Alicia & Liam

alicia spinnet & Liam Shaw 📍 Outside near the stream | 📆 4 September | Day 14
❗ - None HERE

It probably looked like Alicia wasn’t aware of her surroundings. She was on her back with her eyes closed in one of the many patches of grass near the trees. She looked peaceful. Almost asleep, but she was anything but. Her body was a little bit sore after the two runs in the Ninja Warrior Course. She wasn’t going to admit she was annoyed the Green team beat them.

Quieting her racing mind, she was trying to listen for anything that she could. She could hear the distant chatter of others around. Some woodland animal sounds and the leaves on the trees act as wind chimes in the light breeze. They weren’t speaking, not like the one that had told them what they were doing here, but she was hoping to pick up on something. As she listened, she tried not to let her mind wander to the island she’d been stuck on. This felt so much like that that she didn’t feel as worried as many others did. But that didn’t mean she wasn’t looking for answers, too.

“Peaceful, isn’t it?” She said, hearing footsteps heading towards her. “For a kidnapping, that is.”

	"Me too, don't tell," she teased. Alicia did enjoy seeing what they could do. Alicia leaned back, thinking. "Hmm," she thought for a moment. "There are a few options." She took another moment. "The question is, what can we get away with?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Liam laughed, such admissions were usually worth a trip to the shrink but they were not playing by Starfleet's rules here so he would allow it.

"Good question, we don't want to end up angering our host." Who knew what might set his leaftyness off? "I guess if we went on a bender, he would get upset because everyone would be too hungover to play his games." They would need to think of something else.

"I thought about trying to find berries to make something to drink out of, but had the same worry, not sure they'd approve of a bunch of hungover people trying to get through an obstacle course, and if it is anything like the ninja course..." Alicia rotated her sore shoulder. "Not sure I'd want to tackle that hungover." Well, she'd done similar things, but she didn't feel like she needed to mention that.

"Harmless pranks might be okay, though," she said thoughtfully.

	"Too bad we don't have access to the kitchen." The food just appeared at mealtime; if Leaftsy wasn't an outright menace, he would have a great future as a chef. "So can't spike the food and I'm not seeing any poison ivy around here, I'm coming up empty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, don't even get me started," Alicia groaned. "Do you have any idea how much I miss cooking?" She grabbed a flower and threw it at him. She did laugh at his comment about poison ivy. "Haven't seen anything that is poison but that doesn't mean there isn't anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Liam laughed. "See now if Leaftsy really wanted to test our skills, he should have let you and Pike have a bake-off." And while it sounded simple, he knew that kind of activity could be cutthroat.

"Considering what I know about sentient beings, it would be just as likely that all the plants around here are related to him." They hadn't seen any other members of his race but that could be because they thought the trees surrounding the park were just trees.

	"Now that would be really fun!" She grinned. "Or really dangerous, depending on how serious it gets." Alicia could get a little overly competitive. Alicia looked around them. "It's another feeling knowing the trees are watching us. Always thought they were watching. This is a little bit different." She admitted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was a bit unsettling, yeah but a definite possibility. "If he just lets us go back to the ship after all of this, I'm going to be surprised." Because who kidnapped people to play with and then sent them on their way after it was all over?

He smiled and shook his head. "You know there is a being in my time who reminds me a lot of Leaftsy, I wonder if they know each other."

	"If this guy is anything like the people who kidnapped a bunch of my mates and school rivals to play Quidditch for six months, they'll let us go," she shrugged. It was one of the reasons she felt a little less freaked out by everything here. "Yeah? Who would that be?" She tilted her head curiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds worse than this." Although, he wasn't sure how long they were going to be here. "A being named Q, very little is known about his people really he just sort of shows up and gives everyone in Starfleet a hard time. We can't retaliate because well, he's not really harming us and if pushed, he might decimate the galaxy. He is very much an asshole." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"The Quidditch part was a lot of fun," She wasn't so sure about the rest of what had happened there, still.

"He might decimate the galaxy? Sounds like someone fantastic," she said sarcastically. "If he does know Leaftsy, let's hope they aren't working together, not sure I am in the mood to deal with an arse that might decimate the galaxy, or multiverse, or whatever."

	"I thought they might have been but they have a different way of going about things; Q would want you to know that your suffering was his doing." Leaftsy seemed pretty hands-off, happy to let people participate and not get involved. "It's kind of odd, out of all the people in the universe, the only people he seems to bother are the humans."

	"Note to self, don't want to meet Q," she thought for a second. "All humans? What about witches? Does he consider us humans? We are human, just..." she laughed. "I don't know what I'm thinking." That was true. "Maybe Q is jealous of humans?" She asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The way she said it, Liam had thought perhaps she had met some people who didn't feel that way."Witches are humans." he reassured her.

"Jealous?" He snorted. "Or maybe he's such an ass that his own people won't talk to him and he wants someone to play with." And Starfleet so easily took the bait because, above everything, they strived to understand all life forms.

	"Glad you think so," she smiled. She was rather used to having different opinions on what she was. "That's possible too, but maybe it is something of jealousy and wanting friendship but might not know how or is too much of an arse as you said, seems a bit like there is something strange to Q."

	"The fact that you're trying to psychoanalyze him? That's adorable. If he ever pops up, I vote you talk to him, he'll probably try to seduce you." Because yeah, he had tried to do that before. "But a smart girl like you, I'm sure you could get the upper hand." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Law enforcement, Shaw, it's my job to try and figure out why someone does what they do and how to catch them or help them, based on it." She laughed. "Usually catch them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	titancaptain 2023-09-14 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I would pay to see you catch him." A lot of the people Q harassed were too lenient on him, Alicia didn't look like the kind of person who would put up with his nonsense, and Liam liked that. "So, can you do magic without the wand?" It wasn't his area of expertise but he was curious about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	als 2023-09-14 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	"That fond of the bloke?" She teased. At his next question she nodded. "A little, but we mostly it's with the wand, there are some things I can do, but not as much." She admitted, heck wordless magic was a struggle for a lot of people, wandless was a whole other thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	titancaptain 2023-09-15 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	"There are few people I'm actually fond of." His family of course, and a few close friends." If Q went missing, Liam doubted anyone would come looking for him, hell they would probably throw a party. "Are you allowed to be showing me all this magic?" Seemed like something they would be very secretive about. "Or is it a case of 'the rules are different here'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Atlantis has a way of making that grow," she was surprised by the number of people she'd added to those she considered family, especially because back home she felt like she was pulling away from people more and more.

"Here? It doesn't matter, we're kidnapped by a Leaf. Think the whole magic is real thing already flew out the window," she laughed. "If we were in my world, yeah, it'd be against the rules. Muggles aren't supposed to know about magic unless their kids end up being muggleborn or they marry into a wizarding family."
