[Sometimes, Caster just hangs out around in her spiritual form, invisible and just watching people. Sometimes, she does wander the ship, or depart it for the worlds where she can enjoy nature.

Today, though, she's doing neither of these things. Today, she's carrying Clay's fox around in her arms, and they appear to be talking to each other. Or, at least, Clay's fox makes fox noises, and Caster responds normally. It's about like hearing one half of a conversation. And, of course, when Caster spots someone, the fox yips, and Caster fixes you with a judgmental look.]

Eh, really? Is that so?

[Apparently the fox can talk to foxes. Who knew?]

[Kaworu's time on the Vanquish is, lately, dedicated to beautification. Or, what he considers to be as much. There's some of the routine stuff: he adds pretty things to places here and there aboard the ship. His idea of pretty things ranges from something expected—plant life, colorful streamers, and ... glitter—to things a little more unusual. For example, he can sometimes be found placing rocks of various sizes in various places. He always does it with a soft and wondrous smile.

Though, he's doing everything with a soft and wondrous smile, lately. Kaworu's been one for smiling in the first place, but discerning people may notice that these days, he's positively over the moon. As it were. So there's the glitter and there are the rocks, but there are other things, too... Lately, he's been trying to cook. Or... something? He mixes together a great array of flavors, but it's only once in a while that his efforts turn out better than a nuclear disaster. Perhaps that's to be expected, but... he does eat every dish, every time. No complaints from him aside from murmurs about how some mysterious individual (not so mysterious if you've listened to him babble about Shinji Ikari) may or may not like it.

So endeavors like these are common right now, and it will be easy for you to find Kaworu puttering around with stars in his eyes. Whether you catch him decorating or "cooking", he will probably be humming—Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Beethoven, and even... the Beatles?]

[Clay's just minding his own business, putting together a quick snack to munch on before he gets back to work on analyzing the data he got from the planet and from the Institute. Then he hears a familiar nip, then a voice as he turns to look at them, his smile fading just enough to compliment the confused expression on his face.]

Uh... what?

[castrationfist]

Heavens me. Oh, it's nothing.

[She covers her mouth with one of her sleeves, but still manages to look scandalized.]

[geonomy]

[... Yeah, he's totally falling for it. He looks between Caster, then Cosmic, then Caster again.]

... What, can you understand him?

[castrationfist]

Of course I can. Did you think a fox can't talk to another fox?

[judgment intensifies.]

Well, it's a good thing Cosmic is so fond of you.

[You can find Katie surprisingly on the bridge in the last days of February, Licorice perched on her shoulder and both of them staring intently out at all the stars beyond.

The more time wears on, the more disappointed she looks. Inasmuch as it's very dramatic disappointment and she sighs heftily after a while if someone's in earshot, tucking into a can of tuna.]

[geonomy]

[...]

W... What'd he say?

[castrationfist]

Do you think I'm a gossip?

[she's pouting now.]

[huaaaaagh]

(A) voice; to clay)

Clay! Hey, Clay, do you have a minute!?

[HE JUST REMEMBERED A THING]


(B) action; on the vanquish )

[He's visiting! Yeah that's it. Come pester at will.]

[geonomy]

Come on, you can't just say stuff like that and not share!

[He's also pouting now.]

[castrationfist]

I'm sure Cosmic would tell you if you simply asked.

[geonomy]

[He actually considers it for a second... before he frowns]

I can't understand fox, I wouldn't know what he's saying!

voice;

[geonomy]

Huh? Yeah, what's up?

[WHAT UP BABY BRO]

[castrationfist]

Have you tried? Many times, it's less a matter of not understanding and more of not listening.

[geonomy]

[... ... ... ... ...

SIGH. Fine. He'll walk over to the two of them, lean down until his hands are on his knees, then look at Cosmic in the eye.]

What are you saying, little guy?

[Despite the look on his face, his tone is still light and gentle, how he normally talks to Cosmic.]

[castrationfist]

[honestly, what he's probably saying something along the lines of Caster being a weirdo.

But she's not translating so hey Clay doesn't need to know that.]

Well?

voice;

[huaaaaagh]

[omg nO]

Do you know if you have a rapier in that room of weapons on your ship?

voice;

[geonomy]

A rapier? Uh... I think there's some, yeah! You wanna check them out?

voice;

[huaaaaagh]

Please, if you don't mind! It's really important!

[geonomy]

[Aaaaaand...]

Nope. Nothing. [He gives a half smile while he reaches to scritch behind Cosmic's ears] It's okay, you did your best! You're still the finest fox in the universe!

voice;

[geonomy]

[Oh wow, well if it's really important...]

Then come on over! Vanquish is always open for you!

voice > action;

[huaaaaagh]

On my way!

[He may be exaggerating the importance, considering how rarely fighting happens here, but it's important to someone that's important to him, so. To the Vanquish!

He'll be arriving shortly after, still using his Spriggan avatar, which is actually pretty unusual for him off-planet.]

action;

[geonomy]

[And Clay will be waiting for him in the docking bay to greet him. When Kirito arrives, Clay pauses for a second to take in the Spriggan avatar, then gives a big smile as he lifts his hand in a wave.]

Hey Kirito! Decided to change your look again?

action;

[huaaaaagh]

Huh? Oh-

[He glances down, offering up a sheepish smile.]

I guess since Asuna got here it's sort of become a habit. With her stuck in the Undine avatar, I didn't want her to feel out of place or anything.
