You've been seen by a coolly efficient (what you hope is a) medical professional - after all they did give you a shot of something. Then you were handed a slew of things you're still trying to process - communication devices, a ring (which is also a key?), a piece of transparent film that's flashing information. And clothing, that was a thoughtful gesture. And then there was the explanation - You've been taken (isn't that a nice way of saying 'kidnapped') by that floating orb of light, you can't leave, but while you're here you get room and board. Is that really a fair trade? Oh, and to top everything off, you have a set of gem like stones set into your chest, that you can't remove. Before you know it, you've moved with the crowd towards the shuttle and now that you are sitting down, it's now suddenly sinking in. You are so very far from home. [NOTE: Please note that the actual arrival process is different from the above scenario - please see the New Arrivals Page for a detailed explanation of the actual arrival process.] ~ ☼ ~ [Cafeteria] You’re hungry, and though the smells coming from the cafeteria are strange, they are alluring. The grumble in your belly tells you it’s worth chancing. ~ ☼ ~ [Multipurpose Common Area] You’re bored but haven’t quite worked up the courage to venture out into the greater parts of the station. The common area of the residential community seems like it might provide some distractions. And the view out the large windows lining one wall is simply stunning. ~ ☼ ~ [The Center Station Central Gardens] In an environment where spatial expansion is finite, it seems extravagant to house a garden this big. What looks like giant trees at first glance, turn outo be the wire structures that rise up six stores before fanning out actually house various breeds of creeping vines. There are two levels of raised walkways that wind around the vine structures. The ground level also wraps lazily through various plots of vegetation. There is enough variety of plants here to keep anyone interested for hours. ~ ☼ ~ [Cemetery Ring] If you’re in more for a somber atmosphere, the Cemetery Ring is open to everyone. The first sign posted outside the door reads "We are the lights that shines brightest against the night." The sign below it simply says "All are welcome." This wide corridor, that traverses the whole very top of the Inner Rings, is dimly lit, but pinpoints of light twinkle all over the wall. The wall juts out in an effort to create more surface area for memorials to those Owmi who have passed on to the next life since the Owmi started their nomadic journey. The peacefulness of the room is inviting. ~ ☼ ~

Rachel grinned. "That sounds about right. I don't know the whole science about us, though. I know we came from another place, a long time ago, with a few other races, when there was a big war." She doesn't know if the word 'demon' will mean anything here, have the same weight, but she doesn't want to bring it up, not it or the Ever After or the elves. Not yet. "There are...enzymes in my blood that are different from humans, that make spells and charms work if I mix it with plants." That, admittedly, was dumbing it down, but going into leylines with someone who wasn't a witch, even a really smart kid, seemed a bit chancy.

She blinked a couple times, then shrugs, rubbing another leaf between her fingers to try to get something from the oils. Jenks would probably do better, but she doesn't have him, so she's having to trust her own senses. "I don't know. I haven't talked to anyone named Regulus or Lily. Maybe. If humans where they're from know about witches, probably." Unless they were from before the Turn. Oh God, that'd suck dishwater, to run in to pre-Turn witches. Pearce had been okay, but that had only been for one night, and he'd been on a mission. "Have you seen them do magic here?" Maybe that would tell her, if she knew what kind of magic these other 'witches' did.

Leia nodded again, this time surprisingly solemn. "There was a big war where I'm from too, but that was before I was born," she said. Except that the Jedi hadn't been able to escape their war. "And I know there'll be others too, that I'll probably be part of someday. There've been people here from my future and they talked about it."

"People with the Force don't need plants to make it work, though," Leia said. "Some people can use the Force to help plants grow better, but I don't know how to do that. I can show you what I can do with the Force, though, if you want."

Leia nodded. "Regulus used the Owmi's magic," she said. "But I think that learning it kept him from being able to get his own back here; you can only have one kind of magic at a time, I guess. I don't think I've seen Lily do magic, but you could ask her about it if you want; she's nice."
