[ Marinette is no stranger to electronics-- a few clicks here, a few clicks there and... she pretty much has the hang of it. At least the jist of what she needs in order to use the console.

On the other hand, the speaking part...? ]

Oh... eheheh. Hi, I'm Marinette.

[ She waves awkwardly at the screen. ]

I'm still trying to put everything together but... I think I understand the basics. Since this is my first time out on my own, I thought maybe I should get some help. Where do people live here? [ ... ] And how can I make some money? I'm pretty good with my hands. [ Specifics, Marinette... specifics. ] ...My baking isn't as good as my dad's, but I did learn from a pro. Oh! And I love sewing, so... there's... that...

[ This whole thing has gone pretty smoothly so far. Huh. Great. ]

I think that's... it for now. Anything you can tell me would be really great, thanks!

[This is really awkward for Poe because he usually doesn't look like a Sugar Glider. But since he knows Adrien was friends with a Marientte that was here a few weeks ago, he wants to say hi.]

Hello, Marinette, it's nice to meet you. I'm Poe Dameron and...I don't always look like this. If you don't mind the question, is your last name ' Dupain-Cheng'?

[Talking animal. At first Marinette looks around like maybe the voice came from somewhere else but... that's not it, is it. Taking a second look well...

It's so... cute.]

Huh? Yeah, that's me.

[Yup. Talking tiny marsupial, wagging his tail because it's hard to smile when your face is all furry.]

Ah, that's great to hear. I'm friends with a boy named Adrien, he mentioned you.

Oh! You're a friend of Adrien's?

[...she can't possibly doubt the words of something as cute as that.]

...wait. [Adrien talked about her? Ohhhh noooo...] Adrien did? Me? Heheheh... good things, I hope.

[Cool as a cucumber ladies and gentleman.]

We haven't know each other for long but I like to think so.

[Poe rarely lies, promise. He's terrible at it.]

Yes, apparently you were in his city before and then left, he seemed quite sad about that.

...Adrien said something about that to me too, but I don't remember anything like that.

[...a-aww. That's probably the greatest thing anyone could have told her.]

He was? Well... I don't know about before, but I don't have any plans on disappearing on anyone anytime soon.

That's all right. Sometimes people goes back to their world and forget about this place. Don't worry too much.

[Poe is just happy to see more of Adrien's friend here, the boy needs them. And Marinette seems like a really nice girl.]

That's good to hear. If you are going to stay in this city you need to be careful about certain sectors, some are more dangerous than others. The Welcome enter has all the information you need about them but if you have questions, here I am.

I know I look ridiculous now...[Poe pulls at the fur at his side, he's so fluffy.] ...but I hope this will be fixed eventually.

No, no... it's not so bad. So-- what happened to you?

[Adrien had said something similar, about not being quite himself and magic...]

...it's not dangerous, is it? I'm not really worried about myself-- I'm pretty durable hehe... but Adrien mentioned something like that too.

I'm not sure. I was myself a few days ago and sudden, while I was in the middle fo the street, I turned into this.

[Poe hasn't figured out yet that magic had to do with his current predicament but he had met kitty!Adrien.]

No, I don't think it is. A friend of mine is now a lion but he still acts like himself, our bodies changed but our minds are still the same.

Weird stuff like that is actually pretty normal where I come from, but at lEast we always knew what the cause was.

[It sure sounds like magic, but who or what's at the root of it. She can't help but feel like she should be doing something.]

...but that's a relief. Hopefully someone can figure something out soon.

[There has to be some real complications to suddenly being in an animal body.]

Really? People turns into animals in your world?

[Poe's universes is not exactly known for its normalcy but this is something else.

He nods, then scratches one of his ears with a paw.]

Me too. But I know it could be worse, I can still fly like this at least.

Well, not exactly like this, but... there is a guy who turns people into supervillains. Their powers are preeeetty unique depending on the person, although this is new even to me.

[...wait.]

...you mean... you could fly before this?

[Naturally she's imagining something crazy rather than the more obvious-- which hadn't even crossed her mind.]

Right, that sounds...super normal and logical. Adried did mention Chat Noir and Ladybug, those are the villains they fight I'm guessing?

[There's a nod and Poe wags his tail happily.]

Yes but not on my own. I am a pilot, I have a spaceship.

[Yes, spaceship..]

Yeah. People have been turned to stone, mummified... myself included... the town was overrun by pigeons... it's kinda crazy on a daily basis. But Chat Noir and Ladybug always manage to set things straight again.

[A SPACESHIP...]

That's... really cool.

What kind of power can do that? I can see you are fine now but I hope no one got badly injured.

[THE MOST AWESOME X-WING....that sadly isn't here with Poe. He's very sad about that.]

Heh, thank you miss. I wish Black One was here.

Well... it's not any one person. What he does is manipulate people by using their negative emotions against them. They turn into an entirely different person practically. And the abilities he gives them are different depending on what they were upset about. It's... really unpredictable.

[ To say the least. ]

But that's why Chat Noir and Ladybug are so important. They're the only ones who can stop them.

Interesting. The Dark side of the Force, something that exists in my world, does similar things to their users. It doesn't turn them into animals or zombies but it gives them strength powered by their anger.

[And that is a very, very bad thing.]

So I've heard. I haven't got to met him yet but Chat Noir is in the city. He's part of the police Task Force.

That... doesn't sound good either. But it's kind of nice to know my world isn't the only one where stuff like that happens.

[Adrien had said so too. Well... she'd have time to smoke him out later. If he did get caught up in this mess, she's sure he can probably take care of himself. She's more worried about Adrien and the others.]

I see... well, it's a relief to know he's around. He might act funny, but he's a pretty reliable guy if you're ever in trouble.

It really isn't but there's also Light User who are more focused on a spiritual and fair use of the Force. I came to realize that some things are alike between universes, much more than we first realize.

[Poe scratches one of his ears with a paw before answering.]

Oh? What do you mean by act funny?

It sounds like it.

[...oh boy. How does she even answer this as Marinette? Well-- she said it, so now she has to try.]

Let's see, he's uh... well. He's a terrible flirt. It's hard to tell whether you should be taking him serious or not sometimes. [...] And all those puns...

[If it helps her any, Poe still don't know Chat in person, he will believe what she tells him.]

Maybe he wants to make light of the situation and be sure people don't get too stressed when there's danger?

Are his puns really that bad?

Edited 2016-07-27 22:33 (UTC)

[...that certainly gives her room for pause.]

You might have a point. He's definitely not the type to lie. I think-- if it were me, I'd probably be comforted by something like that.

[But all that nice stuff aside--]

But his puns are definitely bad.

Sometimes people up a brave front to make sure other doesn’t get too upset and scary. It’s comforting but those same people also need others to look after them, I believe.

[Marinette opens her mouth but surprisingly loses track of her words. Chat Noir? Need someone to look after him? Preposterous. Or... so she thought. But when she thought about the way the two of them fought-- always him putting himself in the way of adversity to protect her...

Even now, knowing that he was probably in some kind of trouble, he'd never been her first priority. 'Chat can take care of himself.' had been her thought, totally by instinct. But he could be suffering just as much while she was messing around.

...that thought. Hurt.]

Wow, I... I never thought of it that way.

[...and if it was true, would he even tell her? No... he'd probably continue to carry it on his own. She can't imagine it any other way.

That... only made it hurt worse.]

...I should thank him when I see him.

[This is Poe for you, Marinette: Terrible emphatic. He wonders about those things.]

We can't always be perfect or infallible, we all need support at some point. It's nothing bad.

I'm sure he will appreciate it.
