"I.... um.... I'm sorry, Puffles, I'm not familiar with all your words, such as 'laboratory.'... ".
Puffles' attention was briefly caught by this first bit, to which he perked an eyebrow and thought possible to explain. However, Simi quickly went on speaking and washed this notion away for the time being - the information she had was far more important to him.
"B-but I do know that Zero's very happy here, I've seen him, though not at his home, and he's been quite comfortable."
Good, Puffles thought to himself. If he is comfortable, then by extension he must be safe...this place must be good to him.
"He was quite estatic about all the food.", spoke Simi amongst a giggle. Puffles' lips curved upwards in a smile and he closed his eyes briefly, nodding.
"Yes...my Master is very fond of nutritional consumables...well, perhaps not nutritional, but certainly consumable. Especially pineapples...I wonder if this forest has those?" He shook his head softly, maintaining his smile. "Miss Simi, you have reassured me of my Master's safety and happiness...I thank---"
"Excuse me! Who was the one that crashed that ship! Falling out of a tree hurts!" A voice riddled with anger pierced the air and drew Puffles' attention immidiately, in turn causing him to stop mid sentence. He shifted in the direction of the voice and his gaze fell on what appeared to be a lady...human he would have assumed, considering her form and attire, were it not for the coloration of her eyes, which seemed to be fluctuating. They appeared red from this distance but Puffles was certain he saw other colours as well. He peered briefly back at Simi for a moment, before looking to the approaching one again
Fear drew across the Cyborg's face, as the earlier worry that he may have inflicted serious injury upon someone resurfaced - though this girl did not look terribly injured, were there others that stood unaccounted for, that Simi did not know about? He held his hand in the air to visually identify himself and spoke.
"I am the one responsible for allowing the vessel to crash."
Fear turned to abrupt seriousness and he continued to speak, with a sort of urgent haste.
"Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention? Do you know of anyone else in this area, and if they need medical attention as well? If there were any causalities I must know immediately so that I can take them to receive treatment."
His tail was arced high and to the side of him, his muscles were all tensed - were there other injuries, Puffles was poised and ready to rush to their aid. Deep down, the Cyborg feared the worst...if he had managed to kill somebody...he could only hope that such was not the case.

Cyborg Companion Puffles

OOC: Hi! 
"Excuse me! Who was the one that crashed that ship! Falling out of a tree hurts!"
Simi- unprepared for such a new voice- cried out a peculiar neighing yelp and danced back a few steps, turning her head swiftly towards the noise and experiencing even more of a shock seeing where it came from.
Human! She's a human!
However, even as Simi stepped backwards cautiously again, she was able to notice that this particular human wasn't exactly what she should call threatening. For one, the human was a young girl, and certainly no man with a bow and arrow. Another trait that caught the unicorn's eyes was the girl's reddish glare. Somewhere in her eyes' depths there were other colors, but scarlets and autumn-red swirls seemed to dominate. This confused Simi, but also relieved her. This human.... must not really be human after all. And her hair was strange, too, a dark night color with the faintest green hiding underneath.
Puffles gave a brief glance at her, which also calmed Simi down. If there was anything threatening around, Puffles was here to give her company.
"I am the one responsible for allowing the vessel to crash," the blue man then spoke. "Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention? Do you know of anyone else in this area, and if they need medical attention as well? If there were any causalities I must know immediately so that I can take them to receive treatment." He seemed to be tense with worry.
"I.... um.... we're sorry for disturbing you," Simi then added, trying to acquaint herself with the new face. "How badly are you hurt? I-I'm sure Puffles will be able to help..." She took a few steps forward, studying the human with concern. "Um...... would you mind telling us your name?"

