A Little Imagination[OPEN]

[Deleted]

Miyuki sat on a stone out crop looking over the strange little system of tunnels and bridges that made up the aqueduct of New Rome. Perhaps little wasn't the best term, it supplied both the city and camp with fresh water. It was an amazing system, for certain, ad greatly improved since it's start. They were in a new age, and had sons and daughters of Vulcan after all. She couldn't help but like the architecture that was put into it, she wasn't the type to think up these resourceful changes. She dreamed, and her dreams took her all over the world, but she was no inventor. Nor was she an architect. However she could draw. Plans, straight or curved lines with the raise and fall of the land. Blueprints at times, not really that hard. Sometimes she could sketch a scene well enough, but never capture the true beauty of it. She supposed that was for the children of Apollo. Still, she liked it.

Here she sat, sketchbook in hand, with maps of all of New Rome and camp in her particular style. She could use the standard, but she didn't. She had her own strange symbolism in her drawings, though you could probably tell where it was if you lived here long enough. Then in Japanese she wrote out anything she needed to note on the sides, or with names. Most people could never tell what was in her book, which was just as well. She'd hate for it to get in the wrong hands. She knew all kinds of little in's and outs, anything new she'd tell the Praetors so that perhaps they could close it up or leave it for whatever reason. Such well drawn maps as what she had would be a disaster to anyone though.

With a rustle and a soft thump, Miyuki put her supplies away. Her bag held not only the notebook, but her tortillons, pencils, knead-able eraser, and white eraser as well. She stretched and leaned all the way back closing her eyes in the sun. It was a good day for a nap, not that she was too particular about what days were good for naps. Training hard was something anyone in the legion did, everyone in the legion had to do. Sometimes though, she just wanted to take a nice break and relax. Activity for the brain more than the body. Like the imagination, that'd be fun. She threw herself into another world, Star Trek. A giggle escaped her as she smiled, thinking about some new planet to explore.

Almost two years had passed since Kyle had been to New Rome. Almost two years since he just left after his service and traveled around the world. Like his mother long, long ago, he wanted to see if he could help around. He was a very good medic and he was used to work under pressure, so working in battle fields wouldn't harm, right? He tried to do it, but whenever he was in the battlefield, he ended up leaving after a couple of weeks, he simply couldn't stand it anymore and after some time, he realized he hated war and all the death that it brought. Then he tried to work in small clinics, places where people didn't had enough money to pay for his services, and it really worked! He had an itinerant job, some days here, other days there, always fun.

He took a picture from his pocket, there it was a beautiful young woman smiling widely at him, then put it back in his pocket. After that he looked around for a shadow that he could use to get away from that place where he had been working for a while. It took him a moment to leave, he looked around, he saw the small room, it was kind of moistly inside but dry outside, the old paint on the walls was already falling apart, the place seemed fresh unless by the moldy smell. That was the place where the small hospital had been placed, it had only 4 rooms and an operating room is available. He had some good memories there, since the noisy kid that yelled when he got a vaccine to the very old man that went to his appointment with his wife and both of them looked at each other with the same love that they felt for each other since the moment they had met!

But he knew he had to go back, so he stepped into the closest shadow and a second later he had been swallowed by it. He trusted his skills and he knew that he wouldn't get lost or got too tired to travel among the shadows. So he was sure that the moment he walked out of the shadows, he would be in New Rome. He finally got out of the shadows and there they were the campers, the buildings, the city... He wanted to go out and look for the old places, but he would have time for that. Kyle finally left the shadow behind, he looked around and saw New Rome. "Hello old friend." He said the moment he saw the city. Suddenly he saw a girl there. "Excuse me, Is Praetor Alexander still in Principia?" he asked to the girl.

I'd rather sleep my whole life away Immersed in her dream world Miyuki couldn't help but include people she liked, Joshua and the ever present in his life Rhiannon. Felicity couldn't be excluded since she had become good friends with Josh, Remus obviously had to join the starship crew. Captain Stone. Didn't sound out of place in her mind in the slightest. Many people had to run it anyway, so Ethan, Lance and the little Lyndis girl where there too. Families of the people on board, since the legion's age standard where much different than star fleets. Mercury the linguistics officer, why was he even on board? Her mind hijacked scenarios anyway, so finding people in roles she hadn't placed them in wasn't too difficult. Sometimes it was really fun too. She had to laugh out loud at some of the linguistics offices antics, and the people who seemed to pick him up as a father figure on board. She was someone encountering the Federation for the first time, an alien. Not that difficult, and they had empaths that seemed to understand her kind better than humans normally could. Her abilities, and why not change her skin color and hair color? Purple seemed like an interesting enough skin color, and metallic gold hair. She couldn't help but think of the legions colors. A cool voice cut through her imagination as she slowly opened her eyes to look at the person who spoke. He seemed to be looking over new Rome and talking to himself a little bit, until he saw her laying there. She smiled at him and stood up dusting herself off. "In the last war Praetor Stone took over, and more recently Praetor Kyoto. Did you want to see them?” The image of head medic came to mind. Image because some how it wasn't a word in her mind, but something visual she couldn't explain in words. She tried to search her mind for him, probably the one just before Kyoto. “O'Brian right?” she said with a smile after she pegged the name in her mind. She might not remember everyone in the legion but she remembered the commanders. It was a bit necessary to know any of the chain of command, including the infirmary. “It's been a while, your post has switched a few times since you left. What brings you back?” She wasn't exactly sure if she could trust him, a few rumors about him passed around in the after math of the war. Including ones about Ashby and Weingarten. Anyone who took out a large number of people with a slight insanity about them. Perhaps that's why no one ever suspected that Rhiannon. She was calm, thought provoking, and kept her distance from people but wasn't overly repulsive of them as Edmund. Tugging her gloves out of her pocket she slid them on her hands, she wore them as long as she wasn't practicing or drawing. Soft breathable cloth, since it wasn't germs or anything of the sort she was concerned about. Than have you keep me from dreaming Lyrics from Fairytale by Sara Bareilles Code done by step

