Shooting them doesn't seem to do nearly as much as I had hoped.

.....

The more advanced medical facilities are at the tactical simulation building, the Battle Dome, yes?

...

And perhaps someone could tell me what day it is as well?

[No credit for trying to keep the peace, and prevent a hero/'villain' fight from leveling the place, huh? Ah well.

Derek shifts a little in his bed. Living village life through this journal was a pain in the ass, which could be taken literally ,right now since he couldn't really get up and stretch, and hadn't been able to in several days. Being laid up in bed was not the hunter's idea of any sort of fun.]

If I knew the area a little better, I'd start asking you for landmarks. Unfortunately, recon has been a little bit difficult lately. You have someone else who can come find you?

[From a New Feather that doesn't really know the whole balance yet? Yeah, pretty much.]

I believe someone is on their way now, yes. Are you new then?

New as in just came in with this set of people, yeah. Not-so-new as in I've been here before, according to some folks. Sounds like I took several months off and dumped my memory of this place somewhere.

[Wait, so they can just erase the memories? Peggy gives pause to that train of thought, wondering if she'll go home to just forgetting she'd ever seen Steve again. It isn't a pleasant idea.]

...Perhaps for the best. It isn't always the most pleasant place to be and perhaps those memories weren't such that you needed them..

...If we're in a war zone, and surrounded by enemies, I kinda think I'd need them. Would save time in trying to play catch up instead, if nothing else.

Not exactly a fan of people messing around in my head, either.

{Derek mentally pulls himself back, realizing he probably sounds more than just a little irritated, and she likely doesn't deserve to be the target for that.]

Sorry. Been a bit edgy since I got here. Derek Bliss. Nice to meet you.

Peggy Carter.

You needn't apologise. Frustration is to be expected, especially with what you have been through.

Been through worse. This place just seems like a giant contradiction on itself. Or a real messed up dream I just can't shake.

...So, you've been in the military.

It could be a bit of worse.

...And yes. That is rather astute of you. You have a record yourself, do you?

Been through army ranger training, yeah. No official records on me, but the unit I was assigned to needed my skills. Had to make sure I could keep up.

Interesting. What skills would those be?

[His voice is so deadpan that he might have been a robot.]

Vampire hunting.

[She would have snapped at him for messing with her, but on a private channel and when he's been so helpful up to now? It doesn't make sense that he'd start lying now. And the more incredible and unbelievable the story, the more likely it is actually true. After a short pause, she responds.]

...I take it that is a problem where you are from then?

[If she had, it wouldn't be any different than many encounters from his own world; despite the danger, the higher ups in his own world tended to try and keep the 'problem' quiet. At least she wasn't calling him a liar to his face.

Yet.]

Unfortunately, yeah. Judging from your reaction, I'd guess you probably don't even have them where you're from. Different Earth and all that.

No, fortunately. The worst we've had is alien technology and men aspiring to become gods. Rather tame compared to vampires, I suppose.

I've heard of the alternate realities here - odd to finally run into it.

Honestly, the alien technology and god hungry men would be pretty wild to me. At least I know how to deal with vampires.

[There's a quiet chuckle from Derek's end.]

Yeah, this place seems to be one big smorgasbord of weird stuff. Still get surprised when I talk to some folks. Pretty surreal, all things told.

Surreal is one way to say it. I never thought I would see the day when I could listen to a pony talk.

[That right there? That's dead silence for a few minutes.]

They...have talking ponies here.

[No, that's not a question, and it's said as calmly as anything else, but the calm disbelief is probably tangible.]

Talking rainbow ponies.

[Seriously, she thought she was dead when she saw that entry on the network. What. Even. She has no idea either, Derek. None whatsoever.]

I...

...Wow.

Anything this place doesn't have?

A reliable source of ammunition.

[Which she says in an exasperated tone of voice.]

Otherwise it seems time, place or logic has no hold here.

Lovely. Do we even have a bullet press in town?

[Not that he can't function without a gun, but there were times when a well-placed shot was far more valuable than any other method of taking someone down.]

At the moment, no. Once I've healed, however, I'll be taking missions to earn one.

Let me know if I can help, both in getting it and in making bullets. I've used them before.

First, you must heal. Then we can discuss missions, Mr. Bliss.

...I meant with using the bullet press. But yeah, the fighting, too.

As for healing, trust me, I already have two ladies that'll bust me but good if I don't behave myself until I'm better.

[Noooot that that will keep him from doing what he wants anyway given sufficient motivation, but at least he's trying to be respectful enough of his caretakers to not push it too far. Just enough to risk a little strangulation from an irritated French woman, is all.]
