Jade was pretty sure that hydroponics was her favorite spot on the ship. There were weird animals, but... in a way, it reminded her of her island! Kinda, at least. She loved all of the plants she saw. At the moment, she was taking a break from wandering through the area and sitting on the grass, taking in the sights and sounds of the animals around her. It seemed like it might be a good place to sleep, too-- the grass was comfortable, just like the grass back home had been, and she was more than happy to relax on the grass. If she closed her eyes, she could imagine that she was back on the island and that she'd have a chance to talk to her friends through pesterchum like always.

She was pretty tired-- she had spent a lot of time searching the ship in an attempt to find Dave or the trolls in case they hadn't seen her message, but... no luck. It made her a little sad! And that's why she had gone to hydroponics. It gave her a chance to relax for a little while, and because of how tired she was, she fell asleep pretty quickly.

She hadn't meant to - there was still a lot to explore - but she couldn't help it. And when she had fallen asleep, she hadn't realized that she had fallen asleep on what was a commonly walked path through the area.

"Pi?" said the rodent that was poking at her prone form. "Pika?""

[strifle.livejournal.com]

Jade's response to Pikachu's poking was simple: she just rolled over in her sleep. The grass was comfortable, and she wasn't completely ready to get up just yet! Even as she rolled over, though, she did say something.

"Bec... can I please have five more minutes...? I'm really comfortable!"

[godchu.livejournal.com]

"Pikaa!" Pikachu sparked, sending a few jolts of electricity through her.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

That was something Jade hadn't been expecting-- while she had been fast asleep a moment before, she was wide awake now. Jade was a bit frazzled from the sudden shock, and she looked around wildly, trying to find where the shock had come from. It didn't take her long before she spotted the small, yellow pokemon next to her. Since Pikachu was the only thing around that wasn't a plant or one of the weird animals and he was right next to her, she had to ask him something.

"... Did you do that??"

Okay, that was new. Mercenaries had to be able to sleep under any manner of circumstances, but this girl had apparently fallen asleep mid-walk. Soren frowned down at her. "If you continue to sleep here, someone will eventually step on you."

[strifle.livejournal.com]

The sound of Soren talking did manage to get some kind of response out of Jade-- although all she did was roll over in her sleep and curl up into a little ball. The ground was really comfortable! And just like where she used to sleep on her island.

[facepunching.livejournal.com]

How irritating. He nudged at her with his foot.

"Huh?" Gabe said as he neared the girl lying on the path, raising an eyebrow. It seemed off to him that someone would just fall asleep midwalk.

"Hey, kid. Wake up."

[strifle.livejournal.com]

It took her a minute or so after Gabe spoke, but she did open her eyes slowly. There was a second of her rubbing them before she looked up, and-- sudden guy??

"Hello?"

[docsarcasm.livejournal.com]

He tilted his head to the side a bit. She seemed fine from what he could see.

Giving Jade a half smile, he raised his hand in greeting. "Hey there." Gabe said. "So, do you always do this?" He added, giving a small chuckle.

"Gah!" Jinx tripped over Jade having not noticed her and pitched forward crashing on top of the girl.

"Ow." She grumbled having landed on her chin.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

Even Jade, who was an expert at sleeping, couldn't stay asleep through that. It took a second for her thoughts to stop being so disorganized, but when she realized what had happened? The first thing she was doing was worrying about whoever this was.

"Are you okay??"

[badluckbabe.livejournal.com]

Jinx grunted and rolled off the girl flopping onto her back, "Peachy. What's the big idea laying in the middle of the path?" Her defense considering she'd been so wrapped up in her thoughts she hadn't even noticed...nor was there a real path.

[alastirra.livejournal.com]

Alastirra was used to traversing the paths of Hydroponics. What she wasn't really used to was...someone asleep in the middle of the path.

The very tall Draenei hunkered down, nudging the girl on the shoulder.