Lyrial noticed the unicorn's sudden reaction of cautiona and quickly came to the conclusion that the unicorn had a bad experence with them. So she decided to calm down a little bit. So she took a deep breath and started to relax a little bit. Immediatly the colors in her eyes normalized, forming more blue suggesting a more calmer mind set.
"I am the one responsible for allowing the vessel to crash," the blue man then spoke. "Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention? Do you know of anyone else in this area, and if they need medical attention as well? If there were any causalities I must know immediately so that I can take them to receive treatment." So, he was the one responsible for the crash and noise and her sudden dropping from the tree she was napping in. At least he was taking responsibility and trying to help out if need be. But she had only a small bump, might become a bruise later. But nothing serious. As far as anything else in the are she didn't know, the place was rather vacant when she started to sleep.
"I fell from a tree landing on my head and fell unconscious for a few seconds or so, other than that I'm fine. I do not think anything else got hurt as a result of the sudden impact of your vessel's crash. And besides, I can heal myself." She said with ending it with a smile. Ineed, the bump on her head no longer hurt, and even though there was some dried blood in her there was no sign of a cut. She had used her magic to heal such a minor injury. Though it had not been noticable.
"I.... um.... we're sorry for disturbing you, How badly are you hurt? I-I'm sure Puffles will be able to help...Um...... would you mind telling us your name?"
Lyrial looked over to the unicorn with her smile and introduced herself. "Greetings and salutations, I am the great and all-powerful Lyrial Eailiolery!" She said ending it with a curtsy. "And who might the two of you be?" Lyrial was obviously happy to be meeting new people, she was new herself, and the more friends one could make in a strange place was a good choice. Her eyes started to show more yellow, indicating perhaps joy.

Puffles had been correct in his assumption the girl's eyes had been made of many colours, for following a deep breath, they shifted to a predominant blue. She seemed young and apparently possessed some unusual traits...were she simply a unique brand of human, or something else entirely? He couldn't be sure, but he wouldn't settle on an assumption quite yet.
"I.... um.... we're sorry for disturbing you, How badly are you hurt? I-I'm sure Puffles will be able to help...Um...... would you mind telling us your name?" , spoke Simi. Puffles was relieved to hear her...she had faith that he could provide useful assistance, and to a guardian like himself, faith was one of the utmost important factors in his ability to protect and serve. She was also taking steps to make introduction...something Puffles would have likely forgotten to do in his current state.
"I fell from a tree landing on my head and fell unconscious for a few seconds or so, other than that I'm fine. I do not think anything else got hurt as a result of the sudden impact of your vessel's crash. And besides, I can heal myself." That and her resulting smile allowed Puffles to breathe a sigh of relief, and he took a moment to look over the area. Except for the treeline of the forest, all around him was a barren, snowy wasteland. The mangled remnants of the fallen vessel stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the white vista, about a hundred feet away. He made a mental note to do something about the wreck before entering the forest - that is, if he could enter the forest at all.
He snapped back to attention when the girl began speaking again. "Greetings and salutations, I am the great and all-powerful Lyrial Eailiolery!" Puffles eyes widened suddenly and he looked taken aback. He went over her words in his mind...great and all-powerful...Lyrial Eailiolery? Her unusual traits, they must have stemmed from this power...her greatness, she must have been some kind of high being or royalty. It was the only conclusion he could come to, spurred on by his subservient nature. She performed a curtsey and continued. "And who might the two of you be?"
Her anger had quickly turned to kinship and happiness, the coloration of her eyes had turned to a bright, lively yellow...but this did little to remove the shocked expression from the Cyborg's face. Proper respect to those of status was at the core of his being...and to think he had not shown it in this case could only bring thoughts of shaming himself and by extension his Master to the forefront of the Cyborg's mind. Without further hesitation, he fell to one knee and lowered his head, hair falling to the sides to obscure his face.
"My name is Puffles, the Cyborg Companion..." He paused briefly. "I..I had not realized I was in the presence of an being of your status...I have shown carelessness in my actions in the vicinity of your presence and have not leveraged the proper amount of respect to you, Great and All-Powerful Lyrial Eailiolery. I am truely ashamed for these things, and hope that you will forgive my inadequacy of action and thought."
He maintained his position, eyes lowered to the ground. He hoped that his disrespect had not managed to taint Simi's image from her association by proximity with him. It was clear he had overblown this situation, but any statement not clearly marked as a joke he took quite seriously.

