Who: Shiro and you
What: Arrival and exploring
Where: Southern Shore, cabins, the forest around them
When: Throughout the month
Warnings:is reusing some of my tdm a warning For the wolf prompt, mentions of blood and imprisonment, PTSD.
1. Awakening | Southern Shores
[Leaves. He wakes up on a pile of leaves, and at first Shiro thinks he's dreaming. The smell of the sea assaults him, too, and he hasn't been to the sea in forever. The Garrison was in the desert, and he spent time in space after that... only to return to more desert. So lying down on the ground, feeling the breeze through his military uniform, brings back memories of his young life in Japan. Of his grandfather, taking him to the beach because the sky is much more clear there, perfect for his new telescope. Or his dog, digging in the sand to bury her ball. Of building sand forts against imaginary aliens.
This definitely isn't home, though. One quick look around tells him as much. Has he been wormholed here by accident? Has he been kidnapped? But a kidnapper wouldn't leave a bag with supplies, now would they? Shiro only takes a superficial look into the bag to check what is before throwing it over his good shoulder. He can see some houses in the distance, so it's time to do some exploring and try to find other people.
He moves slowly, and carefully, always keeping an eye on his surroundings. He doesn't know if there are enemies around, or dangerous wild animals. But sooner or later, Shiro feels hungry, and the stuff in his bag should be saved for emergencies. So sorry, random person who happens to be in the area, for the metal arm that flies past you to grab an apple from a nearby tree, or to catch that little rabbit over there. Shiro is concentrated on the task and doesn't mean to startle.]
2. Cabin area
[Shiro wants answers, and he wants them now. Usually he's a very patient man - the most patient person in the universe, some would even say. But he's also a workaholic, someone that needs to be active all the time. Adding to that the fact he's apparently been kidnapped? Yeah, not a happy camper at the moment. So you can find all over the place:
A. Investigating the cabins. He's leaving no house untouched, no room unseen. Will he find your character in an awkward situation or just chilling? Or maybe a fellow explorer? If that's the case, then he'll mumble-] Sorry. [Before quickly regaining his serious attitude to ask.] Were you brought here as well?
[B. At the shore of the lake, the sleeves and pants of his military uniform rolled up as he tries to fish with his bare hands. Except there's nothing to catch in the first place. Frustration obviously shows on Shiro's face.] I'm not seeing things, am I? Those are fish in the distance. It's almost as if there's an invisible force keeping them away from the shore.
[C. A bit of a wildcard! Shiro will be doing all the things required to survive: hunting, gathering wood, taking water, testing the things found in the cabins, etc. Feel free to find him during any of these activities! He'll be observing the tree carvings as well, mumbling the name of the animal under his breath as he goes from one to the other, in case you wanna chat about them.]
3. Exploring / big bad wolf (mentions of blood and imprisonment, PTSD)
[Something -someone- is watching him. Following. And it's getting on his nerves, making the paranoia that usually haunts his nightmares worse. The first day he can ignore it, but as time passes, he gets more and more jumpy, and the signs he's finding are not helping. Blurry memories of blood on the walls of the room where he was kept try to leave the back of his brain and assault his senses, the smell of death almost pushing him to the edge of a panic attack--
Crack. It's just someone stepping on some twigs, but it's enough to make him snap, and Shiro sends his arm flying to punch the trunk of the tree next to the poor random that has found Shiro like this - aka you. Sorry about that, this (a bit over) six foot beefy man is usually gentler than this.]
Who are you? Are you the one that has been following me?

[He hopes they can see what he's trying to go for here: war is still war, and his answer shouldn't been seen through rose colored lenses. But it's hard to say that without going into the details they're trying to avoid. Lance's family is fine, but it's not fair to say Earth as a whole is.
Now the hugging is done and the real talk has started, Shiro moves to sit on a chair, his elbows (or shall we say, his elbow and a half) resting on his knees as he takes in what his friends have to say about this place. Which is... not much, but it's obviously not their fault. What they say matches what Shiro has observed so far.]
And all of them were kidnapped too, weren't they? No signs of natives. [And that's what confuses Shiro the most. A frown.] We were brought here for a reason, I want to believe, but there's nobody around to actually check on it. So why going through this trouble? I guess they could be watching us through magic methods but--
[Ok yeah, gonna interrupt himself right there to close his eyes and take a deep breath. The idea of someone watching from the shadows by using magical means gives him too many clone-as-babycam vibes.]
no subject
He is glad though, to know that they make it back to Earth alright. Even if with some 'complications'. The thought almost makes him snort: it wouldn't really feel real if there hadn't been any complications at all. It's never like that, to them.
He watches as Shiro moves to sit on a chair, gaze lingering a little too long on his arm. ... It's so weird. Is it really okay? How can he control it? How's it connected to his brain? ... Doesn't it hurt?
He's called back to reality when Shiro speaks again, and he meets his eyes before frowning and crossing his arms over his chest, leaning back against the stairs of the bunk-bed he was standing next to.]
Yeah. [No signs of natives at all.] That's what we've been wondering about, too. [Between a million other things.
The way Shiro stops himself doesn't go unnoticed, and the frown in Keith's face is replaced with worry, watching him close his eyes and take a deep breath.] ... Are you okay? [He is ready to move to him, if need be.] We think they might be monitoring the mirrors... or that there might be cameras hidden around. [Or both.]
no subject
Shiro sitting down prompts him to also sit down on one of the beds, next to where Keith is leaning. ] Yeah, I mean, there's gotta be some kind of point to it... plus bringing our stuff is super weird? I don't know. Whoever's doing this has power over the whole island, I guess-- [ He cuts off, looking at Keith and then back at Shiro. Same question, is he okay? ]
