[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.

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?

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine looks a little startled to see him jump down, but takes it in stride. She hadn't thought it had taken her that long to get here; maybe he was the impatient type.]

Sorry; I tried to hurry.

[Action]

[guardiano_perduto]

Nah, it's cool. Giant floating read-books-till-you-can't-take-it-anymore-and-dive-headfirst-into-a-wormhole ship, after all. Unless you took the stairs instead of the elevator.

In that case, I don't think I have any Nanotech if you keel over on me.

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

[She takes a moment to try to get a sense of what he's saying--slang isn't always her strong point.]

I think I'll be fine, thanks.

If you want to choose a room first, they're on the second and third decks, not far from here.

[Action]

[guardiano_perduto]

And we get our own rooms? Alright, roll out the red carpet!

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

I guess you want to pick a room first, then?

[She's smiling.]

[Action]

[guardiano_perduto]

...that's probably the best way to go about it, isn't it? I mean, if I get lost again, at least I have somewhere to try to get back to!

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

True.

[She gestures to a nearby staircase]

Then we can start on deck two or three; that's where all our rooms are.

[Action]

[guardiano_perduto]

Sure, as long as you tell me who's already in what.

I read Goldibolts and the Three Snagglebeasts as a kid! And I wouldn't want anyone sleepin' in my bed.

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

[She has no idea re: the story he mentioned, but gets the sentiment.]

Oh! Most people lock their rooms, and even if they don't, there's usually some sign that another person as already claimed the room.

[Action]

[guardiano_perduto]

...should I be on the lookout for laser-guided plasma turrets?

[Action]

[colorbymemory]

[She blinks a bit in confusion, then shakes her head.]

I don't think so. Most of the time it's just a book, or a jacket, or something other than just the furniture and poster.
