RP: YSS Heartbreaker [Mission 3 Aside 3] SUPER MEGA DEATH EAGLE F*** YEAH!!

Edto Xar'Sivaree

Lizard Freak!
Inactive Member
Cabin 4, 1 week, 4 days after M3, morning

Edtoto woke up, groggy and stiff. She didn't know what time it was, and she certainly wasn't aware of how long she had slept. Sluggishly, she crawled out of bed, noticing the MEGAMI looking down at her.

"Sleep well Toto'tan? You have been asleep for four days, one hour, three minutes, and seventeen seconds from my calculations. I can see you have your arm back in working order as well" Ochiko explained.

Edtoto shook her head and looked down at her arm. It was stiff, and she could tell her actions were going to be weak and slow, but as she clenched her fist the web encasing her arm flaked away. She wouldn't be able to do that if it weren't done, so she had succeeded. "It would seem it did AI Ochiko. A little exercise and I should be back to working order" She said, rubbing her head with her left arm. She had grown accustom to using it, and her right arm was still sore.

"The Taii has ordered that you remain in your Cabin until you are medically and psychologically sound again. To recap..." She explained, letting the message captured from her station play again.

Edtoto simply nodded. "Yes, my station is under attack. I made a fool of myself in front of the Taii, and again in front of Blesi-hei. You don't need to remind me, I'm well aware" She grumbled, wincing as she worked her right arm carefully, trying to get strength back to it. It was there, but she just had to get used to it again. "I plan to do what I can reasonably do while on the heartbreaker in preparation for the ship to rendezvous with the Station. The Taii was right, I can't force the ship to move faster, nor you to get the coordinates quickly.

"Of course Toto'tai. Now, given that you understand the situation you are in and show no signs of a similar breakdown, the Taii has expressed permission for you to exit your quarters and move freely within the ship, maintaining your original boundaries. Be good Toto'tan, I don't want to see you locked up again" the Megami finished, blinking out of existence.

"I'll certainly try" she muttered to herself. The Lizard looked around the room, blinking to get consciousness back gradually. She knew she was going to have to leave the room eventually, so may as well get it over with now. She went to pick up her respirator, but then remembered the mouth rinse she had and used it instead. Then, she examined her helmet, thinking that she should probably wear at least most of her uniform or she would get uncomfortable rather fast. So, she donned her Pilot suit, to help keep the heat in. It had been repaired by someone which she appreciated. Finally ready, she walked out into the ship's corridors, and set out for a small adventure.

People were a little hesitant to approach her on the ship now that she didn't wear her respirator, but now that the signature odor was gone, they were at least kind enough to greet her. Ships were small places; you learned people rather quickly. Eventually, she found herself in the lounge area, wondering if anyone was around.

"Oh, Edtoto. Long time, no see," Skade said, pulling an ear bud out of her left ear, through which Aethersperm was audible before she turned it down, and turning to the Vekimen. "How's the arm?" she asked, looking at the good as new limb. Dang, has it only been a couple of weeks? Her regeneration is almost as fast as getting in a Reconstruction Tube.

Edtoto just shrugged. "Eh, weak. I only woke up like, an hour ago. I was asleep for the last four or so days. Have to get myself back into functioning order before our next mission. We are in... some form of contact with my station" She smiled. "What are you up too?" She asked, looking at the earbuds "That is some interesting music you have. Feels rather aggressive" She added, looking back to Skade.

"Dang, I wish I could take a four day nap," the Neko replied, stretching in her chair. Sunny's been driving me like a slave driver, but it's good to be back on a schedule. "Good to see you up and about though," she continued, smiling back at the lizard. Before she could reply to the alien's first question, she guessed the Technician's true reason for being here. "Yeah, Aethersperm is pretty fun. I haven't listened to them for a while, so I'm treating myself to the band." Wiping the ear bud on her uniform, she held out the tiny speaker to Edtoto with one hand and patted the seat next to her with the other. "Come on over and see if you like it."

Edtoto walked over and set down beside skate, holding the earbud and placing it against her head. She didn't have ears, so the concept was a little lost on her. They had ears, though, so she figured it was convenient for them. After the song had played through, she chuckled. "Could you play the song again?" She asked.

Having turned the volume up slightly, since she wasn't sure how the volume levels meant for ear canals would translate to bone conduction, but Skade was pleased beyond words when the Vekimen asked for her to replay the song. "Sure," she replied, hitting the replay button.

