Possessions Grab AND Meet-up! Let's multi-task!

[cityship]

While the newly pod-released members of the crew happened to mostly miss each other in the Pod Caverns and the clothing chamber, they all happen to congregate in the Weapons and Possessions Lockers at the same time. This cavernous warehouse of a chamber has shelves and shelves and racks of belongings and weapons that go off as far as the eye can see. Everything from massive sidearms to impossibly huge swords, to Hello Kitty lunchboxes.

Their own belongings are here near the front--they've been moved to make finding them more easy, but it will take a bit of hunting.

Either way, they won't be searching alone. Everyone's piling in at the same time.

Well, that answers that question. River relaxes, just a little. Maybe it's still aggressive, but at least it seems she should be able to reason with it. She spares a moment to consider how much that thought sounds like the Doctor, and then shakes it off.

"And where should I go, exactly? You're the one who walked in here." She pauses, just a moment, long enough to let that sink in, and then she asks gently, "Did you just come from out of the pods or stasis chambers or whatever those were?"

She's doing her best not to provoke it, but it's in River's nature to ask questions. It's not exactly something she can let alone, especially with so few answers at the moment.

Unfortunately, One-Leaf-Ear is momentarily caught up in the shock of having what seems to be a perfectly normal human understand her. She backs away, ears flattening. "How can you understand me? No human should be able to."

River blinks at that response, holding up her hands in what, to most humanoids, would be a gesture of "I mean you no harm". She can only hope it holds true for a wolf... or whatever this creature is. Looks like a wolf, but that doesn't mean much.

"I don't know. You're... not speaking English, then?" It sounds like English to her - a version of English far-removed from that of 21st century Earth, but even so...

"Wolf. What else would you expect me to speak?" There's always the Garou tongue, but she doubts the human would know of that, particularly if she thinks One-Leaf-Ear is speaking English.

But she recognizes the gesture, at least. She's spent enough time around homids to know that she can stop showing her teeth for the moment, even if her hackles remain raised. "You are not a normal human if you can understand me. What are you?"

River lowers her hands a little, shrugging. "I honestly hadn't expected you to speak at all. Probably some sort of translation program in effect..." Not the TARDIS - that only works when the TARDIS and the Doctor are actually present - but something similar... "Oh, I'm human. Perfectly... human. You're hardly a normal wolf if you understand English - or does it sound like I'm speaking wolf to you?"

One-Leaf-Ear's ears remain flattened as she stares at River. "'Translation program'?" she repeats, the confusing coming across more from her tone than from her expression.

"It sounded as if you were speaking English." She looks away for a moment, taking in the room uneasily. "This is not right. None of this is right."

River smiles, just a bit, and takes a slight step backwards. "It's really not. Unfortunately, telling that to the person - or ship - who's just kidnapped you rarely works as you hope." River is not always the best at being encouraging.

The wolf's attention goes back to River as she moves. "Ship?" Kidnapping, she understands. Kidnapping cubs is a typical Garou thing, after all. But she's lost on the ship part. "I have seen pictures of ships. They did not look like this."
