Someone is not sure what to think of this...

[thirteenth_brat]

[Cambot is on the nature deck and is focused on one of those hunting season signs. However, unlike all of the other ones, it is for a species not yet seen on the satellite. Roxas has noticed it.]

Panda Season?

[He looks at Cambot. Besides looking puzzled, his eye looks better. Obviously, it isn't bothering him at the moment and he's a bit more interested in this oddity. Cambot hasn't a clue, however, and does a little bob with a slight tilt that may be meant to be a shrug.]

Weird.

[Roxas turns to go about his business, which is this case was just looking around. He hasn't really spent a lot of time on the nature deck yet, though he isn't sure why he's doing so now. In any case, in his poking around, he finds something. A cranky something that he seems to have startled. Huh, that's... well, that's a panda. That's a panda in an uber cute anime style. Pandas are bears. Herbivores, yes, but they still have the teeth and claws of a carnivore. This one is upset.]

...Oh hell...

[Roxas exits stage left with a rather annoyed panda hot on his heels. From off camera come sounds that would seem to indicate that Roxas is not having fun with the panda. Then the sound dies down. The panda enters from stage left with a scrap of cloth in its mouth that might very well be the seat of Roxas's pants, looking rather satisfied. A couple minutes later, Roxas leans into frame, looking miffed. He sounds pathetically embarrassed when he speaks up.]

Cambot, stop filming.

[The feed obligingly cuts off.]

[Ammy looks pretty concerned...as concerned as a fluffly pillow-looking wolf can, anyway. Is he all right?]

[thirteenth_brat]

[Ah, this is embarrassing. Fortunately, Roxas really isn't hurt. Really, a bite in the ass is nothing for a cartoon character. The panda seems happy enough with having claimed a piece of his clothes. Looks like he may need to visit Rarity for some tailoring.]

I'm fine.

[And Ammy is looking awfully cute and squishy. What kind of style is that?]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy still comes to check up on him, just to make sure. Well, he does look all right...and she looks even squishier in person.]

[She glances around the deck. Maybe she can go talk to that panda and teach it to be kinder?]

[colorbymemory]

Ummm...Do you need some help fixing your clothes?

[Namine does not like to possible further embarrassment, but Rarity's been teaching her to sew a little and she wants to help.]

[thirteenth_brat]

[She can certainly come check on him, but's doing his best not to show the fact that the seat of his pants has been torn out.

As to the panda, in fairness, it's a wild animal and he did startle. Not that he intended to, but things happen sometimes.]

[thirteenth_brat]

Uh... I guess. If I can get the missing piece back...

[It probably can't get more embarrassing.]

[colorbymemory]

Right. Let me know if you can? I'm not that good at it, but I can try.

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy's not going to care if Roxas is missing the seat of his pants...she's seen Susano much worse off when he messed up a fight. Still, she sniffs him over. Good to see that he's not too hurt.]

[She barks once at him. Which way did the panda go?]

[thirteenth_brat]

All right. Thanks.

[colorbymemory]

You're welcome.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Ammy may not mind, but few humans and human-like beings like having their underpants showing. He is rather glad he didn't get a serious mauling, but it occurs to him that he might not have been so lucky on a week where the normal laws of nature, physics and everything else applied. But with cartoony weirdness in play, the panda was happy enough to just bite him once and take a trophy in the form of a relatively important part of one's pants.

As for where the panda went, it exited stage right and Roxas simply points off that way.]

He went that way. I dunno what you can really do, though...

[yabigfurball]

[Well, since Roxas looks to be okay for now, maybe she can do something about that panda. If she can't talk it down, maybe she can get back the piece of pants it took. She nods to Roxas, and heads off in the direction it escaped to.]

[fatedcircle]

[Squall, for his part, is looking... well, "blocky" would probably be a bit of an understatement. It doesn't seem to bother him much, though.]

Are you alright?

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas doesn't even know what to say about Squall's appearance. So he's not going to say anything about it.]

I'm fine, I guess.

[Just embarrassed as hell. He's considering the possibility that the panda will still be present after this week.]

[fatedcircle]

[It's probably for the best that way.]

Good.

[There's a moment of silence before he speaks up again.]

Did you see which way it went?

[thirteenth_brat]

[He points off his left, which would be the right side of the screen for a viewer.]

That way.

[Which is vague, yes, but Roxas doesn't really want to go looking for it, so he won't be doing anything to get a more exact location.]

[fatedcircle]

Thanks.

[Given events so far, Squall isn't much inclined to go looking for it himself, but knowing where it might be is still better than nothing.]

[salvagedlight]

[Have a Ven peering through the Cambot, a bit confused - like this week hasn't been confusing enough already.]

Roxas? Are you okay?

[thirteenth_brat]

[Ahahaha... no. No he's not.]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[...Physically. His dignity has taken quite a hit, though.]

[beforetheflame]

[Lea stared for a minute at his cambot. Then snapped his finger with a snort.]

Yeesh, talk about your panda-mic.

[thirteenth_brat]

[All of the deadpan here. All of it.]

Very funny. Really. Truly hilarious.