Edtoto continued to listen to the song, asking Skade to repeat it a couple times more. Once she had heard it for or five times, she stopped the song from playing entirely. She seemed to be concentrating on something, before she opened her muzzle. Suddenly, the intricate, hard-hitting riffs of the song started to play, only she was the one making the sounds. Superficially, the song sounded exactly the same, only a real fan would be able to tell that she was leaving out some of the more complex undertones of the song. Her knack for parrotry went even higher as she took on an /exact/ replica of the lead and backup vocalists voices. It was like Skade had plugged his music player into her and was just using her as a speaker. Her concentration seemed to intensify as she hit the solo. She dropped some notes, but the she was still able to make it sound good.

Once the Neko realized what the alien was doing, which was around the first round of swear words, she got up and closed the door to the lounge. I'm so glad I didn't show her the song about the Empress. Turning back to the Vekimen, she stared at her with a mixture of awe and concern. I wish I didn't have to worry about being caught because this is so awesome.

Once she stopped, she took a deep breath and groaned. "That is quite the hard song to replicate. I remember I replicated one for Ingrid which was much easier to simplify than that." She chuckled, panting heavily.

After Edtoto had finished her rendition of SUPER MEGA DEATH EAGLE F*** YEAH!!, Skade clapped in approval, and said, "That was really cool, Edtoto." Noticing the alien's panting, she went over to the cold water dispenser on one side of the lounge and filled a couple of cups of water. "I was wondering why you wanted to listen to that one song over and over again," she continued, handing one of the cups to the Vekimen. Wonder if she could have done the extended version of the song...lets leave that for another time.

Edtoto smiled a little at the water, pouring it into her muzzle. "It's a talent of mine. Not many Vekimen are accustomed to utilizing our broad vocal ranges, or being able to understand the more complex aspects of your music I don't believe. The Vekimen Language has gotten rather bland over the last millenia on the station, so it has been quite difficult," She explained, all the while drinking the water. She obviously didn't need her muzzle to talk. "It would be easier if there was another Vekimen with me, so that we could get all the notes. I've been practicing a song for kind of a cheezy reason lately" She said, looking at the ground. "Or well, I was before the last mission. Been pretty out of commission since then," She added.

"Well, I think you did pretty dang good on your own, all things considered," the Technician replied, drinking from her own cup. All the things you learn when you hang out with the aliens. Like she can do the ventriloquist trick, like whenever. "What have you been practicing for, if you don't mind me asking?"

Edtoto seemed to get embarrassed, as her mane of tines seemed to contract and press closer to her head. "Well, when I was first on the ship, I demonstrated my ability to another crew member with a slightly more intimiate outcome. However, my breath ruined it, so I've been thinking of trying it again to make up for the horrible outcome of the previous attempt. I just hope they will appreciate it..." She said softly, looking down.

Nodding, the Neko took another drink of water. I'm assuming that she's talking about Ingrid. But if she doesn't want to name her crush, I won't push. "Well, if they really do care, they'll appreciate the effort you put into preparing for it, regardless of the outcome." Smiling, she playfully nudged the Vekimen with her elbow, "Though, with the performance you just put on, I think you'll do great."

Edtoto smiled, then frowned. "I sorta made a mistake though. I... Well I kinda kissed her before I went to sleep and haven't talked to her since... I have no idea what I am doing with your kind. Honestly, I've avoided the showers with you all in them, despite my kind doesn't sweat or generally don't waste water to clean ourselves. The Captain had to talk to me about that actually..." She muttered softly, seeming even more embarrassed.

"Yeah, the Captain can be kind of intimidating," Skade replied. What was that about showers? Oh...is she wondering about... The Neko pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance, trying to keep back the headache that was threatening to come. When that had calmed down, she said, "Well, if you didn't completely ruin it, you should be able to figure something out." Realizing her potential faux pas, she hastily continued, "Which I'm sure you'll be able to do. Maybe she just needs some space to think about how she thinks about you." Sighing, she said, "I don't really have much more experience in this field to be honest." Raising her cup and finding it empty, she got up to fill it, but turned and asked, "Want more water, Edtoto?"

Edtoto shook her head. "I can't drink a lot of water at once. It will screw up my insides if I take a lot at once," She said, holding up her hand. "Thanks for the offer, and the help anyway. I think I am going to wander the ship some more, stretch out my arm some, try to get it going. Maybe I can get permission from the Taii to let me into the vents to practice climbing," She said standing up. "Unless you have something you wanna do?"

The Technician looked at empty space, looking up her schedule and sighing. "Unfortunately, I got to get back to work. No rest for the wicked, right?" Drinking her new cup of water in one long swallow, she threw away the cup, then patted the alien on the shoulder. "Good luck getting permission and I hope you get feeling better, physically and emotionally speaking."

Edtoto nodded, smiling. "Well, I won't hold my breath," She said, leaving to go wander the ship again.
