Where the hell am I???

When: Week 1 Day 2, Morning
What: John arriving
Status: COMPLETE!!!

John, had his coffee cup in his hand and was looking at his phone as he pushed the door to Rudy's lab open, calling out as he entered.

"C'mon Dorian! Gotta go, we've gotta call Dorian. Kiss Rudy goo.... what the hell?"

He stopped mid-word, mid-step, and looked up, his phone having completely changed as he looked at it in his hand, to something a lot larger and completely different things on the screen. He almost dropped his coffee cup when he saw that in front of him, instead of Rudy's cybernetics lab was a counter, a wall, and a blue giant, crouched down looking at something in his hand. His coffee cup then did hit the floor as he quickly drew his gun.

"Who the fuck are you and where are Rudy and Dorian?!"

And John stood in the door and stared back, jaw hanging down as his brain tried to find some reason, some cause, something to explain the hallucinations he was now having. Because large, blue humanoids called Jake were easily comething he could have created in his own head, but huge technicolour flying dinosaurs like that was definitely something outside his realm of creativity.

"Uh..." John blinked, and the creature didn't change shape, nor grow another head, nor get bigger or smaller. It stayed there, a strange growth now attached to Jake's massive plait of hair. "C'n I... you know... is there another way... how about if I just stay here?" he suggested, staring at them both.

Jake asked Banshee to stay where he was and to be quiet before breaking tsaheylu. Walking back over to John, he crouched down so as not to tower over the man, letting his hands hang loose between his knees while his tail curled round his ankles. "Hey, it's okay, he won't hurt you. No flying, then? That's cool. And yeah, you could stay here, there's a bunkhouse over there with really basic rations." He pointed in the direction of the bunkhouse as he spoke, before looking past all that to the ridge that surrounded almost the whole area.

"Or, uh, I guess you could walk to either Acoste or Calderville, but they're miles away. I reckon your best bet, if you don't like the look of Banshee, is going through the ring, to be honest. You kinda look like you need to be 'round people right now, y'know?"

"It's not the flying, man," John said, giving Banshee a sidelong glance as he shook his head. He rubbed his eye with the heel of his hand, then looked up again, stepping outside as he blinked his eyes clear.

"I only recently woke up from a 17 month coma, and have been trying to get my memories back, pushing to find out what happened so we could catch the bastards who betrayed us." He stopped and looked at Jake, giving him a wry smile. "Sorry, guess none of that's really relevant now. But yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how badly my brain is addled to come up with creating you two, but I guess if it is addled, it's what I have to live with now," he grinned. "And I'm hoping you are telling me that there are other people, human kinda people, around?" he added, a glance around telling him that wasn't so far fetched.

"Jesus, man, that's shit. 17 months?"

Jake had been unconscious for a couple days after he'd been shot, and waking up in a hospital room when the last thing he remembered was going on maneuvers in Venezuela had been disorienting enough, but seventeen months? Fucking hell. Shaking his head slightly, his ears flickered as he glanced down at his feet, but then he laughed as John said about his brain being addled. "Yeah, there are other, human kinda people around. You just got lucky and met me first. Your brain's not addled, by the way. You are here, I'm real, and Banshee's real too. Promise."

Standing up straight again, Jake absently rubbed at a spot just below his breastbone, and then looked down at John. "Travel by ring, yeah? You're gonna need to look at the phone I gave you, and find the... uh, there are three pictures of the different settlements. Find them and pick which one you like the look of."

	John did as Jake had told him, looking at the phone in his hand and finally finding some pictures that sort of matched what Jake had said. "This them?" he asked, showing the screen to the ten foot blue guy. "What next?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, that's them. You pick the one you want to go to, so that's either Calderville or Acoste since there's nobody down at the farm-place yet that I know of," Jake explained, pointing at the relevant photos for each place, before gesturing at the floor in front of the rings, "and then you gotta stand in that circle over there on the ground, and the ring'll do its stuff. Go on, check it out. Nothing happens to you unless you walk through, so don't worry about that."

Kennex managed to drag his attention back from the size of Jake's fingers and looked at the pictures he'd pointed out, then the ring and the circle on the floor in front of it. He'd been about to walk over to the circle when Jake said the bit about things happening.

"Huh? Nothing happens unless I walk through it? What's gonna happen if I do?" Suddenly Banshee was looking a whole lot less technicolour.

	"You wind up in the place where the picture is, that's all," Jake replied with a shrug. He gave a slightly sheepish smile after that. "I don't like it, it makes my tail feel all kinds of freaky, but everyone else seems to be cool with it, so I reckon it's probably just me." (Reply to this) (Parent)
