Fifty-First Theory [Written/Voice/Action]

[This morning, instead of going for his usual run, Don settles himself at his desk in the back room. The door is open and a pencil is poked thoughtfully between his teeth. When he begins to write, it isn't filtered, but courtesy of a translation-shield, anyone trying to read the entry will see something that looks more like a Danish cryptogram than

[When Don goes out on his run, he might spot this little critter sitting peacefully by the riverbank south of the plaza, seemingly just basking in the night and the sounds of nature.]

[You're not the only one to think that, Don. |D]

There was a forest and a lot of hot springs. Pommy used to live with a family there in a log cabin.

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don nods.] Luceti must be more like home to you than where you lived before.

[action]

[bemyused]

Mmm-hmm! But Pommy still misses Diamond City a lot, even if Pommy wasn't there for long before coming to Luceti. There were a lot of interesting things going on, and a lot of different people!

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

[As interesting as this is, Don has been sitting still too long. The night chill is starting to creep in.]

Do you want to walk with me?

[action]

[bemyused]

Sure thing! Pommy wasn't doing much anyway.

[Hooray, new friend! This night is officially awesome.]

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don has his doubts about how fast a creature with no legs can walk, so he sets off at a leisurely pace.]

Are you often out at night?

[action]

[bemyused]

Only sometimes. Pommy doesn't usually like the dark, because it can be scary. But Luceti is nice and quiet compared to Diamond City, so Pommy is okay going out at night here! Plus, Pommy couldn't sleep and Pommy was bored.

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

[He can identify with most of that.]

I'll probably be out for at least the next few nights. You're welcome to join me again.

[action]

[bemyused]

Sure! Pommy's doesn't mind company.

What's your name? Pommy's name is Pommy!

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

[... Yes, he had already inferred that.]

My name's Donatello. You can call me Don.

[action]

[bemyused]

Nice to meet you, Don! So is there any particular reason you're going to be out at night?

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

I go running. I've been doing it in the morning, but now that an enemy of mine has gone home, I'm allowed out after dark again.

[action]

[bemyused]

Don had an enemy in Luceti? That must've been scary!

[action]

[i_speak_softly]

I never even saw him... but I didn't like knowing he was here.

[action]

[bemyused]

Well, if he was still here in Luceti, Pommy would've definitely helped Don fight him! [Somehow he thinks that this should be reassuring.]
