[rp] naked, shirtless, and katniss

When Logan falls through the door of the ship this time, he is wet and naked (~~though his hair is cut unlike in those gifs~~). It's been a few months since the last time he was here, and he doesn't appreciate being thrown back in mid-bath that he didn't even want to take in the first place.

...it's a long story. Come say hi to the naked, incredibly muscular man on the deck who is beyond tense. He is truly completely and totally naked. Unf.

James Wilder has been here for days at least. The Hunter's mark has taken over, has taken so much from him over time. He got it ten years ago. The mansion is quiet and empty, but his siblings are there and that's all he can ask for. Maybe the ship finally took pity on him, standing around on its deck, searching for something to hunt or kill only to turn up empty handed every time, because he is now in a gym in the ship. He's been here for hours.

Training with various weapons, crossbows, swords, and the like. He's shirtless and sweaty but focused. Need self defense/hunting classes? Come get trained by a really buff dude... who has a hard time being social or 'normal' or having fun so apologies for that, but he is single and... shirtless. That's a thing that can be appreciated given his... abs.

Finally, there's Katniss Everdeen who went to Chicago and then was sent back into a very au version of her own world where both Peeta and Gale are women and it is totally a thing in that world that gender doesn't matter in romance and that two girls can be chosen for the Hunger Games as well as two boys or a boy and a girl, which is what apparently happened to the Katniss that was there before her. She is currently, standing on the deck of a ship with a bow and arrow pointed outward and a confused expression on her face. She has yet to finish it yet (and has been setting the whole arena on fire due to her Rift change, this is a highly AUed version of her world on every single level really).

Nothing is okay.

"My father isn't exactly most fathers." She gives a bit of a shrug. "I think he figured that if I was going to keep going toe-to-toe with a boys club, I should be able to adequately keep up. Not that I mind. Being able to kick ass for myself is not a bad thing."

"Sounds like it, and he taught you well." It doesn't sound like James thinks that is a bad thing either. In fact, it's the exact opposite. "It's a... very good thing especially in these worlds that we live in."

Everyone comes from different worlds here. He knows not all of them are like his own, but even a world without monsters like that, it has its own dangers if humans are there. Sometimes the monsters are the ones inside of themselves after all.

"Oh yeah. Though I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I should have until I landed in Chicago."

Even with the meteor infected and other people around them, she never felt unsafe at home. They were still people in the end, and people could have their asses kicked when they needed to. (It also didn't hurt that there were people like Oliver and the Blur watching her back either.) Landing in Chicago was a rather eye opening experience.

She had a feeling the universe was going to have a few more for her before the day is done.

James lifts an eyebrow when she mentions Chicago and when she mentions landing in it.

He knows about a Chicago that was destroyed by rifts, and rifts are generally the term used to refer to the kind of travel that has you landing somewhere. It's what he has heard at least, and he has heard quite a bit from the people who once lived in the Wilder mansion.

"...was it a Chicago with Rifts?"

She startles a bit, because she was both expecting it and not at the same time. It isn't that she didn't think people from Chicago other than her and Maxwell would be here. She just didn't think there would be people that she didn't recognize.

Not that she knew a lot of people, but close enough.

"Yeah," she says with a nod. "That would be the one."

James winces a bit sympathetically when she startles like that. There's really no way to warn about it, and he isn't going to bring up that that world ends in Rifts in case she is from a different Chicago with rifts.

It's not the way he'd want to inform someone of how the world that they're currently living in could go down.

"I... never lived there myself. Some people from it, they ended up in my world, and I was very close with them."

"Ahhh. Gotcha. I guess with the world ending the way it did, we shouldn't be surprised that a few of us wound up everywhere." She gives a bit of a shrug. It's not that she was trying to hide where she was from - she was just surprised when people seemed to know what she was talking about without having been there.

"Hopefully it was the good people and not the psychopaths."

"I'm... sorry about the world ending. That must have been--" James shakes his head after a moment, because he doesn't know what that must have been like. It just had to have been difficult in a way he can't imagine though he's heard about it in detail from Elena before.

"It was good people." Even if he isn't close to them anymore and things got complicated, they are good people. "I try not to get close to psychopaths."

It's a quiet joke with a tiny smirk on his face.

She smirks a bit in return before nodding. "Well, good. From what I hear, psychopaths make terrible friends."

She gives a bit of a shrug at the apology though. As much as Chicago was an adventure, in and of itself, it was the more permanent loss of her own home that made the difference. She was probably going to never get back to Smallville or Metropolis or Clark or Oliver or Chloe and in some ways that's much harder than dealing with the loss of a world that wasn't hers.

"It was pretty crazy. But ... where I'm from? I can't say I haven't been to crazier."

Lois, the world was ending. As far as you know, yours hasn't done that yet.

"Strange. I heard that too," James says, and his smirk widens a bit further as he looks at her.

He sees the shrug that she gives, and he has to imagine not everyone was attached to that world in the same way especially if they came from different ones, if their real home was elsewhere. They don't get to go back to those homes either or know what happened to the people they loved who they left behind.

"...where are you from and what made it crazier than Chicago and its rifts?"

"Smallville," she says with a sigh. "Tiny little town in Kansas, somehow a bigger trouble magnet than anywhere I've ever lived - and I was an army brat. They had two meteor showers in fifteen years that nearly destroyed the town."
