day 254 | action;
A long time had passed since Deanna had felt the distinct lack of her empathic powers. She had only felt this sort of emptiness once in her life before today and it was no better now than it had been then. Last time, she had thought she would forever be without them and felt as though she had lost a limb, but she was hopeful that this time she could figure out what had caused her to lose them in an effort to get them back. At least she had experience in dealing with this feeling. Not that this would help her much, but it was a start. It was better than nothing.

Unsure where she was or how she had gotten here, and feeling as lost and alone as she had ever felt in her life, Deanna wandered around the area. She passed what looked like a park of some sort, a library, and something that looked like a residential building. That seemed a little more permanent than she had been hoping for. She'd listened to the welcome message, but it definitely hadn't seemed like something the Federation would condone, which meant that she had been kidnapped somehow. That wasn't a good thing for many reasons and she didn't like to think of what Captain Picard might do when he found out, let alone Will Riker. It was inevitable that one of them would and she doubted either would take it well.

Still, being here was an opportunity to learn about a new location and Deanna intended to do as much information-gathering as she could despite the situation she had recently been exposed to and the one she was in now. What she really needed was a way to contact Starfleet, if not Captain Picard himself. She had found something that seemed like a communicator, but without having someone she trusted verify it, she was hesitant to use it. Whatever the case, she much preferred to make contact on her own terms and that included being in possession of her empathic abilities. So for now she kept searching the area. It wouldn't do her any good to stay in one place.

[ ooc: deanna can be found anywhere in the dome today, but she starts out in sector 2. ]

The universe, it seemed, was determined to keep himself and Troi from getting to the Beta Veldonna system, and the Titan. He wondered where she was as he explored, hoping very much that the entities that had captured him had let her be. As tragic as he found his separation from her, as difficult as it would be to be stranded here - ostensibly for the rest of his natural life - he wished her freedom from it more passionately still. He would find his way back to her, out of here; it would drive him.

But before he found his way out, he had to map his surroundings, get a feel for the other prisoners here. He explored. This place...if it was a holosuite, then it was an impressive program. If it was an invention, a polished and personalised prison, like the Royale, then it was bigger and more intricate than he could have imagined. The dome was a nice touch. Like the dangerous cave system on the holoship, it suggested that there was nothing beyond but the crushing ocean, and dissuaded attempts to escape that way point blank.

It was as he was passing the warm, earthy smells of what was in all appearances an Earth steak-house - his growling stomach reminding him that he hadn't eaten in what felt like days - he spotted a familiar head of brown hair. Hardly daring to believe it, he laid his thoughts on his sleeve, only to get no reply. Imzadi. Deanna. Is that you?

It made his approach all the more wary, and he called out softly; out loud. "Deanna?"

Unfortunately for Will, Deanna was indeed here with him, but she couldn't currently use any sort of non-verbal communication. It was as if the very location sucked the ability right out of her and a part of her was subconsciously searching for a reason that might be similar to the last one. She wasn't having much luck, but--

His voice caught her attention first and she swung around. Her body language was tight, extremely tight, and she might have been more than a little jumpy due to the fact that she couldn't sense anyone, not even someone she knew intimately, around her. Despite that and her fear that she was here without him -- for while she knew she was capable of managing, especially now that she'd run into Captain Picard, she didn't particularly want to waste or use up more of their time together than they already had -- a look of pure relief crossed her face and she hurried over to him with the intention of throwing her arms around him.

"Will!"

If he couldn't figure out how happy she was to see him, the constant in her life, then he really didn't know her at all.