Simi blinked, bewildered, as the human's eyes slowly turned to a Sapphire shade. So, she wasn't truly human after all. She had been right about that. The girl had also seemed to calm down, and Simi wondered if that had anything to do with the change of her eyes.
The unicorn also breathed softly in relief as the human gave a smile and replied to her greeting. "Greetings and salutations, I am the great and all-powerful Lyrial Eailiolery!" And to contradict her statement of being all-powerful, Lyrial gave a modest curtsy.
"And who might the two of you be?" As she said this, the human's eyes suddenly swirled again into a new color- this time a warm yellow.
Before Simi could reply, Puffles suddenly knelt down on one knee, his hair brushing onto the side of his face. "My name is Puffles, the Cyborg Companion..."
Simi looked at him curiously from her eye, at a loss.
"I..I had not realized I was in the presence of an being of your status...I have shown carelessness in my actions in the vicinity of your presence and have not leveraged the proper amount of respect to you, Great and All-Powerful Lyrial Eailiolery. I am truely ashamed for these things, and hope that you will forgive my inadequacy of action and thought."
At 'Great and All-Powerful' Simi couldn't help but to giggle a little, taken by surprise. She stopped herself quickly, however, so as not to offend Lyrial. Her focus then went back to the gentle cyborg. Simi was finding the depth of his humble nature even deeper than she had thought, and she found herself humbled.
Stop wandering!
Shaking herself mentally, the unicorn then stated, "A-and I'm Simi. Um...Welcome to the forest." The unicorn gave a smile to add to the welcome. And really, it was good to make friends..... once Simi got past the being-shy-of-everyone-she-met part, of course. And the way her mind wandered.

Lyrial was a little taken back by the cyborg's performance. Amazed at such humbleness was rare on the planets she had been to. A look of confusion at his antics crossed her face but briefly. She may be great and powerful, and her race may be second in power to gods, but she was hardly a bieing of great statys...unless you counted the fact that she destroyed the planet with the hotsprings the goddesses loved to bathe in, that gave Lyrial a great status indeed. Quickly Lyrial got on her own knees and lowered her head so that she could see into Puffles' eyes. "Puffles, you do not need to be so...formal...with me, informal is my thing. Its not like I'm a princess, I'm just a servent of the good gods and goddesses that protect the universe. I have my own faults, and thusly I do not feel like I deserve such a honorable and respectful display, please stand, and think of yourself as my equal, not someone of lesser status." She said with a soft smile and a look in her eyes that spoke of embarrasment.
"A-and I'm Simi. Um...Welcome to the forest." Lyrial looked at the unicorm and stood up. A big smile lit her face.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Simi, and Puffles!" Lyrial exclaimed. She looked closer to the unicorn. Lyrial had never seen a color such as that on an unicorn or any equine before, but it was a wonderful color. And suddenly, Lyrial changed her hair color to match the color of the unicorn's coat.

