Get This Man Some Hobbies

[theworstmanyouknow]

Who: Anyone
What: Just a man trying to find purpose in his life again :c
Where: Observation Room
When: Shrug Emoji - Some months after his arrival
Warnings: It's Easthies. ACAB

 

Easthies had been here sometime, enough to at least get a relative hang of this strange technology. It was far out of the scope of anything he was used to back home, but he had at least settled on the knowledge that most of this wasn't forbidden magic and therefore safe to use. He, of course, still refused to believe it wasn't some form of magic, even if he didn't understand it himself. Because if it wasn't magic then what did he-- There really was no point in thinking about that, because it was magic and there was nothing else to it. 

He had slowly recognized his lack of authority here, and he respected that, but that didn't mean he could slack in his duties. There was still the safety of the humans on board, as few as they may seem. The sentience of other beings, organic and mechanical alike, provided some... difficulty that conflicted with his own morals. He had no problem wiping the memory of everyone that dared opposed him and Witch Law before and he would do it again without hesitating, but when the only other witches here were Qifrey and that blasted Watchful Eye of his... There were only so many large mechanical beasts he could take down on his own. And he had tried. 

For now, he had found a place in the observation room, dressed rather casually without his cap, though he still work his witch's cloak as he fiddled with the strange communication device he had been given some time after his arrival. Without his normal duties as a member of the Knights Moralis, he found he was rather at a loss of what to do to fill his time. He heard he could search for information on this thing, he just... had to figure it out. He hadn't really needed it for anything more practical than just the map mostly. Even if he could find the place for such a search, what was he even looking for? This whole thing was pointless and he was just about ready to throw the darn thing and write it all off as useless.

It was quiet here. In a room as huge as this, while both daunting to be in and simultaneously awe-inspiring for the view, it was easy to hide in plain view. Of course, there were the giant-sized furniture pieces that the Cybertronians used to lounge while they watched the passing stars, so it wasn't completely without places to hide if the young Witch were so inclined to.

After slinking into the room and ducking to the side, the lad slipped into his more natural form. Having four legs did make it easier and faster to get around, but he tried to be more careful about it. It was difficult to gauge how people would react, and he'd already accidentally startled Tails once.

Of course, the problem with being able to hide in plain sight meant that the place was large enough that you wouldn't know who else was there until it was too late to back out. Euini only caught sight of the other Witch as he approached the large windows and the deceptively open view of what was beyond the ship. Not just any Witch, but the one Witch he'd been advised to avoid.

He froze where he was, knuckles pressed to his mouth to (hopefully) stifle a gasp. Oh, of all the times to leave his cloak behind! And he'd taken to wearing the new cap Qifrey gave him everywhere. Sporting the other Witch's colors and a teal feather mimicking Alaira's style, it was bound to raise questions.

What was he supposed to do, what should he do?? Maybe he hadn't been seen yet. Yes..! Maybe he could just-

He stepped on the hem of his robes as he attempted to step back, and with another gasp, found himself falling.

Oh no oh no oh no..!

The scuffle was a (welcome) distraction from his frustration with the device. He looks up at the noise, like a fox on alert, catching the scent of a rabbit. He stands from his seat and finally settles on the small boy tangled in his robes on the floor not far away.

A rabbit indeed.

It doesn't take him long to take in the attire. Familiar for once. It would be comforting if it wasn't just an apprentice, especially considering the only other two witches he had managed to meet here. There was something off about it though. Something didn't match.

"Can I help you?" he asked. He was attempting to be polite but it was coming off as more intimidating.

"A-ah, n-n-no, I...I was just..."

Even once Euini is able to get words out, it's difficult to string them into any thing coherent. He swallows, trying again as he quickly ducks his head in something of a bow, awkward when he's still on the floor.

"-sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, sir..!"

There was a quiet whoosh and a pop of displaced air behind Easthies, and then a very large, very curious pink and purple beastformer head (complete with cute little round ears) was peering down at him. "Hey, guy. Whatcha doin?"

Nova Storm was much more relaxed lately than she had been for a while, and her grin was utterly genuine.

Agott i think you mean agott-a-go

Agott had ducked into this room to hide from the metal giant vehicons. They still made her skittish for any number of reasons, and a break seemed good. Her mother had frequently instituted breaks when she was doing poorly in her classes, after all.

She'd just planted her gloved hands on her knees to pant, when movement out of her peripherals had her raising her head sharply.

That-

Oh. Oh, no.

That was the same man Qifrey and Olruggio had very firmly told her to avoid at all costs. She knew that, her freshly tended to palms burned knowing that, but she couldn't just... leave, right? That would be suspicious, and most of a lifetime as the first heir to a high ranking house straightened her spine before she realized what she was doing.

And what she was doing was not running.

Instead, Agott nodded deeply to him and knelt on one knee, the way she'd been taught to before and after her failed exam. "Master Easthies," she said to his feet in the calm, even voice she'd learned well. "It's an honor and a comfort to meet a member of the knights moralis out here. I am Agott, apprentice of master Qifrey and the charge of Master Olruggio."
