[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.

[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.

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

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

[She's smiling.]

...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!

True.

[She gestures to a nearby staircase]

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

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.

[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.

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

[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.

So nothing that's gonna one-hit KO me, huh? You never know! Even a book or a jacket can be booby-trapped!

No, nobody here would do something like that.

I've seen the horror movies, man. You could be one of those kids that act all sweet and innocent, then the second I turn my back you're a flesh-eating zombie with a chainsaw.

[Confusion, Ratchet. All of it.]

Zombies? No, we don't have those here.

Yet. Don't underestimate those zombies, trust me. They're smarter than they look!

...okay, not really.

[She shrugs--having never met a zombie, she'll have to take his word for it.]

I've never met, so I wouldn't know.

[Back to the subject of finding a room.]

Anyway, if you want a room close to the cafeteria, we should go to the third deck.

[Yeahno, Namine, you don't want to meet a zombie. A zombie wouldn't even be interested in making friends. It would just eats your face.

And everything attached to it.

BUT OH YEAH they were finding a room. Right.]

Cafeteria? Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Taking jabs at me already?

[But he means well, and the Lombax smirks down at his companion. Anything to keep the conversation from taking a serious turn, after all.]

[Namine blinks, then smiles cautiously at what she recognizes as a "just joking" hint.]

No, just wondering.

[She's not good at the "joking back, bit, though. Sorry, Ratchet.]

[The Lombax lightly nudges her shoulder, offering her a crooked grin in return.]

Ah, c'mon, you know I'm just teasing. It's not like it's even possible to ruin this figure anyway!

[At that she laughs a little.]

But it's good to be the first one in line for pancakes at breakfast.

[And room hunting happened, and was successful.]