"I know this is very calming but, in the middle of a path is probably not the best place to sleep? Perhaps to one side. And there is always the tree by my garden! There is shade there!"

Of course there were also a couple of people who knew where her garden was, but the shaman doubted that any of them would wake up a sleeping human child if the girl chose to sleep there.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

It took a second for Jade to react - she had been out like a light, so the nudge was unexpected. She opened her eyes slowly, and after they took a second to focus, she sat up pretty damn fast upon seeing Alastirra. She was... something she hadn't seen before! And seeing her right upon waking up was a surprise.

She seemed nice, at least! So she wasn't scared of her or anything like that.

"I'm sorry, was I in your way? I didn't mean to be!"

[alastirra.livejournal.com]

"Oh no. I was coming back. Though if you want to see my garden I could always go back there." Alastirra grinned, hefting the basket she held under one arm as she straightened.

"I did not startle you too badly, I hope? I keep forgetting that with the recent pod openings that there are probably those who have never seen a Draenei before!"

Punchy's exploring, which means that for once, he isn't snooping around where the superheroes are or playing with the omnicomm. He's found a forest-ish place - hella boring, yo - and is about to leave when he sees someone lying on the ground.

Dead, or sleeping?

Dead would be a more interesting turn of events, for sure.

"Don't worry, sister, I know CPR!" he yells, turning Jade over. Because that is clearly the appropriate response to the situation.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

The sudden change of position and the loud noises were easily enough to get Jade to snap her eyes wide open. What was even going on?? She looked a bit frazzled because of the sudden awakening, and was only able to answer with this:

"Wait-- I don't really need CPR!"

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

"You don't?" Aww, he actually look disappointed. And not because that means he won't get a chance to put his lips on a girl's. It's because someone just sleeping is actually not as interesting as making a heroic rescue.

"You just decided to take a dirtnap in the green?"

Russel was busily continuing his cataloging project, rather annoyed that there were so many people in here today. He didn't understand why people were allowed to just wander around in here. But it wasn't as if Command or the Council actually cared, so he didn't bother saying anything.

But then, he finally saw something that took the fucking cake when he rounded a bend. There was a girl just dozing in the middle of the path. Really? He raised a dirt caked shoe and nudged her with it. "Hey! Wake up! You're in the middle of the damn road!"

[strifle.livejournal.com]

Jade was comfortable and she didn't want to wake up-- and normally, she probably wouldn't! But then she was getting nudged by a shoe and someone was being really rude. She really disliked waking up and being put in an instant bad mood because of someone else.

"I didn't mean to fall asleep there!"

[chainedbyred.livejournal.com]

"Unless you're narcoleptic, I would assume you did this on purpose. Now clear out, you're in my way," he said, moving past her to a plant she'd been lying near. He sighed heavily. "Thanks. You crushed it." He showed her some bent branches of a small plant at the edge of the path.

Aldrea was trotting down the path at a respectable pace when she found herself bearing down on a human in perhaps the most expectedly natural position she'd yet to see any of them in: curled up on the ground. It took care of the peculiar balancing problem, if it didn't do much for the illusion of human grace.

From what she could tell as she approached, the human appeared to be resting. Its eyes were closed, for one, and breathing didn't sound impacted. Too steady, so likely not in pain. Of course, it could have knocked itself out, but she wasn't well equipped to carry things even if Esplin had been inclined at all to care.

Since he wasn't, he bunched up her muscles, preparing to leap over Jade and keep on his trot through Hydroponics.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

Bec wasn't going to stand for anyone - especially Aldrea - leaping over Jade. What if something had happened? The big white (eyeless) dog wasn't about to let anyone - even if it was only a slight chance - hurt Jade.

The big white dog sat in front her of her and barked.

[lessafool.livejournal.com]

Aldrea looked down at the dog, frowning with her eyes.

< Hello, > she said, fully intending to go around the both of them, tail held at ready should the animal decide to get ideas. < Really this is very unnecessary. If you don't mind, I'd like to be going through. >
