OTA Arrival: Welcome to A New Beginning

WHO: North Dakota
WHERE: Bunker, Outside 'Dojo', Around South Village
WHEN: February 1-5
OPEN TO: Arrival Locked to Aqua, OTA otherwise
WARNINGS: Possible discussion of canon character death


Bunker Arrival: Locked to Aqua

A tube. They are in a tube. Which of course makes a little bit of sense. Well, no, not any sense at all. Theta could probably justify it as something to do with slipspace travel, but the AI knew that couldn't be all of it. After all, there was no reason he should be aware when North wasn't. Worse, he couldn't find his chip. So things were definitely stressful for Theta, hovering there in North's mind while North hovers in a tube.

Agent North Dakota the display reads. He's here now, and Theta wishes he could find a way to wake his partner and get him out of this place.


Outside the Dojo: Obstacle Course Anyone? | OTA | (Feb 2)

He knows what it is the second he sees it, and for the life of him, North wants a piece of that obstacle course. Too many years in the UNSC Marine Corp, and with Freelancer after that, to not want the challenge.

Are you sure this is the best idea, North?

"I'm sure. Time me, okay?" North chuckled as he shifted to remove his coat and toss it up to the nearby porch. Doesn't matter that it's cold out. This place isn't nearly so cold as his home colony was. So really, going for an obstacle course in the middle of winter isn't all that bad at all. He's even quick across it, speaking of experience and serious training.

Basic, maybe, but damn it feels good to do this.


Around South Village | OTA | Feb 2-5

It's a lot to process. Being dead. Being here, being so many things. This place looks nothing like any place he's ever known before. The houses are just strange compared to even the backwater colony world he'd come from. It didn't even look like there was proper computer tech here, which was making Theta a touch annoyed. The inn itself was nice enough, warm and cozy and North found himself digging in a closet to try and find some gloves so he could be warm when he's outside. And of course he spent some time enjoying the food.

Where he really spends the most time, though, is near the jailhouse by the inn. Not because there's any particular reason to. It's just that there are so many animals there, warm and fluffy and the joy Theta radiated in his mind over seeing these animals.

"Theta?" Aqua asks curiously. She hasn't heard about this one before.

Whatever his answer is, she still nods at the request. "All right. This way. I'll take you out to the surface," she explains calmly, turning to lead him up through the bunker and back out into the open space. "Most of the residents don't come down here very often." She can't blame them, really. The place is creepy in a way that few people have managed in her lifetime and experience, but she has a feeling there are answers here that aren't anywhere else and that is why she'd made her way back in the first place.

Eventually, they do make it back to the surface and Aqua stands back to let Agent North Dakota take it all in.

It's... not like anything he's seen before. He's used to broken worlds and battle grounds, and one box canyon. Space ships and debris fields, and North looks out at the sights that Aqua brings him to, and he just takes it all in.

"Are... are we on Earth?"

Weird.

Fully understanding the scope of unease that comes of being forcefully moved to a place like this, an unfamiliar location and a vast open space at that. No one is familiar, no friendly faces to help. Which is why Aqua tries to be there for the people who have nothing and no one like she does.

"I'm not familiar with that world name," she says apologetically. "But I can tell you that this isn't like any world I know. I don't know of anyone who is familiar with it."

Nothing and no one. Yeah, that's about right.

"I..."

North falls to his knees just to consider it all. How... how do you even handle something like this? Nothing makes sense. Not even Theta can make it make sense.

"I think I need a moment."

"Sure." Aqua understands. It's all a little overwhelming at first, realizing they've been kidnapped and transported across worlds. She'd been overwhelmed and a bit scared herself when she'd turned up down here. She doesn't blame him for feeling the same.

"I'll be here until then. I won't leave you until you're ready."

Good place to end it and handwave that she shows him to town and explains more

“Thank you. That... that means a lot to me,” North says, his voice little more than a whisper.

Scared, he decides, is a word he will save for his personal issues back home. But this place isn’t fear inducing yet. Not like death had been. Perhaps he will learn better soon, but for now he just knelt there, trying to process the new shape of his life.