The Cyborg's eyes had remained affixed to the floor up until the point at which Lyrial came to her knees and lowered her head. Puffles lifted his own to meet her gaze and was at full attention to her as she began to speak. He could only hope that her words would bring forgiveness.
"Puffles, you do not need to be so...formal...with me, informal is my thing. Its not like I'm a princess, I'm just a servent of the good gods and goddesses that protect the universe."
Upon hearing this, Puffles' eyes seemed to widen even more. He had to fight the urge to plant his forehead against the ground - though she had said he needed not be so formal, knowing what she was did not make the situation any less regal for him. She was a servant, similar to herself, but she served under the divine...gods and goddeses she had said. Certainly if beings of such great power had elected her their servant, then she deserved nothing but the utmost respect and servility.
"I have my own faults, and thusly I do not feel like I deserve such a honorable and respectful display, please stand, and think of yourself as my equal, not someone of lesser status."
Puffles did not immidiately rise to her request, however. It was difficult for him to come to terms to that, to have just been informed that he knelt before a servant of the divine only to be told to consider them equals? The Cyborg almost maintained his positioning indefinitely, until he remembered something of particular importance. She reminded him of his Master...much in a very similar way to Lyrial, Zero had always requested that Puffles consider each other equals. Initially, Puffles had refused to acknowledge this request, but this only served to make Zero unhappy. For his Master had not wanted a mere servant to do his bidding, no...Zero had desired a friend. He could find that in Puffles, but only if Puffles resigned to be of equality to his Master...and such the Cyborg eventually succumbed to. Rewards came swiftly, as the Cyborg found himself free to unleash playfullness and affection like never before. He would greet his Master from long absences with a flying hugtackle and endless squeezing...'torment' his shortstatured creator with relenetless tickles until the scientist had been panting and out of breath...carry an exhausted Neko and tuck him into bed after a long day of sciency work and experimentation. His bond with Zero had been greatly strengthened by the loosening of disciplined rigidity, and though he still called Zero his Master to this very day, they were nothing if not equal, friends and family for life.
With this thought in mind, a gentle smile took over Puffles' face and he nodded softly at Lyrial. His eyes too, became gentle and soft instead of regretful and shamed. He was still impressed with her prestigious occupation, but he would heed her request. He slowly rose to his feet again and resumed his full height. He lightly patted down and readjusted his robe before his tail curled about his midsection, becoming idle and affixed to him.
"A-and I'm Simi. Um...Welcome to the forest." spoke Simi with a smile.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Simi, and Puffles!"
Puffles nodded softly and leaned forward a little bit in a light bow, still holding his own smile.
"The pleasure is made most mutual, Miss Lyrial."
Puffles blinked a few times as after a glance at Simi, Lyrial's hair changed from it's prior black colour to a sky-blue, very similar to the Unicorn's own coat.
"Not only are your eyes capable of shifting pigment, but your hair as well...a fascinating gift to possess."
He looked towards Simi.
"A good choice of colouring, I must add. It holds a beauty of which Miss Simi has been naturally apt in displaying."
He smirked lightly, and kept his gaze hovering between the two, warm smile everpresent on his face.
"Puffles, you do not need to be so...formal...with me, informal is my thing. Its not like I'm a princess, I'm just a servent of the good gods and goddesses that protect the universe."

OOC: Sorry, I had started writing this last night but my curfew jumped on me.
BIC:
"Its a pleasure to meet you Simi, and Puffles!"
"The pleasure is made most mutual, Miss Lyrial," Puffles replied with warmth.
Simi brushed her tail once, glad to have made another friendship. "I am also glad to have met you, Lyrial."
And then Lyrial did yet another peculiar act. At first Simi had to blink a few times, initially not registering the change, but as quick as falling rain and silent as snow, the human's hair had changed to sky-blue, strands of afternoon, morning, and evening all flowing in harmony. And Simi didn't need more than a moment to realize where she had seen these colors.
Lyria, somehow, had changed her hair color to match Simi's.
"Not only are your eyes capable of shifting pigment, but your hair as well...a fascinating gift to possess." Puffles spoke as he looked towards Simi. "A good choice of colouring, I must add. It holds a beauty of which Miss Simi has been naturally apt in displaying." He then glanced at the both of them, smiling as he did so.
"Um, wow, I..." Simi started the sentence but wasn't sure what to say. Should she say thank you, or that she was flattered? "I'm glad you like it!" She finally concluded. And she really was flattered, too.

