medical bay | escape from alcatraz

[ If Scott had to choose a way in which he'd wake up on another planet, completely cut off from his home, his family, his pack, then being licked by an eager dog is most definitely his welcome of choice. He's always been fond of animals, and as frazzled as he is (largely convinced this is some strange nemeton-induced hallucination), the presence of a dog by his side, barking and pawing at him does wonders to calm his nerves.

At least until he notices the glowing eyes in the rest of the room, his heart promptly freezing in his chest. Because the thing is, that while Scott loves all animals, the feeling is most definitely not mutual.

It's only thanks to his werewolf senses that he manages to react in time, hearing the first warning growl and how many eyes is that even, before he's scrambling to his feet and getting the hell out of dodge.

He bolts through the door, barrelling into the hallway with no remorse. ]

Sorry! Sorry, sorry!!

kitchen | got a booty like a cadillac

Oh, sorry.

[ It's all gone so wrong.

There's probably a map on the device that URSULA had given him, and he's young enough to be able to figure out these newfangled gadgets, but he's still here, slumming around blindly like a plebian. Which means that he's made about five wrong turns into the kitchen while carrying all his stuff. It hadn't been so bad until the mattress had decided to inflate himself the moment he'd stepping into the fork and knife loaded space.

And now he's desperately trying to manoeuvre around the kitchen without his mattress destroying everything that stands in its path. (Another pair of mugs go clattering toward the ground.) ]

Oh—I'm really. [ He winces. ] Sorry, I didn't mean to trap you against the wall.

[ Or maybe he did; teenagers are kind of the worst. ]

[ please feel free to leave a blank comment and i'll write you a custom prompt! or vice versa, just hit me with anything and i'll roll with it. i'm always down to plot something out as well. c: ]

[ She gets a small, appreciative smile for her hospitality before he's distracted by her warning. Nightmares? It gets Scott to frown a little, initially confused about why someone would consider nightmares a problem. Unless they're like Elm Street level nightmares.

The question earns his interest. ]

National City? Can't say I have. But I've never really travelled outside of California.

[ Though California itself is huge, and there are plenty of places that he's unfamiliar with.

But also - ]

There a lot of people not from Earth here?

[ He's never met an alien before. ]

[highflights]

[ She nods. A different Earth then. ]

Sure! I'm an alien.

[ A beat. ]

I really look like this, no secret extra limbs or anything.

[snuggies]

[ He basically just gawks at her. ]

You're- you're an alien? But you're not even green and your fingertips don't glow?

[highflights]

Nope.

[ The p pops. ]

There are green one, and a few that glow, just not me. Also, where I'm from, you're the alien.

[snuggies]

Well. [ He draws back, looking sheepish and realizing that in his surprise he might've come off a little offensive. ] Yeah, that's true.

[ His gaze shifts toward the plate, and he grabs a cookie to take a bite. ]

But you live on Earth? Are you used to planet hopping?

[highflights]

[ He needs the cookies more than she does, she pushes the plate over to him fully. ]

When I was very young. I've been on Earth for almost two decades.

[snuggies]

That’s a long time. [ He’s starting to feel more hungry as he eats, more and more cookies disappearing off the plate, but he’s at least half-distracted by the revelation of her being an alien. ] Why did you choose to come to Earth?

[highflights]

My parents sent me, to look after my cousin.

[ She doesn't want to go into "my planet exploded" when he's disoriented and needs to adjust to the environment here. ]

[snuggies]

Oh.

[ That's a pretty standard reason, and not as adventurous as he was expecting. He thought it might be something like space exploration and the search for extraterrestrials.

But then, it's nice to hear something that doesn't involve blood and death, so he just grins, body language relaxing somewhat. ]

How'd you like it? Did you have to like, watch lots of human TV to figure out how to blend in?

[ Like her life is some kind of sitcom, but he's wearing a cheeky smile nonetheless. ]

[highflights]

[ Blood and death successfully avoided. ]

Oh, you have no idea. My foster sister made me marathon Disney movies in one weekend.

[snuggies]

[ He smiles a little, knowing that he shouldn't really trust someone that he's just met but.

He's still guarded, but not closed off. ]

Disney's pretty basic, there's no way you'd fit in without it. [ He gives her a look of understanding. ] Have you seen Star Wars?

[highflights]

Yeah, and all the Treks. The next thing on the list was everything with aliens in it. For a planet that hasn't travelled into space, you guys can be pretty imaginative.

[ She smiles faintly. ]

I liked E.T. best.

[snuggies]

You've got me beat. My best friend is always saying he'll disown me if I don't watch Star Wars. I've seen E.T. though.

[ He looks down at the plate of cookies, asking one more question before helping himself to another. ]

What's space actually like?

[highflights]

Uhm —

[ wow space how do you describe space?? ]

— really big? Everything is a lot further apart then you'd think.

[snuggies]

[ ... Is there a sequel to that explanation?? ]

Oh. [ It slips out, before Scott scrambles to offer a more enthusiastic response. ] Oh! Yeah. And things are huge. Like twenty times the sun.

[highflights]

[ Kara grimaces a little. ]

Sorry I don't have anything cooler. I was asleep for the journey.

[snuggies]

[ His hands jump up immediately to wave off her concern. ]

No! It's okay, it was a vague question. [ He slumps back into something relaxed then. ] I really... I mean, I appreciate you talking to me. I feel a little less freaked out now, I guess.

[highflights]

Glad to hear that.

Rooms are that way [ she gestures to the left. ] there's plenty to do here, if that helps a little.
