[guardiano_perduto]

[Just another day on the SOL - nothing out of the ordinary here. There certainly isn't a furry cat-like alien in full body armour wandering the halls with a glowing wrench, pressing an buttons he can find and fiddling with pieces of discarded metal, no sirree.

And he definitely isn't trying to swat away a certain cambot, following his every move.]

Hey, knock it off. I said I'd find a way outta here, alright?

[If 'a way out' meant wandering around in circles for the past hour. The Lombax's tail swishes once in thought, a gloved hand on his hip as he looks to the side, then up.]

Qwark? Aphelion? Yo! You guys okay?

[The only noise, the only response that fills the halls is cambot's whirring. Something Ratchet really would like to stop circling him every few minutes.

Welp.

Marooned on a spaceship with no other forms of life in sight. This was turning out to be such a great rescue.]

Ah, c'mon. If Qwark's involved, we'd better go help.

Comments

[colorbymemory]

Nobody more unusual that anyone who's here already, or like who you described. I'm sorry.

[No worries, she's used to the strange happenings here.]

[guardiano_perduto]

...what about a little robot? Silver, looks like he'd make a pretty good backpack, spews out more science than a bad holomentary?

[colorbymemory]

[She shakes her head, looking a little sad]

No, not that either, though we do have a few robots here.

[guardiano_perduto]

[Ratchet's ears drop a little behind him, the Lombax looking more than just a bit dejected.]

...right. Thanks.

[colorbymemory]

Are they your friends?

[guardiano_perduto]

Yeah. Especially the robot - I... he was taken away and I don't even know if he's okay or not. I need to find him.

[colorbymemory]

[Not quite sure what to say, Namine offers the most sympathetic look that she can.]

[guardiano_perduto]

[Noticing this, Ratchet gives a sheepish grin.]

I'm sure he is! It's Clank we're talking about!

I just... don't know much about these Zoni. I don't know what they even want with him.

[colorbymemory]

Is he he usually good at taking care of himself?

[She understands worrying about friends you left possibly needing your help. Before anything can be said about that, though, a new word piques her interest.]

Zoni? I don't think we have any of those here, either...

[guardiano_perduto]

He takes after me, naturally, so yeah.

[Though that makes him think, to two years ago...]

--sometimes you can't see 'em. I know I couldn't when they first started talking to Clank, and... well, again, it's a long story.

[colorbymemory]

[She smiles at his first remark.]

Then I'm sure he's fine. What's your name? That'll make it easier to let you know if I see him.

[His last comment just gets a nod and a more thoughtful look. She doesn't think the invisibility would last here, but...It was something to bear in mind.]

[guardiano_perduto]

Ratchet.

How 'bout you? You're sure not like anyone else I've met before.

[colorbymemory]

I'm Namine.

There's a lot of unusual people here--you're the first of your kind I've met, though.

[guardiano_perduto]

[A sad, sorrowful smile.]

Yeah, I... get that a lot. I'll be the last, too.

[colorbymemory]

[Oh. Namine never knows what to say at times like this.]

I'm sorry.

[guardiano_perduto]

Nah, it's okay. Once I find Clank, make sure he's alright... then it won't be so bad.

[colorbymemory]

Then I hope you find him soon.

Is anyone else helping you find your way around?

[guardiano_perduto]

Nnnot exactly? I've just been bumbling around until something happens, to be honest.

[colorbymemory]

Are you near where you first arrived? I could at least show you where we all live, and the cafeteria.

[guardiano_perduto]

Pfft, I guess? I've been walking in circles for hours now! Some help would be fantastic.

[colorbymemory]

Okay, if you wait where you are now, I'll come find you.

[video --> action?]

[guardiano_perduto]

Just don't take too long!

Busy guy, things to do.

[action?]

[guardiano_perduto]

Kid, I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to.

[Action!]

[colorbymemory]

[Cambot follows Nami as she walks until eventually she finds him.]

Hello.

[Action!]

[guardiano_perduto]

[Ratchet, for the most part, has a hard time managing to stay still for so long. As long as he wasn't in any real danger, the idea of a new ship, a new galaxy even, triggered that old urge to get up and explore.

But before long, he recognized the young girl from the Cambot, and swiftly leaps down from the crate he was perched upon.]

Heya! Sure took your time, huh?
