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 ♥ ]

[he's in a titter over here.]

i should probably wait until you're older to let you know. though i hear some people are into that.

[walksonrooftops]

I'm twenty years old.

[And plenty mature, in some ways. In all the ways that ensure his survival, at least.]

That's not old enough?

[tailcrook]

Is eighteen old enough?

[If it isn't, would Asato tell him about it...?]

[heltersskelter]

you definitely gotta be 21. sorry boys.

[that's not true but he's enjoying fucking with them.]

[walksonrooftops]

[And Asato has no idea he's being fucked with.]

But...But I really want to know what it is.

[Because it could either be something really bad, or something really good. It does have a nice ring to it, either way.]

[tailcrook]

[He doesn't know any better, either, and honestly looks disappointed.]

How would we be stars if we don't know...?

[Not that fame of any kind is a dream of his, but. Still.]

[heltersskelter]

so are they real?

[walksonrooftops]

The ears?

[He reaches up and tweaks one of his own.]

Yes. We need them to hear.

[heltersskelter]

that's totally weird.

[tailcrook]

[At least his are the right color now, or that would have hurt, man.]

They're not for us... it's normal.

[heltersskelter]

so are you like from planet of the cats or something?

[walksonrooftops]

Yes we are. Mostly.

[Deadpan answer, because it seems obvious to him.]

[heltersskelter]

mostly?

[walksonrooftops]

There are some other things too. Like animals and monsters. But it's mostly cats.

[heltersskelter]

so this human ship thing is probably totally beyond you guys huh?

[walksonrooftops]

Human ship?

[A look of confusion. Now what is he talking about?]

[heltersskelter]

yeah. Tranquility or whatever. it's a human ship. with humans on it.

[walksonrooftops]

Oh. Yeah, that's not something we've seen before. But there are not-humans here too, aren't there?

[heltersskelter]

not many from the sounds of it.

[tailcrook]

[Speaking up again, Konoe's simply curious more than suspicious.]

How... are there so many humans here?

[heltersskelter]

idk you'll have to ask one of those guys with the lists
but just from looking around
i'd say 80% of us are human

[walksonrooftops]

But the trolls are here. They're not human.

[tailcrook]

[He was content to sit quietly amazed at how different a number that is until Asato makes him turn to him instead - ]

What...?

[walksonrooftops]

They look like devils. They have grey skin and orange horns.

[He turns his attention back to the other person speaking with them.]

You've seen them, haven't you?

[heltersskelter]

well yeah but that's like
what
a handful
