Re: Cheese Sandwich - OTA

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa is spending as much time on this planet as possible, particularly in the forests. The biggest annoyance she's encountered so far - if it can even be an annoyance - is being periodically covered in fluffs. She's walking away from a tree she was just sitting in, carefully extricating herself from the fuzzy accessories.]

[Her already good mood from being in a Green Place is heightened by the fuzzies, and she smiles when she sees Cheese.]

Hi. Enjoying yourself?

[preformthisneigh]

[Cheese grins when he sees her, trotting over to talk to his friend. Hey, friend, hey!]

Hi, Furiosa! I sure am. This planet is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the last one. We can breathe the air and everything! How are you liking it.

[Being surrounded in slugs. ]

Making friends with the local wildlife?

[kill_switch]

I am, [She's still got one hanging out on her shoulder, but instead of plucking him off, she reaches up to gently stroke his back with the tip of one of her prosthetic fingers. There is a tiny likelihood that one of these things is going to make it onto to ship with her.]

Of all the places we've visited since I've been with the Fleet, this has been my favorite.

[preformthisneigh]

[Do it, Furiosa. Spread the slug love. ]

I think you might be right. I hope we stay here a while.

[If they're only here for a short time after being stuck on that Celestia-forsaken poison world for so long he ain't gonna be happy. ]

[kill_switch]

We'd better.

[If they never hit another poisoned moon or planet, she'd be happy.] How have you been doing, Cheese?

[preformthisneigh]

[He brightens considerably. ]

Really, really, really great! My best friend came from home, I really missed her so it's been...pretty awesome having her back.

How about you?

[kill_switch]

Pinkie, right? I'm glad you've got a friend here from home, it's nice to have someone who knows the struggles of your own world.

[Not that ... Cheese's world involves struggles anything like Furiosa's ...]

[preformthisneigh]

[Nope. Well...90% of the time anyway. ]

It sure is. It had been a looooooooooooooooooooong time since I saw another pony. I'm super lucky it's her of all of them that are here.

[kill_switch]

[Better 10% than 100%]

Are there some ponies you don't get along with? [Shocking.]

[preformthisneigh]

I guess? I'm not as sociable as Pinkie is. I tend to do my party thing then move on.

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa chuckles.] You're far more sociable than most of the people I know.

[But of course, she knows people like Max, soooooo .... yeah.]

[preformthisneigh]

Weeellll~ You might have a point there. But by pony standards, I'm definitely a loner.

[Herd animals, and all that. ]

[kill_switch]

[She hmms thoughtfully, nodding. That's right, she's met Pinkie Pie, having two representatives isn't much of a comparison but she thinks she can see his point.]

By choice? Or circumstance?

[preformthisneigh]

[He carefully considers his answer. Or rather, how much he wants to divulge. He's still bitter that Atroma put his past on show for people, it's a private matter, and not something he likes to talk about. But a lot more people know it now because of the Calibrations. ]

...A little of both. I didn't have anypony growing up, so I kind of...got used to it.

[kill_switch]

[She watches him carefully, acknowledging that she's treading into sensitive area. She'd be careful; if he hesitated, she wouldn't push. But, she's curious now.]

No parents?

[preformthisneigh]

[He hesitates for a moment, before deciding to indirectly avoid the question. ]

I ran away when I was a colt. I've been on my own for a long time.

[kill_switch]

I hope you found it a better situation.

[She'll drop it, here; it's starting to feel too invasive and remind her of her own run as well.]

[preformthisneigh]

[That's good of her, he appreciates that. ]

Yeah, and it all turned out okay in the end, so I can't complain.

How're you enjoying the planet? Have you gone to the magical tree yet?

[kill_switch]

I wouldn't be upset if the Marsiva left us here. [This is by far her favorite place, and the only thing that could have made it better were to have the Wives and the remaining Vuvilani with her.]

I haven't visited the tree yet. Haven't quite made up my mind about magic.

[preformthisneigh]

It's pretty nice. I mean, they're never gonna let us go. But it'd be a nice thought.

[Some residual Paradisa-based bitterness creeping in there, don't mind him.]

I have! I got a teeny tiny version of my party tank when I visited with Pinkie. She got her gator. It's pretty harmless, it just makes you feel good.

[kill_switch]

No, they're not. [Which is why she's trying to spend as much time as possible on this particular planet.]

... party tank?

[preformthisneigh]

YEAH!

[From his hammer space, he pulls out a little red and blue tank. He presses a button and it releases some streamers and confetti into the air.]

The one I have at home is way bigger, but this one it pretty awesome, too.

[kill_switch]

[How is he doing this all without thumbs she will never quite understand]

[She jumps slightly at the release of the confetti and streamers, because she's used to canons shooting off slightly different and far more fatal projectiles.]

That's ... pretty impressive, actually. [That someone would have that kind of technology and use it to shoot out bits of colored paper.]

[preformthisneigh]

[NEVER QUESTION IT, FURIOSA, DON'T DO IT. ]

I know right? Pinkie has her cannon too, though she had it when she arrived. Now we can really put parties together in no time at all.

[kill_switch]

[FINE SHE'LL GIVE UP ON YOUR HORSE PEOPLE AND YOUR HORSE MAGIC]

I guess we could do with more parties.
