Oh - hey there, buddy. [ ganymede is just minding their own business, and here comes kosmo (and keith). they're seated in the observation deck, back to the comfortable lounge and instead perched on one of the uncomfortable benches so that they can face the windows showcasing the wide expanse of space. ] Sorry, I don't have any food on me right now.
[ i sure did forget about meme... thank you for this.
sometimes your space wolf is just very nosy and needs to be in the middle of everything. he doesn't seem bothered by the lack of food, but continues to stare at ganymede. ]
He just wants to be in your business, food or no food. [ keith shrugs, walking over to pat kosmo on the head. ] I think they're trying to work bud.

[ there is a ping back! if he is legitmately pinging them. it does show that ganymede has shared their location as being at the observation deck, so keith will find them there.
they're seated on the bench again with their elbows on their thighs, rubbing at both sides of their neck with their hands. their helmeted head is down as a dull, aching pain presents in the drift effect along with a general muted tiredness but faint relief. ]

[ thebe is at the strip mall wahoo! right now though they're just sitting down by one of the big fancy window displays, sipping through a bendy straw stuck beneath their helmet. when they see keith, they just kind of wiggle their fingers hi. ]
Came to play a little dress up?
Came to play a little dress up?
[ he gives them an awkward wave back and just kinda tilts his head. ]
Uh, sure. But first, I gotta ask. [ he points to where they have the bendy straw stuck under their helmet. ] Wouldn't it just be easier to, I dunno, take the thing off and drink that way??
[ kosmo is here too, btw, and he does walk up to thebe to greet them. ]

[ thebe is here at titan's call, but instead of at the bar, they are slouched on a couch right by the jukebox as some music is playing, a glass in their hands. son is curled up beside them, but perks up when keith shows up at the bar.
thebe themself shift to sit up a little more. they have time between now and when they need to report elsewhere. ]
... Oh, hey Keith. [ the visor just kind of has a little equalizer effect right now as it moves to the beat of the music. ] Need a drink?

[ he does look at the bar and is confused when they aren't there, but the music draws his attention. their they are...
kosmo wastes no time trotting over to greet both thebe and son, like he hadn't just spent all of trial with them. ]
I've never been much of a drinker. [ he's baby. ] But that's not why I came here anyways. Just wanted to check up on you, like I promised I would.
[ he takes a seat on an adjacent couch, giving a small wave to the sonion. ] How're you holding up?

[ kosmo will probably find them, first, following their scent. they're in the back corner of the lounge area of the observation deck, helmeted head lolled back on the top of their seat and just.
sighing. they're alive! they're fine. but they're very much the :ben: emotion right now even if it's not obvious considering their face isn't visible. the posture says it all. there's a datapad with the broadcast of the execution paused on it, their arms crossed and legs out from the chair.
it was rough, buddy. ]

[ well, when keith comes to the observation deck, he'll see that ganymede is quickly finishing... putting their helmet back on? seems like they'd had it off, at one point, before he showed up. but he still gets to see the effect that the command officer is suffering.
they look a little... not solid? like they're being transmitted like a hologram, a purple edge around them and a slightly starry, galactic pattern shimmering every now and then off of them. ]
Keith! Hey, you head to the planet yet?

[ i'm still screaming. but it's fine.
the way both keith and kosmo just stand there, staring at them. 🧍🐕 ]
Uh, I just got back. [ kosmo moves towards ganymede, while keith looks over their shimmering form. ] Did I come at a bad time?
[ speaking of purple... there's splotches of grayish purple on his face and neck, the scar on his cheek a darker purple. ]

| [ There will be a ping for the combat room regarding their location, in which Europa will be found waiting. There's wisps of black smoke emanating from their body thanks to our lovely week effect with arms crossed. When Keith enters, they address him with a nod, their helmet hanging up near them as well as a dark spear leaning beside it. Their metallic wings folded firmly against their back. ] Efficient in combat? |
[ now that i've ran a million laps...
something he did not expect to see was europa without their helmet, black smoke aside, hello. he just kind of stands there, blinking, for a second. but at that question, keith smiles and nods. ]
I'd say so. [ his eyes flash yellow, pupils like a cat's. ] But I guess you'll have to be the judge of that.

