Primus [Video]

[walksonrooftops]

[It's been some days before Konoe's decided to ask about how the communication device works, and turning it on for the first time, he still has little idea of what he wants to do with it. So here's a view of him, blinking back and tipping his head a bit, wondering what he's supposed to look for.]

Now what...?

Say things!

[Asato appears behind him, ears alert and eyes bright. He's had his own share of troubles with the communicators, so he wants to help Konoe with this as much as he can.]

Now Konoe can say or ask anything, to anyone on the ship.

Oh... [Suddenly he seems worried, turning to him quickly - ] Should I have asked something first?

I don't think there's any "should" to it. [He moves in so his own face is in view, shoulder-to-shoulder with Konoe.] If there's something important that Konoe wants to tell people, or something you want to find out...A lot of people here don't understand things the way Ribika do.

[Konoe frowns, eyes sliding back to the screen. His own ears turn downward just a little. Maybe he should've waited a bit longer....]

I'll... think of something. Unless....

[His ears go upright again, a newfound determination in his face.]

If - Asato's here, too, so - if anyone's got something to ask us...!

Right!

[Asato smiles and nods in agreement.] Konoe knows a lot about lots of things. Just don't be mean to him! We only want to help. [He frowns towards the screen as if in warning, but does so only briefly before turning and nudging his head against the smaller Ribika, and--is he purring?

He's purring. This is a thing Ribika do.

They're a bit of a weird race sometimes.]

You don't have to - Asato, cut it out -

[His attempt to move the bigger cat off is half-hearted at best. The sound even makes him smile a bit, but not enough to distract him from his message.]

I mean, I don't know everything but... yeah, that's all.

[And once more, he whispers aside.]

What do you do when you're done? I think I'm done....

Button.

[He pushes it for Konoe to show him, and it cuts off the feed at that point.]

[ooc; this is a joint post from the friendly neighborhood Ribika IN SPAAAACE/cats who are not good with computer. Konoe is in brown, Asato in blue! Both will answer comments as they see fit; if a comment is to just one of them, please specify ♥ ]

[ Chase is amazed. She perks up at the sight of the two-cat people, immediately clicking the button for video. ]

Hello, Konoe! I explained how they work to Asato. He's gotten very good at it, hasn't he?

[ OH MY GOD CAT PEOPLE CHASE IS SQUEALING INTERNALLY OKAY. ]

Re: [ video ]

[tailcrook]

[An answer already! Konoe thinks he knows how to respond... yes! She's greeted with a smile.]

Hello again! Asato's told me a lot about it, thanks for teaching him!

[He gives him an amused glance over his shoulder before coming back to Chase.]

Have you taught him other things, too?

[ KONOE YOU ARE SO CUTE, CHASE CAN'T HANDLE YOU. ]

I'm not sure! I like to think I've helped his acclimation to space. Ribika have never been, correct?

[tailcrook]

[He nods, slightly unsure of what's making her so happy. But it's endearing.]

He knows a lot more than I do, I think so! We've kept to the land, mostly....

[the_vishual]

I think I'd like to see your world. Are they all cat people?

[video]

[sweetmotherofgod]

I have a question.

Would it be politically incorrect of me to want to scritch your ears? Just hypothetically.

[video]

[walksonrooftops]

[Said ears twitch at the question, and Asato looks down to Konoe, then back to the screen.]

I've had people touch mine before. I don't know what's so interesting about it, but for me it's okay. I just don't like when people don't ask first.

[tailcrook]

[Konoe nods once at his side.]

Asking is better....

[ Heather raises her hands, palms up. ]

Hey, I hear you on that. Grabby people suck.

You guys are-

[ don't say adorable don't say adorable don't say adorable]

-old friends, huh?

[video]

[walksonrooftops]

No, actually!

[It's a bit of an odd response, but Asato is all smiles as he says this.]

Konoe and I met not very long ago, in our world. Because he isn't a cat from my village.

[tailcrook]

[It feels longer for himself, but they haven't had that talk yet....]

I'm from Karou, and Asato is from Kira.

[video]

[sweetmotherofgod]

But Konoe arrived after you? You got here first?

[ Her tone might be a little sharp here; if she sounds needy, she doesn't mean to be impolite. ]

voice;

[entrapments]

I think that might actually be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[tailcrook]

[She's not talking about the two of them, is she?]

Cute...?

[entrapments]

[ i am so sorry. ]

Yeah, you know how people watch those videos of cats on youtube for hours to like, cheer up and stuff? This was way more gratifying.

[tailcrook]

[Such a new world - he's just getting a grasp on what video is, himself.]

Not really... people watch cats to be happy?

[This one hasn't had the best experience with being watched....]

[entrapments]

Well, not everyone, but mostly it's like, older women who send chain letters and people who spend too much time on the internet and don't have real friends.

But you know, whatever works, right?

[Headtilt, eartwitch. He squints down at the letter for a moment, but can't make sense of this message.]

Why do you think that?

text; i am so sorry

[heltersskelter]

idk it was a while ago but the cat ears are ringing a bell.

[video]

[walksonrooftops]

Maybe you saw some other ribika.

What's a porno, by the way?

[cat people meet crow person]

Holy shit who let the cats out of the bag, should have decked it out with cement all mafia style at the bottom of a river bank.

[video foreverrr]

[walksonrooftops]

[Staaaare. How do you do, crow person.]

The river bank? What?

[rectified]

[warning contains feathery asshole]

What never seen The Sopranos. Mafioso techniques you know. Dumped in rivers, lakes, fine how about ocean.

ditto!

[tailcrook]

[Short and sweet - and loud, this one.]

No!
