[Peter sounds bone-freaking-tired, and if you detect a hint of self-loathing in his voice? Well, you win the Kewpie doll and the lifetime supply of turtle wax.]
Dr. Meredith Grey is dead. [A beat to let that sink in.] So unless somebody else is medically trained and hasn't said anything, that leaves the barracks with just the one doctor. If I'm ( Read more... )

New arrival? Okay. Name's Peter Burke, FBI.
The Cliffnotes version is you're now stuck in a magical forest with sadistic fairies and monsters. We're not sure how we got here, or how to get back home. If you can do anything above and beyond the usual definition of weird, you're apparently in good company. [What bitterness? There's no bitter here. Pfft, what are you on. >.>]
Did you find a way to the fort, or are you still in the forest?

Besides, hanging out in a tree to avoid the local monsters afer being kidnapped and stranded in a forest was like a tradition.]
...Well that's just great. Seriously, worst summer vacation ever.
I'm Danny Fenton. I suppose you'd call me a new arrival. Though I'm guessing its bad news if you've been here long enough to think of people like that.
And no? Nothing weird about me. Unless you're talking about the time I got banned for life from handling any fragile objects at school.
There's a fort? Weird. I kind of got lost when all those weird monsters came after us. Very, very lost.

[Peter's innate bullshit detector is going off so hard right now, Danny. Seriously, it says Living Lie Detector on his business card. Or it should. Point is - you has all the skepticism rn.] ...Yeah huh. Pretty sure butterfingers still qualifies under normal. But whatever.
If you're that lost, I can head out and bring you in. [Toggles the device to the map function.] Wouldn't take that long - you're not near as lost as you'd think.

That would be cool, if you have the time. Most every direction looks the same to me from here.

[Peter adjusts his gun, and then he stands and turns, giving Danny a great view of that clockwork sabretooth. Which is perking up because oh boy oh boy, are they getting to go somewhere? Are they going? It is excited if they're actually going somewhere. And it only gets more excited when Peter swings up into the saddle.]
...Yeah, since this bears repeating. Don't freak out when you see the big metal cat.

[Danny surreptitiously looks over what he can see of the cat for any concealed ectoweapons. Because that is obviously the most important question right now.]
....Check.

[Peter grabs the reins as his 'noble steed' makes its way through the barracks gate at an easy lope.]
I'd ask if you're allergic, but with this thing it's more about tetanus shots than cat dander. [There is a growl there that is most definitely affronted beyond all belief. He just rolls his eyes and glares off-screen.] No one asked for your opinion. So can it before I make you into one.
[Then back to Danny:] ...Not you. Obviously.

It's not really Bureau issue. [Aaand Peter's not talking more about that. Nope. SO SUBJECT CHANGE GET.] Who're the Guys in White?

[Crap, has he gone and showed his age again with his pop culture references? IT ONLY ENDED EIGHT YEARS AGO, IT'S ICONIC. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.]
Mulder and Scully. The X-Files? Television show, ran for nine years? 'The truth is out there'?

Okay, from that I'm guessing the alternate realities card is in play. [A beat.] Maybe should have included that in the Cliffnotes.
