[Waking up in strange places that don’t seem real has become all too familiar for Jean. The sensations are real, however. The sting of tiny crystal shard biting against the exposed skin of her neck and face, the feel of the ground beneath her feet, and the thirst. Why is she so thirsty?
Jean takes a moment to get her bearings, her protective pink aura enveloping her body to help push off the remainders of the crystalline shards. Everything around her reminds her of a mindscape. She closes her eyes, bringing a hand up to her forehead as she does a psi-sweep of the area for other minds. Either it’s not working or she’s alone.
So she begins to walk and eventually happens upon a source of water. It’s as strangely colored as the rest of the world but she’s desperate to sate the itch in her throat. She dunks her whole head below the water, gulping in as much as she can before she eventually has to pull her head back up to breath. She doesn’t care if the water makes her sick, it’s a relief. It’s exactly what sh--]
What?
[She squints at the water as an image that isn’t her reflection appears. She can see herself laying on the ground in the melted snow amidst a burnt out forest where the Phoenix had burned her up, only she’s whole again. Though she doesn’t appear to be breathing. She watches as her teammates show up and try to wake her. She watches as Scott holds her limp body close with his head buried against her shoulder. She continues to watch the scene play out for a bit longer before she snorts and slaps the water.]
▶ CAMP NOWHERE (D, E, + F)
[The cavern is a welcome respite. Jean settles in quickly, leaving the catchy tune on the communicator playing as she begins to go through the items left within. The strange instrument is left alone after the first time she picks it up. It’s curious but she doesn’t want to know what it might have been used for.
She digs through the cooler, eyeing the powder food bags.]
No telling how long this has been here. [But she’s hungry.]
▶ INTERSTELLAR ACTION FORCE ASSEMBLE (G)
[Finally, a rescue party. Jean isn’t sure how much longer she could have survived wandering around the strange landscape. Sure she can fly and that makes travel faster but it also takes energy, energy that she’s starting to run low on.
She’s too tired to put up a fight, not that she would have, not unless they showed any sign of wanting to cause her harm. She answers the questions asked so long as they don’t get too personal, that’s when she clams up, face turning a shade that nearly matches her hair.
When all is said and done she takes a peak around the ship, eventually finding a room that she can hopefully take a rest in.]
