Peter. [ Harry barely even moves a muscle at the sudden intrusion. It's as if he's been expecting him. Or hoping for him to show up. For someone to give a damn. It's been a long time since anyone cared. Really cared.

He takes another drink before turning on his heels to face his old pal. The movement's a little careless, more than a little risky considering where he's standing, but he's past caring about his own safety. He's facing something far worse than a quick death after all. This disease is worming its way under his skin -- inch by tiny inch, and he lies awake every night haunted by the image of his father lying in his deathbed. He knows what's coming for him and it's torture. ]

Just the man I needed to see. [ Needed. Because he needs Peter now more than ever. It used to be that he could still carelessly want for things. Now it's all need, need, need. If he sounds desperate it's because he is. He's literally hanging off the edge. His life is slipping out of control.

The serious look on Peter's face makes him smile a little... with affection, with amusement, with barely concealed relief. ]

What's wrong, buddy?

( damon lifts his head up from where he stands, cleaning of the top of the bar. it's the sound of the voice that draws his attention, and then... there's everything else about him. huh. wonderland still has ways of surprising unless this is some kind of cowboy movie event. )

Normally, I'd ask if you really want the hardest and finest, but you look and sounds like you walked out of an actual John Wayne movie so you probably don't want the pisswater most people think counts as hard liquor these days.

( he sets a glass in front of him and then turns to survey the side of the bar that he doesn't go to often except for himself. )

[Realizing that a man is different, and understanding how, is not the same thing. So it hasn't entirely hit Newt why this man isn't like others.

Though that answer makes him sad, even if he looks sad.]

I can understand that. There was a record player here before, though someone recently, well, they set it on fire.

Though I hadn't thought before to try and get a new one from the closet. Thank you for that reminder.

[it's hard when someone knows her as well as he does. He knows her tells. Her weaknesses.

And doesn't like feeling weak.]

I think I'm doing just fine

What you think and what actually is are entirely different things, Wynonna. [ he stops fiddling with the phone, laying it screen side down on the table before them, pivoting his body slightly as to better face her. ] One perception is true, the other is merely a delusion. One that's not going to fade with time unless it's dealt with head-on.

[ pot calling the kettle black. for someone who gives amazing advice from time to time, he sure sucks at taking it himself. ]

[ he looks puzzled for a second — the briefest of seconds, but enough that damon might've caught a glimpse of his utter bewilderment. (who the fuck is john wayne?) ]

Beggars can't afford to be choosers, but if it comes down to finer brews versus pisswater, as you so eloquently put it, I'm afraid I'll have to side with that which wasn't distilled in an outhouse.

You can ask the closets here for New York pizza and though it's not as good as Lombardi's, it's pretty close. I'm a professional pizza eater so that's a really good thing in my book.

Your turn. :)

Are you for real a professional pizza eater? Because I've never met one. Maybe we should hang out. [ Back home, Harry used to get pizzas delivered to his penthouse. He likes the New York pizza because of its very thin-crust. It's less carbs. He'd usually order two slices. There's no point in ordering more than he can chew. He rarely has friends over. Correction: Harry doesn't have friends. ]

Is there anything you think shouldn't be on a slice of pizza? Anchovies are a big no no for me.

In Wonderland, I totally am, so we should definitely hang out. Back home, I do nerdy science things.

[ For the FBI, specifically. Which admittedly isn't as glamorous as being a professional pizza eater, probably. ]

I'm with you. No to anchovies. Also, mushrooms? The texture is weird. I'm kind of just a fan of plain cheese if I'm being honest.

I like cheese. It's the best thing. I think I might have a love-hate relationship with pineapples. Sometimes just thinking about it makes me feel a little tingly on the inside. I don't like that. [ What can he say? He's a little eccentric. ]

So, what kind of nerdy science things do you do back home? [ This interests him of course. Who knows? He might eventually meet someone here who can help him stop dying. That would be something. ]

I feel that way about bananas, which you definitely wouldn't put anywhere near pizza but. Yeah. Bananas are so strong. They're good, but they kind of take over every other flavor.

[ She has some eccentricities herself. ]

Mostly of the forensic science variety, working with lots of computers. Cracking codes, solving riddles, putting together totally vague clues and saving the world. Sometimes.

[ She may not have a medical science background, but she'd definitely try to do whatever she could to help someone. ]

Banana chocolate crepes are delicious. I remember having that once. [ It was a long time ago. He doesn't indulge in sweets these days. They're bad for him. There's not much known about this disease he has, but even as a child, his father rarely allowed him to have dessert after meals which he'd like to believe is for a good reason. Why else would you deprive an eight year old? Then again... his father severely disliked him. ]

You must miss the work. But I guess Wonderland is a giant mystery just waiting to be solved. [ Harry's not a fan of puzzles. Or secrets. He'd been kept in the dark his entire life, and now that he knows the truth, it's only serving to destroy him. ]

[the worst part is he's right. She hates when he's right about things. Especially when it involves her. It's not like emotional intelligence is something she has a lot of. She doesn't want to talk about her feelings. She wants to find this Red Queen or whoever is really in charge, kick ass and go hone. ]

We have more pressing issues at the moment, don't you think?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[ claud loves to bullshit all day long, and arguing is her first language. so it's a little of column a and a little of column b that brings her affronted face onscreen. ]

If your magic device isn't fancy enough, that's no one's fault but your own, Hoss. The place chose it based on your skill level when you got here.

