Claire's upset after her argument with Alex, and although Charles did a good job of calming her down and reassuring her, she's feeling stressed. So she slinks out and takes to the streets, and finds her favorite places to get sweets. Six cookies and something like a hot chocolate later, she's feeling a whole lot more energized and a lot less bitchy.

But when she's waiting for the signal to cross a busy intersection to head toward the Senate chambers that brief moment of contentment ends, as someone very tall bumps into her tiny 5 foot nothing body.

The something like hot chocolate in her hands goes fying to the ground, but she maintains a deathgrip on the box of cookies as she stumbles forward and crashes down to her knees. She opens her mouth to remind whoever it is that they need to watch out for short people, but when she turns her head to do so, she's just stunned into silence.

Honestly?Did it really have to be the guy that just told her she'd never belong to the group

[doomhoops]

As soon as Alex slams into this tiny person, whoever it is, he's full on ready to start rushing out apologies and help them up because, christ, what was he doing waking around like such a dunce anyway.

When he looks down, at first the mess of blond doesn't really clue him in, so he's got his arm halfway extended to offer a hand up and his mouth is already running.

"Shit, sorry, I wasn't--" And theeen she speaks. And shit. It would be just his luck, wouldn't it? It would. He didn't realize karma reached this far into deep space. Awesome.

Well, for the moment he's been frozen with the hand half stretched out to help, sooo he'll leave the hand there and just look very line-faced and awkward and tense about it. But the comment is... out of place. It takes him a second to remember what she's talking about, but the tension in his expression soften a little. He might have even laughed if this wasn't so intensely uncomfortable for him.

"Robots and flying cars. You're two for two."

"Wait until you see the lightsabers." She smirks a little as she shifts the box in her arms to held with one hand, and she takes hold of his hand to hoist herself up to her feet. She dusts off her backside and adjusts her skirt, glancing over at her hot chocolate that's on the ground. Oh well, she can always get more later

[doomhoops]

"Heard about that. Plus something about donut hair." Yeah, Nathan Young. That was a weird and confusing chat. And insulting. He hadn't been sure whether to punch the guy or have him committed

[acemedium]

[Well, here Maya is with space cookies, bought from the local grocery store (on special!). Content with her haul, she's on her way back to the apartment to share the spoils of her hunt with mommy and daddy her caretakers.]

[That is, until she's hit by what seems to be a truck.]

EEEEK!

[Thaaat.. kind of puts a damper on things. And by "puts a damper on things" I mean "her world is pain and she's now on the ground like a small human pancake]

[... The box of cookies still remains firmly in her hand, however]

[doomhoops]

[ OH GOD HE'S KILLED A TODDLER.

So he nearly doesn't even notice running into her, but he pretty much jumps out of his skin at the shriek she lets out. For a moment, he stares, wide eyed, before realizing OOPS. HIS BAD. Any now he's rushing over to help her up. ]

Dammit, sorry, I wasn't- I didn't even see you. Sorry. [ Here's him grabbing an arm and a shoulder and yanking you on up like a rag doll. You are air to him. ]

[acemedium]

[EXCUSE YOU SHE IS NOT A TODDLER]

[In any case, give the girl a minute or so to orient herself and figure out what just happened.]

Oooh, my head and other body parts...

[doomhoops]

[ PRETTY MUCH LOOKS LIKE ONE.

He steps back, giving her some room, but she's looking a little unstable, so not too far back. ]

You, uh, okay? Do you... need anything? [ Like an ambulance? Shit, what'd he do? ]

[causedeath]

Tyler tends to go out on runs at least once a night. He can't help it, the downsides of being a werewolf is having a lot of excess energy and not always knowing what to do with it. This was one of those times.

He usually lost himself in runs like this. Made it easy not to focus on anything. Like how he had taken a job with that jackass, Alec. Or that his girlfriend still had a better gig them him (which really bothered him more than he should) or the fact that the full moon would be coming up soon again.

At least this time he probably wouldn't have to worry about getting stuck in his wolf form. God he hoped that was something to do with the whole power loss that went on and not with how his transformations are going to work here.

Eventually though...he accidentally ran into Alex. Whoops. He's a good 5'9" wall of football playing boy with superhuman strength what with being a werewolf and all. So that's fun. Clearly, this impact is going to be great for both of them.

[doomhoops]

Alex could have sworn he hadn't seen a wall placed in the middle of the sidewalk, but there was something solid he bounced right off of when he slammed into it, bumping into a random light-blue, glowy eyed alien behind him, the first to which he turned to to try to sputter an apology out. Which apparently didn't translate well as he was pretty sure he was just flipped the Coruscant version of the bird. He let out a sigh, half annoyed, half exasperated at the confusion of the whole place and turned back to said wall.

Oh. Person. Not wall. That made more sense at least. But didn't make the awkwardness of the situation clear up much. One hand went to be stuffed in a pocket while the other scratched awkwardly at the back of his head.

"Uh, sorry, man. Didn't see you." Because he was too busy trying to catch rain with his face, apparently. This city was a hazard. "You okay?"

[causedeath]

The first instinct was to yell at the other guy for walking into him. Or to push him. Anger management still wasn't one of Tyler's strongest points, but he was doing okay so far, because he didn't end up doing either one of those things.

"Just be more careful next time, man," He muttered, brushing off his shirt now. Never mind that he had been running and not paying great attention himself. Whatever. Details.

"I'll be fine."

[doomhoops]

Considering there wasn't yelling involved and he'd been too busy watching something in the sky to notice Tyler's distraction before slamming into him, Alex's own anger management issues weren't triggered. It was a happy(ish) day for everyone involved. "Yeah, my bad. New here."

He took a moment to look at the guy, taking in some details. Human (looking, at least), American accent, not dressed in something that looks like a bathroom? Maybe another Outworlder? "You another one of the, uh, kidnapped people?"

Sadly, he wasn't too familiar with the politically correct term.

[It had been a few days since Midvalley had been 'kidnapped' and found himself on an entirely new world. It had been a bit... overwhelming, to say the least, the first time he stepped outside. And though he was still tense and wary in what felt like highly chaotic surroundings compared to the 'cities' he'd known, he was slowly adapting. If this was to be his life now, he had to learn the ropes, and he wasn't about to ask anyone to teach him

[doomhoops]

[ Alex had just been watching a yellow tube looking thing shoot through the airspace about thirty to forty feet above him, and though it had the word 'TAXI' plastered on it, he seriously had his doubts. It was at this time his chin and half one side of his body came to learn tall people, Midvalley in specific, don't function well as doors. And aren't exactly the cushiest of things.

He stumbled a couple steps as well, a hand going to where his chin knocked into Midvalley's shoulder, leaving a sore spot, and he glanced up at the man. He was about to shoot out some fumbled apology when 'Watch where you're going' comes up, and Alex suddenly feels much less sympathetic. ]

So long as you don't stand around in the middle of the sidewalk like a roadblock.

[xistentialblues]

[He might have kept right on walking, if Alex hadn't responded. Not to mention this person actually looked human and spoke the same language, two things he'd found didn't always come in pairs. He tilted his head slightly, measuring him up.]

An apology would have sufficed. Or do you always try to provoke strangers?

[doomhoops]

[ He crosses his arms over his chest, and relaxes his weight on one leg, looking casual and aloof as he gives an unimpressed snort. ]

Only the ones who can't tell an accident when they see one.
