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. ]

[Korra hasn't been having the best day. Or days. First Penelope left, and then Bart. She was half-convinced when she got up this morning that Asami would be gone too. That's the way this place works. It forces you to get close to people, teases you with people you care about, and then takes them away.

She's pretty sure she hates this stupid place.

But she likes Quatro Park. It's one of her favorite places to run through her bending forms and man, does she need to release some pent up ~~anger~~ energy. Deanna may feel the earth shake beneath her feet like tremors before an earthquake.

She should also, uh, watch out for flying boulders.]

[ well at least the good news is that deanna's gotten enough information by now and run into enough people she knows and cares about and whom she trusts to be much calmer and more open to dealing with this place and settling in. or potentially settling in. she doubts she will ever be really settled in.

still, the little tremors under her feet are really strange and the flying boulders are... well. new. unexpected. and a little unnerving. if she had her empathic abilities, this wouldn't be an issue, but as it is, she just... takes cover for a moment. ]

Hello? Is someone there?

[SHOOT!] Sorry! Are you okay? [Korra's kicking herself. She hasn't made a stupid mistake like that in bending training since...well, ever. She's never actually had to worry about training somewhere where people won't expect flying boulders. Still, she knows Master Katara would be disappointed with her recklessness. Not to mention Master Nika...

She looks around, trying to find whoever she almost hit.]

	[ once it's clear there aren't any more flying boulders, deanna makes her way over, looking apologetic herself. ] It's all right. I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting to have large rocks come soaring my way. [ and if she had full use of her abilities, she would have known someone was there even if she couldn't see her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ well, no harm done, so deanna's not upset. ] You must be strong to be able to throw rocks that size. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never seen anyone capable of that. Is it a special ability? [ super strength or one of those "powers" she's heard about? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I guess you could call it that. I'm a bender. It's a thing where I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	counselled 2014-01-20 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	A bender? Do you mind if I ask what a bender does? We don't have anything like that where I'm from. [ not that she knows of anyway. or at least not on betazed. either way, she's yet to meet anyone with an ability like throwing rocks that's called bending. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bending is the ability to control an element. "Bending" it to your will, you could say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Next time I'll be certain to let you know. [ and maybe next time she would have her abilities back and be able to sense if there's anyone here. ] Until then, I should let you get back to practicing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Welcome to prison. [Said dryly] I'm Korra. Do you need help or anything? Have you found anyone you know here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. [ she laughs softly anyway. hooray humor. ] I'm a good friend of Captain Picard and Data, if you know them. [ hmmm... ] Actually, do you know where I can find a bowl of chocolate ice cream? [ or a chocolate fudge sundae. she'll take that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Data's the pasty white guy, right? [She's spoken with him a few times. But, uh, chocolate ice cream...] I think there's an ice cream place near the Defense Force headquarters? Maybe? I don't really eat the stuff... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Data has pale skin, yes. [ in a manner of speaking. but deanna smiles in amusement at korra. ] I'll have to find one. I could use a good chocolate fudge sundae. [ poor korra. she's really missing out. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[To be perfectly honest, that sounds pretty disgusting to Korra. She's lactose intolerant and from a world without processed foods; there are exactly 0 things that sound at all appealing about a chocolate fudge sundae. But Korra's accepted that she's pretty much a weirdo in that regard.]

If all else fails, I'm sure there's a food cart around here that can help you. They serve pretty much everything.

	[ korra would hate replicated food, wouldn't she? deanna smiles in response. ] I'll be sure to look. That's what I really need to settle in. Otherwise, I think I just need to walk around for a while and familiarize myself with this location. [ she sounds oddly calm about having been kidnapped. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
