Charley brushed dirt from her jeans, as she listened to the strange man she had come across. Looking around the area, she noted the lack of tracks around the man; making her wonder where he’d come from to land there.

Did he fall through an anomaly? That would explain the lack of tracks, but there didn’t seem to be any other landscape displacement to indicate that either.

“Um I guess?” she answered, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice. “Where did you come from? Your clothing is… different…”

“What?”

Rip looked down at himself, ignoring the crick in his neck and how that howled, good grief, and then back up at the girl in question. “It’s... are you opposed to my coat?”

He moved to sit up, his spine making the worst little cracking noises in succession as he rose, and Rip bit the inside of his cheek to keep from making a sound. He was thankful, certainly, that time travelling had made him a bit more physically durable, but that didn’t make this whole ordeal any less of a bitch than it was.

It always caught Emily off guard when humans came through the anomalies, creatures were far more likely and, frankly, often easier to deal with. Sure they were a little more dangerous in the tooth and claw sense, but creatures all essentially worked on the same base instincts that could be predicted and managed accordingly. People, on the other hand, tended to be trickier. They tended to want things rather than just need them and you had to explain to them what was going on. Yes, she much preferred creatures, but still, she wouldn’t let that get in the way of her job.

“You are Charley Anderson, right,” Steve asked as he approached the girl standing in the middle of the palace. She was young, but then again he heard that the ARK recruited with no certain demographic and as anomalies had been communicated to certain units around the world, Five-0 found themselves being the unit selected to deal with them on Hawaii. 

lightheaded/fainting starters. ( accepting )

“I tripped and thought not to get back up.” Which is, of course, a lie, but it sounds better than the truth, which is that Rip had quite literally fallen from the sky and thumped uselessly onto the ground.

He hurts. He’s sore and miserable, and if his body hadn’t already adjusted to severe physical duress with the centuries’ worth of time travel he’d experienced, he imagines he’d be in too much pain to even speak right now.

Fortunately, Rip’s physiology is fucked up enough that the pain is simply excruciating instead of completely debilitating.
