Who: Daryl Dixon and OPEN
What: Not sure yet
When: Sunday night
Where: Park
Warnings: Probably language

Daryl was baffled. All of the monsters he expected to find at every turn, all of them, were just not here. Nothing odd about the place aside from another freaked-out town council (which he understood but it still pissed him off) and the fact they couldn't leave. Of course, to Daryl, the fact the were no walkers was the weirdest thing. What was worse, he had no idea where is people were aside from Rick and his young kid. He supposed if he was gonna see anyone from home it was better it was Daryl (maybe better than Merle anyway) but what did that mean for the rest of his team? He didn't care for reassuring theories. He wanted to know the truth. He wanted to go home.

He stalked the park as if he was patrolling the perimeter. He had his cross-bow in hand, always alert. He was yet to relax. In the absence of what made sense he did what was familiar and hoped, in that, something would come of it.

Tris had also been out patrolling, mainly because she was feeling restless and angry that someone wanted to force her to get stuck with a needle. No good had come of any of the last times someone had stuck her with a needle and she wasn't about to offer them her neck here without knowing what was going on. So, since she was so against it and no one had said anything to assure her that they weren't going to do that to her or Tobias, she was staying out of any building that she could be trapped in.

When she saw the other man with the cross-bow, she had stepped back into the shadows. If he was one of the so-called police, she wasn't going to let him take her down that easily. But damn, she really wanted to talk to someone else about what this place was and what was going on here. Tobias wanted to keep them both safe, but Tris was known for her recklessness.

"If I come out to talk to you, are you going to shoot me and take me to those doctors?"

Daryl knew the park was a public place. He expected other people. He even maybe expected them more than he expected walkers. Still, it had been a long time since meeting strangers had been anything short of a reason to be very very cautious, at best. He wasn't used to social niceties but, then, he hadn't been before the walkers came either.

The girl was young (or looked young, she could have been 100 years old for all he knew in this mixed up joint), she also looked alert. Aware of herself. There was a time Daryl may have noticed she was pretty but that had long since slid down to about last on his list of priorities.

Rather than being insulted, though, her question actually warmed him to her, just a little. "If you're not here to take me to 'em either then nope." He lowered his weapon a little to show his good will though his finger remained on the trigger. "You can talk all you like."

He was rusty at social exchanges, used to Rick speaking for the group or his few close friends starting the conversations they wished to have with him. Daryl was a man of few words but this girl was in the same boat he was. He supposed he should at least try. "You're not from here, are ya?" he drawled.

Tris was sixteen in years but the life she had been leading and everything she had been through made her feel so much older sometimes.

"No, I'm not here to take you to them," Tris said with a shake of her head as she came further out of the shadows. "I wouldn't do that to another person." She wouldn't even do that to Peter and that was saying something. "No, I'm a stranger here, too. I've only been here for a short time and I'm already having to hide from power hungry people."

That's what the mandate seemed to be to her, any way. It reeked of Jeanine and Erudite control measures.

"I'm Tris."

Daryl lowered his bow a little more. He didn't sense any threat in the girl and, even if there was a threat there he figured he could handle himself.

"You come here to hide?" he said, his tone a fraction softer. If Daryl was to honest he was hiding as much as checking the boundary.

"Daryl," he said with a nod. "Why'd they be interested in you? You from their future too? If you believe that." Or was she one of those who claimed to be an angel or something out of one of those fantasy books Daryl knew about but had never read. "I won't tell 'em, if that what you're worried about," he added. "Only thing I'm tellin' 'em is to get lost."

Tris nodded at his question. "It seemed safer than waiting at one of the houses or hotels for them to come in after me. I won't let them put a needle in my neck and I won't let them use me or my friend for torture."

Because that is how she viewed anything that happened to do with needles these days -- and with good reason.

"I don't think my world is their future because so many, many things are different in my world. But because I'm not form their time or place, they want me to come in for what they're calling vaccinations."
