Llama 22, Evening, Voice

[fivemilesdeep]

[Ryo gets on the ICPs the evening of the visit to the Nexus with a warning - better to share what he's learned than to let someone get hurt, even if the implications are...a little embarrassing.]

Be careful with the nectar pods if you eat them - the glowing liquid doesn't come off without a few good washes, and evidently it attracts one of the really big fish out there. Don't get any on you if you don't want to get...well, eaten.

Though if anyone wants to try to snare one of those fish, I...have bait you can use.

[Guess who painted glow in the dark designs on his hoodie because he was having fun. Guess who was lucky enough to get a warning before anything had the chance to snap him up. Guess.]

I do plan on going out and gathering more of the plants tomorrow to help with our food stores, if anyone with an arms band or another means of storage wants to join me.

Did you get to touch one? I want to touch one.

They're so majestic. I understand they attempt to murder and devour but they're big and adorable.

[katzenpfote]

I can help with gathering food. As long as you are not allergic to cats?

I KNEW IT! I KNEW THOSE THINGS WERE EVIL! NOTHING GOOD CAN EVER COME FROM THE OCEAN!

[ della plz. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

...no? The way the people here talked about it, most people don't survive running into them. I wouldn't recommend it.

[fivemilesdeep]

Thank you. And I'm not - is one of the cats on board yours?

[katzenpfote]

Sort of. I just summoned him again when we got here.

[fivemilesdeep]

[...UM]

I don't think they're evil, just...hungry.

Are you okay?

[sciencegirl]

Most people....

I wonder I someone incredibly strong could.

[Need to ask Trunks if he can get her horrible monstrous animal petting data.]

Okay I need to go back out there and take scans of the giant fish.

[fivemilesdeep]

...you summoned a cat.

[wat]

[fivemilesdeep]

[He's long since realized that some people on the train will get themselves into trouble regardless of what he does, and the best he can do is adequately prepare them.]

Don't go out there on your own, and if you want to get close to one, try baiting a snare trap with something covered in the glowing just don't get it on yourself.

And be careful.

[katzenpfote]

I suppose technically he's not really a cat. He's a fey creature, and we have a... I suppose you would call it a contract. I knew it was still active, but I needed materials to summon him back here.

... Or if that doesn't make sense, he is a magic cat and I needed to be able to call for him again.

[fivemilesdeep]

["Fey" is not a term Ryo is familiar with, though he gets the idea of a contract, but...honestly the latter explanation is more helpful.]

He must be magic, if he comes when called.

[Cats.]

[katzenpfote]

Definitely a lot more than my childhood cat, ja.

[sciencegirl]

Okay! I'll also be sure not to take anything too important in case I die, too.

Maybe I should put some sort of gps tracker on my scanner...

[Entrapta will probably survive as a force of chaos and unwitting generator of responsible intervention. It'll be okay.]

[fivemilesdeep]

[That is a bit too cavalier for his liking.]

Or just don't die?

[fivemilesdeep]

I look forward to meeting him.

[sos_pilot]

What? I'm fine. I'm totally fine... We're in a gross world, surrounded by gross things, twenty-four seven, THIS IS FINE.

[sciencegirl]

I usually don't, but I should really be prepared for all possibilities.

[sirentologist]

Oooo could we use it to lure one in for study? I wonder if the pods could be used for other things? Oh, could they be weaponized?

[SO MUCH SCIENCE]

[fivemilesdeep]

[...yeah she's not fine.]

It's only for a few days.

Can you find something you like about it in the meantime? Maybe focus on that?

[fivemilesdeep]

[Yeah it's a good thing the camera is off, because his expression is certainly Something. He's heard some cavalier dismissals of one's own health before, but...come on. Come on.]

Okay, as one of the local healers: don't die.

[fivemilesdeep]

[Boy that is a lot all at once.]

Maybe, possibly, and they're edible and taste like apple pie, so they're probably better off as food instead of weapons?

[morganizedchaos]

Bring whatever you catch back on board and I'll get something figured out with it. I'm sitting this one out, the weird water-air thing isn't treating me well.

[So he's got a lot of downtime in the kitchen, is what he's saying.]

[sos_pilot]

... Buddy, it's like asking to me find something I like in a bucket of puke.

[sirentologist]

If the fish eat things coated in that nectar, that can be incredibly useful. As a weapon. [Do keep up.]
