Take Your Tradition and Shove It

Who: Nami and you
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Bloodsport / Space Bar, Iskaulit
When: Now-ish

[Nami sleeps in an hour past the start of her shift at the Space Bar because the Atroma have always had such excellent timing.  When she finally blinks awake, all icy sweat and teary-eyed, she spends a good few minutes slowly convincing herself it was just a bad dream, not actual, y'know, memories, which is a pretense that lasts all the way until she sits up and catches sight of herself in the mirror.

Welp.

There's no definites, on either side.  That's something to think about.  She checks the time and date on her comm, realises she's only lost an extra half day, and pings the bar staff on duty to let them know she's running late.  She can have her depressing existential crisis later.  Runs through the shower and skids out into the cargo bay with her hair still damp and her backpack over her shoulder and--

And--????

There's a giant thing staggering around in here with yellow feathers sticking out awkwardly from the most godawful wrapping paper she's ever seen--]

[Indignant Video]

Hey!  [This here's a redhead with a lot more hair this morning, looking pissed.]  Who the hell left the giant bird in our cargo bay?  You can't just wrap a living creature in that much--

KWAAA!?

[She breaks off, startled, to glance over her shoulder at the crackling sound and sudden rumbling of something heading this way.  It's a wildebeest herd  And then has just enough time for a shriek before the comm goes flying , which means maybe all you get after that is a blur of yellow feathers and pink flamingo wrapping paper that's on fire (who giftwrapped the electric bird seriously) and a whole lot of joyful bird sounds who just ran over his favourite navigator sort of accidentally, but that's Biri for you.  JFC, bird.

Muffled and in the distance, after a few moments--]


...never mind.  I'm gonna be later.

[She recognises him now the wrapping paper has kind of burnt to ash, that's for sure.  Ow.]

-------

[She will eventually get to the Space Bar with all due apologies, so you can catch up with her there.  Or order a drink.  She's in a better mood than when she woke up, at least.  Giant idiot birds will do that to you.  Even if they singe your hair a little at the same time.]

So that is . . . normal?

[dear god, she would have set it on fire]

Yeaaah I could tell. Is the electric thing normal?

What the hell...buncha assholes, [Cloud mutters, helping to brush soot from Biri's feathers even when the idiot bird's big dumb bill gets in the way.] Probably thought they were being cute.

action (space bar)

[Mon-El is wiping down the bar when he hears her walk in.] Welcome. Oh, it's... [Pausing because it is Nami, but there is more of her.]

How fast does hair grow where you're from? [She must be cutting it constantly.]

"Might" calm down. [find multiple targets instead, it sounds like instant entertainment]

I've been fine, I suppose. And yourself? Other than the obvious, of course.

[Well, okay then. Placing her hand on Biri, she lightly rubs his head.] Nice to meet you, Biri. I'm Kaname.

[With a glance to Nami, she nods.]

A little iffy about this planet, huh?

[Sam is at least entirely prepared for her when she arrives at the space bar - both with the likelihood that she went home (he sees that long hair, Nami), and also with the whole... electric bird thing. Oh, good, he thinks. Because he also has a new bird. Or, uh. Sort of bird. A much more well-mannered one, albeit a bit hot-tempered when baited. Like Nami.

Gracie the fairy is floating around happily in the bar, content to be reunited with Sam straight out of Adstringendum. He looks up from his work the moment Nami stops in, smiling sympathetically.]


.... You've had a hell of a day, huh?

[She nods, letting hand drop from the bird's head.]

Yes, we are. Do you think the snow would be taking too much of a chance with him?

I don't know about harmless. It is far too cold for my tastes.

[that's it, that's the only reason she doesn't like it here]
spacebro: (Worried - Hopes this is okay)

[personal profile] spacebro 2018-01-02 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow. [Not the first time he's been around someone who experienced it. He imagines it would be weird at best.] Are you okay?

[Silly boss apologizing for being late.]
moseyin: ('please give me a number')

[personal profile] moseyin 2018-01-02 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Soot shower is totally fine, as long as it gets off this guy. Bathing a giant bird is like 100000000 times more annoying than bathing oneself, after all. Plus Cloud is enjoying ruffling his feathers and just pampering Biri in general.] What's he eat? Greens or somethin'? I can help out.

That is definitely not a bird like I've seen before.

[Not that he might not later, as he's been seeing some pretty unusual things since leaving Earth, but still... for now? Definitely weird.]

Does it like hair or something?
