Second Floor Common Room - Saturday Morning

Alara had woken up in an unfamiliar location but it didn’t take her long to figure that she should scout it out and see what resources she could find and hopefully be able to take some back with her. Even though this place didn’t seem to have any Kaylon’s she was still keeping an eye out in case she had to retreat at a moment’s notice.

[Alara’s is now an AU version of herself where she is part of the resistance against the Kaylon after they took over the galaxy in the Season 2 finale ‘The Road Not Taken’. Open!]

Astrid felt a little lost about where exactly she was. Had Niki slipped her some bad acid and she wound up in a complicated series of events that landed her in a new facility? Well, wherever it was, it was better than the Mac, clearly, and there was gorgeous art on her walls, some of it even looked like something she would do, so she loved that, spent some time rifling through her things, some of them familiar, some of them oddly not. Then, exploring. And when she reached the common room, she hesitated a moment, then remembered to walk in like she owned the place. Like she wouldn't take shit from anyone, least of all the girl already there, although she was giving her a subtle once-over. Then to the cupboards, to find some food.

"You guys got rules here?" she finally asked, whipping around to face the other girl with a box of cereal in her hand. "About food?"

No locks on the cupboards, at least, was a good sign.

"Hey," said Astrid, who figured that was all she needed as a green light and went searching for a bowl, "I'm not going to complain."

Astrid was always a little bit wary about interacting with other people too much in a facility ever since the Mac, but it was hard not to be a littl ecurious about what this other girl was talking about.

"Invasion?" she asked, after pouring some of cereal into the bowl she found.

Oh. Great. This other girl was a total space case, in more than one way. Astrid looked at her for a moment before she moved over to the fridge.

"Yeah," she said, "I must have missed that. But I've been stuck in down in Frogtown these days, so..."

She looked in to find a carton of milk, opened it to sniff it to make sure it wasn't on the way to spoiling, and poured a small amount over her cereal, then put it back, before she changed her mind.

"Elysian Valley?" Astrid tried, mixing her cereal into the milk before taking a bite. "Central L.A.? That's where they had me last...."

Before she....somehow....would up here instead.

Astrid's brows lifted. What kind of place had she wound up in this time?

"...yeah," she said, trying not to sound like it was too obvious, but not doing a very good job. "It's....definitely on Earth."

She almost wanted to ask where else it would have been, but her experiences had told her that it was usually better not to go poking at people if you didn't have to.
