Spaceship Parking, and then [Location Redacted], The Mainland, Wednesday Afternoon
Liam had been deliberately vague in the note he'd left Verity on Christmas about where exactly they were going and why, but when they decided to make the trip he'd promised her today, he did make sure to mention that she'd want to dress for weather that was warm and humid.
He showed up shortly before the time they'dhandwavily agreed to meet at the spaceship parking in the junkyard, just to quickly run his shuttle through pre-flight diagnostics.

Yeah, there was mysteries all the way around.
Verity showed up with a cute summer dress under her heavy winter coat, shoes giving her several more inches in height. Knocking on the side of shuttle, she called in, "Permission to come aboard, captain?"
no subject
"Permission granted," he said with a grin.
Behind the pilot's seat where Liam currently sat, there were two purple chairs that looked as if they had been grown rather than constructed. In fact, the entire shuttle (other than the holographic display at the front) had a distinctly organic feel to it.

Verity sat, choosing the seat that gave her the best view out the front wall. "Onward Jeeves," she teased as the restraints came down over her. "Do I get any hints about where we're off to?"

"Ummm..." Verity tried to guess. "The Great Barrier Reef! Wait, no, swimwear would have been mentioned. The glaciers would have been involved dressing for cold weather. Uhhh, Easter Island? The Florida Keys. The Maldives?"
Honestly, at this point, she was just throwing words out.

showing offtaking the scenic route."Actually, I guess Easter Island's kind of in the right direction too. Between those two."

Okay, playing 'what exotic locale am I surprising you with' was, perhaps not surprisingly, a lot of fun.
"The Bermuda Triangle! We're going to crash and live on a different creepy, magical island!"

Okay, they would. As a Priestess, there was very little she could do that would lead to them not forgiving her; choosing one of them as a sacrifice hadn't even come close.
"They were very enthusiastic about your gift, by the way. There were fashion shows involved."
That she had watched because she hadn't fully forgiven herself for the sacrifice thing yet.

They were coming up on their destination, finally, which meant Liam was bringing his hands together in a motion that looked as if he were holding an invisible basketball. The glowing purple sphere of energy that represented the Interdimensional Drive appeared between his hands and he pulled it towards him. The world around them vanished, replaced for a moment by the glowing energy fields of interdimensional space, before Liam used one hand to 'push' the ID drive in the direction of the viewscreen and they reappeared in normal space.

"That was gorgeous," she breathed.

But for now, he was finishing the landing sequence and disengaging the virtual glass so they could step outside. "After you."
no subject
"The air smells amazing," she said as they disembarked. She was wearing impractical shoes, but didn't seem at all discomforted by them.
Honestly, she'd worn higher in worse terrain.
no subject
"Even Taelon tech couldn't rid the world of air pollution. But out here? You wouldn't know it," Liam said, stepping carefully over towards a small stream.
no subject
If she could run across a derelict roof chasing an ahool, she could manage in the rainforest. "It's lovely out here," she said, looking around. A trio of brightly colored birds took off into the sky and something skittered through the underbrush. "I wonder if there are any cryptids in this world," she said, reaching for his arm.
no subject
The pinkish-purple glow swirled in his palm briefly before he sent it gently arcing over the stream.
After a moment, there was a similarly-colored blast of energy from the other side, fizzling out a few feet from where the pair stood.
no subject
Other people might have looked a littler nervous or at least concerned that their date and some unknown entity were tossing off candy-colored glow beams at one another. Verity just looked excited and intrigued by it all: the lights, the mystery, the starship, everything. Any more enthusiasm and she'd be tugging him towards the stream to get a closer look at whatever was over there.
