Jail Break! (Action/Video)

[So, with Ziva gone, Fluffy and Abby have been in Wash's care. But, that doesn't mean the behave. They break out at least once a day to try to find Ziva. ~~Why no, she totally didn't teach them how to pick locks.~~ This time is slightly different though.

They brought Ziva's comm with them.

It's currently in Fluffy's possession, and he's in flight somewhere in Traverse Town. Every once in a while, Abby can be seen on the ground in the lens of the comm. They're talking back and forth to each other, mostly Where haven't we looked? and Hey! Over there!.

Then, there's the sound of gunfire off in the distance. Their person had a gun! And it sounded kind of like that sometimes. So, immediate direction change and off they go that way. The comm is tossed down to Abby and she catches it as he lands on her head, taking a break from flying for a moment.

The camera shows a glimpse of someone, in armor...some not-so-blue shade of blue, but not enough to show who it may be. Just...it's not who they were looking for.]

Sounds challenging. I'll look forward to it then.

[She always did have a unique perspective when it came to 'challenging'.

Having your own personal space was never a bad thing. Own quarters, same builing - not all that different from a barracks situation, save the beds were probably more comfy.]

At least it isn't difficult to find. The numbered districts seem easy to travel between, too.

[Same old Carolina it seems. North's grateful for that.]

They are, once you get the layout. I think York and Delta made a map of the area, so you should ask them. Also shows where the nightmares hang out.

[ The more things change... ]

Really? That does sound useful. I'll ask Delta about that later.

[After York had gotten some sleep, at least. And she'd gotten some rest. ...This was totally resting, by the way.]

He'll probably supply it happily.

Probably.

[ Her weight shifts, head canting to one side. ]

Given this is, supposedly, a dream, I'm still not sure how he and Theta are here. They don't sleep.

I'm not really sure, but I'm glad Theta's here.

[But thinking back to somewhat recent events.]

It might have something to do with the fact that they're implanted directly into us. We share thoughts, so it would make sense to share dreams as well.

[ Her mouth quirks upwards at the corners, not that North can see it. ]

I'd imagine he's been pretty useful with fighting the Nightmares.

That does make sense. So I'm guessing he sees and remembers what you dream here, too?

[ Dreaming within a dream. Did she really just think that. Carolina's hand lifts to her helmet, as though to forestall the headache this entire setup is threatening to brew for her. ]

He really is.

[Theta sort of brightens at this, and then dims at Carolina's next comment.]

Yeah, he does.

[He doesn't really want to get into how much trouble that caused.]

Don't try to think about it too much. This whole place is weird so it's better to just go with it.

[ She doesn't miss how Theta brightens, then dims considerably. Asking doesn't happen. It's none of her business, not yet, at least. (Not any more, part of her whispers.)

There's a frank stare, then a genuine, if slightly hoarse chuckle. ]

Weird is putting it mildly.

I should probably head back to the hotel before something else decides to greet me.

[ or that obnoxious night mare comes back. ]

It's a bit difficult to outrun the nightmares sometimes. I can come with you if you don't mind. I was heading back there anyway.

[ 'Outrun'? Her head simply tilts up at him at that one.

She stiffens at his request, before common sense reasserts itself, and Carolina nods agreement. This is North, after all. ]

I don't mind. I'm still getting familiar with the layout of this place.

[There are times when you just don't want to fight nightmares okay?]

Right, then let's get out of this back street and onto the main one. It's a bit easier to figure things out from there.

[ Wuss. ]

All right. Lead the way.

Do these streets lead anywhere else?

[ They certainly seem pretty extensive, and the town seemed rather large when she got a partial view from one of the roof tops. ]

Mostly to the other districts. There's about four of them.

You'd think there'd be more people, given the size of the place.

No kidding. I've heard from people who've been here before in the waking world, that there are, but I guess they didn't get dragged here like the rest of us.

Not exactly a good sign, then.

[ The question "Why Us?" definitely springs to mind. ]

I know the hotel is in the 2nd district. Anything significant in one of the others?

Not really. The other districts are pretty similar, with a lot of empty shops and stuff. They're fun to explore though.

The fifth district has a greenhouse, but a giant monkey also appeared there so I don't know what it's status is.

[That was said entirely with a straight face. Not that one can tell]

[ The thought of exploring the city at its emptiest is briefly entertained. The thought of exploration for fun...Well, that hasn't happened in a very long time.

Her head definitely snaps to him with a very audible "..." at the mention of a giant monkey, though. Had she not met a flying unicorn princess, as well as all of these colourful critters, that might have been less believable. ]

A giant monkey.

[ ..Still questionable, though. ]

I didn't see it, but Wash did apparently. You can ask him.

[He always manages to miss the giant nightmares.]

[ Ask Wash if he'd seen a giant money monster in a greenhouse.

The man had had enough mental issues before disguising himself amongst the sim-soldiers or ending up here, Carolina wasn't sure she needed to add to that. (Or maybe she did. It'd depend on her mood later.) ]

..I'll think about it.

Certainly sounds lively, for an empty town.

It is. The people here are good at making things loud, I've found. Some more than others.

Hmmm. Anyone I should keep an eye out for?

Not that I can think of off the top of my head. I haven't met anyone who didn't seem at least a little bit trustworthy.

[ There's a faint huff of breath, her head shaking slightly.

Oh North. No one is trustworthy, except possibly you. ]

In that case, anyone I should know on sight that's worth knowing?
