Sam was, really, not as perturbed by suddenly being transported to another world as he probably should've been. While a new situation, he knew that he had to get to the nearest bar, or at least the nearest settlement that had doors.

A week after going from city to city and trying out doors, he's both a little depressed by the lack of success and even more depressed by the fact that everything seems to be wrecked, and the amount of alive people seems to be unnervingly small.

Then he started following the seagulls. The seagulls, obviously, would know what to do.

That's why there's somebody moving very fast towards the Cooper settlement, trailing golden light behind him. He stops when he reaches the front door, the little aura dissipating as he peers around. Maybe there will be people here. If not, he'll check out the big nearby city.

Will is sitting under his tree with a beer, trying to not think too much and so blinks at the running young man,

"Lad, where ye 'eaded?"

Sam thought he'd escaped being called 'lad' or 'son' of any other alternative when he'd turned eighteen (old Jedi Masters absolutely do not count. They're old. And mastery), so there's a small tinge of irritation that passes in about a split second.

"Er. Anywhere with people? Here? I don't know."

He's older then Will, but just he looks young to Will is all,

"Aye, tis people 'ere an beds an all. I'm Will Scarlett, where'd ye end up from?"

Sam looks young to a lot of people. It's a thing.

"Oh. Good. Everywhere in other places are sort of ..." How to phrase this. "Maimed and dead."

"Oh aye, been told an Apocalypse 'appened 'ere an Kansas is the only safe place. 'ppeared 'ere after bein' in Nottingham."

"... Nottingham?" Sam is so bewildered. "I'm so confused."

"Tis where I'm originally from, fell into a field an found my way 'ere, but only know what I've been told 'bout 'ere."

"Oh. Okay," Sam gives Will a small grin. "'M Sam. Sam Rand."

"Pleasure to meet ye, Sam. Tis food an such inside if ye're 'ungry an free beds in the earth 'ouse."

"Food?" That got Sam's attention. "Food is good."

A pause. He may be trying to see if Will has anything good to steal - After all, both his parents are thieves. They made a good effort at instilling certain values in him.

Sadly not, Will's got a nice sword but that's not his and Sam would have a hard time getting it away from him.

Slowly Will stands up and heads towards the kitchen, pulling out some bread and cheese as he he hands Sam a beer,

"So where are ye from then, Sam?"

"Dantooine!" Brightly. "And sometimes a bar at the end of the universe. There are lots of explosions there." This is important. Explosions are always good."

Beat.

"Oh! Thanks for the ... ale? I think?"

"Ne'er 'eard o'either an ye're welcome."

The explosions comment gets a laugh from Will,

"Oh aye, they can be good. So is Dantooine a country or a city?"

Will gets a slightly shy smile. Sam isn't especially used to people liking him - Probably because he tends to steal their stuff.

"... Er, neither? 'S a planet. Big and farmy and very boring."

Will's kind of the same way and Sam's nice so far, "Planet, oh aye? Do yer family 'ave a farm them?"

"Not really. There's also the Jedi Enclave there. Most of my family are Jedi. Or thieves."

"Oh aye, na sure what a Jedi is but I'm an outlaw in my 'ome."

The bandage on his wrist gets a twist as Will drinks down his beer.

"Jedi are, er ..." He's drawing a blank. "People who go and help other people with special powers. But no giant robots." Slightly dejectedly. The lack of giant robots always makes Sam sad.

Pause.

"I should build one!"

"Aye, like the mutants in Val an Marley's world then, but also bit like 'ow Knights are supposed to be. What's a robot?"

Kate was walking around, but Will's mention of mutants and then robots had her come over.

"Something that's built to duplicate actions of something living. Like a machine," she said as she nodded, "Hi Will, and hello, are you new?"

"Yeah. A giant robot would be something like that on a massive scale." Sam grins. "With rocket launchers and laser cannons. Oh, hey! Yeah, I'm new. Just arrived here a moment ago."

Will blinks quite a lot at that idea and has some more beer,

"Oh aye, sounds terrifyin', ye wish for a beer, Kate? Also makin' some sandwiches."

Kate started to say she was too young, but then just shook her head instead, "No, thank you. Sandwich sounds like a good idea though, thank you."

She then offered her hand to Sam, "I'm Kate Bishop." No point in using her new identity when she's in another world all together.

"Sam Rand." Shaking her hand. "Nice to meet you."

Will is making grilled cheese sandwiches since so far its one things he's mastered quite well,

"Ye said yer parents were also thieves, Sam, much call for that on Dantooine?"
