We Must All Change

Characters: Ienzo and Aeleus
Content: Bros being bros
Location: Aeleus' room
Time of Day: Afternoon
Warnings: None

For all that Ienzo was familiar with the fact that the Satellite did, in fact, occasionally force changes on its inhabitants, he had to say that this latest was the last straw. He'd suffered through being made a pony, and something he still hadn't entirely categorized without so much a complaint. This, on the other hand, is beyond even his ability to tolerate. In short, he is nothing so much as almost adorable (he has no better words for it) and that's something he certainly isn't willing to simply write off. It'll only make things awkward, regardless of how people already tend to see him.

As such, it's tempting to simply remain in his room. Tempting, but perhaps not the most efficient use of his time. Or at least, not the most conducive to doing anything but sit and wallow in his on thoughts. That and he remembers starting a pillownest in Aeleus room during his previous stay and perhaps it's time to see what's come of that, or even if it's still there at all. Still, it's with no small amount of nervous caution that he quietly sneaks down the hall to Aeleus' room. No sense in letting too many people catch him when he feels utterly ridiculous and utterly less than inclined to speak to most people.

There's a breath of a pause, outside of Aeleus' door, and then he knocks quietly. Courtesy, after all, is of the utmost importance even now.

"Since when have our lives ever tended towards the simple?" Ienzo asked, with a slight shrug. Even before Radiant Garden had fallen into ruin, no one could have called life in the castle simple. Perhaps it hadn't been complicated, but it had been generally busy, albeit in a good way. Thus, as far as Ienzo was concerned, if they could put their general familiarity with keeping themselves busy to good use then there was absolutely no reason to do so.

"I rather doubt either of our captors - if they can truly be called such - will be at all inclined to explain. No doubt we'll have to look elsewhere."

"We can attempt to find out how the machine works; our captors seem to be rather busy at the moment." He was fairly sure they wouldn't be able to get to the machine, but it was the start of an idea. No one else seemed to be looking for a way out any longer.

"It might also be worthwhile to see if we can finding anything relevant from the earliest days of the Satellite. If we can find how the machine was originally meant to function it should be significantly easier to figure out how it may changed."

This is, admittedly, assuming that there even is documentation about such a thing, but Ienzo is cautiously optimistic all the same. For all that their captors seem to be generally inept, documentation is an important part of any significant undertaking and he'd certainly imagine something like this to be significant.

"I suppose we can try to ask questions of Mike or the bots." Aeleus wasn't sure how helpful that would actually be, but one could hope.

[wefallinsilence]

"It couldn't hurt," Ienzo answered with a shrug. Even if they didn't manage to get anything of use from them, they'd at least have made the attempt, and as far as Ienzo was concerned that would have to be enough for the time.

"...Perhaps after this week." Aeleus wasn't really done hiding in his room from this week yet, unless it was going to be a pillownest expedition. That was an acceptable use of time.

[wefallinsilence]

That was something Ienzo could agree with. For all that his current appearance might make it easier to find the materials they'd need to continue on the pillownest, he still wasn't certain he wanted to be seen all that much. Aeleus was one thing. The general populace of the Satellite was quite another.

"Ah, that might be for the best, yes."

[thesilenthero]

"I have books here that I took from the library last week. Some of the good books," Aeleus clarified; it was nice that people had gone to such effort to get decent reading materials.

[wefallinsilence]

Ah, now there was something promising. Even if they would likely need to leave at some point over the rest of the week, the idea of simply opting to more or less become hermits for the duration had never seemed so appealing.

"We could remain here, I suppose..."

[thesilenthero]

"It would make for a nice day." Or week. They'd have to come out next week to try to find answers; hopefully whatever was coming up next wouldn't be as strange as the effects this week had brought.

[wefallinsilence]

"It would."

A nice, comfortable day (or week), free from all the unwanted stares and remarks about his current appearance... yes, he could get behind that. Especially if it were spent in the company of Aeleus.

"Shall we?"