[ baby boy.... in any case, keith can indeed find io planetside, they are just stood there in the snow with one leg propped up on one of the cargo ramp steps to readjust something on the prosthetic. behind them... there is a slender tail with a tuft at the end, reminiscent of perhaps a bull, just kind of twitches, annoyed perhaps.
they aren't wearing a helmet, though they are indeed wearing a hat, and io's jacket. so this is probably io? their head's ducked to try and just tend to the ankle portion of the prosthetic. ]

[ he sees their coat first, but when he sees no helmet he just kind stands there. considers turning around and leaving, because maybe he’s wrong and this isn’t io, and that would be embarrassing. but kosmo is already approaching them, sniffing at the tail behind them.
no running away now! guess he’ll take the shot…
after another brief consideration…] Io?

[ They are out here on the planet, in the cold, in their physical effect snuggie that wraps around them so cozily and comfortably. It also has an enchanted princess hood.
Well, the dog finds them first, and they look down at the dog. Staring contest. ]

[ his helmet is on,and he is bundled for being off-ship. a fur-lined jacket, a muffler that comes up around the bottom of his helmet, warmth radiating off of him in some attempt to not be aching later.
and he bumps right into keith, hands shooting out to steady him as he stomps along. ]
Whoa! Keith, what - [ wait
uh. ] - what is playing right now?

[ he stops, only because ganymede does so, and he doesn’t want to just run him over. ]
How am I supposed to know!! [ the only thing he knows is that its explicit, because everyone was too nice to go into detail and embarrass him. ]
It’s been following me around all afternoon.

| [ well! here comes the npc! they are looking a little different today, their helmet under their arm and son trotting at there side, though he hops up immediately onto one of the air hockey tables and loafs to watch these two clowns make fools of themselves. thebe just smiles lightly, the only way to tell it's them is indeed the helmet, and the oversized jacket, though it isn't zipped up like it usually is, revealing what looks like a rib-like metal cage curling around from the back of their torso. ] So what kind of games are we playing? |
[ POINTS AT. MY GF!!! miss jill i love you.... why am i playing a gay twink.... clenches fist.
anyways. keith is playing some kind of racing game and he looks reaaaally into it, he's even in first place!! but the sudden arrival of thebe and son ruins everything. kosmo goes from watching intently to barking in greeting, which makes keith side glance, and then thebe speaks and he just flinches. startled. and crashes in game, making him auto fail. rip. ]
Hey-!! [ he turns, intent on yelling about how he was doing so well and they just had to ruin it. but when he sees their actual face, he just stops. blinks. ]
Oh. Hey. [ well now he feels silly. ] Nice to see your face, Thebe. It's not half bad.
[ so charming. his eyes do flick to the weird metal cage that's visible, a glint of concern and like "ofc they have something wrong with them too". npcs stop being broken challenge. ]

| [ ganymede is... here! on planet, and not presently wearing his helmet. he is, however, wearing one of the scarves bundled up around his neck to his ears, hiding his wetware and having discarded his jacket for being on hyros itself. while they're not above ground, it's still pretty toasty and their uniforms aren't air conditioned even if the helmets are. hi. |
[ ah yes. the desert... feels like home. while there's a good reason keith pinged him to planet side, it's not like he'll get to explain much. just as soon as he greets ganymede, a nice big slice of void appears and drags them both in.
GET IN THE HOLE LOSER. WE'RE GOING MEMSHARING. ]
GET IN THE HOLE LOSER. WE'RE GOING MEMSHARING. ]
| [ they're always in the medbay, they just live here, super glued here, stapled. but waving at keith as he drops by, though they glance a moment just because. why are voids just in the habit of popping up everywhere? call them antsy! ] Good to see you. You just come for a chat or did you hurt yourself out there today? [ tough worms!!! ] |
[ the voids are real and they can hurt you.
gives them a wave back, kosmo trotting right in and up to io, greeting them with a sneef. ]
I probably got some gnarly bruises, but that's nothing compared to the layers of goop I had to scrub out of my hair. [ and other places... oof.
speaking of the hateful voids. one appears next to them, as they speak, keith looks at it and rolls his eyes. ah shit. here we go again.
before them plays out a (2:38) memory, featuring a familiar face.]

