[Open]
who: Odo & OPEN
what: Checking out his new environment
when: October 13th
where: Some park near the residential area
warnings: None, will update if needed.
For how many years he spent living on Deep Space Nine – or Terok Nor, as it once was – Odo was almost intimately familiar with its corridors, shops, and cargo bays. Criminals always knew the secret ways through vents or hidden deck plates to conduct their business – and therefore so did the constable.
However, here the buildings and roads were a mystery – a mystery that had to be solved if he had any chance of finding out exactly what had happened to him.
Not being familiar with the native fauna, Odo took the form of a Tarkalean hawk to take his impromptu aerial tour. He did his best to make a mental map of the area, but soon it would be too dark to make any more progress.
He looks for a suitable place to land, and finds one on a stone bench on the cusp of a street light. Anyone looking would see the bird turn into a shimmering liquid before growing in size and changing in shape to something much more human in appearance.

If it turned out there was nothing malicious about the portal or anything truly dangerous in the environment, Odo wouldn't stop anyone. The notion of staying was even was a little... tempting. He forcefully pushes the thought aside.
"I can only speak for myself. I need to go back. There's someone--" he cuts himself off. "...Some things that I have to do, for the war effort."

Simply that his question isn't one with such an easy and obvious answer. Odo wants to go back, evidently, but that's not true for everyone here.
"All those things you need to do will still be waiting for you, once you go back," he pauses briefly, then adds nonchalantly. "So will that someone."

The conversation had taken a more personal tone, which made the changeling a bit uncomfortable. These days, among his friends on the station he might have even welcomed the chance to speak his mind in this kind of situation, but he barely knew Kirk.
"I should go," he says suddenly. "But I'd like to be able to contact you. I might have more questions in the future."

"Anytime. My handle on the network is 'kirk', so feel free to call me or message me if you ever want to talk or meet up." Odo might find him around pretty often too, either at the Perimeter Guard or elsewhere. It's not difficult to cross paths with Jim around the Quarantine.

He appreciated a simple network name. It was easy to remember and to the point. Too bad the same could not be said for the ancient PADDs or whatever they were.
"I'll be sure to do that. Thanks for your help."
no subject
With a tip of his head and a parting smile, he waves Odo goodbye, then they part ways so they can both resume their day.
