z just was curious on what kaia was likely to say. sometimes it's just nice to see the kind of things that she had on her mind as she explored. they waited patiently until they got a response - one they couldn't have predicted.

they couldn't help the small little smile that appears on their face.

"it's alright. i don't taste the rainbow either. Skittles are alright candies but they don't really do a whole lot for me."

[desafia]

Kaia dances around Mags, pulling her close by her hips as she sways and falls into step with her. Kaia giggles, pulling her close and settling a kiss on her nose.

a grin alights to her lips as her eyes track the other's movements. it has been so long since she danced, since her feet have had a reason to do anything other than run. but as she mirrors kaia's movements, she finds it all comes back to her far more easily than she would have thought. there is a comfort in that. there is a comfort in discovery, in finding pieces of her she thought had been killed. so she lets herself smile wider and when the kiss is delivered she laughs. magnolia places her arms around kaia's shoulders, hands linking behind her neck. she steps closer, leaning in so she can press a kiss to her lips. / @starorra

hearing that kaia was entering, zora had prepped themself to be ready to welcome her with a smile and outstretched arms. it was always lovely to see her again. and the excitement that she shared was an absolute delight to experience.

they are tackled a bit, a little bit bowled over by kaia's eagerness, but z gives a fond chuckle as they are holding her close in response.

"i missed you too kaia, it's so good to see you again. "

Smash or Pass for David, Bob and Bucky ;0

david ;

what does he want ? a question only asked of him when mockery is soon to swiftly follow . he smiles kindly at her , equally as amused by the human game . david could tell her what she'd want to hear based on the ideals of his programming alone , and should leave it at that . programming , however , can learn in too many ways for a human to comprehend , in too many ways that no human could take every preventative measure possible to keep the human - machine divide as evident as possible . but a program will learn , and the synthetic had considered his own wants ; humanity were too self absorbed to see that even in the absence of a soul , desire exists . " smash . "

bob ;

his sleeve is pulled tight over his fist , sweater cuffs held in his balled hand while it rests beneath his chin . he laughs , bows his gaze , and presses his smiling mouth against his fist . is it more embarrassing to be asked , or to answer honestly ? bob wriggles in his seat , his hot breath muffled against sweater fabric struggles to subdue the heat crawling across his cheeks , prickling the skin 'til it burns his ears . " smash . " bob admits quietly , leg swinging freely beneath his seat . throat clears , hand is pulled from his lips with some reluctance , and he clambers for confidence , " yeah , s-smash . . . "

bucky ;

and then the question is upon him , again . she shouldn't take his glare for any hint of what his answer might be . arms are folded tight across his chest , they raise slowly with the gradual intake of breath he needs to partake in the game . " smash . " bucky announces as though it's hard fact , as though he hadn't occasionally watched her when she wasn't looking , as though he hadn't smiled to himself when she laughs in conversation with another , and the song breaks his quiet .

@starorra // plotted

Nyetera is the one who finds her. He thinks it's because his cycle of sleep is different from most of the others and he happened to be walking down the hall when she arrived. Some of the others will be there soon, he's also sure of that. Cast most likely, maybe Kicks, too. Creature itself, if they're unlucky.

He is a small creature, in a grayish smock with a hood and lacey veil hanging down over his face. From under the smock his feet are visible, bare and clawed. He has a long tail with a tuft of black hair at the end of it that curls and waves softly as he looks at her from behind the veil.

"i am thinking that. you are not supposed to be here." Which is as true as it is obvious... But Nyetera is too shocked to know what else to say.

@starorra , continued from . . .

as her thrill blooms david's smile grows to meet it . programming ; to ensure all in his charge are comfortable , content , safe . . . by any means . but david enjoys this . he feels her joy . the soulless , a synthetic , cannot feel . could it not learn to ? sample is collected , eyes divert for but a second to analyse it . he shall investigate it at a later date , he shall look forward to it . eyes are upon her again , fingers work to clean what remains . " i do wish i could have seen it for myself . " he is sincere , genuine in his soft response while teeth still bare in their shared jubilation . " i shall have to join you , next time . if i may ? "

[operatticarch]

how can i ever repay you? (Elodie)

" have hope." elodie smiles, a whole hearted thing. the galaxy would love to see it. the force shines through her like a beacon. " never give it up. "

i was just resting my eyes. For Bob

@starorra , weakness .

idle feet walk bob through unnaturally quiet corridors , arms swing past his hips as his head turns with every open door . every so often hands meet before his waist ; each swing picks a new game , fingers try and grasp for fingers , or if the swing of his arms carried a particularly successful momentum the palms of both hands meet to clap . the sound had been timid at first , but the longer bob had strolled through the building to find it practically abandoned , the sound grew louder , and echoed against passing walls .

he stumbles to an unsuccessful stop at one door , clumsy and grateful it hadn't been witnessed . like the others bob had thought the room unoccupied until the cogs had completed their cycle , until he had realised what it was he was looking at . the back of a couch , feet hung over the arm , hiding its occupant from view . bob hovers , head tipped , and slowly approaches . he knew who it was . hands are upon the back of the couch , and bob leans . . .

watching her stir , bob stifles a giggle with teeth nipping at the flesh of his cheek . his presence had been detected fairly quickly , and bob retreats a little , fearing his looming may frighten her . i was just resting my eyes . it's then he frees what remains of his laugh , as quiet as it may be now . " okay . . . " there's a pinch of sarcasm in his voice , its intent only ever playful . " you looked fully out of it , though . even snoring a little . "
