♤ Network - [Video]

[It's around dusk, the faint glow of a lantern casting a wavering light about that reveals the Exo so he's more than just glowing eyes. He seems to give a dry look at the communicator before turning his head and then the feed itself outward towards the city and its few lit up buildings. ]

So. That direction would be where the tower is. Just trust me on this since there's no blinking light.

But if we look out this way-

[The feed shifts again, passing over sparse furnishings and old, rusted gears of the clock tower before looking out another gaping hole where there's fewer buildings grouped and lit, but the most noticeable thing is a light winking on and off in the darkened distance.]

I think someone's funnin' with us.

[Ah, interesting. Tommy nods and starts setting things aside. Maybe they can shuffle enough out of each crate that he can take one for himself.]

Man, Cayde, you come up with some good stuff, don't you?

[The Exo flashes a lopsided smile.]

I like to think I have exquisite taste. Usually I'm scrounging for supplies and weapons though.

Yeah, it's not bad taste at all.

[Weapons. Man, if only that was a thing. Tommy puts selected dishes aside, thoughtful. Mostly he was going for durable looking, not matching.]

[That was all well and good considering that there's hardly any matching sets. There's a lot of color and strange shapes and materials, but at least most of them still appear to actually be serviceable.]

There might be some utensils in there too although some of them are just plain strange- like... I think it could be a fork? But it's got all these extra thingys sticking out of it? Stuff like that.

Might have to ask Tony to forge me more utensils.

[He considers things and sets them aside, a growing pile.]

You wonder how Agrii eat? Four arms. Do they eat two things at once?

You know...that is a good question. I didn't really try watching them eat while we were all on the ship. They gotta be pretty good at multitasking! Maybe they have things in each hand and then alternate like some intricate dance. Or maybe they just make a mess of themselves because things try mashing into their mouth at the same time.

IT's a nicer thing to think about than the fact that they really haven't given us much to work with here.

[So very, very little.]

Yeah. I mean, even after we finally met 'em face to face, there's still so many questions.

Oh! Speaking of which! [He snap-points.] I think questioning is due. You got anything you'd want to ask the Agrii? I'm helping compile a list.

At least I got to touch one.

[Which made him different from a lot of people he supposed.]

Questioning? Huh, good question. How do they choose who comes here, if they even do?

Many hugs were endured. Especially after Stark and I tracked down one of their missing pets.

[It wasn't all bad, once you got past the whole...moist thing.

He nods, pulling out a sheaf of paper and the stub of a pencil to start writing notes.]

That's another thing I was wondering- if supposedly the thing that they were intending to send us home with disappeared, then how is it they're still bringing people in?

Yeah, but I carried one.

[Tommy sighs.]

Honestly? I don't think they are.

A true he-row! Is this a competition now? It's not one I'm all that intent on winning.

[He finishes writing his own additional question in neat lines of cursive.]

Yeah, after the whole mysterious voice thing? That's what I'm figuring too. They didn't seem particularly interested in following up on what happened though, so we'll probably have to keep our questions within a range they might actually be able to answer.

Wow man. I'm a professional hero back home. Got a secret identity and everything.

[Sorry, Cayde, he's serious about that.]

Ask them their favorite food then for all I care. Or for better ships.

Good for you! Is that the actual business title? How much do you get paid?

[These are serious questions. Inquiring minds want to know!!]

I have a feeling they'd say peanut butter. Ooh, are we doing a wish list too? That might not hurt but I'm not sure what we'll end up with...

[Wow, Cayde, don't burst his damn bubble. He flips the man off for that.]

I don't get paid. It's for the public good.

I want fucking jelly that doesn't takes like peanut butter.

[That response only makes the Exo burst out laughing. You needa take things less seriously kid.]

Right, right. I guess that's what Vanguard duty is too. Except half the time it was paperwork. I'd take being out on the field over that any day.

[He drops his chin into a palm as he sketches out a jar and a peanut butter sandwich.]

That's a fair request but for all we know you might end up with fish-flavored jelly.

[Being a hero is what he is, Cayde. It's his purpose. It's why he has value.]

No paperwork for me. Guess it can't catch me.

[He sighs and considers that.]

Could probably still use that to cook.

[One could say that about Guardians. But it didn't mean you couldn't have some fun while being one.]

Heh. Yeah, well you aren't heading an entire group of Hunters.

[Cayde, in a position of authority? Perish the thought. There's been plenty of times he'd rather not be stuck with the job, however.]

Just not with peanut butter, right?

I don't lead. I just scout ahead.

[Cayde didn't look like a leader. It's fine.]

Nah, peanut butter goes into Moroccan chicken stew.

That's what us Hunters do. Scout. Sneak. I prefer doing things over telling people to do things. But then any Hunter would.

[He glances over, arching a brow.]

Oh, that sounds tasty. What I'd really kill for is a decent bowl of spicy ramen.

[Well, he doesn't think he's very like Caybe, but sure, it works.]

Ramen would be nice. I miss noodles. ALl forms of noodles.

We needa figure out how to make noodles like yesterday. It's just, what, some flour substance, water, uhh... salt? I think? Damn, I should've paid more attention to Jin when he was cooking. Then again I don't think I ever saw him actually make the noodles...

[Tommy sighs. Dammit, Tommy loved no food as much as noodles. They were, you know, not here.]

I should ask the Agrii for flour, but they'd give me, you know, flowers.

Yeah. Yeah, that they would. Nothing at the greenhouse we can use?

Not that I've figured out yet. And even if there was a suitable grain, we'd have to find a way to turn what grain we find into a flour.