Kyle Lucian O´Brian The girl definitely looked like a sleepy one, or maybe she simply was dreamining of a better life? a better destiny? that was something that he never did until he fell in love and wanted to keep the woman he loved safe from all risk and danger, which he couldn't accomplish in his life. But he smiled at this girl, this girl with dreamy eyes and sleepy expression. Maybe it was only she was tired after a heavy training or maybe he just needed to get used to be in that place again? All those thoughts got his mind, but when she spoke to him, she was nice and polite. At least she hadn't lost that in her years there. But then she explained to him that Alexander was no longer in Principia, well maybe that was good, and about that name... Remus... he kind of remember it. Son of Mars, good fighter. Well wasn't a bad change then. "So he is no longer there... well for sure he wanted a nice peaceful life after what happened." smiles at the girl who had been so kind of not only telling him that Alexander had left the post but also told him who was now in charge. "thank you very much for the information." but before he could introduced himself, she told him his name. how did she knew him, well... maybe she got injured, maybe he treated her and healed her. "That's right, Kyle O'Brian. It is very kind of your to remember my name. And I'm so sorry to tell you this, but I don't remember yours. so could you be so kind to tell me your name?" He told her feeling really bad. He could remember many of the names of his patients, but not all of them, not those who weren't recurrent. he could remember those who were in the infirmary frequently, like those in the first and second cohorts. Then she asked why he was back and that his post had been changed to several people. "Well... I've heard of the upcoming war and I thought a good medic could be useful, also I'm not such a bad fighter, so maybe I can help in the battlefield too." He said and then offered his hand to the girl so she could get up from the ground. "in fact... it would be a pleasure to have a guide like yourself." he smiled at her a bit more with that honest smile of his. "that way, maybe you could tell me more about the changes that Camp has had." Life and death and everything between

I'd rather sleep my whole life away The Praetor position was a hard on to keep, not because of the fighting only, but the stress. She had seen the job change hands a few times in the nine years she had lived in the barracks. She supposed she could say the same for each of the positions. Centurions, head of offices, some of the guard duties. Luckily the metal dogs were guards of the Praetors, she'd wonder what would happen if it had been human beings. How they would have felt about their charges being taken from camp under their noses. Not that they had taken it very well as mechanical inventions, they seemed very much alive at times. Brooding, and sad when they had failed, over protective then Remus came back. They were cute. Like most of the animals that had shown up around camp. She still wondered what the forge was going to do once the lion cub became full grown. "You're welcome" she said with a bit of a dreary sleepy eyes smile. Some people claimed she had bedroom eyes, or something of the sort. It was never that, it was simply her mix of Asian and sleepy headdedness. "Oh please don't be sorry, I don't believe we've properly met. My name is Miyuki Minamimoto. I made sure to know the names of everyone in charge, and I don't easily forget them." perhaps it wasn't normal to remember someone who you hadn't seen or heard from in years, or even spoken to in the first place. She'd seen him, it was rather hard to not see anyone when you all lived together in a small environment of about five hundred people. Not to mention the people she knew who frequented his care. In her case it happened to be Ceres kids who might get themselves hurt not only in the training field, but the kitchens, or the garden. With a shy smile she tugged the edges of her gloves to make sure they where on securely, and reached out to shake his hand. "And it's a pleasure to have you back with us." she was already up standing, to his offer to help her up was taken as wanting a hand shake. It also seemed customary enough to do after introductions. "Ask any questions you want, I'm decently knowledgeable about what's happening. As much as a simple legionnaire can be at any rate." she gave a soft laugh as she stepped forward, to be a little in front of where Kyle was looking over New Rome. "Welcome home." She wanted to start with some of the new things in the camp, how some of their training was different, or hot the obstacle course was changed again. She didn't let him know anything too specific, at least not until he had spoken to Remus and Jason. He could be a spy, and she hated suspecting someone off the bat. Or suspecting anyone, but with the people who had left being ones she hadn't initially suspected it was a bit hard. Nicholas was a dedicated legionnaire, and centurion. Several of the quiet people left, of minor and major gods. No one was exempt from the changing sides. She told him about the people who had died, and about the people who had gone missing, she didn't say they joined the titan though.
