[ Though smartphones haven't yet been invented in Brianna's time, she's quickly caught on to using this technology, impressed with the usefulness inherent in it. It's an easy way to communicate, keep in touch, and even to get to know other people. Having observed quite the spectrum of messages being exchanged over the network, she decides it might be fun, perhaps, to offer the chance to play a game. ]

I'm Brianna Randall, for those of you I haven't met yet. Many of you still, in fact. Which leads me to the reason for this post.

If anyone's interested in a fun little game of sorts, on the subject of psychology, I'll ask you a few questions and you respond when and if you feel like it. Traditionally, we would do this together at a dinner party, but it can still work like this.

[ She has no idea how many people might actually be interested, but it's always been a nice way to get to know others, at least. ]

Picture whatever comes to mind first when I ask you. Closing your eyes is optional, of course, but adds to the experience. [ She smiles a little, in her element. Things might not have been easy mentally for her when she'd first arrived, but she's settling in as well as anyone could. ]

I want you to imagine that you're in a forest with someone. Picture the person you're with. [ She'll pause here for a count of three seconds before continuing. ] You encounter an animal. Now, I want you to imagine that you reach a clearing.

When you're ready, tell me what you saw and who you were with, and I'll tell you what each answer represents. Symbolically speaking, of course.

My daughter and a platypus.

[The smile gives Claire away. She's serious about the daughter part--not so much the animal. She's just playing around.]

How would you know what it means?

here's one (1) hooded gremlin, staring at the screen with narrowed eyes.

Hello Brianna, I'm Peter Quill.

[ There's a blond man with what looks like a tan colored weasel clinging to his shoulders. ]

The game sounds fun, I think I'll give it a try.

[ Of course, when he actually does follow her instructions, his smile smile shifts into a sadder expression. He really didn't think this through. ]

Gamora, my girlfriend. And the animal is a raccoon.

[Brianna. Brianna Randall. Claire's daughter. And Jamie's. Lord John is momentarily dumbstruck at the sight of her. Oh, but she does look so very much like her father. And here it is that he had spoken to her, entirely oblivious of that fact. Shaking his head, he offers her his best attempt at a response.

And of course, there is only one person that he sees when he shuts his eyes. One man. He should feel guilty, that it is not his wife, or his son. But it's been the same, ever since he's laid eyes upon him. It will probably be the same until he draws his dying breath.]


I can see a man by the name of James Fraser. [He offers her a gentle twist of a smile.] Perhaps the two of you are acquainted.

[ Chizuru is so fascinated by this, and it's obvious from the curious look on her face as she answers with a video feed of her own. She can at least understand that the person you imagine would mean something, sure, since it'd say something about your relationship with them, maybe..

But.. the animal you see? Does it have to do with this mysterious psychology thing? ]


If it's a clearing, then.. a deer, probably? Does that really have some sort of meaning?

I'm Ye Zun.

[ The camera is focused on a traditional dressed Chinese man with long silver hair that he has gathered into a bun that's held in place by a craved bit of bone. He raises a cup at the camera and the quick smile he gives her is a bit on the charming side. ]

My brother and a spirit beast.

I don't know how much you'll be able to glean from such answers, but I've got nothing better to do at the moment.

[Ivar's got intense, ice-blue eyes that tend to grip the viewer. His sclera, strangely enough, are a faint blue tinge as well, a byproduct of his brittle bone syndrome.]

My father and a bjorn.

[He means bear, the word coming out thicker in the Norse accent.]

[ What the hell, it's not like there's anything else going on. And this could be, if nothing else, at least mildly amusing.

It doesn't take him really long to picture everything, either.
]

Okay. I'll bite. I'm with my best friend and ex-life partner, and the animal is a rabbit. A talking rabbit, if we're getting technical.

[ Oh, he'll play! He does as he's told and then opens his eyes. ]

I was wi' yer mam, and the animal was a bear.

[ Wonder what that means? He can't wait to find out. ]

El - that's my girlfriend - and... well, uh, I actually thought of a monster first. [ From his world. ] Does that count or does it have to be an animal?

You're just stating the facts that you know.

there's a long pause while he very clearly weighs whether or not his skepticism outweighs his intrigue.

then, a bit grudgingly:


My friend and an owl.

Well.. Good fortune would be nice. I hope my imagination is right, then.

[ Chizuru smiles as she says it. Because dear god, the person she was thinking of and herself could really use some of that when she gets home. ]

What kind of animal would you imagine? Or does it not work for you, since you already know the meaning?

[He cannot help but raise an eyebrow slightly at that phrasing.]

You are told? Surely you have met the man by now...?

[A jest. Seeing as how he is her father. Even with the circumstances being as they had -- and John not even knowing the full of it -- they can't have skirted around each other all this time without at least coming face to face. Surely!

[ He listens and smiles at the explanation. There's a reason why he chose a raccoon, it has nothing to do with keeping secrets, but her theory is interesting. ]

Hmm...hiding uh? [ He doesn't sound offended, in fact, he gives the idea some thought. ] The raccoon I know is a bit of a liar but he's also terrible at it at the same time. As for her...We've already seen each other at our worst, so I don't think I would need to hide anything from Gamora.

What animal would you choose?
