002 :: Sheep happen to like water too~

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ Well this is a spot he hasn't explored yet! Kiran's amazed at seeing how massive the Bath House is, and he thinks that it's a good time as any to give it a whirl~

He thinks he's alone so first part of the program is to try the outdoor baths. After the requisite cleansing, he sinks into the hot water with a contented sigh. ]

I should've scouted this place earlier...


[ Afterwards, he will take to exploring the building, going ever upwards and checking the rooms -- will he find other people in there? Will he find something interesting? Musing to himself -- ]

This is pretty neat! You can even hold gatherings in here!


(( OOC: Feel free to catch Kiran while he's in the bath or while he exploring the place! Threadjacks/mingling are welcome. ))

[ Shrug. ] If you say so. I was thinking you could try Tai Chi too, if you're into those things.

[ Kiran would love to get into the technicality of him being not ~really~ human so he just tucks that thought as his secret from Doc for now. He looks to the window briefly -- ] Tibet... mountains. Cold. It's home to the highest peaks on Earth. People dress colorfully and they're not that technologically advanced as the rest of the world, so it's like entering a different world entirely sometimes. But Tibetans are kind -- superstitious! But kind and warm.

What are your colonies like, Doc?

[docinawall]

Oh, I haven't tried that! I'll ask Wash to put that on next time.

That sounds nice! I mean, except the cold. But I bet it's got great views, and great people are even better. [under his helmet, he's smiling brightly]

People at Delta Commune are nice, too--except about team sports. [he chuckles] Then things get vicious! But otherwise? All careers are unionized, and conflict resolution training is required at school. Oh, and there are a lot of cats! Cats are great. But I haven't been there in a long time, so it might be different now. People might have...dogs. Or baby aliens.

[ Kiran can definitely hear the smile in Doc's voice -- something he has grown used to, speaking with Marin and the other female Saints who have to wear their masks.

He laughs a bit at the comment on sports~ ] It's the same where I'm from. People get really worked up for all kinds of sports.

[ There's a lot of information there, but there's one point Kiran would like to go back to -- ] Oh, hey-- you mentioned something about being a prisoner? Are you a P.O.W.?

[docinawall]

[Doc nods his eager agreement] Yeah, it's kinda crazy! You should see them around the Grifball championship.

Oh, uh...sort of? [he pauses thoughtfully] Are you a P.O.W. if you've been taken hostage by someone from a secret organization that's not actually on either side and got shut down, so he's probably supposed to be in jail? Because if you are, then yeah. If not...I guess I'm just a hostage?

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ 'Grifball' is it? Another bit to tuck aside~ In the meantime, Kiran mulls over the description -- ]

More like hostage, sounds like. Sorry 'bout that. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. Does that conflict resolution course come in handy in that kind of situation?

[docinawall]

[Doc continues to be very casual about his situation] Yeah...it's not terrible? I mean, it'd be better if I weren't stuck in a wall. But I'm sure they'll find a way to get me out eventually!

[he brightens at that] You know, maybe I should try more of that! [but as he thinks more about it, his brow furrows under the helmet] But...it'd probably work better if one of them didn't hate me and the other didn't just growl at people and kill them. But they haven't killed me yet, so I think that's a pretty good track record!

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ The doc really is funny. Except that Kiran has said that already~ ] You have a pretty positive outlook on your situation. I think that's admirable!

And, little mercies come with this Plane, right? At least here, you're not a hostage.

[docinawall]

[admirable now, is he? Doc grins] Thanks! But yeah, I like this place. And I know how to get here without the wall now, so it's even better. I can do yoga whenever I want!

What do you like best about it?

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ Kiran probably doesn't know he's returning the smile. ] Well--

[ My Master's alive here... ] I've met people from my world here, for one! Some of them I haven't had the chance of talking to a lot back home. Then I meet new people like you! And you all come from different worlds and I want to see them!

[docinawall]

You know, that's a good point! I bet there are lots of great worlds out there with relaxing baths, friendly people, noncompetitive sports... I should ask around!

Oh, and maybe one day, when I'm not a hostage, you can come see my world!

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ Kiran's glad to hear more of that enthusiasm! ]

Hey, I'd like that! And, well, I don't think your hostage status applies to mine, so you can drop by for a visit too!

[docinawall]

[excited] Oh, really? That'd be great! Can I see the mountain views?

[a beat as he remembers something] ...but only if you're sure none of the armor is going to eat me while I'm there.

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

'Course you can!

[ Little amused sigh. Oh Doc~ ]

I promise! Armors don't do that kind of thing anyway.

[docinawall]

[under his helmet, Doc is beaming] Awesome!

[it would be the story of his life if the armor tried to eat him. but he nods, though he still sounds a little dubious] Okay...if you say so. Then we'll do that one day!
