purramid cafe.

[ working at the purramid cafe has been an interesting experience, to say the least -- sylvia enjoys her job and has learned a lot about how to be a barista! ...however, she's still a little clumsy with handling dishes sometimes, and while she hasn't broken anything, she's prone to letting things spill a little or overflow from the cups. she's getting better at it, promise...but that doesn't mean she's without unhappy customers. ]

Miss. You filled the cup way too much, and now there's a coffee splatter on my shoe!

Gah-- [ sylvia gasps, but she doesn't really turn around to face the customer because she's in a scramble to make her next order. she gives them a few hurried glances and an apologetic look, but it doesn't seem to placate the woman at all. ] Sorry about that! I'm really sorry, I swear I didn't mean for that to happen!

It doesn't matter if you meant it or not, you got my brand new shoes dirty with a coffee stain!

[ feel free to tell sylvia to be more careful, or tell the customer to take a chill pill. or watch. maybe you're the customer who's next in line, even! ]

blink and miss 'em.

[ sylvia is among the volunteers at pile's petagorium, doing her best to rally all the cats together. she has a bowl of cat food next to her and has attracted a few kittens to her side, but there are still a bunch running amok. she's not very good at this, judging by the frantic expression on her face. she didn't have to work with the cats at the cafe, so she has...absolutely no experience in this department whatsoever, and it shows in how she can't quite get the cats that aren't hungry to settle down.

she reaches for one that sniffs at her feet, but the kitten poofs just before she can touch it. she heaves a heavy sigh, shoulders slumping as she runs a hand through her hair. ]

This was a mistake. Ughhh, this was such a mistake.

[ she tries to say that under her breath, but it comes out a little louder than she'd intended for it to. that being said, a little help would be appreciated! ]

[stardustish]

Hahaha, good! I'm glad you're a fan of puns, just like I am!

[ this guy is super cool. nice. but she can't help but pause at the mention of giant robots. ]

Hm? What do you mean, giant robots?

[galrarm]

I might be biased, but it's the best sense of humor.

[ He laughs lightly, then nods. It's easy to talk to this girl, honestly. Shiro absentmindedly pets a cat that's appeared in his lap as he speaks. ]

Back home, I lead a group of people who pilot giant, magical space robots. They just happen to be in the shape of lions.

[stardustish]

What? Space robots?! That's super cool!

[ okay, this guy's cool points went up by like. a thousand. ]

What's it like, being out in space? Hey, do aliens really exist?

[galrarm]

It's amazing.

[ And just from that, the way his voice goes all warm and awed... it's something he's really passionate about. ]

There's nothing like being up there, surrounded by stars, going to different planets, seeing possibilities you've never even thought of... And yeah, aliens definitely exist. There are a ton of different alien races, too.

[stardustish]

Holy cow, that's...that's incredible! You're an astronaut, then!

[ she's so intrigued. she should've expected the alien thing given that so many people from here are from different planets and realities, but it helps to have that confirmed anyway! ]

[galrarm]

You got it in one.

[ He laughs a bit, petting one of the kittens. It's strangely comfortable, talking to this girl. She's got so much vibrant energy, and... well, the puns are definitely in her favor. ]

I didn't start out piloting a giant robot lion, though. I had slightly humbler beginnings.

[stardustish]

That's so cool! I'm talking to a space explorer...wow. I didn't think I'd ever meet one in my life!

[ she tilts her head slightly. ]

Hmm? What do you mean by "humbler beginnings"?

[galrarm]

Well, there are at least a couple others here.

[ She's so excited... it's nice. Shiro chuckles, though. ]

I'm from Earth--I was a part of the Galaxy Garrison, which trains up astroexplorers. Before finding the lions, I'd never realized there was so much out there. [ ... maybe he's editing here, just a little bit, but it's not untrue. ] The farthest I went then was just to Kerberos, and that was in an Earth ship.

[ Just to Kerberos, he says, like that isn't amazing in itself. ]

[stardustish]

Kerberos-! Isn't that a moon somewhere out there? Not sure which planet, but...

[ dang. DANG!!! ]

Oh man, what year was it where you're from?! That's gotta take some seriously advanced technology!

[galrarm]

Pluto.

[ So pretty far!! ]

It's-- [ INSERT YEAR HERE ] --so... yeah, we've had a while to really refine our technology. Honestly, if it weren't for that? I wouldn't have been able to accomplish half the things I could.

Skill is one thing, but having a good ship is another.
