More calm perfection (Max)
Piotr was finding it hard to enjoy all the beauty. His gut told him, paired with experience, that a place this lovely had to be highly dangerous. It had to be. The sun shone down on him, warming his skin and washing away the cold of the snow, as well as the nostalgic feeling he'd had while he'd been on the last planet. He felt less calm and less willing to be accepting of what was going on.

Which could also be due to everything being so seemingly perfect.

He wanted to find Rob as soon as possible. He'd been enjoying the direction of their last talk. Not so much the subject matter, but the actions that had taken place while they'd been discussing the difficult things. There was hope that they could progress even further. Piotr was certain that he wasn't just being foolish.

The Russian headed toward a lake he could see, hoping that it would take him out of the thick forest.

Max felt naked and dressed all at the same time. His clothes were fine, though the lack of zipper was a little strange. His hat was certainly not his cherished fedora, but everything fit him well. He did have a momentary thought of being a better dressed wizard or an elf. That made him laugh until he thought of all the crazy he'd met in the last however long.

He had no idea who he'd meet as he started walking. The detective did hope he wasn't the only one here; he didn't think it was impossible for the aliens now. Not after being the only one other person back in some strange hunter celebrity world. That had thrown Mary for a loop definitely.

Closing time... There was no good reason for that song to pop in his head other than he had had a few drinks back in the celebrity world. He'd also had a few back in the Winter Wonderland that he'd played the hermit again. He'd done a little exploring, but that didn't mean he got overly friendly with the other travelers. He was going to have to fix this strange bout of anti-social. It just wasn't him.

He'd have happily walked along in random song, but he saw a body that looked somewhat familiar. The dimensions were right.

"Ho there." He chuckled at his choice of words. It seemed to fit the way he himself was dressed. A little modern wizard, and the big man's fit this odd mix.

Piotr turned, not quite recognizing the voice, but getting the sense of familiarity. He spotted Max easily and stopped moving to wait for him to catch up.

He noticed that the detective was wearing similarly absurd clothing as himself, though he had to admit that it wasn't at all as bad as what he'd been put in at the resort. This clothing was just very ... flimsy. Very frilly, without having actual frills. It was all entirely made of something like silk, but a lot lighter. He wore a shade of green he hadn't even known was a shade, in a long tunic-style shirt, and a pair of pants that were just this side of being harem pants.

"It is nice to find somebody so quickly."

Max had thankfully been put in grays. He liked grays. He was suited for grays or khakis of the trench coat variety. He nudged the hat back a bit then sighed as he realized it was a little too floppish for tipping. He just let it rest in its way on his head. He was a hat man.

"Having troubles finding people?" Odd that a detective would meet someone who was looking for someone. Not odd, just amusing? He stuffed his hands in his robe pockets, happy to have pockets.

"You're from the group." Wasn't a question. They'd seen each other in passing a few times; it was hard to miss a man of this fellow's stature. Max knew he wasn't exactly a fade in the background kind of guy usually either.

"Seen much of..this yet?" he motioned to their surroundings.

"Usually it takes a little while and some exploring to find a familiar face." Piotr shrugged. The odds had rolled in his favor this time, it seemed. "I am from the group. Piotr Rasputin. You are Max, the detective."

He looked around and shook his head. "No. Just the forest. I started to walk in one direction, getting nothing but more forest. I turned around and went the opposite way and have found you. I think I have made the right decision."

He found himself glad that he hadn't been put in Max's clothing. They were a little more silly than he thought he would be able to handle. Kudos to Max, though, for being able to have a conversation without feeling absurd.

"Have you seen anyone yet?" He supposed the answer was no.

Max's brows rose at the knowledge, but it really wasn't all that surprising. Or, more who he was wasn't a secret. He nodded with a smile.

"That's me. Max Fielding, P.I." He nodded again. "Forest and forest. There can't be only forest. Not if people are being dressed like they're Lord of the Ring rejects." He didn't mind his clothes, not much, only a little. He wanted his damn hat back at least. He really liked his hat. He was attached to his hat. Now if it would just remained attached to him - he didn't say that thought aloud. He really didn't want to wake up with a fedora permanently affixed to his head.

"You're my first here." He shrugged. "Let's continue walking in the direction that seems to be the right one. Might meet others along the way."

"No, I do not believe we are in a place that is only forest. I believe I have just gotten unlucky and ended up in the middle of the forest and went the wrong way."

Piotr was disappointed to hear that apparently Max had not seen anybody else. He had hoped that there might be a quicker path to finding friends again this round. One friend in particular.

"I agree. Let us continue." Piotr consciously kept his stride smaller so that Max wouldn't have to run to keep up.

"So, looking for anyone in particular?" Max supposed that this Piotr Rasputin could be different from others the detective had read about. Unless there were other Piotr Rasputins roaming the multiverses. He supposed there might be. The Colossus he knew was had attachments; sure, the big guy cared about everyone to a degree, but there were a few that were special.

