((Anyone who wants to be in on the Mel kidnapping plot, here's the place to come!))

Triv looks around at those who've come, eyes sharp. "So. We have a problem. I'm hoping that between us, we can create a solution."

Triv hasn't been gone long, but it's long enough to have set her fuming. Bad enough to have been dragged away from dinner, but it's even worse when it's a false alarm. The staff at her base hadn't even known the alert had been sounded, much less had a reason to call her ( Read more... )

Alec's sitting by the portal flicking stones into it. Triv's said that he's not allowed through it by himself, but he's still found it fascinating. Occasionally he'll take a picture of the portal and the ripples, trying to see if he can see where it stone ends up. Even if he can't, the pictures are rather nice ( Read more... )

Mel and Gibbs arrive on the island. They're a distance away from the complex, which is how Mel wanted it. She bites her bottom lip, and then says "Triv should be here right now. We can just wait if she isn't, though." Triv meeting Gibbs is one thing she wants to do. The other thing... she felt it should be done face to face.

Alec lay in the library looking through one of the books. The words didn't mean anything to him, so he only looked at the pictures. Photographs amazed him. They looked so life like. More so than any painting that he had seen before. He would run his fingers across the pictures, trying to figure out how they were made ( Read more... )

The air is warm and smells of salt and plants. There are numerous cats around, all in various stages of life, color, size, and gender. The sun is shining, and there are clouds in the air, giant and fluffy ( Read more... )

Triv has just come back to the island with... something. It's a rather large something, in a big and oddly ridged soft-sided plastic box. It doesn't appear to be terribly heavy for its size (a good thing, as one of the things she doesn't tell people about her particular variety of dimensional travel is that she can't bring anything with her ( Read more... )

Mel's cleaning her swords- they probably don't need it, but she's bored, and feeling a bit twitchy. She looks a bit thoughtful, but she's still paying attention to what she's doing. She's not stupid enough not to pay attention when cleaning a sharp weapon.

He's gone from the compound for several days. Five days to be exact. During that time he went to the far side of the island to contemplate matters, about what Triv had said, about what he knew, what he wanted, who he was. He would have prayed to his gods if he remembered how. But he didn't, so instead he listened to the elements. Losing himself in ( Read more... )

Alec? He's hiding. He's hiding very well. He's found himself a nice little hiding spot and is hiding all curled up. Unfortunately he's also projecting fear, confusion and general upsetness.

He knows that he did something wrong and that he's going to get punished for it. But he doesn't want to get punished and is afraid.

So, he's hiding.
