( ACTION )

She'd been temporally displaced before. Having lived multiple lives before this one, the transition from present to past usually didn't bother her as much as it did others. But this wasn't a past that Dax had experienced by way of having lived it. No, she only glimpsed it — once, when Jadzia fell back in time alongside Benjamin. It hadn't been what she would call a pleasant experience, and recalling it now did her little good. It only served to remind her of the danger she'd been in and how she had to pretend her spots were elaborate tattoos to avoid being discovered as something other than human.

Would she have to do that here? Somehow, she doubted that. If this world was so accustomed to visitors from other worlds and times, having an alien in their midst was likely the least of their worries. Especially if the influx in population meant that they were offering the visitors housing and providing them with the means of sustaining themselves while trapped in this era.

Hopefully it was something that innocent, something that was completely out of their control that they were doing their best to adapt to. Her past experiences and training as both a psychologist and a Starfleet officer, however, told her not to rule out malicious intent just yet. Something was afoot here and it could very well be the opposite of what she was hoping...

Either way, she'd find out once she got to the end of this green line.

How does this— Okay, I've got it.

[ she clears her throat, sitting down on the bed within her dormitory. turns out, there was nothing sinister waiting for her at the end of that green line. just a room with a bed, much like the dorms she lived in at the academy. ]

This is Lieutenant Ezri Dax. If there are any Starfleet Officers present within the city, please respond.

Of course! [ ah, that's why it sounds familiar. ] It's a Terran city. I've been there a few times.

[ in this life and the ones that came before. benjamin sisko remains a constant in dax's lives. ]

Eh? [He smiles like she answered well.] What'd ya think of her?

I think it's one of the loveliest cities Earth has to offer.

[ but she is very biased as sisko's multi-lifetimes bff. ]

[He smiles at her description, nodding.]

She ain' all pretty, chere, but she's home, non? Even when I'm away.

The parts I've seen are. Ever city has it's problems, it's dark sides. But that doesn't mean the brighter parts can't shine.

Ain' dat de truth?

[he smiles again.]

So, what kinda places you like ta see, Lieutenant? Any place special ta you?
