[Not sure what kinda game this girl is playing, Dean takes a minute to do a clean sweep of the area and make sure no one else is listening or on their six.]

What makes you such an expert?

[She was stuck here like the rest of them, but if she had some information to give Dean wasn't gonna pass up the opportunity.]

[mulletrock]

[This guy might be on the weird side and have technology that not even Sam'd know what to do with, but what he was saying made a little sense. Dean sat quietly and tried to digest.]

So far it's coming up goose egg. You gotta an ideas 'cause I don't think a proxy is gonna cut it either.

[lightcatcher]

[He dislikes the voice in his head, the invasion of his mind that it represents. If it can get there, what else might this being be able to do?]

You claim that you had no purpose past that. [Also he perfected the ability to shut everything out exactly when there were a lot of kids around. So her reply fits well enough into the pattern for him to not follow up with the details. But she's registered as a child right now, which... does not relax him, this being is still potentially dangerous, but shifts things lightly.]

[aiwendil]

[Radagast frowns thoughtfully at that. Why just the two of them? It seems an odd choice for the powers that be which had brought them here. As it was, he had never been terribly involved in the matters of the outside world, he did not expect that to change here.]

Most strange indeed. [The wizard said with more of a distressed look. At least if Gandalf was here, well, it seemed there was nothing to be done for it.] What do you intend to do now, hm?

[firith]

[ In a couple of long strides he seats himself on the same bench, putting them at a better height to talk. ]

Is it? I found the fairies that led me thither to be most polite.

[ His own locket is slid out of his robes, clicking it open to show Bilbo how to do so. ]

[pterosaur]

[He might be surprised. ...so might she, Janine hasn't advanced beyond transmitting maps and diagrams yet.]

:Pretty much. And, I'm bored.: [Still braced for takeoff, Janine makes a small, rippling gesture with her head and powerful neck that somewhat recalls a shrug.] :Novelty always wears off.:

[aiwendil]

[Feasts such as these with such crowds really was not this wizard's forte. He did have the chance to pick up some food and sniff it before tossing it aside. Strange stuff, very strange indeed!

Being inside is making him twitch so the brown wizard ventures outside, rummaging in his sleeves for the mushrooms he had stashed there earlier.] Oh where are they, ah no, I just had them!

[And that's when he spots Bilbo, peering at him for a moment before speaking, jabbing his staff in the hobbit's direction. What did Gandalf call him again? Ah yes, a hobbit!] Friend of Gandalf's, aren't you?

[lightcatcher]

[An odd choice indeed, in any regard. But not the only choice of whom to abduct or invite that is strange and odd. He doubts that there is an order to it.]

Continue this journey and then return to the court.

[And that is the most detailed description that Radagast will get.]

[aiwendil]

[And the wizard suspects this is the best answer he'll be able to get out of Fëanor. All he can do is keep an eye on things unless measures force him to intervene.]

This is a different world, you would do well to remember that. [He's almost serious now, the implication clear. He doesn't want to have to interfere but if he's the only one of the Istari here, it's all up to him.]

[lightcatcher]

Set yourself to a task, then. Keeping your hands busy, or laying your head down in different places, helps with boredom.

[He feels no patience with such complaints.]

[aiwendil]

[All he sees in passing is the figure in the white robe and immediately freezes, lowering the mushroom he had been just about to eat.

Could it be?

A little short for the white wizard but still, it wouldn't be the first time Saruman had turned up in unexpected places. Radagast springs into action then, hurrying after the strange figure because if it is the leader of their order, well, it wouldn't do to ignore his presence.]

Saruman! An unexpec- ahhh! [As soon as he sees her face, he stops, peering at her. Not the white wizard, perhaps he shouldn't have tried the wine after all.]

[lightcatcher]

As would you.

It is not the Valar who lord over it, and little shield can they give you here, nor constrain anyone.

[There are limitations, and hierarchies, and while he resents some aspects, there are others that are of too much use to disregard them, and choices that are not possible.]

[spunkyheroine]

[ Anna is amazed by everything the station has to offer, the sights and sounds that surround her, and the amazing, wonderful feeling of not being alone anymore, instead surrounded by countless people. It's thrilling, but she can't fully let go enough to soak in it as much as she'd like to. Because there's something else on her mind. Something she can't let go of or forget.

Fortunately for Anna, she rounds the corner to see 'something else' sitting uncomfortably, peering dubiously at a cup of coffee that's steadily growing cold. Every instinct in Anna's body tells her to rush towards Elsa and she starts to and stops, but then hesitates. Her feet feel rooted to the spot. Mentally, she primes herself for Elsa to turn away from her again. To shut her out. Well, not anymore! Anna won't let that happen again. Not now that she knows.

