[ Action, 627 Topper ]

[ Uh yeah, so Steve is waking up next to a drone for the first time and falls out of bed because hey, wasn't he in 2012 a second ago? And wasn't he, you know, taller? He's going to do the right thing this time, which is not freak out and tear a hole through the wall, probably because it would kill him to do so.

Instead, he will walk downstairs and snoop around and-- there's a picture of him on the wall, smiling, with his 'wife' and two kids.

He sees a rotary dial on the phone and he picks up to call numbers he remembers from 2012. And then numbers he remembers from 1943. And then zero. And then hangs up and goes to rifle through anything he can find in the shoeboxes of the downstairs closet to tell him where he is and why he's there.

Have fun waking up to your new dad sifting through files all over the kitchen table. ]

[ Action, around town ]

[ He doesn't believe this for a second. But this isn't just any sort of thing; he's small again. Someone's trying to make him forget. So he walks around town, because the one thing he needs right now is to get out of town. ]

Excuse me. Do you know the way to the train station?

Maybe you can get some of the others to help out. [Just an idea, he seems a little on the... um smaller side to be doing something like that alone.

But regardless, he has heart and she smiles sweetly at him.]

Well, Steve, it's very lovely to meet you.

Re: action;

Well, do you know maybe if there are others working to get out of here?

[companioning]

Honestly I'm not certain. Though I can't imagine why there wouldn't be since none of us should be here to begin with.

Re: action;

[pursuitofcappiness]

You're right-- I'll just, have to find the right people to speak to.

Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

[companioning]

I'm sure that won't be entirely too difficult.

Oh, I'm from a planet called Shinon. And yourself? [Yes, she sure did just say planet.]

Re: action;

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'm from Earth. Uh, actually, I'm from America, and originally not too long before right now.

Shinon... what's it like?

[ Having met some aliens lately, he isn't even surprised. ]

Then you must feel a little at home. I'd always wondered what Earth-That-Was was like. [She glances around.] Though I never thought I would actually experience it.

[She looks back to him and her expression brightens.] Oh, it's lovely. In my opinion it's the most beautiful of the Core Planets. It's covered by trees and mountains... And the cities, when it's dark... They light up and from a distance look like stars.

Re: action;

We should take a plane out of here sometime, when we can.

[ OH, that sounds really forward, like a date, um, VERY QUICK ADDENDUM ]

--So you can see the cities, from up there. They're like clusters of stars too. There's a lot more to see about Earth than this small town. I think you'd like it.

[companioning]

[She grins, amused by him. It indeed did sound like a date but she found him sweet, so she didn't mind.]

I would love to join you if you can find a plane. I think it would be nice to see the city from above.
