What: Godbox malfunctions, interrupted birthday plans, and trigger happy aliens.
Where: Cardassia Prime, in the Cardassian Empire...
Warnings: Cowboy + Rustler + Space Nazis = oh shit...

Retirement, or the like, had suited Jim, for the six months he had managed to wrangle of it for himself and his love. The world was still revolving, the agency was thriving, and Annie even seemed to be in a good mood, visiting occasionally as she did. And Rachel and Jim were having their own fun.

He'd set out today to purchase a few things from the local town, for a surprise not!birthday party for Rachel. After the flood that had damaged the local towns, a new town, larger and a little more sophisticated, was rising. Mos Eisley, they called it, and it was a small thing, but still larger than any town the area had ever seen the likes of. WHAT had settled several odd people and aliens in the area, so the town seemed to have a feel of oddness to it, even for Jim's likes. Halfway through the trip, he had the odd urge to call Rachel, and trusting those instincts, raised his squawk box to do so.

And promptly found himself elsewhere. A very alien elsewhere. "Oh Shit..." Clio reared and settled, and went on alert from the tone of his voice, eyes and ears swiveling every which way as they both looked out over a very alien landscape. A strange sky greeted his eyes as he raised them. This was definitely not a good day to go shopping after all.

A few moments later, Rachel and Jericho appeared downhill of Jim and Clio. The two had gone off to do some racing sprints north of their land, to keep their skills fresh, perhaps steal the final peaches from their neighbors. Jericho bucked and reared, frightened by the change of land under his hooves. Calming him back down, Rachel righted her hat and looked about. This was not somewhere she been before, what had happened? Was it the squawk box or Cee again? Something moved behind her and she snapped around, gun pointed, and recognized the blond, vexed man.

"James Phantom." She kneed Jericho to turn around and go to Jim, expression theatrically dry. "Now why am I not surprised to find you are the source of this devilry?" Shoulder to shoulder though, it was easier to see her smirk to her husband.

He twisted to look at her and relaxed slightly. She was here. One less worry. Only a world of strangeness now, and they'd done that before. He grinned at her, eyes fond.

"Well, dear, you know how it is. I was a little bored with being safe and all. I guess I just can't stand that whole easy rest thing."

He chuckled, before glancing around, and shaking his head. "Seems as if someone put some weird stuff in the squawk boxes. We're stuck, as far as I can tell."

"I suppose it is high time for us to start saving the world again." She smiled at him, patting Clio's hide affectionately. "It was rather nice practice for later, while it lasted."

She grunted faintly and turned Jericho to face with Clio, looking out into the strange place. It was not Earth. "This is why I prefer horses and trains to that thing. You can get lost, but not misplaced, in a saddle."

	"Oh no, not another of the rock centipedes?" Now she really wished she had packed more gadgets, or at least the bird-cloaks. Her fingers brushed through Jericho's mane, grateful the horses still charmed. "At least send something that we can fight against!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A slowly opening hole rose from the ground, a cavemouth birthed in the pains of the Earth, rocking higher and slowly showing itself. And running right into it was an arrow that had English letters on it. Come this way! Was the message, and Jim stared for a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