Still, when she calls out, she's a few feet away from Elsa still and her voice is halting and uncertain. ]

Elsa?

[pterosaur]

[Janine can't roll her eyes. They don't move that much in her head. She inscribes a small circle in the air using the tip of her beak.]

:That's what this is. Was, I guess. A project to tide me over 'till morning. I don't have little hands like yours, it's big things or nothing.:

[actually112]

[Tenzin. Kids. Kids who knew how to make his air scooter.

When he finds out, Aang will marvel at how dense he had to be to not even consider the possibility that they all could be his family, but as a twelve-year-old, the thought of having kids is so remote and far off that it doesn't even occur to him that that's what Tenzin might be. Instead, he just tries to crush the growing hope that there might still be other Air Nomads out there, and that he might not be alone.]

Really? That's no fun. The monks said that fun is an integral part of learning how to airbend. [Beat. Grin.] Weeeeell... actually, only one monk said that. My instructor. Before we airbended pies in the other monks' faces.

[Oh, Gyatso. He misses you.

But yeah, he notices how she tries to steady him, as grateful as he is that she's not bringing it up, he really should get help. With a sheepish smile, he says,] I don't suppose you know how to heal, do you?

[lightcatcher]

Do it somewhere not around an adult.

[He would have said "around me" but she sounds... so oddly child-like, at the same time as her speech is not quite that of a child. But that might also be the odd magic - as they call it - allowing everyone to communicate in the first place.]

[mulletrock]

[Okay, so judging the clothes and the weapon she couldn't have been from anywhere near the 21st century. He'd be sure to ask someone more into what's going on about that later. He has to admire a chick that can control a bow like that, it takes a good amount of strength and precision.]

You're not the only one.

[Definitely not ready to spill the beans on his lifestyle yet but it goes without saying that he's been up against some pretty heavy shit.]

I would, but I don't trust it. These mooks aren't telling us something and until I figure out more about what's going on I'm not gonna eat or drink anything they're shelling out.

[mulletrock]

You're telling me. So far these goons are laying it on pretty thick.

[And people seemed pretty eager to believe them. He didn't get it, and until he knew more about the situation and had something concrete to go off of he wasn't gonna act like he did.]

Hey, if you know the way out feel free to lead the guided tour.

[pterosaur]

:You're all so little that it's hard to tell.:

[...he's quite tall, but she's a very large pterosaur. Not the largest, though. ...I linked that purely because holy shit.]

:Fine, I'll leave you to whatever you're doing.:

[mulletrock]

Save it. Fake licenses are a dime a dozen.

[He had a whole glove compartment full of them back home. Not to mention the center console. It's not like he cared, she could do what she wanted. She wasn't the first kid to smoke, or drink for that matter.]

And I told I'd find you some, you don't have to prove anything.

[aiwendil]

I suppose this world does not change who we always will be.

[Even if the Valar may hold no sway here, Radagast is sure that there are still forces looking after the well being of this realm. At least, so he's hoping.]

[somethingprecious]

[The figure sweeps past him like a shadow, sending a chill down Bilbo's spine as he looks up to watch the stranger with slight curiosity. Upon studying him further (staring is rude, he is aware, but he feels he can excuse himself in the current situation) he recognizes him to be an Elf and a spark of hope lights up in his chest. Having only met those native to these lands it had not yet occurred to Bilbo that he could very well meet and Elf not from Middle-earth.

A surprise for another day, fortunately.

His experience with Elves and how to deal with them was sadly very short. So he musters up no small amount of courage and carefully walks over to the Elf's side, both hands clutched together in front of his chest to keep himself from fidgeting. He offers a small, polite smile and when he speaks he winces at how timid his voice comes out at first.]

Ah- Hello!

[counterbalanced]

Not too long before you did. My siblings are taking stock of the area as we speak.

[Edmund's sharp gaze looks Caspian over.]

I need to ask, what did you last see before you found yourself here? I have a feeling you did not follow us into the door.

[actually112]

This is a wonderful place. It reminds me of home. Well, the parts that aren't burned.

[He keeps stroking the squirrel, because it's a fluffy thing and he's not too proud to say that he likes fluffy things.]

How hard do you have to listen to hear the animals and the trees?

[counterbalanced]

I had a feeling. [So that answers the question. Properly medieval this one, from the looks of it.]

Where are you from?
