Idleness (Open)

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Lately Ben had been kind of restless, and thus had been buzzing around the city. It was way too quiet with everything going on, and as much as he hated being idle, there was really no helping it at times.

He had gotten a RideVendor remote from Philip and had taken out one of the cycles for a spin. A few false starts and he was roaring around the city at a breakneck pace before pulling up to the park. Removing his helmet, he brushed his hair of sweat. "I really like motorcycles," he declared to no one as he got off and began to do a few warm ups.

While training in the sensoriums was always fun, he was often finding himself preferring the city more and more, and he selected an alien from his watch, an old standby favorite.

"CANNONBOLT!" yelled Ben as he began to roll and bounce all over the place.

"Yeah but I go to the sensoriums for dinner. It's easier for me that way. And just force it on them if they forget. It's not too hard to do." said Ben.

Anwei considered the perils of trying to feed a superpowered person who was delirious, or possessed, or just believed they were being poisoned. Or simply, stubbornly refused to eat because they were preoccupied.

Hmm. Horanckk would simply have stunned her unconscious and dragged her to where an IV could be stuck into her. Which didn't' work if you couldn't get a needle through the skin, of course.

"Maybe we could convince Stacy to open a sub-Sensorium in Med Bay, that just transforms food. Hey, she'd have the franchise license! Stacy's Savories, anything you can imagine, free for the thinking."

"That would probably be a good idea," replied Ben, nodding. "There should be something like that at least."

"I get the impression, though, that Stacy doesn't have that much self-control." Her eyelids drooped for an instant, brooding. "Asking her to create a new Sensorium, or even just dispense slop directly down into Med Bay, might be like asking me to grow another head."

Or change shape!

"I wonder sometimes how she feels about all this? Rebuilt by the Daligig, sent to rescue people from the boiling void, charged to watch over us and help us fight this war." She sighed. "I hope that there's some safe place for her, at the end of all this."

"Who knows. Sometimes there`s more mystery on the ship itself than it is here with the rest of us. People are less harder to figure out in my experience than mecha."

"I get the impression that she would be a very complicated person to know, in civilian life."

She smiled. "And think of what a biography she could write!"

"No doubt. I'm sure we'd have something of a long talk with her too," chuckled Ben.
