She's Alive [Open]

 Anyone wandering into the media library this morning would find a somewhat unfamiliar looking young woman (about eighteen, possibly nineteen) sitting in front of the equipment, head tilted back and eyes closed as she listened to some good, old-fashioned rock and roll. She looks fit, in excellent physical condition and seems cheerful enough. She has one leg folded over the opposite knee, toe tapping as she keeps time with the music. Yeah, she's discovered just how awesome music from twentieth century Earth is and she's enjoying it. 

Give her a minute and she'll probably notice whoever wanders in after her.

Now that's some music that's practically ancient as far as Zouichi's timeline is concerned. There's a young woman listening to it, someone he's never seen before -- but that's not so out-of-place with such a large crew.

He takes a seat on a nearby fleshy chair. "Remembering home?" After all, she looks human; it's entirely possible she's from some version of Earth.

Now that's good stuff. The Doctor pokes his head in as Sweet Home Alabama starts really getting into the chorus, curious because this is the first time he's heard some classic rock on Stacy. Well, classic depending on your point of view and...relative position in time and space and there's loads more specifics, but the point is, it's enough to make him have a look into the Media Library.

It's empty except for a young woman. Human, by the looks of her. He doesn't recall seeing her around. Big ship, though, so it does make sense he hasn't seen every single crew member; new; old; or hasn't yet made up their mind. The Doctor tucks away the Otter Locater he'd pulled out, more to check it's working at all than anything else, and pops inside the Media Library. The Doctor joins her (although he can't resist fiddling with the equipment either -- some people have a case of sticky fingers? He has fiddly hands. Very fiddly hands. It's a curse).

"Interesting choice in music," he says, fiddling with a bit of tubing and glancing over at the girl.

And really, she is a girl. Even if she was eighty in human years, she'd still be a girl to him. It's one of those funny things about the human species's short life spans.

"Sounds familiar!" A voice pipes up over the sound of the music. It's Ter'thelas, poking his head into the Library. He grins, shakes his head. "I prefer more classical stuff myself."

It's a human, true. But they're not all bad. At least they weren't, back in his day.

"But could you turn it down a bit? I'm trying to get some reading done."

Legend of Drunken Master. Awesome. Howard's got it on his media pad and is about to head out of the library when a woman in the library catches his eye. She's got a familiar face and yet, he can't place it. And he really feels like he should.

"Uh, do I know you?" he asks, not bothering to apologize for talking over her music.

"Er. . ."

Wait a moment.

"I don't believe we've met."

[identity profile] seasindorei.livejournal.com 2011-04-24 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

"Karis? Is that you?" His world view has been shattered. What is this he doesn't even. The Sin'dorei steps forward, reaching out to touch a hand to her hair before he can check the movement.

"By the Sunwell. . . ."

"Fangs?" he asks incredulously. "No offense, but did someone open up one hell of a beauty salon around here?"

He sits down across from her - no point is keeping weight any more on his bad foot than necessary - and hands her the media pad. "Legend of Drunken Master. Jackie Chan. Pretty fun movie. And this'd be, what...Aerosmith?"

"But--I thought--!" He touches a hand to his forehead in obvious confusion.

"You were Forsaken last time I saw you."

Scratch that -- something about her seems a little familiar, but as he's never talked to Karis personally, he brushes that aside.

"Sorry, I thought you might be a fellow refugee from Earth." He pauses for a moment to listen to the music she's chosen. He doesn't recognize this song; sadly, only some of them made it to 3005 A.D. without being buried by time, but he certainly recognizes the style. "I come here fairly often, but I don't think we've ever met. Kanoe Zouichi."

He extends a hand; he's not sure whether her world has handshakes, but it seems like a common enough custom aboard the ship.
iselldrugstothecommunity: (Calm and thoughtful for once.)

"Usually, your good looks and charm come with really pointy teeth," he says, tapping his.

Honestly, he's less weirded out by her sudden change in appearance than he is by her better mood. He shrugs back. "You were ragging on me? I didn't notice." Which isn't true, but he never held it against her.

"So if you were in such a bad mood, why the better one now? Besides the new hairdo."

He frowns.

"This isn't right. Something is wrong."

"Zouichi, actually. But Kan is fine, too, I guess." After all, Howard calls him 'Zou' all the time.

His handshake is firm, but it's obviously a gesture he's not entirely used to.

"Did you arrive here during the last pod release?"
iselldrugstothecommunity: (Oh wait hold up.)

"Since..." Suddenly Karis is so much more like Howard's zombie back home than she ever was when she was all corpse-like. It's unnerving. Howard can deal with dead but he doesn't like the unknown.

"Karis, are you alive or dead right now?"