( peter reaches out with those reflexes, gripping hold of harry's arm before he can topple right off the other side of the roof. his grip tightens on harry, and peter just shakes his head slightly with a slow smile pulling across his face even though there's no hiding the worry in his expression. the dark brown of his eyes somehow darken with it as he keeps a constant eye on harry, looking to remove the bottle from his hand if he can. )

Oh, y'know. You're just standing on the edge of the roof looking like you're gonna take a dive, and I don't see a parachute on ya.

( he gives harry a tug back on to the roof where he can have his feet on solid ground again. peter takes a step back, swallows, but keeps a hold of his friend. his gaze darts over the side of the roof and then back to harry. )

What'd you need me for? Cause if you wanted me to go too, I gotta tell you... I'm gonna need a bungee chord at least.

NETWORK.

Given that this location hasn't been on any map or time that I've had access to it is unusual that it also exists outside of time.

( It's not the Vanishing Point, or at least not the one that she knows. Another from another universe? )

It would lead me to question whether or not there were other similar places - other things outside of time. Perhaps the subtle differences that distinguish our universe could result in something like this.

THE GARDENS.

( It was one thing to exist in this form inside Captain Hunter's mind, but here? He'd remembered, let it go, and this shouldn't have existed.

It did. And she existed )

( Perhaps, despite what had seemed to be a success, he hadn't actually let go, simply changing where his mind lay from the Waverider to... she didn't actually know where. It wasn't anywhere that Gideon had had data on before )

THE LIBRARY.

( She's never had to refer to an actual book before, being a supercomputer, and despite how much this extends upon the Waverider's own library Gideon finds it a little lacking. Surprisingly that isn't due to the contents of the library but having to manually find something herself.

It leads the woman to wandering up and down the aisles, searching in what is starting to seem like a fruitless effort. She's looking for information on time. Though Gideon's something of an 'expert' on it herself her knowledge doesn't seem to be as relevant here )

( SIGH )

[ a scoff from the other side of the stack gideon's browsing. ]

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, lady.

[ claudia pokes her entire head through a space where apparently books are supposed to go, swiveling it around until her gaze lands on gideon. she finishes the quote incorrectly, with a fake and sugary grin: ]

Wonderland would beat us unconscious with 'em. [ frown. ] Newbie, huh?

[ what he doesn't say is: "well then, this here magical device must be confused, given that my skill level isn't exactly riding in line with the times." what he does is: ]

I meant no disrespect towards these means of communicating with one another that they've so thoughtfully provided us with. [ how can something sound so sincere, yet also venomous at the same time? it's his way. ] I only meant there aren't any other features on this that the iPhone in my pocket came with in surplus.

[ if there's a more recognizable voice in the universe than gideon's, ray will eat his suit. but that voice combined with the names she's calling out leave zero room for doubt. it renews his hope somehow and leaves him a bit dumbfounded all the same. he rounds the bushes, expecting vibrant blue or... a device emitting the voice?

but there's just a woman???? standing in the gardens??? ]

Excuse me-- [ he starts forward toward her, golf bag dragging behind him and wobbling against the speed ] --did you hear where that voice just now came from?

I think you're getting ahead of yourself.

[ because they're "new in town," so to speak, and they've only got the barest of knowledge when it comes to the ins and outs of this place. sure, this red queen was supposedly the head honcho in charge, but was she really? and was she the one pulling the strings? so many questions, so few answers. even he knows better than to storm in, guns blazing, without having a better grasp on the bigger picture. especially when there's no immediate need to do so right the hell down.

calm down, wynonna. ]

You're like a tightly coiled snake, just waiting for something to walk by that you can strike.

I have recently arrived here, yes.

( And whilst that statement doesn't quite match the quote somehow it seems a fitting statement given what she's heard already about this place.

It's not good )

But I've come to learn a few things already.

( For the moment until Ray speaks Gideon's relieved to see him, and then quickly disappointed all in one go. She should have expected it after Jax and Sara hadn't recognised her, but then again she hadn't expected Doctor Palmer to be here.

Whatever here was. Though it seemed she'd have to wait before knowing that.

Not knowing something... now that was strange )

I believe the voice you're referring to is my own, Doctor Palmer.

( Don't make her do the thing )

And it's relieving to see you.

[The Dead don't really look out for each other. Not like the Living do. They move into the city in groups because it's safer, because a lone zombie is an easy target, but not because they care about each other. Things had been changing, in a slow and strange way, when he had left the airport with Julie... but there had been too much confusion to really pin it down.]

I like that. [He says, with a short and surprisingly co-ordinated nod.] I'd.. like to help.

[And yet.. he isn't sure how much it would be permitted. Perhaps this woman doesn't recognise him for what he is, but others would.]

... You're welcome.

[R smiles, a slightly lopsided affair as he shrugs his shoulders in a familiar gesture. Satisfied that he diverted the topic away from reading, his attention drifts off for a few moments, pewter-grey eyes scanning slowly over the incomprehensible book spines once again.

He realises, belatedly, that it's probably the right time in the conversation to introduce himself. He declines to offer a hand - the lukewarm flesh of the Dead is only going to raise questions he doesn't want to answer.]

I'm R.

[He doesn't notice him. No surprise, really, but it's enough of a surprise to R when the sound of a guitar that he definitely doesn't remember being in the record begins. R opens his eyes - pewter grey - and looks quickly to the source of the sound.

At first, he doesn't understand why he didn't realise he was being watched. That he didn't realise someone was there... but he is not a stranger to the idea of some zombies being different to himself. This is another one like him, but not like him, and he watches the way that Sahu's fingers move deftly over the strings and frets with a kind of envy and wonders how he knew what they were without asking.

R doesn't speak, only listens.]
