It was just a single step, but you don't always take the same path.

Yunno is hard at work with a box of electronics and a series of textbooks. Well, really he's more inside the box of electronics and ducking out to consult The Encyclopedia of Electric Circuits or an apparent High School text Fundamentals of the Mass Effect: a Modern ApproachThis

Momiji, who is presently leaning over Yunno's box, is a fan of small, furry things, in general. Small furry things moving this way and that and messing around with wires and reading, though?

"Awww..."

He feels totally justified in this and in the big grin on his face - it's adorable!

[magic_ferret]

Yunno has survived a depressing number of things by being cute and hard to hit. Plus it's great for relaxing and those tight fits when you build something.

"Hello, could you hold this for a moment?" asks Yunno indicating a fairly large piece of plastic with holes punched in it, "I need to get the first part straight before I can connect that one."

[candied_rabbit]

Eee, and it talks, too! (Though, admittedly, in Milliways, he actually expects this, by now.) In any case, though, he quite happily holds the plastic, looking between it and the ferret-at-work quite delightedly.

"Okay...uhm, what is it?"

[magic_ferret]

Yunno has his head back inside the box already, so the reply is muffled.

"I'm trying to build the demonstrator they show in the book." The last word is accompanied with a rear foot pointed at the high school text book. "Ah, got you."

That is followed with a series of clicks and snapping noises from inside the box with Yunno.

[candied_rabbit]

It takes a great deal of effort for Momiji to keep from moving over to poke his head towards the box - curiosity is not something he's good at restraining - but he stays put where he is, lest he mess anything up. Not that it stops him from shifting up onto his tiptoes so he can see more from his present location.

"What's a demonstrator?" he asks.

[magic_ferret]

"It shows how something works, usually so a group can see it," answers Yunno as he pulls himself back out, "This is one from a different universe than I'm from. I need the board now please."

He reaches out with both front paws.

[candied_rabbit]

"Alright." The rabbit-boy hands over the plastic with a still-confused smile. He hasn't a clue what this demonstrator thing is, and he's not sure whether he should feel dumb for not knowing or whether it's just something they don't have, where he's from.

"It looks really complicated."

[magic_ferret]

Yunno the exposition for a large part of his canon. It happens.

"It's not to bad," judges Yunno, "My name is Yunno Scrya, please call me Yunno."

The last phrase is muffled again as he heads back into the box.

[candied_rabbit]

"Yunno? Okay! I'm Momiji Sohma." The teen enthuses, moving over to properly look inside the box, now that his hands are free.

"But just Momiji's fine."

[magic_ferret]

It's poorly lit by a green glow and consists mostly of the plastic boards, masses of wire and a wide range of electronic components. That and a couple of crystals that pulse with an odd inner light.

"Good to meet you Momiji," says Yunno after he slides the last connection into place, "Are you doing anything interesting lately?"

Yunno is poor at small talk. Thank goodness he meets most of his friends, the first time anyway, during fights.

[candied_rabbit]

"Just school, mostly."

Momiji rubs a hand along the back of his neck, looking mildly apologetic about not having in awesome adventures to recount. But awesome adventures are hard to come by, where he's from, and he's learned that regaling new acquaintances with accounts of shopping trips and games of cops and robbers is often not the best idea.

"It's not really as neat as making your own...demonstrator-thing."

[magic_ferret]

All of Yunno's awesome adventures start or end in hospital visits. It's a little hard to keep the awesome up under those conditions.

"Ah. I've been stuck here for a bit now. Otherwise I wouldn't be tinkering around with this," Yunno stops to think for a moment, "What are you doing at school? I didn't go to a school really, you see."

[candied_rabbit]

"...Just school stuff, sort of. Math and English and history and stuff." The blonde offers a small shrug in answer to the question, indicating that, perhaps, he is not the greatest academic the world has ever known.

"Did they not have school for ferrets, in your world?"

[magic_ferret]

Yunno's a bookworm.

"Not for ferrets no, but I'm not always one. I think I'd miss my thumbs a great deal if I could never turn human again," says Yunno, "We, the Scrya clan I mean, move around a lot. I learned most of what I know from home classes or working along side clan members on digs or in a library."

[candied_rabbit]

"Ohh...so, you just turn into a ferret? Cool!"

Momiji smiles wide, grabbing a chair and slipping into it with an eager look on his face. It's not every day you meet someone else who turns into a furry mammal, occasionally.

"So, why's your clan move around so much?"

[magic_ferret]

Yunno would shrug, but that looks weird on a ferret. He spreads his forepaws instead.

"We went where the work was. Scryas are well, mostly we work as scholars and researchers. You have to go to new dig sights to find unique artifacts and most libraries keep the really interesting books inside and don't loan them out."

"What's your family like?"