"Its a pleasure to meet you Simi, and Puffles!"
"The pleasure is made most mutual, Miss Lyrial," Puffles replied with warmth.
Simi brushed her tail once, glad to have made another friendship. "I am also glad to have met you, Lyrial."
And then Lyrial did yet another peculiar act. At first Simi had to blink a few times, initially not registering the change, but as quick as falling rain and silent as snow, the human's hair had changed to sky-blue, strands of afternoon, morning, and evening all flowing in harmony. And Simi didn't need more than a moment to realize where she had seen these colors.
Lyria, somehow, had changed her hair color to match Simi's.
"Not only are your eyes capable of shifting pigment, but your hair as well...a fascinating gift to possess." Puffles spoke as he looked towards Simi. "A good choice of colouring, I must add. It holds a beauty of which Miss Simi has been naturally apt in displaying." He then glanced at the both of them, smiling as he did so.
"Um, wow, I..." Simi started the sentence but wasn't sure what to say. Should she say thank you, or that she was flattered? "I'm glad you like it!" She finally concluded. And she really was flattered, too.

"The pleasure is made most mutual, Miss Lyrial." Lyrial couldn't help but nod in agreement at the statement.
"Not only are your eyes capable of shifting pigment, but your hair as well...a fascinating gift to possess." Lyrial almost laughed at that comment. Those two traits were rather the most simplest and most noticable of her, talents, unless she was combat, then things go boom.
"A good choice of colouring, I must add. It holds a beauty of which Miss Simi has been naturally apt in displaying." Lyrial once again nodded in agreement, she had chosen that color specifically because of the unicorns own coloring. Lyrial found it to be a wonderful color, and it looked good on the unicorn. Though Lyrail decided that she might have to change clothes latter on to match the new color.
"Um, wow, I..." Lyrial understood the unicorn's surprised reaction. It was rather a quick color change, sudden and with no warning. "I'm glad you like it!" Lyrial just had to smile bigger because of Simi, she had a wonderful color for her coat, and Lyrial loved it.
"I love your coloring Simi, its just wonderful! And Puffles, your bluse skin kinda complinents Simi's beauty. By the way, what are you planning on doing with THAT?" Lyrial said ending what she said by pointing at the wrecked vessel.

I apologize that it has taken me so long to reply. This past week or so has been very hectic, I've been dealing with a lot of sudden, troublesome events lately and I've been under a fair bit of stress. Things are calmer now. I'm getting a chance to rest from it all and will be much more active as a result.
===IC===
"Um, wow, I...", spoke Simi with a brief pause, as if she needed time to contemplate a suitable response, "I'm glad you like it!". Puffles grinned a bit and chuckled softly, covering his mouth with his hand in a mannerly way as he did so. Lyrial's smile seemed to broaden as she admired the Unicorn's lustrous coat.
"I love your coloring Simi, its just wonderful! And Puffles, your blue skin kinda compliments Simi's beauty." At this bit, Puffles lowered his head slightly and performed a gentle, quick bowing motion as a silent gesture of thanks. "By the way, what are you planning on doing with THAT?" Lyrial pointed in the direction of the wrecked craft which rested in the snow roughly a hundred feet away. Puffles nodded with recognition as he went on to speak of it.
"I had been thinking about that, Miss Lyrial. I thought perhaps to crush it and reduce it's volume by mental compression...but it would still remain a burdensome eyesore and would see little progression in actually ridding of it's presence. I thought also perhaps to drag it back to the laboratory, but I am not sure if my tail is capable of pulling such a weight, nor would such a trip on foot be accomplished in a feasible span of time."
He paused for a moment, sweeping his hand across as if he were throwing something at the vehicle.
"I had also thought to simply destroy it, but without the presence of my master I lack access to the methods that would enable me to do so. And then I thought to enlist the aid of my canine compatriots...but an object of that density would be very difficult to freeze or melt even with the capabilities they possess."
He sighed softly.
"I am at a loss for any further methods to ensure it's removal...perhaps you, Miss Lyrial, have a suggestion to contribute? Or you, Miss Simi?" As the Cyborg made his inquiry, he slowly lifted a hand and held it in the direction of the fallen vessel. Barely noticeable distortions in the air occured in the line of sight between Cyborg and craft, as well as around the craft itself. He was sizing the object up, seeing if there was anything about it he had missed that could lead to it's complete destruction.

