[god it is such a monday
anyway, rng hath given me "let me take a selfie," so here nahida is at the little shop with all the selfie accessories! she doesn't seem to be actually snapping any pictures, but she does have her phone out in selfie mode and seems to be going from accessory to accessory, checking the angles she needs to line them up in the frame.
huh.
when she sees fei du on her screen, though, she turns to greet him.]
Oh, hello!

Oh, hello!
[ cute.... watch this tiny baby go... it's sort of marveling to see someone so small perusing the racks so easily and doing something with her phone. world's smartest toddler.
fei du smiles at her though, and gives a little wave in the screen. ]
Good afternoon, Nahida. Practicing your camera skills?

Good afternoon, Nahida. Practicing your camera skills?
Yes. I've been experimenting with it, and it seems as though my Psych is channeled through my phone. So I thought I should get some practice with using it on the fly.
[she smiles.]
What brings you here, Fei Du? Exploring the new shop?
[she smiles.]

Oh? Now that's interesting. Remind me again, you have...?
[ he's peering curiously at the phone, now, over her shoulder - though, politely, he does answer the question. ]
And you're right. I thought I might take a walk and found something interesting, is all.

Healing Aura.
[she's not actively using it right now - but when he peers over the phone, she adjusts her hold on it so that the both of them are in the frame and she's not mostly blocking him or anything like that.]
It's interesting that this place seems to have suddenly appeared. Well... I suppose we all could have simply not walked around the right parts of the city to see it before, but it seems unlikely that all forty of us would have just missed it.

I thought so too! It might just be that we only became conscious of it, or maybe that's always been here like the cars. The sort of thing we were able to just pass through as shades before, don't you think? Ah.
[ cute. he smiles? like they might actually take a selfie, tilting his head a bit in towards her. ]
Cheese.

Cheese.
Cheese!
[she smiles, and actually does snap a selfie because why not. she doesn't activate her psych, though.]
...that's possible! I'm curious about why that would have been, though. I expected some changes after we all formed teams, but it doesn't seem as though everyone has just yet, so I don't think that's the cause here...

[ it's a very cute selfie they're both photogenic
anyway! ]
I'm not sure, either. [ a pause, and then, dryly: ] Enrichment for our enclosure?

Possibly. Or maybe the Reapers wanted to keep us occupied so we didn't all swarm them with questions again...
Definitely enrichment for our enclosure.
[ help. no more questions for these poor babies. ] We're in something of a holding pattern.

Yes, now that teams are starting to be formed, we're just waiting until we get more of a hands-on mission.
In the meantime... there's this. [she gestures at the selfie shop.] I don't mind it, really, but... I'm curious about what sorts of tasks we'll be asked to perform for points, so I hope we get to find out what they are soon.

[ on this fine wednesday after the mini event, fei du is sitting in the park - he's got a green jacket draped over his shoulders, looking a bit like a wet cat even still. his scrawny ass is planted on a piece of park equipment, eyes closed, looking... despite it all, vaguely relaxed?
he opens his eyes when someone comes by, though, and tilts his head a little, voice a little looser than usual. truly, vibing. ]
...Hello, Nahida.

Hello, Fei Du.
[she tilts her head to one side and studies hihm.]
You look... sort of relaxed? [...] But, um... maybe we should try to find you a towel.

[ zen ]
I'm very relaxed.
[ hmmm. though, he does tug lightly on the edge of the jacket he's got around his shoulders. ] This is warm, but - a towel would be nice, I think. I guess I'm still wet.

...let's see what we can find, then.
[she holds out her hand. i don't think they can actually find towels anywhere but maybe they can just use some of the sheets in the displays at ikea to dry him off and leave them.]

[ he will take her hand! and waddle along with nahida... she is so little. it's a little bit like leading chenchen around, though he's being led...? and is weirdly relaxed and vibing with that. zen. ]
Thank you, Nahida.
Thank you, Nahida.
You're welcome.
[the mental image of nahida just leading fei du around by the hand when she barely comes up to like. his elbows. is really funny to me.]
Did you have fun decorating your base today?

[ yeah it's about right. local girl takes her cat for a walk!
anyway. he hums, half floating along - feet on the ground, but just sort of vibing. ]
Mmm. I didn't do too much decorating, but it was fun. Did you...?

Yes! It was very interesting to see what sorts of decorations everyone was coming up with. And it was fun to get to make things, too.
It seemed like you all were having a lot of fun with the hoses...?
It seemed like you all were having a lot of fun with the hoses...?
Ahaha. Yes, exactly. I haven't done anything like that before.
[ which part the decorating and bonding with friends or the hoses. who knows.
as he's being led along, in a hum. ] Shenhe asked for my assistance. Who am I to say no?

[ cheerfully ]
Vengeance.
Vengeance.
[uh]
On who?
On who?
Shu. I don't know why? I think he slighted her somehow, so we got him with a two pronged attack.
[ with... the hose
he was just goofing off. ]
