Where Trash World Rules Are Concerned

[scalpelofmarmora]

Who: Ulaz and YOU!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: various
When: Anytime while in system

Option 1: Scrapheap
[Ulaz could be found a lot of the time at the piles of junk on this planet. With so many projects to work on and a big one being Shiro's arm so that he didn't have that problem anymore, he needed a lot of supplies. Luckily he was a big guy and not likely prone to people trying to take things from him.

It seemed to be a worth while endeavor at least. He was finding a lot of things that he could use]

Option 2: Blameless
[Some of Ulaz's supplies from scavenging were squirreled away in his room because he didn't want to leave them out. Some, however, had been temporarily moved to the lounge space on the Blameless whenever he found himself with a moment.

From previous discussions with Death over on the Caprine, he had decided to try his hand at building something for Loyalty, Justice's cat. He had taken some time during the drift to read up on the tiny felines - especially since one kept coming in trying to chew on things in his lab - and he was prepared to try a solution that might keep her mildly distracted.

So he was currently seated on the floor of the lounge trying to put together pieces to make something of a "cat tree". There were also length of rope next to him and what must have been once some carpeting, but he wasn't ready for those yet.

Help him? Hinder him? Keep him company while he works? Your call!]

Option 3: Junker Racing
[He had mentioned it to only a few people since he had been here, but Ulaz had, in his youth, been quite a daredevil. Most however, didn't really know that.

But in the course of his investigations of the planet, he found the junker racing. Ah... youth. But he couldn't seem to tear himself away from watching it...]

Closed to Lyall: Arena
[He couldn't quite be sure how of their frequent conversations circled around to it, but it had. Probably the arena had come up somewhere along the line and it had sparked the conversation. Seemed the most likely.

Ulaz had been curious for sometime about the actual physical capabilities of a werewolf, but wasn't sure if it was polite to ask a gentleman when they tried to maintain a certain air eighty-night percent of the time.

Lyall was apparently frustrated after his glitch, as beat up as he had been. Understandable.

So it had been decided they were going to face off in the arena. It was not the venue Ulaz would have thought Lyall would pick, but who was he to complain. It had intrigued him too much to worry about it for too long.

Here they were, in the arena. Ulaz could have worn his full armor, but he had decided to keep it more fair, only the suit he worry under it. It was the most superficial of protection. But it wasn't a slight against what he thought Lyall could do; the tradition of palen bol meant Galra were notorious gluttons for pain, seeing it as an opportunity for growth. He did however have one of his swords. He didn't intend to use it, but if found he did, he'd have it]

Whenever you are ready.

[Lyall would have the first move]

[Ulaz knows Shiro is ready for a new arm, but supplies for one had been limited at the time. Now that they were plentiful, there was the inevitable waiting while they gathered, organized, and put together. Ulaz's specialty would be more in the some of the finer details of movement and the connection that would allow Shiro to operate it. That however required the arm in near completion. He knew how to do it; it wasn't something that required practicing, but it was something to work on nearer to when it was going to be used to prevent the connection for being damaged and having to start over.

He glanced up at Shiro as he walked in]

I am working on something that may mitigate Loyalty's chewing on inappropriate objects. A "cat tree" I believe they call it.

[padadin]

[He pulls a face when he hears that Loyalty is still chewing on inappropriate objects. Justice was supposed to train her! He sighs as he comes closer for a better look.]

Justice should've taught her better by now... but yeah, a cat tree will probably help. Where do you get the idea from?

[Because he doubts Galra have "cat trees".

...or do they?

Is why Keith was so angry when he was younger, did he need something to scratch?]

[scalpelofmarmora]

Agreed, but it doesn't hurt to help, especially since it seems to be boredom.

I got the idea from Death. [A short pause for effect] He's one of the crewmen on the Caprine. After speaking with him, I read information on cats in the library. We both thought it might help distract Loyalty from chewing.

[padadin]

[Ah, right. Death his here. Shiro has seen him on the network, and he still isn't sure what to make of it. Becoming a Paladin and later being brought here has made Shiro able not to be surprised at much. But that's still... you know... Death.

And apparently Death likes cats. Gosh.]

I hope it works. Pets do need entertainment and exercise, but I'm not sure how different an alien leopard may be from regular cats. Why isn't Justice taking care of this?

[scalpelofmarmora]

I'm sure he is doing his best, but following around a cat all day is impossible so if she is ignoring him, it will obviously be when he can't correct her. So this is going to have other options for her.

[padadin]

Is he? [His tone clearly says he doesn't buy it. The conversation he had with Justice about it still bothers him. But Ulaz is just trying to do something nice, and Shiro doesn't want to rain on his parade. So he lets it go... for now.] You may want to put it in a high place. Cats like that.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz will leave it there. He can tell Shiro doesn't think that Justice doing the best he can with it] I was thinking about doing that. She might like being able to see everything going on around her.

[padadin]

I think it's more about them liking to climb high places. [His experience with cats is limited but some things everyone knows.] I actually would recommend you to put it somewhere where there isn't much going on so she isn't a bother.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I wouldn't put it somewhere a lot of activity is usually going on. If nothing else then it will be in the way of others trying to work.

[Even if it would now give her a better vantage point to bother things]

I am still thinking about the options for where it should be.

[padadin]

[In Justice's room, he wants to say, but the poor cat needs more space than that.]

The cargo hold should be spacious enough and wouldn't bother many people. We can move it out for a couple of days when the full moon comes.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Yes, Ulaz agrees the cat needs more space than that]

It would. Not much goes on in there though. A corner of the kitchen may work because there will be things for her to watch. And if it doesn't work where it is placed, it can be moved.

[padadin]

I don't think the kitchen is a good idea. With how disobedient she is, we can't be sure she won't jump to steal food. [He expects anything from that cat by now.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

Hmm... that is also true. The lounge?

[He's trying to come up with options that were more centrally located so the cat can have something to see]

[padadin]

[He thinks about that for a few seconds before nodding.] Since it would only be for a few days, that works.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Then we can put it in there, see if she is interested in it.

[If she took to it, then they can go from there. Also if she took it in a central location, she might still look for it in another]
