[Between waking up in his bunk onboard the Twin Roses, to what he initially thought was a pink plushie sarlaac, and being rained on by glitter everywhere he goes. Din really isn't in the greatest of moods. This glitter's going to take a month to clean out of his armor. Agrii you just like to aggravate him don't you? He's not feeling the love at all.

He'd left the hangar to clear his head with an early patrol around the city. What he didn't expect, was to walk into the center of the city, and get roared at. Apparently the Agrii weren't quite done throwing surprises at him today. The video comes on to show his t-visored gaze. If you could see his face he'd look aggravated. However the voice coming out of the vocoder certainly sounds annoyed.]

They can't stop messing with us can they? First the light and glitter. Now this. [Here he flips the camera around to show a rather large blue grey creature, complete with saddle, and bit with reigns, and covered in the falling glitter.]

What the hell is a blurrg doing here? [The creature turns to give another high pitched roar toward the camera. But it seems more annoyed, and distracted, by the shiny stuff that keeps falling on it. Making annoyed sounds in it's futile attempts to shake the stuff off.]

Comments

I laughed at the name suggestion xD

[foundlingfather]

Depends on your point of view.

....I'll take it into consideration. Thanks.

What's your name?

It has a certain ring to it

[kyley_b]

No problem, dude.

Oh, it's Kyle Broflovski.

[foundlingfather]

You arrive not long ago, Kyle?

[kyley_b]

Yeah. I have no idea why I'm here since it seems like everyone else has like, some actual skills, but here I am anyway.

Besides naming weird animals, clearly I'm awesome at that. Uh, what should I call you, sir?

[foundlingfather]

[There's a tilt to the helm.]

Who knows what the Agrii think. When bringing people.

Names Mando.

[kyley_b]

I'm going to pretend it's because I'm smart.

Mando. Okay, cool. Uh, question: does the helmet come off?

[foundlingfather]

If you say so.

[Why is he not surprised that came up? It always does at some point.]

No. The helmet stays on.

[kyley_b]

How come? Are you gross under there?

[foundlingfather]

No. [hat comment makes him curl his fingers into a fist off camera.]

No living thing has seen my face, since I took my creed.

[kyley_b]

What creed is that?

Not trying to be offensive, dude. Different planet.

[foundlingfather]

[He takes a moment to calm down again. This isn't the first time.]

Mandalorian Creed. To become a warrior, I took the creed when I came of age.

[kyley_b]

Okay... we have coming of age rituals where I'm from, but I suspect this is gonna be a lot different than my bar mitzvah.

What's the creed exactly? Or is it secret?

Info is so limited on this X.x

[foundlingfather]

Very. [He doesn't even know what a bar mitzvah is. Although, he has to admit it's nice meeting somebody that doesn't mock the creed. He gets that a lot back home, specially about the helmet.]

It's a set of rules I follow. If my helmet is removed in front of another living thing, I can never put it back on. [Which, certain recent events back home are starting to make him question.] By creed, I also help and protect fellow Mandalorians. [Which this place makes moot, since he's the only one here.]

And...by creed, I have a...foundling in my care. Until he's of age, or I reunite him with his kind.

it's just mysterious!

[kyley_b]

Oh. Okay, that isn't TOO weird, actually, we have religions on earth where people keep their heads covered. Shit, technically even I have to, if I go to Temple. Not my whole face, but still, not that different. [Aside from a helmet being significantly more metal. Metaphorically and literally.]

Okay. I think I get it. So this is like... it gives you an outline for how to live your life. That's pretty cool, dude.

What's a foundling?

[foundlingfather]

[That...that actually surprises him a little. His helmet tilts.]

Really? [The species on his world that cover their faces all the time is rare. Tuskens, Jawas, and some others. But they certainly weren't in steel.] I take it you don't go to the temple often.

Yes. The creed outlines a lot of the things I do. [Of course there's exceptions to it. But he does what he has to.]

It's...an orphaned child. They're taken in, and cared for.

[kyley_b]

Yeah, really. Like, it's just a little hat, not a whole helmet, but it's traditional for my people, yeah. Uhm, I'll be honest, I don't go every week, but, you know. Scheduling. I go when I can.

Is it hard to stick to?

Oh! Oh, shit, there's a little kid here?! [He is visibly distressed by this information.] Dude, if you need any help, I can watch em. I had a baby brother growing up, I'm a pretty good babysitter.

[foundlingfather]

But they don't wear them all the time? [Kyle certainly doesn't seem to be wearing one at the moment.]

No. [Yes, recently anyway.] I've followed the creed since I was young.

I already have people that watch him, when it's needed. [And no offense Kyle, bu they only just met.] ...thank you, however.

[kyley_b]

No, not every denomination does. Like my family aren't Orthodox, so we don't.

Other religions do keep their heads covered all the time. Earth has a lot of religions, if you hadn't guessed.

Like the same age as the kid you're looking after? Which, like, no problem dude but if you get stuck I'll protect the little guy. I like kids.
