Let's Try This Again [ Action + Locked Voice ]

[ Locked to Arya, Spock, and Emil - 90% Unhackable ]

Okay, so, seems Luceti doesn't want us hanging out at a camp site, but screw that, we're going this weekend. I still have all the stuff, so we're pretty much set. But, uh, Spock you're going to have to get yourself some other clothes. I still only have the ones we picked for your bitty self...

[ Locked to Spock, 100% Unhackable ]

Hey, I want to talk to you about something. Let me know when you got time, we can go down to Buffy's or something, get a drink, and talk there.

[ All of that done, it was time to go and run some errands and fill up his day - which suddenly seemed a bit harder than it should.

He could at least start by really getting back into his workout. It had kind of gone wonky the last few weeks. Don't even get him started on the last weekend. He could still hear that odd speech pattern in his head and it made him wince. How? How had anyone put up with that? And he had been posing, hadn't he? He was sure he had, because he remembered looking at himself in the mirror... and no. Nope. Not going there. He was going to the battle dome now and he was going to make use of it. He spent the morning working out against simulations and doing resistance training, the release of exercise endorphines sending a nice, happy tingle through him.

Eventually, he had to stop though and get some real errands done - which basically meant the grocery story because somehow that had become his job when it came to feeding two grown adults, a teenage girl, and a wolf the size of a pony. Seriously, you try telling that thing what it can and cannot eat. If it wants to eat, it eats. Which meant grocery shopping and hauling it all back.

But even with doing that, it left an afternoon partially open, and he wanted to do something new. And what might that be? Well... why not go to the barn? He knew they had one and had horses (it made sense since they had ponies, right?), and while he had never really been much of an animal person, it might not be a bad idea to become acquainted with another potential forms of transportation after all. That in mind, he headed that way, with a pocket full of carrots. Horses like carrots, right? ]

[Nymeria accepts the invitation, although she accepts it on her own terms. She pads closer, gives his hand a shove with her snout, and will stand still for just the slightest of pets before giving a halfhearted snap of the jaws and stepping away.

Arya just grins in spite of herself.]


Most of them. But you should make sure to hold it flat against your palm if you feed them. Otherwise they might think your fingers are more carrots.

That's just something I can't begin to wrap my head around. I mean, Equestrian ponies aren't just people's pets-- we've got a whole civilization under our belts.

That'd be a whole lot tougher if we couldn't move our front legs around.

I dunno, if we're going to be out there all weekend, the bananas might end up going bad too. They don't tend to keep very long. What about oranges? Those should last okay.

And we have to bring chocolate and marshmallows and graham crackers to make s'mores. You can't go camping without those.

[Or at least, that's what he's been told.]

Okay! I'll get all of the food we'll need for the weekend. I figure if I bring a lot of vegetables, we can still make stew even if we don't end up catching any fish.

Have the other people going with us said anything about what kinds of food they do and don't like, or should I just guess?

[Arya and Nymeria both can forgive him for jumping. The wolf mainly because she meant for it to be scary.

Arya nods thoughtfully.]


Apples would work for that too, but carrots should help. Just don't let them push you around for a treat. A lot of horses will push you around if they think you have more to give them.

[Spock regards his Captain for a moment.... the nods. Reaching into his messenger bag, he takes out his PADD and lays it on the table. Tapping a few buttons, a small scanner pops out and scans the surface of the tabletop... effectively turning the entire surface into a touchscreen computer.

A few more taps on the table showed a projected image of the barrier and the surrounding map of Luceti.
Spock indicated the map...]


Many tests that I had conducted came out inconclusive. It is made of a material that we have not yet encountered, yet resembles many we have dealt with.

I can come. I've been riding horses almost my whole life.

[Nymeria whuffs at the arched eyebrow, and Arya shakes her head and ruffles the wolf's fur.]

And horses really don't like direwolves anyway. She'll stay outside. [Nymeria gives her a dirty look, but she ignores it.]
wannabolt: (chillin')

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-16 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
True. And I guess I shouldn't think too hard on it. Just 'cause they're on different wavelengths doesn't mean I've gotta stop being me.

[Heh.]

Besides, I'm sure they wouldn't complain if you did wanna take one for a ride. They might even be a little restless.

[Nymeria seems to take that as a compliment, giving her tail another lazy wag. Arya grins.]

That just means you aren't afraid of direwolves, that's all. There's nothing stupid about that.
wannabolt: (20% cooler than you)

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-05-18 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you ask me, the only way to really learn something is to jump right in and wing it.

[She emphasizes this with a flap of her wings. Yup.]

Negative Captain... It is more organic in nature.

[Spock hesitated....]

I had attempted to mind meld with it....
