Hello from the Heron

[twosidedsword]

Who: Shin-Ah and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: For anyone on the Heron
When: Today!

[There's a new face on the Heron and she's decided that she wants to say hi to the Heron as well as to the entire Fleet! And, being the intelligent young lady that she is, she figures out Shin-Ah's communication devices to get a video broadcast going! Which means now everyone is treated to a screen full of her face.

She looks thrilled and actually starts waving at the screen before saying hello.]

P-kyuuuuuu! P-kyuuu!

[She's happy to meet you all!

It's at this time Shin-Ah (that strange mask of his sure is still on his face) notices and suddenly he can be seen on the screen reaching for her.]

Ah...Ao...

[She lets out another noise before running up his arm to go and sit on top of his shoulder, gently bapping his cheek as if to show everyone this is her person. Shin-Ah hands her a little nut before reaching over to end the recording.

So everyone on the Heron? You're sure to see this cute little squirrel around all the time now. Because she's Shin-Ah's friend and she goes almost everywhere he does. But she also loves to make friends and cuddle with other people too! Which means that she may end up in a room you're in before Shin-Ah can realize and follow after her.]

[Aww, is that a squirrel? How tiny and cute! Lup watches the broadcast in amusement, turns on the video, and sets the communicator down; a moment later, after she snaps her fingers, a little furry head pops into view, pawing at the screen in a makeshift wave. It's a little mongoose!]

[His lips form a little "o" as he watches her summon the mongoose. And Ao trills in excitement as she runs up to sit on top of Shin-Ah's head. There she dances around, even doing little flips for what she has decided is her new animal friend.]

[The mongoose cocks its head, watching the squirrel dance, then spins around in a circle as if chasing its tail. Lup grins, leaning into view.]

That's cute. Where'd you find it?

[twosidedsword]

[While they animals have fun chatting, he turns his attention to Lup.]

The tree. It gave Ao to me.

[necromanswers]

Ohhh, you found it, huh?

[She hasn't gotten around to it yet, herself. Oh well, good to know that it for-sure exists.]

I didn't know it could give out living creatures.

[jolting]

Looks like you made a friend.

[twosidedsword]

[Ao waves at him from where she's sitting on Shin-Ah's shoulder.]

She's from where I come from.

[She baps his face like "Yes. This is my boy. Right here."]

[jolting]

[He's more of a dog/cat person, but he can't help waving back at the squirrel anyway] Did she just arrive?

[twosidedsword]

The tree gave her to me. [Ao lets out a little trill at being waved to before jumping up to land on Shin-Ah's head. He seems very used to that so he just keeps his head still.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Well... Ulaz never thought he would be watching this. There is a tiny creature making a post. Finally Shin-Ah comes into view, the creature running over to him]

What interesting animal you have there.

[twosidedsword]

...thank you.

[Ao chirps at him and jumps onto Shin-Ah's head which he just allows without question.

Until she slides off like he's a slide and he fumbles until he catches her. She's a very energetic squirrel!]

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz almost looks like wants to try and catch the small thing, which he can't because this is video and he's on another ship. He waits until Shin-Ah has caught her before speaking again]

What kind of an animal is that?

[twosidedsword]

Ao is a squirrel.

[She nods and waves. Like hello that's right I'm a squirrel!]

[dreamvour]

[the mask is interesting, of course, but the cute squirrel is even more interesting. Please hold, she has to wave back. It's very important]

Ahh, it's cute . . .

[twosidedsword]

[Ao lets out the happiest trill that she's getting a wave back and baps Shin-Ah's face to show him her new friend. He nods so she knows he saw.]

...This is Ao.

[dreamvour]

[that brings a smile to her face, small but genuine]

It's nice to meet you, Ao. Who is your friend?

[because addressing the squirrel instead of the person is amusing]

video;

[twosidedsword]

Ah...I'm Shin-Ah.

[He doesn't appear the least bit thrown off that Ao is being addressed instead of him. Why wouldn't you address Ao instead? That makes sense!

Ao loves it too. She baps his cheek and then waves about before bapping him again. She's trying hard to show off her person!]

You know, the square shit in the kitchen isn't that bad. You don't need to resort to eating rats.

[ That's your dinner, right? That's why you have it. ]

[twosidedsword]

[Excuse him for looking confused. You can see that even with the mask on his face.]

Ao is a squirrel...

[miraclewhip]

Don't need to resort to eating squirrels, then. Barely any meat on there anyway.

[twosidedsword]

[Okay now he doesn't understand why this person thinks he'd eat Ao?]

Ao is my friend.

[aspearing]

[ How cute... Alisha can't help but smile at the sight of the squirrel before smiling all the more widely when Shin-Ah appears on screen. ]

Is that your friend? She seems fond of you.

[twosidedsword]

Ah...

[Oh. He should say something. He's not sure what to say. So...ah...mmm...]

Ao is my friend.

[There. He did it.]

[aspearing]

From home? ... If that's the case, I'm sure that you're happier to have the company with you.

[twosidedsword]

Mm. From home.

[He nods right away. Ao looks so proud of him and even pats his face like she is. Look at her Shin-Ah! He's talking to you!]
