Day Thirteen
Who: Emma and Haruka
What: Her arrival
Where: Courtyard
When: Day 13, Mid-morning
Rating: PG
Status: In progress.

Emma had been hit hard by Ray's death. It had been days since she'd helped him to move on, but no matter what she did, she couldn't stop thinking about him. The memories and emotions she'd experienced had been his, not hers. A victim taking possession of her mind had never happened before. She was supposed to be a powerful mutant; she still didn't understand how that had happened.

Sitting in her room at Sanctuary, Emma knew what she had to do. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Emma was leaving Mutant X. She needed to get away; sort through this mess. Maybe being away for a bit would help. Sighing to herself, Emma knew her teammates wouldn't be happy with her decision. But, it was for the best.

Coming to her feet, Emma stretched in an attempt to ease the tension out of her body. Knowing what she had to do, Emma let out a slow breath as she opened the door. It was time to face her teammates; it was now or never. The only problem was, when Emma opened her eyes, she was suddenly in a random courtyard. Sanctuary didn't have a courtyard. Thinking that maybe she was reading someone's thoughts unconsciously, Emma closed her eyes and re-opened them. Nothing changed.

This definitely wasn't Sanctuary. Sure, Emma had thought about leaving but she hadn't meant like this! She stood in the unfamiliar courtyard, looking a bit confused. What was going on?

"So, they're kind of like the staff?" Emma was surprised by that. She figured someone, or something had to take care of the place, but that they wouldn't see anyone doing so.

Emma was definitely going to have to get the lay of the land sometime soon. Maybe tomorrow. Right now, she was going to check out her room, see what it looked like inside. "Thanks," Emma smiled, stepping into the building.

She stopped in front of the door, frowning slightly. "What do you mean?" Emma figured the room would be pretty bare -- fairly normal. Haruka's comment threw her for a loop.

"Kind of," Haruka replied. She'd never really thought of them as 'staff,' but it made sense. Who else would tend to the grounds? There certainly weren't any other people here aside from the prisoners.

Haruka took a breath as she tried to figure out how to explain the rooms. "The planet is...slightly psychic," she said, halting over the word 'psychic'. She had no idea if psychic powers existed where Emma came from. She wasn't really used to the idea, except that Rei-chan had a sixth sense, and, in a way, Hotaru-chan did as well. But neither of them could read minds the way the planet could. "It...it gives us what we want, or think we want. When I arrived here, and opened my door, I walked into a room that was an exact replica of my room back home. And I mean exact. Right down to the stain on the bedside table."

She looked up at Emma, trying to read how the other woman was understanding all of this. "So, behind that door, could be whatever you're most familiar with, or what you most want it to be. And you can change it, just by thinking about what else you'd want. My Michiru's created a bottomless wardrobe in our room." She chuckled a bit, thinking of the clothing in both closets in their room. Even though the room could accommodate whatever they desired, some of Michiru's things still ended up in her closet.

Even though they never spoke, Emma wondered if she could reach out to them with her powers. Through images, even. Maybe she'd try it out when she finally came across one.

"Psychic?" That was new. Oh, psychic powers existed in Emma's world. Hell, she was living proof of that. "Wow, that's kind of cool," she admitted. "Makes you feel more at home, I guess?" She didn't exactly understand the reason for this place, but if it provided the comforts of home, then she supposed it wasn't terrible.

It was a lot for Emma to take in, but it was making sense to her. "Huh. A bottomless wardrobe, I could use one of those" she nodded, chuckling and then taking a moment to steady herself. "I guess we're going to find out what's behind door number one now," Emma commented, taking her time to unlock the door and open it. It was almost as if she was afraid to find out what it looked like.
