everything's connected

She'd walked just to move.  Down the corridor, away, shivering lightly as she took yet another step, her expression firm and determined.  A twisting corridor here, a straight there.  Her fingertips caught the lip of the doorway.  She moved forward, swayed back.  The door unfurled and Dana Scully's hand found her mouth as she stepped through,

As Scully fell backwards into the corridor, she collided with something else. Something short, furry, and yelping as Scully bowled him over.

Kettch had been cautiously exploring the hallways of Level 5, trying to get his bearings inside the Great Spirit's body. He'd just been coming up to one of the fleshy doors when it had opened suddenly and spilled out a human with bright red fur.

Kettch hadn't had time to dodge before the much larger human had fallen onto him. He flailed and yelped as he fell back under her, his spear skittering off across the floor.

"Waaugh!"

Scully, already suitably freaked out from one encounter, scrambled away in a half roll that resulted in her barking her shoulder up against the nearest wall. She pulled her knees to her chest and stared, wide-eyed.

"I'm..." she began blinking at the small shape that was mostly fur, "...sorry? I just. There was a--" Slow down. "I saw..." An alien pet? Scully frowned. "Something."

"Kvark!" Kettch rolled over with a groan now that the heavy person wasn't squashing him. He struggled to sit up, holding his head. "Tyeht danti? Ouch ouch..."

He looked around for a second before spotting his spear several feet away, and the human sitting against the wall. He blinked his dark eyes at her then huffed and pointed one furry, three-fingered hand at her. "Ugh... be careful, hooman. Not everyone is as giant as you are."

[ooc: Kvark - oh no! Tyeht danti? - what happened?]

[wearshercross]

Scully peered at the creature for a long, long moment and determined one singular fact. He was an Ewok. As in Star Wars, George Lucas, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Ewok. She blinked a few more times.

"Sorry," was all she could get out and then a few moments later, she said, "I didn't mean to...fall out that door."

"You alright there mam?" The Middleman said, holding out a hand to help Schully up.

[wearshercross]

"I'm fine," she said, but accepted his help mostly for the fact that her knees were wobbly. The chill and shock of running into that, of all creatures, was still written across her face even as she denied it. No one could be fine with this, she thought. No one in their right mind, at least.

"No offense meant, but it doesn't seem like it. Anything in particular, or was it just the general alien ship freakout?" The Middleman asked.

[wearshercross]

"There's a species of reptilian, a feather serpent, that I don't think I was quite ready to see again," Scully admitted, shrugging a little. "It was startling."
