[open] ☥ the world is just illusion trying to change you

[mulder-trustno1.livejournal.com]

Mulder was pretty certain that no matter how long he stayed here, there was going to be no getting acclimated to the fact that he was living out his wildest fantasies, even when those fantasies were sobered by the conditions that had led to his being on this ship in the first place.  If there was one thing that defined him, it was his will to believe in the impossible, and so he'd hardened his resolve already towards accepting that Scully, along with others from his world, were encased in one of those pods below.  Still alive.  Once he'd accepted that, it'd been easier to functionally react to his situation.  

And his first reaction had been to explore every inch of the ship open to him.  Of course, that ended up being more than he could have imagined.  The ship was huge and trying to wrap his head around the dimensions of the thing carrying them proved mind-boggling.  It hit him most fully when he made his way down to Level 4 to explore the rumored 'City', and found himself blinking up into the 'sun' set there in a sky that looked distinctly like the one back on Earth.  His jaw dropped for a moment, but he reasoned, it couldn't be real.  

And if the Daligig were able to manufacture technological illusions on that scale, he had no doubt that there were other things on this ship that weren't what they appeared to be.


[ooc;  So very open, for any kind of interaction.  Mulder can be wherever in the City you want, as he's exploring, so just specify in the subject line or tag, please!  Open to multiple threads, or even threads with multiple muses - jack away.  AIM > thegreatmuldini  if you want to chat about it.]

Sumeragi laughed a little. "Quite true. I wonder why some clothes are here - but not full wardrobes." She tugged at her uniform jacket by way of example.

"Probably a minor mystery of this place, in the grand scope of things." He gestured behind him. "You done a lot of exploring the city?"

"A fair bit. The layout's a bit of a mess, though." Even Tokyo had been easier to navigate, it felt like.

"And no one's tried to map it out? Don't tell me the buildings get up and walk around at night."

"I suspect people probably have - but nobody bothered to offer me a map, and exploring is kind of fun," she replied with a grin.

"So you do this kind of thing often?" he asked, with an impressed smirk.

Sumeragi laughed. "Explore strange mish-mash cities on giant space vessels? No. Get lost in cities I don't know and don't speak the language of? Sometimes."

"Well, if you're looking for a partner in crime anytime, let me know." He was definitely always up for exploration of mish-mash space cities.

"Ironic words coming from a fed - but I'll keep that in mind."

"Ex-Fed, remember?" he corrected, eyes twinkling.
