Man and Cat OTA
When they arrive it’s near the end of the thirty-six hour period. There had been much to do for preparation, things to pack, and honestly, he wanted to see the storm as it brewed up. It wasn’t like he’d seen it the first time, having arrived just days after the last blew itself away. But that means the man arrives with quite a bundle in his arms. Packs and papers and the few kits and tools he’s gotten himself from the replicator.

And at his side, a foot and a half tall stuffed animal of a black and white, tuxedo-cat, its own arms wrapped around coiled up papers. Was it possible for a stuffed animal to look proud of itself? Perhaps it should, because it’s got a very smart looking, dark green cape tied around its neck and a whole load of responsibility, so why wouldn’t it be happy?

“Does anyone know how long these storms typically last?” Reeve asks of anyone who comes near. And Mini stops every few steps to readjust the papers. It’s a lot harder to carry things when you don’t have fingers.

Calibrations Waiting Room

Calibrations [CW: Referenced (nothing explicitly depicted) kidnapping and confinement, including of children]

It’s not a bedroom, it’s an office. A rather dark one at that, most of the light coming either from the scattering of monitors, some recessed lighting high above, or two lights pointed at the rather oversized Shinra corporate logo behind the desk. The desk itself is cluttered, covered with files and papers and reports. This is clearly the desk of someone far too busy with their life. Someone who isn’t fully organized.

On it there are a few things of notable interest, like architectural reports and diagrams, a few reports on small hinges with one bearing a sticky note of ‘but why would you want them’, and there’s even a box filled with several glowing green and blue orbs. Materia. Further along, in a corner, is a framed picture of a couple that look vaguely like Reeve, his parents no doubt, and Reeve as a boy, all of them smiling in front of what looks like a farm house. The computer monitors scroll through a number of images of Midgar in various stages of being built.

Of course most of that only matters if you didn’t sit in the very comfortable office chair. Hope you like boring board meetings.

Reeve himself lounges on one of the couches in the room, looking tired. Very tired. Like he wishes he could just sleep in peace. But, if engaged, he will indeed talk.

"Last one was about two weeks I think," Poe offers, "They didn't send us down here last time though, so who knows how relevant last time is." He shrugs a shoulder and moves to offer a helping hand, not sure which of the over burdened figures needs it more. "You find your room yet? I can help you get settled."

The droids trailing after him seem to want to help as well, trying to usher Mini along like they're herding sheep.

"Reeve," he repeats, giving a nod and a smile, "Good to meet you Reeve. I'm Poe. Poe Dameron. That's BB-8, and CC-9," he introduces, nodding to each droid in turn, eyeing Mini curiously. He assumes he must be some kind of droid too, but he looks very different to anything he's seen before. Why someone would turn a doll into a droid he's not sure, unless it was meant for a child?

"Seems to be a room for each of us. And one big common area. Haven't toured the whole place yet, but seems like they expect us to be down here for a while."

"Good to meet you too, Mini," Poe offers with a smile at the doll, waving BB off as the droid tries to nudge them curiously.

"It's not ideal," he agrees. It's bad enough being grounded, let alone literally underground, "Probably better than taking our chances out there."

The droids rolled on ahead to scout out Reeve's room.

"Pretty good way to get us to go where they need us to," he agrees, "Though they've never really had much trouble with that. You trust them?"

A few beeps echo after them, trying to call Mini to follow, and Poe gives an amused snort, quirking a brow at Mini. He can carry a little more, if Mini wants to go running after them.

"Mm," he nods in agreement, "I think some people here are a little to willing to buy into the narrative they've presented."

There was a curious whistle, and one of the droids circled back, the astromech returning to circle Mini playfully and speed on ahead a little before doubling back again, exploring the range the doll had to play in.

Poe nods. Some days it's easier to just let himself believe their story. And he's sure some part of it may be true. But it doesn't make their actions all right. "Seems like they have a whole lot of tech and resources when it's convenient."
