Fear to See the World to Be

WHO: Omeeega, mothcat squad and anyone in Sh'Ka
WHERE: Sh'Ka
WHAT: Seeing things and trying not to be alone
WHEN: Mid-October/During the Storm
WARNINGS: N/A


I. Shoot the Breeze
While she's aware that Sh'Ka isn't exempt from those storms, it still feels like so long ago that she had last experienced one. Then again, for her it has been.

Omega only vaguely becomes aware of the possibility when she realizes the train hasn't been running normally. Or perhaps it was something about the air... Little things that she just can't put her finger on, but it's made her more wary.

"Stick close, Launch. You too, Dart," she informs her squad. The two mothcats glance back from where they've fluttered off ahead of her, inevitably turning forward again to resume their wandering. Omega sighs, rolling her eyes, but she can't help for a faint smile. Some things at least never changed. She reaches up to pat the mothcat perched on her shoulder before letting her hand fall over the bulging bag slung at her side where the tail of another mothcat sticks out. If he'd weighed as much as the space he occupied, she's certain her bag would have split at its seams by now.

"Come on. Back to the shelter," she says, head nodding towards the hotel building.


II. Wish You Were Here
Thunder rumbles above, but that's hardly Omega's concern as she hurries down the streets. For all that things had been quiet the past few days, nothing had actually happened. Today's caught her off guard, and she can only hope the rest of her squad is taking cover at the hotel.

Somehow she's gotten herself turned around though, and only now the girl realizes it. "It's okay, we just... We just need to go back," she says, glancing down at her bag and the fuzzy mothcat head sticking out from it.

Movement from somewhere ahead of them has her stop, and even though she knows her weapon's useless at the moment, she still pulls her energy bow from behind her, its solidness in her hand giving some mild comfort.

"Wh-who's there..?"

Her eyes widen as she sees them, a man in gray armor with a khaki kama about his waist, and in place of his right hand he has a scomp-link. "Echo?"

Damn that's cute. Billy kind of sees the appeal of having a pet. He strokes him as he nods towards a spot for them to take a seat, carefully lowering himself so he doesn't disturb Tumble.

"Have you eaten? Do you need any supplies?" he asks, prepared for once to help without his magic.

"I dunno why. Maybe I smell like food," Billy offers, glad at least that it's helping Omega smile and laugh.

"We've got extra. And Soldier's been helping me learn survival skills, so we've got you covered," he promises, trying to shrug his bag off without disturbing the mothcat.

"There should be snacks in there, you can help yourself."

"I never had a pet before, but he seems nice." Billy wonders how you get anything done with one though. He's trapped being a bed for this thing.

"Yeah? What have you learned so far?" he asks with a grin.

Billy nods, and considers for a moment. "There's ways to communicate when the network's down. Just...not in the same way. And maybe not so easily with mothcats," he adds with a laugh. "But there's...smoke signals, even if you don't know how to signal different meanings, if you can start a big smoky fire, someone can find you if there's trouble."
