Log [Action/Video]

[toujoursfluer]

[She wakes up in the middle of the forest. It is hard to tell what time of day it is but things seem to be more alive. Everything is moving. It is then she realizes she is somewhat...changed.]



[Well then, this is interesting. She tries to speak, but only comes out with a faint meow. How frustrating. Finding her journal she flips it open with a swipe of a paw, and sees that the writing function has been disabled. Of course it has. But you may, if you are fortunate, see a black cat staring down at you until she flips the book back shut, picks it up in her mouth and trots villagward.]

[Feel free to meet her any where, including journal pings. Replies will come from toujourschatte]

Action

[toujourschatte]

[She appreciates the distance and absently licks some ruffled fur back into place before answering]

Human but for Malnosso. [She regards him] And you are?

Re: Action

[spohkh]

[Fascinating... it was rather curious to observe a cat write... ]

Then this is an unfortunate occurrence for you....
I am Spock of Vulcan. I am relatively new year... I landed here approximately 2.3 months ago.

Do you require any assistance?

Action

[toujourschatte]

It is unfortunate, yes. But a byproduct of living in Luceti

[Spock. Not a name she knows. 2.3 months is oddly specific. Two months, three days, she supposes, though why should such an exact date matter here? As for his question...]

What kind of assistance do you give?

Re: Action

[spohkh]

[Though Spock had asked the question... He did not mind being specific.]

I offer to you any assistance that falls within general societal norms... medical aid, physical well-being and sustenance, transportation, and so on. However, I add to that any mental health issues, to a degree, that you may be experiencing.

[Spock says all of this with a 'straight face'... so he is not lying or joking.]

Action

[toujourschatte]

[She regards him for a moment. His voice is completely neutral and his expression is unreadable, unless of course there is nothing to read. She doesn't sense any kind of antagonism from him but still]

Are you usually this helpful?

[She's not particularly inclined to trust others. Even though you seem relatively harmless]

Re: Action

[spohkh]

[Spock raises an eyebrow...]

In the case of someone being offered assistance, it is usually the norm to reply in the negative or specify what you need assistance with. Having to point out what I can do may seem rather... excessive.

[Spock gives her a half-smile....]

May I inquire as to your name?

Action

[toujourschatte]

Why should I be restrained to the norm when the abnormal can be so much more satisfying?

[But still she concedes his point, if only because it takes too long to write]

Nico Robin. And I don't need assistance as such... but there seems to be plenty of dead around [She watches a ghost flit past]

Was there a massacre?

Re: Action

[spohkh]

[Spock's mind brings up images from the draft... but that had no effect in Luceti..]

[Spock bows his head....]
It is well to make your acquaintance Miss Robin.

[Spock follows her gaze to the ghost...]

Negative... a rather curious human tradition it seems. I believe I have heard it referred to as 'Halloween'...

As for the appearance of the paranormal beings... I have no answer. Perhaps yet another gift from the Malnosso.

Have you found it difficult to orient yourself to life as a feline? [Again, Spock was curious... if only he had his fully functioning tricorder on him...]

Action

[toujourschatte]

[Ah. Halloween. Was she gone that long? A ruffle rises along her fur. The last she remembers it was the beginning of the month. But--oh well there's no point in dwelling on that. She's here now. So the ghosts are like the moon and the masks then. They would fade in time with any luck]

I've only just become one. But it would be nice to be able to talk.

Re: Action

[spohkh]

Indeed, communication must be difficult. However, if you find that you need a translator, I can also help you in that. [Spock is starting to think that perhaps he is offering too much to this being... however... he may never be able to refuse a cat.]

Action

[toujourschatte]

[. . . ]

It seems you have a lot of time on your hands, Vulcan-san.

[Wryness doesn't translate well, she finds. But that's neither here nor there.]

Thank you for the offer, but as you can see, I can write well enough.

Re: Action *snerk* XD

[spohkh]

[Spock tilts his head.... interesting... should he take that as an insult?
No matter.

Spock stands and straightens his tunic... and with his hands behind his back he addresses the feline once more.]

It is not a matter of time Miss... I am a Starfleet officer, I am doing what is expected of me.

Action What can I say? She's catty

[toujourschatte]

I bet you say that to all the cats.

[She's not sure what this Starfleet is, but it sounds military and so does his posture.]

and as a pirate it is expected of me to knock you down and rob you blind

[Dozens of cat paws sprout from the earth and eachother combining into one massive cat paw that starts to swing lazily in your direction]

Lol! I have no idea who your character is in canon, so this came as a surprise! XD haha

[spohkh]

[Spock is startled for only a moment before he dodged out of the way....]

I ask that you desist at once.

XD sorry.

[toujourschatte]

[Ooc: she can do this]

[She pauses as if considering this a moment]

No

[And she allows you just enough time to read it before swatting at you again, just to see what you can and will do.]

Not at all! It's freakin' hilarious! ^_^

[spohkh]

[Spock calmly ducks out of the way and steps back once more.]

He bows politely.]

I have nothing on me of interest even if were able to succeed in capturing me... However, since it is obvious that you no longer wish to converse, I will leave you.

Action

[toujourschatte]

[How boring that he chooses to bow out and how interesting. Is it because he has no backup? He doesn't seem afraid. She's not sure what to make of him. The giant cat's paw will disappear in a burst of black petals and she will just regard you silently to see if you will do what you say]

You are hilarious! *snerk*

[spohkh]

[Spock raises his hand in a Ta'al and ever the gentleman....]

Peace and long life to you. I hope that you will reconsider your hostilities so that we may once again engage in communication. I find you most fascinating...

[And with one more nod.... Spock turns and leaves.]

[toujourschatte]

[Peace and long life? Perhaps the second though she is not sure she wants the first even if it's attainable. It seems like a ritual saying of some sort or another. Still, what an odd officer. Perhaps if his crew was here he would act differently.

In any case he does leave and when she is sure that he is gone she picks up her journal and continues on her way]
