It is starting to dawn on Adia that this might not be the Nexus she remembers.

It is the first time in months that she has been able to leave New Caprica without risking awareness from either the Cylons or her fellow humans. She has never told anyone about the strange, wonderful place she stumbled upon, nor does she plan to. It won't be much help to the colonists, and it'd be a dangerous weapon in the hands of the Cylons.

But in the short time she has been sitting on a stone bench, reading an old paperback, she hasn't seen a single familiar face. And come to think of it, none of the landmarks look the same to her, either. True, the Nexus is always changing, but shouldn't she recognize at least some of it?

Curious, and a little nervous, she gets up and brushes off her dusty but serviceable coat, then walks over to a convenient Nexus computer terminal. That hasn't changed, at least.

How do you go about finding someone that you used to know? When is it not worth the risk to try and find them?

There is no giant blinking neon sign in her line of sight instructing her to ask a question, but she hopes someone answers anyway.

((ooc: Hey everybody, Adia is an OC from Battlestar Galactica, her timeline currently in the beginning of Season Three. I used to RP her at dear_multiverse on Livejournal, hence all the "not the same Nexus" references. She's a human with no special powers. Have fun!))

His smile only widens.

You really are a clever woman.

That doesn't surprise me.

There it is, the reality check. Though she can't see him, he nods in understanding.

A good plan. When here I tend to wander, mostly in the Wilds and the Plaza, but you will find me in the old styled bars around here. There is a particularly nice one around the corner from the Plaza's main centre. It does hearty meals and good drinks.

Adia is glad this conversation is in text, because Reynard's compliment has her rather flustered for a moment. She's never been good at accepting compliments, except perhaps in the context of her work. More sane than clever, but thanks.

I'm usually in the Plaza, because of the computer terminals and the free coffee. I used to visit the park, too. She hasn't visited the bars or cafes, because she assumes those cost money, and the currency on her home world is worthless. If you let me know when you are at the bar, I can try to stop by.

That actually gets a chuckle from him.

An even greater achievement.

I will do that.

The challenge is setting his curiosity against his patience and having the latter win out. I promise I will pick only beautiful days to suggest you visit.

Reynard will likely not have to be patient for too long. Adia isn't going to risk losing access to this Nexus as well as the one she remembers. Every day here is beautiful compared to New Caprica. I look forward to meeting you in person, Reynard.

As do I, Adia. Stay safe, my dear.

Thanks. You, too.

Adia closes her chat windows and pushes away from the monitor. She takes a good long look around before retrieving her PINpoint and pulling up her home coordinates. Maybe she won't see her old friends again, but at least she's made a new one. (She hopes, anyway.)

A press of the button, and she's gone.

((I just want you to know that I think Reynard is a great character! I love spirits/personifications of seasons and holidays and how you play him, plus the PB you chose, really tie things together. And it's great to be RPing again with you!))

((:D I'm so glad to hear that! I'm really impressed he and Adia gelled so well, and it is great to be playing with you again too! I'm already looking forward to their future threads!))
