The Perk - Saturday Evening

[guardianborn]

This ship clearly was more spacious on the inside than the outside had indicated.

Rose DeWitt Bukater, however, was more disturbed about the fact that the servants had apparently mixed up her luggage with the clothes of someone who couldn't decide if he was a man or a prostitute.  The clothes that were in the closet of her stateroom!  Rose

Caledon Nathan Hockley had been searching for his wayward bride-to-be and was relieved (though annoyed) to find her at the tea shop. "There you are, Rose," he said. "Where have you been? And what are you wearing?"

[guardianborn]

Rose frowned at hi, though - admittedly, she was a little relieved to see someone she recognized. Just if it could have been Jack, that would have been better.

"You don't like it?" she asked, hackles immediately up. "It's the newest fashion."

No. It wasn't.

[demon_cupid]

"As my wife you'll dress in the proper fashion, not the 'latest' fashion," Cal said. "Go back to your room and change."

Come Monday, Drake would be so sad about being such a dick. But for now, he reveled in it.

[guardianborn]

"I'm afraid I can't," Rose told him, her nose finding its way into the air as she glared at him. "It seems my luggage has been misplaced. I shall have to wear this."

...and pissing Cal off was an added benefit.

Chekov had spent the better part of the day trying to work out where he was. He was still at a loss, and was of the opinion that this was either somewhere in the United States or a United States-like planet. He'd sent out a message to Starfleet to come and find him and that was that. Now all he could do was follow protocol, gather information and try to find out what had happened to bring him here.

"Excuse me," the rather short Russian said, approaching the woman. The accent might have been a little hard to follow, but gosh darn it, he was trying so very hard! He wasn't sure if the thing on her head was a hat or if she was part of a species he hadn't met before and it was part of her head. "Do you know where this is?"

[guardianborn]

Rose gave him a little smile. Clearly he was both foreign and lost from steerage, but that wasn't any reason to be rude.

"It's the HMS Titanic, of course," Rose said. "Are you lost?"

[weetinyreese]

He suddenly looked deep in thought. This was a ship? But outside was outside. Unless it was a very big passenger ship. "I am perhaps a little lost," Chekov agreed. "I was on my ship, the Enterprise, but it appears I have been accidentally relocated here. Do you know where I might find the captain?" Captain, of course, was pronounced 'keptin'.

[guardianborn]

"I'm afraid I haven't seen him since he ate at our table the first night," she apologised. "Perhaps one of the other White Star officers might be able to assist you." Not that she'd seen one around recently. "...how were you accidentally relocated?"

[bitten_notshy]

Jack had been wandering town a bit aimlessly, looking for Rose or any sign of the ship. He still wasn't sure he believed he was in 2010.

When he spotted her, his heart stopped and he took a moment to appreciate the image of Rose in the window before rushing in.

"Rose! Rose. We aren't on the ship, Rose. I can't believe I found you."

[guardianborn]

"Jack!" Rose jumped to her feet to rush over to him. And then looked around because while it wasn't proper to be doing such things, it wasn't like she ever remembered that while the things were being done. "I thought I'd lost you! What do you mean we're not on th ship?"

[bitten_notshy]

It was impossible to remember to be proper with Rose. Jack's arms twitched, but he managed not to embrace her there and then.

Though his eyes left little doubt but that he was thinking about it.

"We're not on the ship," Jack repeated as he brushed his hair out of his eyes. "I talked to some people back in the building where I woke up and they said we're in Maryland. And, get this, a hundred years in the future. Rose, I'm not sure if I'm in your dream or you're in my dream but there's no way this makes any sense."

[guardianborn]

And the look in his eyes had her blushing a little and ducking her head before she glanced up to try to show him just how much she wished he had.

"How can we not be on the ship?" Rose asked, a little confused. "I mean, it seems so much bigger than it was last night, and I didn't know even the Titanic had parks and ponds, but it does seem very strange, Jack, if you're telling me we're in the future."

She paused. "...but if this is our dream why does Cal have to be in it?"

After work, Roy stopped by the Perk for delicious, blessed caffeine.

No, he still had no clue anything was amiss today. Spending the day knee-deep in legal briefs would do that to you.

[blondecanary]

It had been a long, weird day. Made weirder by Black Canary's encounters with various brain-damaged or half-insane people.

"Coffee," she told the barista. "Black. With a ton of whipped cream."

[exspeedydotcom]

Roy...knew that voice. He looked up from his enormous mug of coffee and saw, "Canary?!"

[blondecanary]

Dinah whipped around in ready stance, then boggled right back at him. "Roy?"

[loyal_type]

His caravan still hadn't caught up to him and The Wizard could not sit around all day and wait. Therefore, it was with that in mind that he began to explore the town.

Aha! A tea shop, just the thing.

"Oh, goodness you are an exotic establishment aren't you." he observed, looking at the menu.

[guardianborn]

The older man was dressed a little more normally, but possibly he'd lost some of his wits given his apparent conversation with the menu.

She gave him a little nod.

[loyal_type]

The Wizard nodded back, and smiled kindly. "Good evening dear girl."

He finally gave up on all the fancy Italian and French sounding names and set the menu aside.

"I would like some hot cocoa please." he asked the barista. "Extra delicious if you don't mind." That made the girl giggle. She giggled even more when he appeared to pull a silver dollar from her ear for her tip.

[guardianborn]

"Good evening, sir," she replied, her eyes widening a litle at the magic trick but too well-bred to comment on it.
