eswareinmal | RD6, Orb

[Eliot fumbles with the orb, apparently not realizing that it's already recording.]

So, magic. Really? After living my whole life believing that magic, and fairy tales, and Peter Pan are just stories, I manage to come across the one real spell in my... Well, my world. Unless I'm really dreaming.

[He pinched himself. And winced.]

Nope. Not dreaming.

[He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair.]

And if that weren't enough, I feel like I belong here. Which is just plain weird, man. I don't do this inexplicable stuff. It normally makes my skin crawl. And I don't normally like being abruptly taken from my team and wherever I'm currently calling home. But this time, it feels right. I mean, I miss my team. I wish they were here. But I'm not fighting to get home like I should be. And what's more, that doesn't bother me as much as it should.

[He sighs and looks around the room, his gaze resting lovingly on his new sword. He grins.]

Course, the sword might help with that. I haven't seen one this nice since Edinburgh.

Hawk? [But Hawk has seen plenty of swords. And isn't new. And has never been to Edinburgh.]

[Faolan is so confused.]

[He blinks. Has he seen this kid before? And for that matter, has he ever used Hawk as an alias?]

Uh, no, my name's Eliot.

[Faolan considers a moment.] Look like Hawk.

[He tilts his head and considers some more.] Sound a little like Hawk.

[WHY ARE YOU NOT HAWK, YOU STRANGE NOT-HAWK PERSON??????]

[Eliot frowns slightly. So there's someone in this new world that looks a bit like him, apparently.]

Who is Hawk?

Hawk is DADDY.

[See? That'll show you!]

[Actually, he's not sure how much that will show you, but still. Grr!]

[Ok, this is just... weird.]

So, basically, you're saying I look like your dad.

[He finds himself smiling. It might be weird. Who cares. This is pretty cool, now that he thinks about it.]

Never had kids of my own. But I love doing stuff with my nephew.

[[Well this is... odd.

..no, fuck that, this is beyond odd. This is downright creepy. And possibly a trap. ]]

Who the fuck are you?

[[The 'And why the fuck do you have my face' didn't seem like it needed to be said.]]

[Eliot stares for a moment. What the HELL?!]

I'm Eliot.

[He scowls. Why the hell does this guy look and sound like him? He didn't have a twin. He knew he didn't.]

Who the hell are you?

Hawk.

[[Keeps glaring a moment more before running an agitated hand through his hair.]] The fuck is this stupid place doing now... [[half muttered]]

[He shrugs. Like he would know.]

No idea. It can't... clone people, can it?

[Ok, he's been spending way to much time with Hardison if actually asking that.]

Because I don't have a twin.

Neither do I. [[Pardon him, he needs coffee for this. The view from the orb follows him as he heads over to a positively steampunk looking contraption that's extracting every last drop of caffeinated goodness from the coffee beans he's manged to acquire.]]

And nothing here's competent enough to clone anything.

[He crosses his arms.]

Then why the hell do you look like me?

I don't think anyone really likes being taken from there team, or friends. But, we seem to have been brought here for a reason involving the thorns of this world.

Ah, yes, the thorns. [A crease forms on Eliot's forehead.]. Is it just me or do they seem... almost sentient? At least the way they were described to me. Otherwise we could just develop a good, focused pesticide.

From what I gathered I'm unable to even talk to them. Usually plants, like us have a voice, but... nothing.

You... can talk to plants? Is that normal around here or some kind of magical gift?

I can. it's something that's connected to my power at home.

Are you not use to magic where you are from?

[He shakes his head firmly.]

Not at all. Where I come from, magic does not exist, at least not that anyone knows of. It's just for stories to tell our kids.

Ohhh, so there are worlds where it doesn't exist at all. Fascinating.

You're not part of Faolan's family too, are you?

[Eliot shakes his head.]

Not that I know of. I only have one nephew and he's back home.

Huh. You look an awful lot like his dad.

So the kid told me. [He shakes his head, an amused and somewhat bewildered look on his face.]. I have know idea why.

Doppelgangers, maybe?