"I love your coloring Simi, its just wonderful! And Puffles, your blue skin kinda compliments Simi's beauty." The unicorn's eyes shone, and she smiled again, turning her head to Puffles. Lyrial was right; their colors were very similar.
Lyrial then added, "By the way, what are you planning on doing with THAT?" She pointed at the mass of metallic rock not too far off. Taking another good look at it, Simi couldn't help but to slightly grimace, wondering what on earth Puffles was going to do with his... vessel. Would he repair it? Destroy it?
"I had been thinking about that, Miss Lyrial," the cyborg then answered the previous question. "I thought perhaps to crush it and reduce it's volume by mental compression...but it would still remain a burdensome eyesore and would see little progression in actually ridding of it's presence. I thought also perhaps to drag it back to the laboratory, but I am not sure if my tail is capable of pulling such a weight, nor would such a trip on foot be accomplished in a feasible span of time."
He then did a peculiar movement with his hand, gliding it as if he were throwing something at the mess of metal.
"I had also thought to simply destroy it, but without the presence of my master I lack access to the methods that would enable me to do so. And then I thought to enlist the aid of my canine compatriots...but an object of that density would be very difficult to freeze or melt even with the capabilities they possess."
He sighed, perhaps frustrated, and Simi blinked slowly with sympathy. How she'd hate to have such a mess.
"I am at a loss for any further methods to ensure it's removal...perhaps you, Miss Lyrial, have a suggestion to contribute? Or you, Miss Simi?"
At this Simi looked up at Puffles again, taking her eyes away from his broken ship. "I...... I don't really know." She laid her ears back and stared at the ground, pondering. Could she do something...
The unicorn blinked suddenly, and looked up as an idea came to her. It may not actually fix the mess, but....
"I um, I may not have the power to make things disappear, but I do have an ability that may at least do something." She turned once to Lyrial, and then to Puffles. "I can create a layer of ice over objects. It may not get rid of this, but it will help it to fit in with this area." She pricked one ear forward. "After all, this is a land of ice, snow, and rock."
Lyrial then added, "By the way, what are you planning on doing with THAT?" She pointed at the mass of metallic rock not too far off.

"Hm, crushing and carring it around would be...tiresome. Freezing it would be temporary, once spring comes around and all...Maybe, we should just stick in it a dimensional pocket of its own, thus getting rid of it, and at the same time, it would allow retrieval in the future? How does that sound?" Lyrial said, her eyes twinkling with a multitude of colorsas she thought it over. While opening a dimensional pocket wouldn't be that hard for her to do, it would be taxing on her. Maybe there was another way, one that would be less taxing? She mulled it over, but so far the pocket seamed to be a good idea, it preserved the ship, and at the same time, removed it from the vicinity.
She though about what was said. Melting, freezing, pulling, crushing, destroying...anything possible. But still it yielded a challenge. What would be the proper course of action? But, she had seen distortions in the air, barely noticable if one was accustomed to certain things, such as magic or psychic abilities. But if one never encountered such things before they would simply surmise that it was the wind they saw. but Lyrial with her experience with magic easy saw the difference and wondered what he did. Could he have been trying to use a simple method of telekinesis to move or destroy the ship? Could he have been trying to repair it? Could he have been merely mentally taking notes on the ship? Lyrial couldn't tell, it was obvious that what he did wasn't magic, but more along the lines of psychic powers, if it was magic, she would have noticed immediatly what he did. So she decided to not ask, if anything the answer would most likely reveal itself.

There are so very many dramatic ways that vast, incomprehensible galactic phenomena can kill you, that every single day that you go unmurdered by space is a miracle.

