[catlordbeyond]

[The transmission begins as audio. A probably male voice conveying a few syllables that may or may not convey correctly as a weak expletive.]

Whiskers....

[After a brief pause, the transmission switches to video, displaying a furry, vaguely feline humanoid in an ill-fitting bodysuit.]

It's definitely sending now! [He flashes a grin, exposing sharp

Comments

[catlordbeyond]

[Smile.] Uh, Hello.

In space? But we're- At least, I seem to be in a city. If this is a ship, it's- well, it's a pretty big ship.

[He shakes his head slowly, then looks directly at the recording device.] What's your name?

[catlordbeyond]

[He lifts his left paw, more a clawed hand, to wave in greeting.] Naoki Kashima. [He pauses briefly to see if his pronunciation is corrected.]

I'm Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats. Is Nekomata a Cat? Sorry, I don't recognize the name.

[lets_roooock]

[Headtiiiiilt. Twitch of trigger finger. Goddam, she needs a gun. ]

Hey. No one here to do your fetch and carry.

fucking officers

[video]

[catlordbeyond]

[New species. All right.]

Sorry. Sorry! I don't believe we should enslave other species. [Some flailing of hands in protest.] Tygra's my brother. [As if that explains it.]

Do you know where here is?

[video] did you like that dramatic whitespace? sorry V_V

[lets_roooock]

Enslaved? [Whoa dude. Dude. Whoa.]

Your brother. You 'order' your brother around. [She thinks about Carmen, her little sister, who followed her into the Corps.] Yeah that's much better.

[video] Lion-O interpreted it as a lengthy stare. :)

[catlordbeyond]

Right. Some Cats want to enslave the other species. But! I'm changing that!

[Faint growl.] Much better. All he talks about is how much better he'd do things, if I don't give him commands.

[betweentheribs]

You're a talking cat. [Yes. Pointing out the obvious here. wtg, Shelby.]

[catlordbeyond]

I am. [Grin.] Thunderian. Lord of the Thundercats, actually.

Are you still trying to figure out where or when we are?

[betweentheribs]

What are Thundercats? [:|a]

Sometimes. The planet we're on is called Coruscant. We're among the stars. As for when... [A shrug.] This is apparently beyond our own worlds, so I don't believe time will help.

[catlordbeyond]

[He reaches up to scratch at his ear, but then realizes this might be rude. His clawed hand just hovers beside his face as he answers.]

Thundercats are.... [How does one explain what is obvious to them?] Well, we Cats call ourselves Thunderians, but not all Thunderians are Thundercats. We're like the ruling class. Except, not all are royal by blood. Elite! Thundercats are the elite.

[Deep sigh, with a bit of a slouch. He's sure that was confusing for others as it was for him.]

ROOMIE ACTION (hope this is ok?)

[shehulksmash]

[Hm. Jennifer's been tucked up in her bunk and studying the ways of Coruscant; listening to the network feed like radio/tv. Another new arrival? They sure just pile up recent--wait, is that an echo?

She hops out of bed and focus to turn tall and green again. It was nice to regain the regular human calm and focus sometimes, but Jenni is She-Hulk and She-Hulk is Jenni--ready for action means green!

She pops her head out of her room and into the apartment and listens. Yup, there's a muffled voice that corresponds with the voice from the datapad. New roomie!]

Oh wow, aren't you cute!

[A CAT GUY. Hey Lion-O, have a tall green women sticking her head into your room form an now open door.]

ROOMIE ACTION (Totally)

[catlordbeyond]

[Lion-O flinches at the intrusion He'd realized there was a room beyond his own door, but still.... He's surprised. And 'cute', apparently.]

Hello! [His voice goes up all high. He tries again, lower this time.] Hello.

Do we.... Do we know each other? [Because last time a tall female was so familiar with him, she turned out to be his girlfriend. Or...the girlfriend of his ancestor, whose body he happened to be in. Long story.]

ROOMIE ACTION /o/

[shehulksmash]

[Blink. Oh! Awkward, she just jumped in uninvited didn't she...]

Ah! Hello. Sorry, no I bet you don't! I... My room in on the otehr side of the apartment and I heard you talking.

[She takes half a step inside and points back out the door; her room, that way. Roommates, sort of!]

Thought I'd say hallo in person rather than over the network--the datapad you have there, I mean. I'm Jennifer Walters, known as She-Hulk by some but Jenni is just fine!

ROOMIE ACTION /o/

[catlordbeyond]

[Lion-O stands and tries to look as presentable as possible in this bodysuit he's found himself wearing.]

Jenni.

My name's Lion-O? [He says it almost in question, not prepared to grasp that he's been transported to another universe, more than he might be experiencing some form of time-travel or recorded events.]

Did you see who took my clothes?

[derpydrjimmy]

[Well he's seen a bunch of different alien species by now so he's not too surprised to see a cat person]
Well, not sure about the date here, it was 2011 back where I come from, and I guess you serve whichever side you want, and yes there is a whole lot of futuristic technology...

[catlordbeyond]

[Lion-O smiles, with a brief flash of sharp teeth. He appreciates someone supplying such direct answers.]

Thanks. That doesn't sound like our reckoning of seasons, but my, uh, housing companion did say something about time and space. [He's never had a roommate before.]

Are there many of these droids? I think I just commanded one to bring me clothes.

[derpydrjimmy]

Yeah. It's pretty weird. I heard that some people here meet their future kids or something!

Yeah, they're pretty common. Some are really quite nice!

[catlordbeyond]

[Future kids? He just shakes his head.]

Are droids people or machines?
