Roaming, restless [After Dungeon Keeper]

[morganknight]

Morgan was restless.

When restless, he tended to roam the ship, checking on things he knew of, or seeking out places he didn't out of curiosity. Today was a little of both. After the pitched battle in Hydroponics, he felt a particular obligation towards one plant in particular: the apple tree he'd helped Applejack grow from a seed. For all that he'd done his best to contain Hydroponic in the fight, he hadn't been able to do anything specific to protect that plant.

Done there, he headed back down in the City, off to one particular place that had caught his interest when he had heard about it: an 'air temple'. Not on the map, not listed in the directory, or he'd have wandered over just to take a look a long time ago. Now that he'd heard about it, well...

Time to investigate.

[OOC: Just say where you find him; it can be pretty much anywhere, since his trip covers a lot of ground across the ship.]

She shook her head. "Nope, I'm pretty tough. Name's Janet. Also known as Wasp from The Avengers."

The little lady flew in front of him and extended an arm for a greeting.

[morganknight]

"Well, nice to meet you!" he said with a playful smile and a cautious shake of the hand. "Morgan Knight, Akashic Brother, but I don't have a cool nickname or anything."

"Akashic Brother? Never heard of that, what is it?" Janet flew around him curiously, looking for any peculiar signs of power.

"I'm known as Wasp due to my size and my stingers." She carefully aimed her finger towards a dead leaf and took a shot. The leaf broke apart upon impact.

[morganknight]

Well... he had a nifty sword. Otherwise he looked to be your average incredibly built guy.

And one eyebrow went up at the blast. He was assuming it had a lot more power than just leaf-shredding. "Well, that's pretty apt. Remind me not to get on your bad side, not that I would want to anyway," he said, winking. "I'm a martial artist, basically."

"Well, it's a stinger... It's meant to sting and annoy people." Jan chuckled at the last part of her sentence when she recalled her encounter with one of the ladies during her podpop.

"Martial artist eh? So practice gong fu, wing chun and the works?"

[morganknight]

"Aikido and aikijujutsu, primarily, though I have some knowledge of a pretty wide variety of styles. I'm guessing you're from an Earth?" How many Earths there actually were, he had no idea, but he knew there were a lot.

"The States, if you want to be very specific." Janet replied and crossed her legs in mid-air while her wings buzzed behind her.

[morganknight]

This left Morgan with the entirely unexpected dilemma of if it was at all proper to check out the legs of a flying size-shifter. Which was not at all a terrible dilemma to have, he had to admit. "Oh, me too, originally! Way back when."

"That's awesome! I live in New York City, what about you?" Jan then saw that he was still standing and she flew over to a rock bench.

"I think it would be better to sit down while we chat." She then grew back to her original human size since it would be a little difficult to maintain a conversation looking down.

[morganknight]

"Delighted to," he said with a smile as he joined her on the bench. Interesting to watch her change like that. She just seemed so fluidly used to shifting. Morgan could appreciate that. "I technically lived in Pittsburgh, though actually I'd been living off-world for a few years."

"Off world? In a space ship? Cool! I've been off-world before too," Jan replied and remembered Tony Stark's ship, the technology, the new Asgardian armor and a small smile graced her face.

[morganknight]

"Another world entirely, actually. And the means we used to get there were more mystical than technologicial. It was... a nexus world. A place where it was possible to reach countless worlds, through portals or just plain bad luck, or be drawn from those worlds in turn." But it had been home, for all its quirks and oddities, and he missed it.
