observation deck( stars could tell you a great many things. stars gave you locations, they gave you time. stars told a story.
to river these stars were silent. it wasn't just that they were unfamiliar, a part of space or time that she hadn't visited, but that she can't tell anything about them. her sense for that sort of thing wasn't as refined as the doctor's, a man that could sniff the air and tell you everything around you. river could to an extent but here-- it was strange, an almost repulsive feeling. a fixed point in time?
it didn't stop her lingering, fighting against the feeling to try and find out something. there was always some way of finding out where you were )
the bar( there was one thing that seemed to be certain wherever river went -- bars were a good source of information. people drank, people talked, sometimes they traded information but always there was something to get... or overhear.
she'd taken a seat at the bar, left hand by the drink that she'd gotten, right resting lightly on her legs. she was starting to feel the pain from the break even more now and whilst river was good at putting it off, focusing on something else, it was distracting. working with one hand, trying not to jostle the other was difficult.
but her mask was solid. to anyone that passes she'll ask, with perhaps a hint of flirtation ) So, how long have you been here?
( she'd gotten a lot of good information from clara. now it was time to find out her own )
medical( she'd been putting it off for as long as she could. the pain was bearable (it wasn't but she was very good at lying to herself) and river felt like she had more important things to do -- like escaping. but it was a hindrance. only having the use of one hand was slowing her investigating down which was not going to help anyone.
she'd seen the location of medical when she'd been looking at the map, begrudgingly making her way there.
the lab looked a little impressive, fairly modern for the century that she'd noted though how long ago that century was river didn't have an answer for. though it would be just her luck that the place would appear to be empty. she didn't know which of the equipment would be useful to her or how to use it, though it didn't stop river from looking around just in case something happened to be labelled )

[ the whole cute married thing, not the fact that he'd come out to help them. kovacs would be grateful if any fucking one helped them at this point. ]
What is he, some sort of fucking superhero?
no subject
( an alien and very impossible but he was just a man. he didn't try to be a hero, he never stayed to be thanked, he just did what felt right )
Just one that is very familiar with situations like this.
no subject
[ yeah, he still wasn't going to believe that some man would sail out of nowhere and save their asses. too good to be true. ]
And what happens if you can't make this magical machine? Gonna open the airlock and scream for him?
no subject
( she wasn't needy, gosh )
I've gotten out of stranger situations without him. There's never just one way out.
no subject
[ yes, still. ]
You plan on taking other people with you when you miraculously get everyone out or just yourself?
no subject
My method of travel is usually a little more solitary. ( maybe the odd tag along if she really wished it. vortex manipulators weren't meant for groups ) But if you find me a ship--
( maybe )
no subject
[ he knew something you didn't know! ]
Don't know if they work though. No one's really fired them up yet.
no subject
( river, no, you need to fix your wrist first. you'll do better work if you do )
Whether or not they work isn't the only concern with them.
no subject
[ he even nods oh so seriously at her. ]
Pretty sure you're going to get very far ripping apart the ships. No one's going to be there to stop you. And I certainly won't spread it around.
no subject
( adding to them maybe. could she botch together some form of time travel in it if it wasn't already present? they'd find out )
Taking one maybe.
no subject
[ least that's what he'd heard. ]
Don't think you're gonna get fucking far.
no subject
( where did help but when was also important. this place wasn't the time that she'd been in )
no subject
You have fun, then. If you manage to actually do anything, I'll be shocked.
[ but pleasantly so, at least. ]
no subject
( she is incredibly confident. which will end up falling apart around her but river will never let it bother her )
no subject
[ look how prepared he is. he is so prepared. ]
I look forward to it.
no subject
( the bullshit that hadn't been her plan but probably eventually would have become one. she'll just... fix her wrist later. solid idea )
no subject
[ but he knows she'd come here for a reason and all she'd done was stand there and talk to him. ]
If you're looking for me to try and convince you either way, you're talking to the wrong person.
no subject
(there are very few things that ever come to mind in that respect for river )
no subject
[ he even gives her a quick salute. ]
no subject
( she wouldn't be making anything explode. at least not intentionally )
You can always watch if it makes you feel better. See that I do actually know what I'm doing.
no subject
[ he shakes his head and turns back around, trying to find some decent fucking thing in this med bay that would make his trip worth it. ]
Good fucking luck. I'll either see you in pieces or see you around.
