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. ]

	Deanna smiles gently. "So you're fairly new as well. And your interests wouldn't be the same as mine." For instance, he wouldn't have need to find clothes like she does. "I'll have to learn my way around. It seems to be a large location, easy to get lost in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know that headset? It's actually got a lot of the information you need. But there's stores too. And you don't even have to pay for it." He said, stretching his paws out. Is he going to get up to greet her proper? Nope. Too comfortable here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The idea of not needing money isn't an unfamiliar concept fos someone living within the United Federation of Planets, but it's good to know anyway. "I suppose I'll have to check it later." The headset. She's still not sure of it. "I appreciate your help and I hope we have the chance to get to know each other once we've both had time to settle in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan." He glances towards her once again though, his eyes following on hers. "What interesting eyes you have." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She isn't used to people commenting on her eyes. It's interesting that he's picked up on that of all things. "You could say they run in my family, on my mother's side." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He pauses, before getting up and moving towards the curb. He sniffs at her a moment. "You... Don't have any powers, do you?" Do you know how many people he has met with both strange eyes and strange powers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know what you mean by 'powers,'" Deanna responds. She's really always thought of her empathy as an ability, but maybe that's what he means. If it is, she doesn't really want to let on that she has any extra-sensory abilities just yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Like anything. Back home there lots of people had superpowers. Different eyes are a good way to tell-- How many lions do you know with green eyes?" He muses, then flops back into the grass. He shrugs at that, but then nodded. "Maybe yours are just dark." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	counselled 2014-01-18 02:48 am UTC (link)
	That... isn't really helpful to her, but she shrugs gently. "I don't know many lions that can talk, either." Which is true. "I think so. It's a natural appearance in my family." Also true, though she's omitting a lot. "Do your eyes mean you have powers?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There are plenty where I come from, but all more human like than I am. And I used to be human." Not exactly a happy story, that. "Ah. Well, my eyes are kinda from my change. When my mom changed her eyes were purple, and she didn't become a cat either." He grunts, shifting a shoulder as if to shrug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Deanna makes a note to talk more with him when / if she ever gets her empathic abilities back. That might make a conversation go better. For now, she doesn't want to pry. This is her first day and she's in no frame of mind to play counselor to someone she doesn't know.

"Well, you have very lovely eyes and I'm sure your mother's were as well. Mine are completely natural; they've been like this since the day I was born." For whatever it's worth to him, anyway. "It's been very nice talking to you, but I think I should be getting back to my walk." Her walk, her exploration, whatever he wants to call it. She still has a lot of ground to cover.

	"Aww. Thanks." Although he winces slightly at the bit about his mom. Probably shouldn't tell her about how she's kinda evil now. That said, why isn't she here in prison instead of him? "Are you going to tell me your name first?" He wonders. "I'm Shadow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She notes the wince and files it away, instead smiling gently at him. "I'm sorry. I'm Deanna Troi. It's nice meeting you, Shadow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Likewise miss. [He stretches out, that old cat yoga position, before taking his spot under the tree-- At least until he'll start feeling raindrops later on.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
