recently canon reviewed; relatively new muse

[ub001]

You seem nervous.

Don't be. You can't do anything if you don't loosen up.

Now, [ She stretches. ] Shall we?

[fusedstars]

So you are arriving to the tower?

[ub001]

So it seems.

Are you there as well, Hei?

[fusedstars]

I am, unfortunately.

[ub001]

You don't like it?

[ Teasing; she knows the setting. ]

[fusedstars]

That should be obvious.

[ub001]

I see, I see. [ giggle. ]

How long have you been there?

[fusedstars]

Four months if I have done my math correctly. As for the original Hei before me, I have no idea. My mun said he was barely there for a month.

[ub001]

[ nodding! ]

Have you adjusted well? Made any friends? [ She knows how antisocial you can be. ]

[fusedstars]

I have, and am currently organizing a system to encourage and execute programs that can help educate the residents and hopefully bring them together.

[In a nutshell, make a school.]

[ub001]

Oh? what kind of programs do you have in mind?

1/2

[fusedstars]

That still needs to be sorted out with the others--

2/2

[fusedstars]

[And naturally to interrupt him was...his new pet, appearing on top of Hei's head and waving at Amber.]

[ub001]

[ Oh my, how cute! Waving back~ ]

One of your friends?

[fusedstars]

He was a regain after an event at the tower. [Hei doesn't sound too thrilled despite the creature's happiness.]

[ub001]

What's his name?

[ obviously ignoring Hei's discomfort. ]

[fusedstars]

...Mao.

[Yes, he seriously he named it that.]

[ub001]

[ What a great name. ]

May I? [ Reaching forward a little to pet! ]

[fusedstars]

Take him.

[He's more than eager to give the creature to someone else. Naturally, it acts cute and smiles at Amber while still held by Hei.]

[ub001]

You don't mind?

[fusedstars]

This creature craves attention and seems to like you anyway.

[ub001]

I don't see a problem then. What does he eat?

[fusedstars]

Anything really. But he can't eat past midnight.

[ub001]

What happens at midnight?

[fusedstars]

It turns into a gremlin.

[ub001]

I'll try to avoid that happening, then. [ she has no idea what a gremlin is it sounds bad though. ]

I assume you'll be handing him off to me when I arrive? [ headpats Mao gently. ]

[fusedstars]

No. As much as he likes attention, he still prefers to be in my care.

[ub001]

[ Presuming it's your cooking skills. If so she understands completely. ]

I shall make an effort to visit him often, then.

[fusedstars]

Why are you acting so calm about all of this anyway, regarding the tower and me?

[ub001]

Why wouldn't I be? [ better than being dead. ]

[fusedstars]

You do realize I am not the same Hei you know, right?

[Has a mogwai, longer hair, slightly friendlier even, most likely not fully the same.]

[ub001]

I am aware of that, yes. Do you think I should behave any differently around you than I would the Hei I know?

[ Well, less romantic but that's a given. ]

[fusedstars]

I...don't know.

[ub001]

Then I will behave as I would normally until you ask me to stop.

Is that okay?

[fusedstars]

Do whatever you want.

[ub001]

[ a soft giggle. ]

I intend to. Is there anything else I need to keep an eye out for that comes to mind, Hei?

[fusedstars]

If your mun has informed you of everything going on at the tower, then no.

[ub001]

Post-apocalyptic, a poor variety of dietary choices, and so on?

It wouldn't have been my first choice for a game.

[fusedstars]

I suppose it is better than being stuck in a facility, in space.

[And the mogwai nods at that statement.]
