[closed] move, groove, prove you can handle me
Who: Sheryl (
galactically) and Slaine (
adept)
What: Slaine gets to see Sheryl's panties — by accident
When: March 16th
Where: Town
Warnings: hideousness
[Dealing with yesterday's unwarranted fiasco has left Sheryl with memories of the sudden sickness deep within her thoughts, monsters of varying degrees of ugly and horrifying notwithstanding. Since then, she's more or less upset with "the most incompetent and irresponsible group of gods ever" — her words, naturally — and she plans to make her complaints heard loud and clear to every god like herself and shinki.
But first, she needs to clear her head... by shopping. Although her budget is very low for an intergalactic pop star, she manages to emerge from a nearby store carrying a tiny bag of clothes tucked in the crook of her arm. This could've otherwise been an uneventful day in town, if Sheryl paid any attention to the lacy black panties hanging just outside her bag.
Or if a nearby dog didn't just snatch the underwear with its teeth. Or if it didn't have that piece of cloth stuck around its muzzle.]
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[Did you hear that? It's the sound of Sheryl's horrified shrills echoing through the town as she starts chasing after that furry panty thief.]
My panties! Give them back to me, you pervert! COME BACK!

So the change of subject is more than welcome and he brings a hand up to pet Lily. Naturally, the one that didn't handle Sheryl's underwear]
Yes, this is Lily. Her litter was abandoned, so I took her in and... I suppose you could say Hibari claimed the others.
[Well, Hibari had claimed the whole litter, but he'd rewarded Slaine for his help with the kitten he now has]
no subject
She's so precious, Slaine! She looks like a such a tiny cloud.
[A tiny cloud of cuteness. Her hand stills and her smile falters, though, at hearing what happened to the kitten. Abandoned...
She's not as quick as usual to compose herself, but the relief is apparent on her face.]
I'm glad she found a good home. No one should be left behind.
no subject
When she teeters, Slaine moves a hand to support her, but she's quick to adjust her footing and regain balance. Someone has skills in the perching department]
If I recall, she was the smallest of the litter.
[And he suspects that Hibari gave her to him having noticed that. The runt was usually picked on by the others, he recalls reading]
I can't imagine what sort of person could choose to leave kittens that way... But I think it worked out. Better a loving home than an obligatory one.
[It strikes him as odd to say, once he's said it, puzzlement flitting across his eyes just fora moment before he catches himself]
The others are surely at the temple of Hibari's god.
no subject
A heartless one would abandon them. You don't need to imagine that scenario.
[She says with complete certainty before her tone shifts back into a light one, a pleased expression over her face.]
Is Hibari a friend of yours? It's nice of him to take in stray kittens. [So she says despite only hearing about it through Slaine.] Anyway, why are you bringing Lily outside?
no subject
Calling someone a friend might not be likely, from him.
[Having said that, though-]
I hadn't thought much about it... [Now that he does though] I suppose I didn't want her to feel alone.
no subject
[All Slaine gets from the first response is a slight cant of Sheryl's head and an owlish look from her, all before she shrugs nonchalantly.]
That's too bad. [She keeps her gaze riveted on the kitten after pulling her hand aside.] This is the first time I've met someone who takes his cat outside. Well, she won't be alone now that she has you!
no subject
[Though he's sure all of those cats are being cared for. When he'd looked up information, Hibari was just as intent on it as the fights he liked to pick, it seemed to Slaine.
That level of focus doesn't suggest a lack of care]
no subject
[Sheryl taps her chin with the tip of her finger in thought, looking off to one side for a brief moment. All these mentions of kittens is bringing about a certain memory from long, long ago — one that she thought was buried forever.]
I took care of a stray cat once... but that was so long ago. I was really young back then.
[Like, ten years young.]
no subject
[Sheryl certainly comes up with rather unusual epithets...
But it doesn't seem like a bad thing, and Slaine glances at Lily when she bumps her face against his cheek]
Did you like it? Having a cat, that is.
no subject
You're making it sound like I kept it as a pet. Well, it wasn't too bad...
[There's a momentary pause as she considers her next words. It's not too often that Sheryl brings up a subject from her home fleet.]
All animals in Galaxy have implants, even cats, so I've never had any interest. [A beat.] Until I got myself a pet at Frontier.
no subject
[He feels the need to inquire after that first]
I'm not sure I follow, regarding implants.
[It sounds like something out of a story rather than the world they inhabit]
no subject
[She wouldn't have been able to keep the cat anyway, not when she once dealt with her own problems.]
Cybernetic devices that are attached to the brain. They're commonplace in Galaxy, where I lived, but illegal in other space fleets.
no subject
[He's not quite sure how to feel about that idea.
What do they do to pets, if they have something like that?]
no subject
[Something that Sheryl can't say she's fond of, as the apprehensive tone seeps through in her voice. Of course, she makes sure to add one more thing, proudly at that:]
I don't have implants, by the way. Everything about me is all natural.
no subject
What are the implants for though?
no subject
[She pauses, pursing her lips a little in thought.]
My ex-manager has implants.
no subject
[It doesn't sound familiar at all to him]
As convenient as that might be, it also sounds unsettling.
no subject
[And this only reminds Sheryl of Grace even more...]
Well, that's not to say it's so bad, but I can see why people would be unsettled by them.
no subject
[Somehow people having implants doesn't seem that foreign, there were less sophisticated versions and prosthetics even here.
But the sheer volume of functions those devices were capable of was concerning]
no subject
[But Slaine isn't wrong there. She can't disagree with his words.
There's a small pause as Sheryl gives a small, casual shrug.]
That's why when I tell people I don't have implants, they're honestly surprised. You see... [She leans forward, a light smirk tugging at her lips.] It's one of my highest selling points.
no subject
[He's just going to take a guess, because he isn't sure what else that would connote. At least insofar as "selling points" were concerned.
There'd doubtless be an appeal to being an unusual case]
no subject
[She says with a proud lilt to her voice, resting a hand on her hip like she expects Slaine to be impressed.]
There's no one in Galaxy quite like me, which helps me stand out in the music industry.
no subject
So it is because it's unusual.
[Totally taking what she said as confirmation]
no subject
[She's just... going to move her hand off her hip and poke him on the cheek with a finger, all the while pouting at him.]
I'm much more than just my visual appeal, I'll have you know!
no subject
Rather than brush her hand away, he just waits for her to move it herself]
...I hadn't assumed that implants were visible to start with.
[This is still what they're talking about, isn't it?]