"I...... I don't really know.", spoke Simi as she stared at the ground and thought to herself. A moment later she perked her head back up, and Puffles thought perhaps she had an idea.
"I um, I may not have the power to make things disappear, but I do have an ability that may at least do something." She looked from Lyrial to Puffles before speaking again. "I can create a layer of ice over objects. It may not get rid of this, but it will help it to fit in with this area. After all, this is a land of ice, snow, and rock." To this, Puffles' eyebrows quirked a bit, and he tilted his head as he looked Simi over. He found the mention of her ability quite interesting. He wondered if it was not at all unusual for the various creatures who may have dwelled in this forest to each possess special abilities of their own...perhaps Deep Forest was specifically a haven for the gifted? Or maybe they just ended up here by happenstance...
Another thought came to mind, as he noted that Simi's mentioned power was very similar to Sygna's ability. He felt he'd have to introduce them sometime...he knew the son of flame would enjoy it - it was rare he got to meet new company by nature of his existence inside Puffles.
The cyborg refocused on the craft and it was then that by his mental probing, Puffles discovered the activation of a silent distress beacon on board the craft. Though this did little towards his mission of destroying the vessel, it's activation meant that if Zero carried a holopad with him, the nekojin would be alerted to the presence of the ship...and hopefully by extension, the presence of a certain Cyborg too. He dropped his hand and severed the mental link - he wouldn't find anything else helpful about the craft, that much he was sure.
"Hm, crushing and carrying it around would be...tiresome. Freezing it would be temporary, once spring comes around and all...Maybe, we should just stick in it a dimensional pocket of its own, thus getting rid of it, and at the same time, it would allow retrieval in the future? How does that sound?" Lyrial's voice chimed in, breaking Puffles from his thoguht and returning his attention to the matter at hand. He scratched his chin and stared up into the sky, pondering.
"In respect to freezing it, it would depend on the depth to which it could be frozen. Freezing it thoroughly enough could weaken it's structure and allow it to be shattered, though such would still require a hefty application of force. As for the dimensional pocket idea, I am not so sure. From my own experiences with my Master, he has been very wary of space and time experimentation due to the potentiality for cataclysmic result, not to mention the sheer unpredictability that comes when tampering with such poorly understood forces. Perhaps, though, you understand these forces better than he did, Miss Lyrial. In which case I would leave it up to your own judgment as to whether or not it would be a sound idea."
He paused for a moment, realizing he had not quite answered the question, or at least he thought not properly.
"If considering a perfect execution of the maneuver where the object would be stored in a pocket wherein it would cause no interferences and would not pose a danger or threat to any third parties or to the space / time continuum itself...I see no problem with it. Future retrieval exists as a bonus, and I am certain my Master would be very appreciative to see his work returned to him."

Simi blinked, a little confused. Dimensional Pocket...? Goodness, so much knowledge she lacked by simply having no human form! The idea didn't cause her resentment, though. Rather, she thought this funny.
Puffles then joined in with confusing vocabulary of his own. "In respect to freezing it, it would depend on the depth to which it could be frozen. Freezing it thoroughly enough could weaken it's structure and allow it to be shattered, though such would still require a hefty application of force."
Ok, that made some sense...

After a long, silent moment of blank staring, Simi finally nodded her head a couple of times, saying, "Um....... The pocket thing sounds ok!"

