day 254 - video; 001
[ When Riker appears at last he's circled back round to Sector 2, framed against the hedge maze. There's no distractions, and his introduction is absent of distractions too. At least at first. ]

Good evening. I hope it's not too late in the day to introduce myself, but I didn't wish for anyone to be surprised to spot me around the place. My name is William Riker, and I just arrived with the latest group of people. It's nice to meet all of you, if unfortunate considering the circumstances. I appreciate the kindness that has been shown to me since my arrival.

I understand some-- [ And suddenly Riker stops, looking up. It's started to rain, and he wipes a single raindrop off his nose. ] I'd better wrap this up. I'd like to speak to some friends of mine, whom I'm reliably informed have been here for a while. Maybe after I get in out of the rain, if that's perfectly alright.

Deanna, I hope you're in somewhere dry.

[ oh that is a name she's familiar with. jean-luc's mentioned will riker as his first officer, his second in command, and spoke very highly of him. she'll be quite interested in meeting this one. ]

Am I to assume you're familiar with Captain Jean-Luc Picard?

[ her voice is extremely british, if anyone's keeping track, and she speaks of picard as though she's familiar with him. spoilers: she's intimately familiar with him. ]

[ So it is 'Captain' here. That's interesting, and obviously it means there's no point dancing around the subject with her.

Riker smiles despite himself, and gives a slight nod of his head. He's standing under something now, waiting for Deanna to arrive, but his hair and clothes are already drenched from the sudden downpour. It's been a long time since he last got caught in the rain. ]

I'm his First Officer. [ Or rather he was. But Data is here, and he has to be careful what he says--not that he doesn't expect the android to see right through him at the first opportunity. ]

[ well, she doesn't call him that, but she remembers he introduced himself as that to her so she's being respectful of a man she has the utmost respect for. ]

It's a pleasure to finally meet you. [ she knows he and deanna were being reassigned after their marriage, but she doesn't know if he knows that, so she's going to play dumb for now. ]

Jean-Luc is... [ hold on, she has to think of the right word. ] ...a good friend of mine. [ yes. friends. kissing friends. friends in love, as of recent admissions. cough. ] I run the clinic here, so if you ever need a doctor, I would be happy to help.

[ she has a feeling he's going to grill her eventually on her relationship with his captain when and if he ever finds out... ]

[ He doesn't wholly catch it, not that he could define it, but he does raise an eyebrow, inclining his head curiously. There's a sparkle there. An 'oh, a good friend,' but it isn't something he says out loud. Not yet. It'd be more than unfounded when he doesn't even know that he's thinking it yet. ]

You're a doctor.

[ As though that explains everything shut up Riker. ]

I'll have to bear that in mind, then. What's your name?

	[ she isn't somewhere dry, as she turns up a minute later, having taken in his communication while she was making her way back to their agreed-upon meeting place. she wipes a bit of hair away from her eyes. ] I can't say that I am, but perhaps we should try to find somewhere that isn't raining.

[ He almost laughs when he sees her. Oh, it's been such a long time since he was caught in the rain--or even got wet! One of Jean Luc's naval recreations, perhaps, or a program for unpredictable holofishing, where the weather could be as against you as anything else. Deanna is already half drenched, and he can't help but chortle, reaching up to help with the distracting strand of hair. He's found a spot just out of the rain, but it's been serving as a stopping point, just enough to stop him from getting more wet, but not nearly enough room for both of them. ]

There's a set of apartment buildings nearby. A young man told me that we can stay in any room that's not already occupied. Maybe there's towels?

[ they usually don't have to deal with this sort of thing, after all. it's almost comical. deanna offers a smile, a small grin of amusement, as she walks up to him. ]

The captain might let us stay close to him or wherever Data and Robbins are. [ yep, robbins as in captain pike's first officer, if will is good with his history. ] I could ask him. Have you seen him yet?

I haven't. I was hoping to see him.

[ Robbins; he stows that revelation away until it's useful. It's fascinating, but they really are getting wet, and as endearing as it is, he's protective enough to want to get his lovely new wife out of the rain. ]

When we know where the Captain is staying, we'll relocate closer to him. For now, Deanna, let's just find somewhere dry, and safe, where we can wait out the rain together.

	[Kitty smirks a little into the camera.] I'm not sure if they even need to make it rain or if they just think we enjoy it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ He doesn't make soaked-to-the-skin look too bad, but he does at least grin back. ] I'm sure it keeps everyone on their toes. Is it just rain, or do you get all sorts of weather? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's snow sometimes. Only once so far in this facility. There was also fruit punch once. [No, seriously, that was a thing.] I'm hoping that was a one time deal. Sticky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1stofficer 2014-01-19 03:06 am UTC (link)
	I can imagine. It really rained fruit punch? That sounds more like something from a holodeck simulation--a novel. [ He beams. ] I grew up in Alaska; I'll take the snow over the rain any day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
