[log] Walk in harmony

[orbislife]

Who: Zenyatta and others
What: Talking about ways to keep Home in harmony and talk about what's going on in a more group-like format. Related to Zenyatta's billboard post earlier
Where: Home's sitting area on the first floor
When: Backdated to Day 4, sunset
Other: Party style log. Zenyatta will have his own top if you want to interact with him specifically

By now, Zenyatta hopes that anyone who is interested in talking about the situation and how to keep Home in harmony has seen the notes he left on the bulletin board. Sunset comes, so he removes the old notes and piles them neatly on the table. (Just in case one of the people he conversed with wants to keep the note.) Zenyatta does leave his message of "Hello world. ( ´ ▽ ` )" up. He likes it there.

There are many questions and different experiences among them. A chance to talk with one another will help make their stay easier. This situation is strange, but it need not be an unpleasant one.

<sub>[When the Judge first appears, Maurice is momentarily distracted from his troubles because--kitty! He's always loved animals and even though he's allergic to cats, he feels like maybe holding one right now could be just what he needs.]

[Then he sees its teeth.]

[And then it speaks to him.]

[Maurice's ears spring forward in surprise.]</sub>

Uh--! I'm, y'know. Been...better, been worse.

[chattychat]

[Oh, Maurice. And he hasn’t even been particularly shy about chatting it up throughout this little meeting, either. Then again, the Judge is not a particularly large creature in comparison to the many humans and humanoid shaped creatures in the room. It might have been hard to tell where his voice was coming from.]

[Although it’s sure not hard now as he settles down in front of the centaur.]

Oh? Quite a middling position to be in. Still, I imagine it is considerably more preferable to worse situations.

[horseproblems]

Well yeah...

_{[He wonders quietly if any of his mother's cats had thoughts as wordy as this.]}

How about...how about you? Do you miss your home at all?

_{[He's talking to a cat. Why is this so hard to wrap his head around he is now 3/4 horse.]}

[chattychat]

[Probably, Maurice.]

[At the question, his ears actually flick back, and his normally relaxed posture hunches.]

I am afraid… there is little of my home which might give me any form of solace. [He perks up again.] So such a place as this is quite a bastion of relief for one such as myself. A second chance, one may say.

[horseproblems]

_{[Maurice...doesn't know some of those words.]}

Oh...well, welcome to wherever here is, I guess.

_{[Maybe he should look at this world in a similar light. His old life sure as hell wasn't going anywhere fast.]}

[chattychat]

Indeed, I feel quite welcome! Imagine if you or I arrived here, solitary inhabitants of a large structure, unable to vent our worries or frustrations to another because of our solitude!

While we have many questions, there is in fact little that I would form complaint about.

[horseproblems]

_{[Maurice can think of a few things...but he's explained his situation so many times he just lets out a weary huff and nods, agreeing with the cat. He talked smart. He must know what he's talking about.]}

Yeah...What's your name?

[chattychat]

I am known as The Judge… but for the sake of informality, you may remove “the” when speaking directly to me.

[horseproblems]

_{[A judge cat...well. He talked. Maybe he presided over some kind of kitty court.]}

Okay, your honor.

[chattychat]

[just a little, he preens at the title before getting back on track.]

Considering your unique condition, how has navigating our abode faired for you?

[horseproblems]

_{[Maurice's ears swivel out to the side and he stares beyond The Judge, out into the far reaches of Elsewhere and he is silent for a very long time.]}

Stairs are the worst thing that has ever been invented.

[chattychat]

Ah. So they were a trial. I see!

[This is why toe beans are superior to hooves. He’s just sayin’.]

So I imagine we shall not see you within the upper portions of our dwelling! Where have you been resting if not in the room that you awoke in?
