WARNINGS: N/A

I. I Walk These Lonely Roads | Roads of Temba
No matter the decision as to whether her purpose here was changing or not, there was still some inherent things that were not going to change. After Lauri's morning work out she put up a sign at the civics center training area saying to contact her if someone wanted work out help. And then she set out to do the normal. Hammer in hand, Accuser armor wrapped around her, Lauri-Ell walked confidently through the early morning streets. It was time to do her patrols.

But she was getting started a little later today, and she was happy to see others around, raising her free hand in a greeting and offering them a smile.

"It grows warm in the mornings, yes? Very lovely."


II. Learning The Ropes | Hospital
It had taken time to come to this conclusion. Time and soul searching, and the kindness extended to her by Omega and Billy recently. And the realization that she did not need the weapons the Agrii provided to protect others. Which meant she could learn to protect people in more ways.

That didn't mean she entirely knew what to do with this knew knowledge. Lauri-Ell removed her hand from the datapoint and just... stood there for a moment.

"I still don't understand," she said, a bit frustrated before she turned and entered the hospital. "But I suppose I should see if there is a means to learn properly."

"Fictional characters from my world. Like Sonic is a fictional hedgehog character that can run super fast. The name Spike, just because they look spikey. I know the spike thing fits better with a porcupine, but whatever." He waves it off in a dismissive fashion. "I guess, uh, inside jokes from my earth."

"Anything like hedgehogs where you're from then? Or are they just a thing for us earth natives?"

[kree_soldieress]

A hedgehog that runs super fast?

"And what tales of morality are told of this hedgehog character?"

Yes she's assuming he's a fable.

"There are creatures that have prickles, yes. Often tipped with poisons."

[buildingitsir]

"Yeah, I don't know the canon lore for Sonic that well. I know he was a popular video game and there was other stuff made for him, but I don't have time for things like that where I'm from. Too busy trying to get recognized as a person and all that shit."

A glance to her with a slight smirk. "I guess I'm thankful that you see me as a hedgehog and not a porcupine then. Prickly, but not poisonous."

[kree_soldieress]

"Ah, what is a video game?"

Yep, lost once more. Truly her cultural experiences, of her own people and of humanity, are dreadfully narrow.

"What is a porcupine?"

[buildingitsir]

"Uhhh, just a game one would play on a television. It's visual media. Something to entertain someone as a hobby. Though I guess in my earth's past some made it a career. As for a porcupine, it's just another animal. Bigger than a hedgehog, with quills for protection."

In his pocket, his communicator dinged. Then dinged a few more times. Pulling it free, he checks the direct messages and smirks a little. "Hate to break away like it's a bad date, which it's not because I've enjoyed walking - of all things, who would've fucking thought - I should head out. Someone apparently wants my attention." Someone that had an awful shirt and was almost a coulrophobic. Almost.

[kree_soldieress]

Quills for protection. Peter Quill? No, probably not.

"So another form of human entertainment. How intriguing. I had not heard of it in my limited time in New York City."

Still, his decision to walk away earns a nod from Lauri-Ell. She quite understands. That is something he must do, so she will accept it with a bow.

"Have care then, my Pricklebeast friend."
