4th step [Action]

[myowndrumbeat]

[Ever seen an Italian hat salesmen walking around with a pile of hats on his head? Well, there seems to be something to the same effect.. but with pies. Pumpkin pies, to be specific. River is walking carefully and deliberately with about 5 pies in each hand and 3 on her head, attached to each pie is a note with someones name on it in eeever so

[miamijustice]

[...Whoa, that's really impressive. H catches sight of this and he can't help but well, look oddly at it. It's an impressive feat]

[myowndrumbeat]

[Walks past him without even stopping... and then pauses, walks backwards until she's standing next to him and sets all the pies down neatly in stacks, taking a note out of her pocket and writing hastily, yet somehow perfectly, folding the note up and slipping it into en envelope, she sticks it on a pie and hands it to him]

...[All silently]

[miamijustice]

[...Well. That's intriguing. For now he's going to open up that envelope there so that he can see what's on it]

[myowndrumbeat]

[She'll be turning and walking off, going about her business

but inside the envelope is a long detailed letter, all written in Chinese (which can be understood after staring at it for a bit due to the language barrier being removed), describing each and every important event in the Lieutenants life]

[miamijustice]

[...Well shit that's a long little memo there given how much has happened in his life. But still - that's... that's unsettling. He sees things like when his mom died, when Julia left him, when Speedle died... when Ray died... Marisol, and - Well this is just suspicious]

Excuse me-

[Going after her, of course]

[myowndrumbeat]

[Turns to look at him, she's down to about 3 pies at this point, one on each hand and one on her head]

[She looks at him blankly, waiting for whatever it his he wants]

[miamijustice]

[...This is awkward so-] Excuse me, but do I know you?

[myowndrumbeat]

[Have a creepy innocent smile]

Oh you know me when you think to know me.. which is to say you know me.

[miamijustice]

[...Smile right back-] Well then I am afraid... you have my at a disadvantage. Can you tell me your name?

[myowndrumbeat]

River

[miamijustice]

River... that's a nice name. [...A pause, and then, nicely-]

[myowndrumbeat]

Yes, Lieutenant Horatio Caine... [looks up at him with a smirk]

Missing Miami?

[miamijustice]

[And he... to his credit, he doesn't looked phased. His mind goes at about a million miles and hour however, thinking of it three-dimensionally. Given this level of information... well, there's a few options right now, particularly in light of the changes here-]

I am. [...] And what about you, River?

[myowndrumbeat]

...What about River?

[miamijustice]

Where are you from?

[myowndrumbeat]

Core planet, 1028543-ATRL... Osiris.

[Blinks] I'm not from around here..
