[Yep it's pigs now. A panda, a cat, a pig, and once upon a time a Pokemon, so yep, Crowley is right again. This sleepy pig is blinking up at him, grunting as he tries to figure out why this foot isn't as comfortable as the one he was sleeping against before. Might as well climb on up though, right? Saizou rears up on his hind legs and rests his front hooves on Crowley's pant leg. Pick him up, please.]

Buki buki...

[onlyanapple]

[Absolutely not. Crowley gives him a LOOK. He wonders why animals always gravitate towards him. What he did to deserve this fate.]

No. I'm not picking you up. Bugger off to whoever owns you.

[ahappylie]

[It's because he's surrounded by plants. He feels nurturing.

Also, because fate is a jerk and wants to be rude to Crowley at every given opportunity.

The pig blinks, suddenly realizes that this isn't in fact his owner, and is jolted wide awake. This is supremely unfortunate for Crowley because now he's going to get angry. And he's like a little pink Hulk.]

Buki buki buki!!

[He raises back and goes into full headbutt mode, trying to slam his face right into Crowley's leg.]

[onlyanapple]

[It's more likely that last one if we're gonna be honest here.

But not the tiny big is headbutting him, Crowley hisses raising his legs up on his chair in an attempt to escape its piggy wrath.]

Oi! Bugger off, you little shite!

[ahappylie]

[Indeed it seems that Fate has decided to be rude af right now with no apologies. Saizou starts snorting and backs up, getting ready to launch himself at Crowley's face when--
]

Saizou! Down!

[Okita suddenly appears at the doorway, a little winded from having sprinted down the hall when he heard the squealing start. Distracted, the piglet turns and leaps into his owner's arms instead, rooting down into the folds of cloth.]

Are you alright, Crowley-san? I hope he didn't hurt you.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley gives a soft, annoyed 'tsk'. ]

No, he didn't. Is he yours? He's irritating.

[ahappylie]

He's a grumpy thing sometimes.

[Okita pats the top of Saizou's head and the pig gives a muffled and indignant snort.]

He wandered off after a nap and must not have been fully awake.

[That being said? Okita steps a little closer and looks at the console.]

Are you working on something important?

[onlyanapple]

I noticed.

[Not that Crowley would know anything about that of course. ]

I don't know, it depends on how you define important. I would say it's more...interesting than important. Kinda.

[ahappylie]

[Crowley could neeeeever be accused of being grumpy. Ever.]

Oh?

[His augment didn't help him understand the complexities of space age communications arrays, but he can see that Crowley is looking something up at least.]

How so? [A beat, and then his smile twinges at the corners with amusement.]

Are you spying on people?

[onlyanapple]

[Not ever, gosh!!!]

I most certainly am. I'm looking for some interesting gossip.

[He's not even sorry. ]

[ahappylie]

[Banish the thought!!]

Ooh, have you found anything?

[He's just going to set himself down right next to Crowley however he can because he is SO HERE for gossip, okay. He's 100% on board with spying on people if it gets him something interesting.]

There has to be something on this Fleet with so many people trapped here, right?

[onlyanapple]

[If there's one thing that Crowley can approve of, it's a gossiper. Good job, worm into his good graces that way. ]

Exactly. Aside from a few relationship bumps, most of it seems to be private. Buuuut that doesn't mean we can't try to hack it.

[ahappylie]

[He's so glad that he's not the only busybody gossiper on this ship.]

And being a communications officer, that should be relatively easy for you, hm~?

[He is 500% down with this.]

Who is in your cross-hairs right now?

[onlyanapple]

Precisely. It's the perfect position for me.

Eh, no one in particular. I'm looking for anything good to build from.

[ahappylie]

[He kneels down and lets Saizou into his lap, balancing on the balls of his feet as he looks over the console.]

Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping you'd already have something to share.

[Okita puffs his cheeks out a little, chin in hands.]

With everyone so spread out here, it's hard to keep track of all the good or bad news going around.

[onlyanapple]

It really is. You never know, something interesting might happen soon and the gossip will be everywhere.

[ahappylie]

[That perks him up a little.]

If you hear something interesting, will you tell me? Gossip is always better when it's shared.

[onlyanapple]

You have my word, and I happen to be a demon who always keeps his word.

[ahappylie]

[Well then! He grabs Saizou again and sets the surprised and now disgruntled piglet on the top of the console before standing up with a twirl.]

It might seem strange, but I do trust you to keep it. I'll leave you to your searching then. [With Saizou now staring at him.] Find me if you find something?

[onlyanapple]

[He gives a lazy salute. ]

Sure will. Enjoy your pig.

[ahappylie]

Oh, I thought I'd leave him here with you for some company. [Saizou grunts again, clearly displeased with that idea.]

You two should learn to get along since you'll be living together.

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley doesn't have anything to say to that. He does have a very lovely and delicate one-fingered salute for that, instead! ]

[ahappylie]

[If he knew what that meant, he might be offended, but instead he just waves back and skips off down the hall. Saizou looks at Crowley for a moment as if sharing a moment of empathy with him. It's hard dealing with Okita, he knows.

Then he oinks and slides down the console, hitting just about every button on his way down, before running off down the hall after his owner.]

[onlyanapple]

[HE'LL REMEMBER THIS SLIGHT, PIG!!!!]
