Who: Lance & OPEN
When: Late April
What: Settling in, being a nuisance, et cetera.
Where: All over - he’s On The Move.

a; in the far shore

[One of the first thing Lance does, after settling in at Minerva’s temple, is explore the place. He’s sure he’s allowed to - Hifumi won’t mind! And what’s a better way to learn the ropes than to be out there? He wanders through every district, often wearing the distinct armor he woke up with. Sure, he doesn’t know the significance of it, but...it might be a good idea to be protected?

(He has the assumption monsters are common. He might be disappointed, eventually.)

It comes in handy, though, when it comes to exploring the abandoned temples. He clambers up the ruins like a particularly spritely goat, and doesn’t seem to be bothered by all the vines and debris. In fact, if someone runs across him when he’s exploring an old, abandoned temple, they might even hear him laughing like a kid in a candy store.

Otherwise, he’ll just grin and wink at anyone he passes by. Maybe he’ll even throw in a finger gun, if you’re lucky.]

b; in the near shore
Oh, come on.

[Guess who’s in Die Jagd? It’s this guy, and he doesn’t look anywhere near impressed with the surroundings.]

That’s definitely fake. You see this, right? [He says to you, fellow patron.] That looks so cheap - there’s no way that’s real!

[Do you agree with him or not?]

[ He thinks there might be a chance that Blue would show up here, but... Red is Lance's now. Then again, Red had shown up for Keith, so...

... thinking about it too much is bound to give him a headache. ]

I'll be sure to let you know if we get all of them and their pilots together.

[ But right now... a cat trots in and rubs against Lance's ankles. She's fluffy and white, and missing an arm, but that doesn't deter her. ]

[thegoofball]

[Sometimes things are just Complicated.]

Seems like things this advanced would pilot themselves.

[He's not exactly surprised by the cat, but he's not expecting to see one already. He stoops down to pet her, looking pleased.]

Awww, hey there.

[galrarm]

[ Shiro's life is nothing if not complicated.... ]

They can move on their own, but they're still ships.

[ Annnnd there's Yukina. Shiro laughs lightly and walks a little closer, then kneels down. Immediately, she starts purring. ]

Looks like Yukina likes you already.

[thegoofball]

[And it's not gonna get any easier.]

They're magic robot cat ships, auto-pilot seems like a given.

[He's gonna give that good girl a scritch behind her ears.]

I've got a way with the ladies.

[galrarm]

Cats do what they want, after all.

[ Yukina chirps and rubs her head against his hand. ]

A way with cats, at least, [ he says, teasingly. ]

[thegoofball]

[Lance huffs, before turning his attention back to Yukina and cooing.]

That's nothing to knock! Cats are great.

[galrarm]

Yeah, they are. That's why I have twelve non-robot cats.

[ Yukina DEFINITELY likes this human. She lets out a trill and rears up on her hind legs, bumping her head against his chin. ]

I'll definitely have to make sure she doesn't go home with you.

[thegoofball]

Maybe I should get some cats.

[She's sure Hifumi and the owls won't mind.

Also, his heart is melting.]

She should come visit, at least.

[galrarm]

There's a cat cafe on the Near Shore that has adoptable cats. That's where I got Yukina.

[ Yukina loves Lance already. ]

I'm sure that can be arranged. Then again, I can't exactly set up boundaries for a cat.

[thegoofball]

Whaaaaat? Really?

[He needs to Acquire Cats.]

Cats go where they want, when they want. It's why they're so great.

[galrarm]

Really. It's a neat place.

[ He smiles and kneels down, and Yukina trots over to nudge her hand against Shiro's. ]

They're pretty much the best. Honestly, I'm kind of jealous of them. They don't have to worry about much.

[thegoofball]

Sounds like it!

[Awww, he has been Abandoned. This is a betrayal.]

Cats have plenty to worry about! What they're gonna eat, when they're gonna eat, when they're gonna groom themselves...

[galrarm]

[ Worry not, new human. Yukina will return.... after she shmoozes up to Shiro. She's currently nuzzling against his cheek, and purring up a hell of a storm. ]

Oh, right. It's always a mystery, where their next meal will come from.

[thegoofball]

[Well, they do say distant makes the heart grow fonder. He will wait for you forever, Yukina.]

It is! The greatest mystery of our time!

[galrarm]

[ even bigger than why kids love cinnamon toast crunch so much, lance ]

No wonder they're always begging.

[thegoofball]

[i'm going to kill you]

Because they gotta make sure. It's just common sense!

[galrarm]

[ fingerguns ]

It's a good thing I have plenty of self-control. They'd get fed every time they begged if I didn't.

[ Speaking of... Yukina seems to have picked up on the talk of food. Food?? She needs food or she'll DIE. Obviously, the best way to get food is to ask the new human who loves her. She trots over and

lonce... pls ]

[thegoofball]

[>:C]

What, you don't want a bunch of fat cats rolling around your fancy-shmancy spaceship temple?

[Gasp...she's so cute...!!]

And I think she's hungry.

[galrarm]

Considering they like to sleep and jump on me... not particularly.

[ Shiro huffs out a laugh. ]

I just fed her before I left today. It hasn't been that long.

[ Yukina gives the longest, most pitiful meow. No one loves her!! She's starving. ]

[thegoofball]

You don't appreciate them.

[smh...]

Uh, clearly it's been ages? Just listen to her.

[Lance is trying his best to be a bad influence.]

[galrarm]

[ Yukina mewls again, and she very dramatically flops over. See, Shiro? She's weak from hunger. ]

She's really laying it on thick today. I'm a little impressed.

[thegoofball]

[Lance is Totally Convinced.]

Whaaaat? This isn't an act, Shiro. This is hunger.

[galrarm]

Sure it is. And her breath probably doesn't still smell like salmon.

[ An indignant meow! Whatever they're talking about, she doesn't know, but it's keeping her from delicious food! ]

[thegoofball]

It smells like despair.

[Lance is...not helping.]

[galrarm]

You are a terrible influence. I hope you know that.

[ But he doesn't sound mad at all!! ]