"The people I would look for are gone. Most of them." He sighed softly. He did wondered where the Amazonian princess had gotten to. He would have to find her. He shifted his robe a little, pulling the robe a little tighter. It wasn't exactly cold, just a thing to do.

"Where do you think we are now? Somewhere very natural. Don't think we're living in a Renaissance faire again."

"Everyone." He shrugged. Then added. "Rob Winchester?"

The Winchester had to be known to Max, Piotr found it hard to believe he wouldn't be. They had much in common, he felt, and would make good friends. Piotr didn't know if Max knew about Rob's... preferences, so opted to not say why he was on the lookout for him.

"Gone?" Piotr furrowed his brow, he didn't like the idea of more people going missing. He still hurt at the loss of Rayne.

He shrugged. "I do not know. It is a very strange place, however. If I were in my own world, I might say that it has something magical to it. We cannot assume based on past experience on this point, unfortunately."

Max thought about the many people he'd met since they started on this trip, and he gave a slight nod as faces came to mind. There were more than a few with the last name if he remembered correctly, and Rob..he nodded.

"Don't think I met him as a Winchester, but if he's the guy I think he is, yeah. You two close? Didn't know you were from the same reality, or whatever you call it." Max wasn't making any implications; he didn't want to piss off the Russian. He was just curious how the two men knew each other.

"Magic is possible." He knew things about Johnny, and those things were certainly a little strange. They were out of the realm of normal, even before the whole alien abduction thing took off. He smiled, giving a slight shrug. "So, now how do we deal with magic? You done much in the way of magic?"

"We are friends, but we are not from the same reality. We have just become close in our journeys."

He hoped that would satisfy Max. He didn't think the guy was a nosey busybody, but he didn't really want to have to lie. Piotr did not enjoy lying.

Piotr shook his head, "I do not know how to properly deal with it." His sister was the one with the real magic. He had only just begun to tap into the potential when he'd been at Malden, but hadn't studied seriously. It was in the blood, the Rasputin line. If Yana were here, she would know what to do.

"I have had interactions with magic users in the past, but I do not know myself what we could do."

Max nodded slightly at the explanation. He didn't even bother with making assumptions, or at least he tried not to. He nodded again, letting the information sink in as he usually did. He was the sort to just let things stew; it always seemed to work for the fictional sort of p.i.

"Can't say magics my forte. Actually, can't say I believed in it much until recently. Aliens aside. Oh, I knew there were things outside me and the norm, but didn't know I'd ever really get involved with it." Not until Johnny and the kid. He gave a slight smirk at the idea of it all. Then the aliens had whisked him away to an adventure he'd never really asked for. He would have been happy as a professor at some little college. Or that's what he told himself some days. Other days he knew he'd get bored at the college and need something more. He'd seen too much to be really happy with that much quiet, even if he thought he had found his bliss a few planets ago.

"You know. I met someone that might be a little on the magical side. He was giving off a not so normal vibe." Max gave a soft chuckle at that. "Anyway, I guess we deal with the magical types when we come in contact."

Well, there was a lead, at least. "Who is this that you know that deals with magic? We should find him immediately. He may know the dangers and how to protect ourselves."

Piotr was all for having as much information as possible. The fact that Max might know of somebody who could help gave him hope. Maybe they weren't in a dire situation right now, but that could change at any moment. If it did, they'd be better off if they knew what they might be facing.

"I do not know if we should go seeking any that are not in our group without knowing more. I would hate to be harmed due to something stupid." Of course, he'd made sure to emphasize those not in the group, because he very much wanted to find Rob.

"Yeah, got a feeling he's not going to be helpful." Max shook his head as they walked. "Course, he might. He's one of those capricious sorts, or seems to be. Then again, I know a guy who may know some stuff. Not the fickle one, another one."

Johnny, the kid, the rock god wannabe. He stuffed his hands deeper into his pockets, and focused on the bounce of his hat. It was a ridiculous hat, but it was his. He didn't feel right without one, even if he'd preferred the fedora.

"Okay. Though we're not gonna find much if we don't ask questions. We can snoop all day long, but you gotta ask something of somebody sometime. That's how I've always done it." He paused long enough to give Piotr a quick look. He knew the guy was trained, and there was the whole comic book background. "You probably have a few other ways, mm?"

While Piotr's heart sunk at the idea that the first suggestion might not work out, he gained hope again that Max already had somebody else in mind. This was a good thing.

He remained silent at the suggestion he might know other ways to find stuff out. There were other ways. None that somebody like Max would approve of. "Yes. Asking eventually is something we must do. But we must know more before that is an option."

The Russian made a motion with his hand, and encouragement to start walking. That was a good place to begin. Movement.
