LOST HUMAN, kind of small, has glasses and tattoos [open]

Who: Myaxx and YOU; Myaxx and Newt
Where: Around L.A., also the hospital
When: now-ish??
What: Myaxx is looking for a MISSING HUMAN
Warnings: Myaxx is a sarcastic loser

[A - Around L.A, OPEN]

There is a seven-foot-tall squid alien wandering around Los Angeles. She is evidently not really used to walking around here by herself, judging her frequent checking of maps and angry muttering and general discomfort, but there's little about her behavior to suggest that she actually isn't supposed to be here so much as that she's not accustomed to it. Except, perhaps, for the occasional, vaguely suspicious stares she keeps shooting at other aliens.

Normally, Myaxx would not be wandering around in broad daylight by herself, because she's really still not totally comfortable here. But she doesn't have much of a choice, because it's hard not to notice when the guy whose home/workplace you're living in suddenly stops showing up. And when that guy also happens to be one of the only... friends, she guesses, it feels weird to use that word... that you've got on the planet anywhere, it's hard not to want to know what's going on.

And, without access to any of the scanners or surveillance networks she would normally use for something like this, she's having to try a somewhat less efficient means of finding him. She assumes he's just off messing around with some work thing outside of the clinic, but it doesn't hurt to check.

Every so often she'll actually approach someone, usually human but occasionally alien, apparently chosen at random, and her question is always the same. "Do you know Newton Geiszler?"

[B - Hospital, closed to Newt]

It took a couple minutes to convince the hospital staff that Myaxx's visible rage did not make her any sort of danger to any patients, and even then they made her wait in the lobby until she calmed down (that is to say, until she started pretending to be calm).

Of course, the moment she actually gets into the hospital room, it's pretty obvious that the whole "not being incredibly ticked off" thing is largely an act. "Newt! What is wrong with you, what were you thinking?!"

Alright, fine. That's fair. His question hadn't really been very tactful, so maybe her sarcasm was warranted (the eye rolling was little much).

"Uh. Yeah. I just figured since, you know, you're not from here you might be able to help me out," he looks around like he's expecting to see something obvious that he's been somehow missing this whole time. "This place have a spaceport or...what? How'd you get here? Seems like there's a lot of non-natives to just be random passer-byers..."

"Heh. New to the planet, new to the galaxy." Ratchet shrugs. So, no space port. Not the end of the world, but it certainly makes things more complicated. "My ship didn't crash so much as burn out during an uh...sort've unplanned warp jump. But I can fix it! At least...I'm pretty sure I can fix it..."

He trails off thoughtfully for a moment before something she said occurs to him and he turns his gaze back to Myaxx. "Wait, did you say 'escape pod'? Escape pod from what?"

Uh huh.

"And...you were the only one who crashed here?" He asks carefully, raising an eyebrow. There's something shifty about her story...just a little too vague. A little too brisk. He shakes his head.

"Listen, sorry. I'm not trying to pry, I just, I need to get this ship fixed. Spaceport or no, there's gotta be somewhere to get basic supplies on this rock, right? Vacuum hull sealant...some ion couplings...maaaaybe a replacement grav-thruster, but I'm not gonna get picky. I know this planet's...behind and all, but this isn't rocket science. Okay, maybe it's a LITTLE rocket science. But seriously...only a little."

"Great. That's...great." His shoulders slump in resignation. Even the most backwater planets in Solana and Polaris aren't this destitute. He decides not to press her further on her origins for now; it seems like a touchy subject, and she's obviously dancing around the issue.

"Alright, this isn't gonna be short trip then. But you said that most people come to this planet by accident...not all?" There's a hopeful tone in his voice at the end.
