if he is afraid for her, a little, he cannot be unhappy.] Robb is here, too, with Grey Wind.

We will stay together. It will be as you say. [There are forces that might separate them, just as they did Sansa and Arya and Rickon--but when Mother says it, it seems as if it might actually be true, that they will be together. It's stupid, and childish, but Bran lets himself believe her words, for now, and he smiles up at her, carefully.]

[ she's always an open flame when she's like this. righteous fury, enough to light up the night sky even after the Sun's long past the horizon. he does so dearly love her. ]

Ah. Well, if we're just warming up, then perhaps we can spare a moment for clothes in-between our bloody massacres.

[ tut-tutting, big sister. ]

Though I might ask you to consider holding off on those, for the time being. I don't think a one of this lot is really sure what's going on here.

[ just because it's a gorram travesty doesn't make it up for grabs. ]

Would you-- quit reaching, girl, and settle. You can't go around taking other people's tinified ships, it ain't-- [ there is no proper captainly lecture for this. ] fitting.

[ shoving the ship more firmly into his pocket, thank you little hands get out of his pants. ] Now, I don't necessarily argue with the idea of tea in general, but what in Buddha's name does havin' it have to do with the nice explosions we're gonna make to get off this go tsao de Alliance-looking... thing?

[ she wipes at a particularly sticky bit of residue, shaking out her hand a bit to get it off of her fingertips. the attempt isn't all that successful, but with any luck they'll reach the end of the line before the end of the day. ]

It helps keeps us alive during the jumps. [ when it's not slowly killing you, which natasha's still pretty sure it'll do eventually. a cure had been found once, but she can't remember if another one had been created in case of another epidemic. ]

Wash, would you mind-- covering yourself, just a touch? Not that I wouldn't like all my crew collected in one spot, but less... naked would be preferable. If anyone was asking their captain's opinion.

[ seriously people this is why he has rules. ]

[ Cat has taken to exploring. What else is she to do? With her wolf in tow she watches the people around her: how they look, how they speak, how they dress, what they remove from their lockers. She must see what's there if she is to find answers.

She freezes in her steps when a man moves and she can see the woman against the lockers. She knows her. Arya took her name. Nymeria remembers her too for she continues until she's standing before Catelyn to smell her. ]

[he'd recognize that particular scottish twang anywhere and Kirk very nearly drops his datapadd when he hears it. Jim freezes, and it takes a moment for his brain to catch up to the kick start of his heart before he turns around, blue eyes scanning the hall until they fall on one previously exiled engineer, peeking out from near the lift. he literally stares agape for a good five seconds before he can get his voice to work.]

—Scotty?

[Lara offers the canteen back to him.]

I was stranded on an island. Our ship went down. The crew and I were just rescued before I woke up here.
