Who: Amy Pond
What: Arrival
Where: Forest, around HQ
When: 01/10
Warnings: None

It wasn't the first time that Amy had opened her eyes to see trees and find herself lay on the ground. So if anyone saw her then they might wonder why she didn't scramble to her feet. Amy lay there, listening and trying to work out exactly what was around her. The trees and other plant life were easy. It was just that Amy didn't know why she was waking up in the dirt.

There was no party. At least Amy didn't remember a party. She remembered the library and books. Then heading out to her car and checking her backpack for everything. Not that she had any doubt it was in there. Going away for break...

So it was no big surprise that when she was found and everything explained to her she was still sat on the ground. It was familiar. Made the fox feel better.

After a while where she was she did finally make a move. She wasn't sure where she was going. Amy couldn't even claim to be following her nose anywhere particular.

[ooc: feel free to find her wandering about since she has no clue where to go exactly or where anything is]

Elena liked the forest. It was weird to have something so real underground and inside but it was a small piece of something familiar which she clung to. She was wearing a pair of sweats, a tank top and had her long blond hair tied up in a pony tail behind her head. She preferred to run like this but she knew after a few more days the wolf would want to run as well.

As she moves through her regularly path through the forest she pauses, catching the scent of something, someone she didn't know. She turns and heads towards it slowly, her footfalls silent as she makes her approach. What she finds is a girl though the scent suggests something more. She moves into the clearing and while moving silently she makes her presence known, no point in trying to surprise the girl. Her brows furrow slightly as she speaks.

"I don't think I've seen you around." Or smelled her but Elena knew that you didn't say that to someone when you first meet them. "I'm Elena. Are you new?"

Amy froze.

The sound of the voice with the new scent. There was something else about it that made Amy stop as she did. Not as people like as she sounded.

Finally Amy nodded. Too long being still was just as bad as running was a worrying thought that came to mind suddenly. "Yeah, I... have no idea where I am." She thought about giving any number of the names she'd got used to handing out randomly, any one of them would do. "I'm Amy." Because it was just as good as one of them. It didn't stand out. She had to hand it to her mother there. It was the most normal thing about her.

Elena held up her palms at the girl. "That was how I showed up too but it wasn't in this room." That thought made Elena frown though she continued anyway.

"You don't have to be alarmed. At least while down here we're safe." Ish but then Elena can't explain what's been happening around HQ. Those things that had attacked Gambit or what was happening the two days before that. It all didn't make sense.

"I'm from Toronto but in a different world or that's what I've been told."

Amy picked on the word room. This wasn't a room, it was a forest wasn't it? She was outside. It certainly smelled like it was a forest. "Room? This is outside though? We're in a forest. There's trees and..."

There was a whole lot more questions and Amy's head was spinning. Safe. There were hunters still and other monsters. If they were down there then what was up? "Down here? What's not safe up there?" She weakly pointed directly up.

Other worlds. Nope. That could come later.

Elena shook her head and then waved for Amy to follow. "It'd be easier if I show you. I promise it's safe." She wasn't an alpha, she didn't really have a pack and yet Elena was determined to lend a hand where she could. She wanted to be human but that didn't mean she could simply ignore what was going on around her.

She didn't want to see anyone else get hurt.

It was only natural Bigby would find his way to the forest. With his intense sense of smell, he could smell it everywhere and so, like always, he followed his nose to its source, not needing the map and finding it annoying that it only existed on a phone, regardless. The wolf didn't find it strange that the smells of all the people living in close quarters disappeared when the door shut behind him, figuring it was some sort of magic that protected this sanctuary.

And a sanctuary it certainly was. There was clean air, the enveloping and comforting scents of the forest, and prey. The wolf in him delighted in the idea, but he reminded himself he had to keep up appearances. That didn't mean he couldn't follow the scent of the fox he picked up, you know, just to get a look.

What he found was a surprise. It was a girl, but she was most definitely the source of the scent he's detected. He raised an eyebrow, deciding to step from the shadows rather than continue to stalk her.

"Nice night for it, huh?"

Xavin was out walking when she spotted the other and smiled. She was not always familiar with Earth ways, but she tried to greet every being with respect. And with some curiosity, as well. The Skrull raised a hand and waved.

"Hello!"