[ he has his helmet on for right now, but keith will eventually see ganymede coming into the lounge after a few hours of nada. tense and unhappy. when he realizes someone's there, he lifts his head, and - ]
Oh. Oh, hey. [ at least it's a familiar face. even if he sounds tired under the autotune. ]
Oh. Oh, hey. [ at least it's a familiar face. even if he sounds tired under the autotune. ]
[ the tense and unhappy vibes are reflected right back at him. keith wears it on his face, as he always does.
looks over, from where he's standing in front of the window. ]
...Hey. [ prickly, at first, but he lets our a sigh, when he fully registers who it is. ]
Come to scream into your hands, too. Welcome to the club.
[ kosmo stirs from where he'd been sitting by keith, to greet ganymede. henlo. ]

| [ io is easy to find, just leaning against the steps of the cargo bay leading out to the glow of the station. breezy and bustling, he is just people watching at the moment, ankle crossed over their leg prosthetic as they wait. of course, once spotted, they wave. ] Quite the vision, isn't it? |
[ waves back, kosmo bounding forward to greet them. ]
It's unlike anything I've ever seen, which doesn't happen very often.
[ all the lights and buildings. so many new sounds. this is probably the most technologically advance place he's ever seen. ]
I'm not even sure where to start.

[ keith goes to the park, and he does not see ganymede right away.
what he does see is a swarm of dogs, jumping and pouncing and playing amongst one another. tumbling in a pile.
across a black and purple clad body, starfished on the ground. he's fine, he's alive, and his helmet is on to protect his face - but he is just laying here and basking in this.
hi. ]

| [ starts this because i am already here in the post anyways. but yeah, after getting that ping from keith after the insane paintball thunderdome in the metaverse, io will meander their way towards it station-side. it's w4 and i'm allowed to make a fit check. ] Good work, today. [ they'll give a low, lazy wave as probably coming up next to them is ganymede. assigns them next. ] |
| [ here comes the boooooooy. as i keep looking at my icons and frowning bc i really feel like i don't have much variety. damn. anyways, ganymede is boring and does not have a fit check. he's got his helmet under his arm and his usual bomber jacket on, but he's comfortable in that so it doesn't matter as much. ] I think that... could've been more disastrous, probably? But it seemed fun - well. I mean, I had fun. |
[ ur my last audience for the evening so i'm gonna say that io is just totally wiped, slumped over their desk and kind of just slowly twirling a pen between their fingers, though they pause when keith walks in and give a little nod. sitting up a little straighter. ]
Hey... come. Sit.
[ already pulling up another seat for him to take at the desk. ]
... Talk to me.
Hey... come. Sit.
[ already pulling up another seat for him to take at the desk. ]
... Talk to me.
[ the deranged link in my inbox was so funny to see. hi.
keith came by earlier and talked to nodd out in the hall, and he looked in to check on rosie and io a few times, but it was A LOT.... so he waited to come back later, once everything had calmed down.
he is squinting a little, but nothing concerning. oh and kosmo is not actually here, shockingly... his duties lie elsewhere at the moment. takes seat. ]
Where do I even begin, other than the obvious... that was insane.
[ especially at the end. ]
But also... how are things here? You look about ready to crash at any second.

[ ganymede is as far away from a recovery pod as you can be without just leaving the medbay entirely, once he's awake again. the helmet is off and he's trying not to be too skittish at the moment.
it's just keith and io. it's fine. he's not strapped down.
it's fine. ]

[ it is fine.
keith hasn't left since he brought him here with charles, hellbent on staying until he's awake and alert again. and it worked out, because he needed to check on io also. his blorbos....
but he stands from where he'd been sitting, not too far away, but enough to give gan some space. approaches slowly so he does not get spooked. ]
Hey. [ carefully places a hand on his shoulder. ] Good to have you back.

[ hi he's here. in the medbay. he's here in the medbay and he's just staring at a computer screen, but not really. doing anything but staring at it. he looks dressed down for the moment, like maybe he's gotten back from doing something unpleasant, but will turn his head a little and give a nod to keith. ]
Hey.
Hey.
[ they can meet in the cargo bay! because that is where... well.
where shiro is working, before the town hall later tonight, althoug he does look kind of tired today as he scrolls down a datapad docket of things that they're trying to stock up on while on acquada. he's wearing a v-neck shirt to give his new scarring some air, trying to resist rubbing at his jaw with obvious twitchy fingers on the other hand.
when he realizes someone else is there, he looks up - and his eyes crinkle in a smile, seeing keith. ]
... hey. Surprise.

keith just stops and blinks, a hand lifting to wave. ]
Oh, hey. [ then he's smiling and coming over, kosmo in tow. ]
And a good one at that. It looks good. You look good.
This what you two were up to yesterday?

[ shiro and io are seated in the observation lounge when keith (and presumably kosmo) finds them, slumped back in the seats of the lounge proper.
not to godmod char but io probably looks fckn tired, it's been a long day and he's being government assigned some rest before this mission happens. shiro does not look 100% thrilled about him being the officer on duty for the mission, considering the very busy week in the medbay, but - here they are, anyways. ]
Hey, Keith. You ready for takeoff later today?

also this is what you get for not letting him go to barbie land or the our menu planet (you had to run the medbay) womp womp womp. but yeah he's here and he's just sleepily holding onto a paper cup of tea and going over some notes in his journal. this is resting! ]

[ howdy we are in the medbay. io is just here - he's been shot by the heal gun thanks to nodd so his acid burns are not so bad at the moment. i'm going to say he's also probably... had his port taken care of as well so he's just sitting on the dumb broken cot tiredly... hen pecking at a report with his fingers on a holo keyboard. ]
[ looks at him tiredly. sir your emotional support broken cot... keith is clean of all the nasty and has spent a couple hours in the pod, so he's no longer on the brink of death. stump arm wrapped up, along with the left side of his face. his own acid burns are fine, as well. yippee. ]
Are you going to spend any time in the pods?
Are you going to spend any time in the pods?
[ yes hello we are in THE ROOM. shiro is glad that he left his bomber jacket behind in here, thrown carelessly over the chair, because now his work uniform is disgusting with the rot and viscera that keith and kosmo were covered by.
he's only bringing him in here after he's sure that keith has been healed enough, so unfortunately he had to suffer being vile. but i'm just going to say that he brought kosmo back here immediately to wash him and tend to his puppy injuries, so he is a clean meme. ]
C'mon, let's get you cleaned up. At least as best we can - I know from the missions I've been on that just one shower won't feel like it's enough.

oh, at least kosmo is now clean. :amen: keith remains stinky. also i hope shiro at least took a shower while he waited, help. ]
I'm not sure I'll ever feel clean again, after all of that. Ugh... so much meat and gore...
[ at least now the acid burns aren't causing him any problems and his wounds are closed up. he just needs to be careful not to reopen them... ]
Sorry, you have to help me like this, I feel like a baby. [ he feels useless!!! coughs up some rusty petals, with a touch of emerald. blech. ]