Lyrial wanted to laugh, sounds like someone had started tampering with forces that they hadn't fully understood yet. But as it was, Lyrial wasn't inexperienced with such forces. Indeed, with her magic skills, while putting the ship in its own pocket would be slightly draining, it was possible. The learning proccess that she went through for her magic studies took well over 10000 years. By then she fully understood the nature of magic and how to manipulate certain aspects of the universe so as to be able to bend it to ones will. As it was, she had already stored several objects in pockets of their own.
"If considering a perfect execution of the maneuver where the object would be stored in a pocket wherein it would cause no interferences and would not pose a danger or threat to any third parties or to the space / time continuum itself...I see no problem with it. Future retrieval exists as a bonus, and I am certain my Master would be very appreciative to see his work returned to him." It sounded like Puffles was giving the pocket idea second thoughts. Lyrial wasn't so sure, she would need to hear what Simi said on it. During the discussion of the dimensional pocket, Simi seamed confused. Must not have been around such talk before. Lyrial found herself fishing in the air with her hands, as if searching for something, as it was, it was the complicated hands gestures for a simple pokcet. For an object such as the Shuttle, the gestures would be even more complicated. "Um....... The pocket thing sounds ok!" Simi said after some time. Lyrial decided to give Simi a small example of what she meant with this magic.
And no sooner than did Simi finish her sentence than did a black ball that resembled a hole in space appear between Lyrial's hands, one hand underneath and one above, the ball itself was about 2 feet in width. Slowly the ball vanished, leaving behind, a large tome of sorts. The language on the cover and spine was in a very ancient language that neither Puffles or Simi would know. The only ones left besides the gods and worldeaters such as Lyrial that knew the language were a very secretive race that hid themselves beyond the edge of time and space and dimensions. While pulling the book out of its pocket was rather easy for Lyrial, it was both a way to show Puffles and Simi that she did indeed know what she was doing, plus the book contained the spell itself that would create the pocket big enough for the ship. For even as knowledgeable and powerful as she normaly was, her current state left her week in certain areas, and one of them was dimension and time disortion. Plus there was another spell in the book that would be helpful. The spell would set up a slow repair process on the ship that would slowly repair the ship, so that when they pulled it out from the pocket in a month or so, it would be fully repaired. But, Lyrial needed to find the spells first, first would be the repair spell. So she opened the book and started flipping through the pages at a great speed, leaving one to wonder if she was indeed reading what was on the pages or knew what page she was looking for.

"Um....... The pocket thing sounds ok!". Simi's words made Puffles smirk a bit...it was clear she was confused by the things both he and Lyrial had said, and he thought maybe to take her aside and explain some of the concepts to her later. However, he had no opportunity to speak anything of this sort, as Lyrial manifested what could only have been a tear in the dimensional wall, personified as a spatial black orb held in place between her hands. This was how Puffles interpreted it anyways. This further fascinated the Cyborg...he found it nothing short of awe inspiring that Lyrial could manipulate these forces by her own will, without the use of any devices. His Master needed enormous amounts of power and computational assistance (facilitated through gigantic plasma generators and high density computer processing clusters) to even begin any inkling of reality bending. Perhaps the Nekojin could learn a thing or two from Lyrial, if they ever happened to meet anyways.
The orb did not remain for very long and as it faded away a book dropped from where it had once been. Puffles leaned forward in an attempt to get a better look at the tome, but this did little to accustom him with what exactly it was.
He had certainly never seen a book quite like it before, in part because the Cyborg had generally kept himself to things like Harry Potter and the Animorphs when it came to literary pursuits, but also simply because the book was just plain unusual. He wondered for a moment if to ask about it, but Lyrial seemed to be skimming the pages in search of something in particular, and far be it from him to interrupt her concentration.
Far be it from him...but not far be it from them.
"I think we're getting close! The scanner says we're in the vicinity of the ship!"
For from the treeline of the forest burst forth a rather rambunctious and rowdy pair. Perhaps the one most difficult to see would be the Neko with the pure white furr, named Ze, for he would blend easily with the snow. But it was not as if he were easily concealed given the circumstances anyways, for perched atop his shoulders was a completely blackfurred doppleganger, named Ro, and he stuck out like a sore thumb against the white vistas. Had they had stood side to side, they would have looked remarkably similar (aside from coluring). Identical in height of four foot even each, they appeared to be humanoid cats - that is, those who walked and stood upright as humans did, but had many physical characteristics appropriate to felines. Whiskered cheeks, button noses, pawhands with claws, pawfeet, and each with his own long, lively cattail. They looked younger, physically, probably anywhere from 14 to 16 years of age. Both were wearing bluejeans, but no shirts nor shoes.
The blackfurred Neko's legs dangled over the shoulders of the white one. The whitefurred Neko continued to run - hover, actually, as he was floating a few inches off the ground - in the direction of where Lyrial, Simi, and Puffles were standing...continued to hover and apparently had no intention to stop, either, as his eyes were focused on a small silver device clutched in his paw rather than the path in front of him.
"Whoa, Ze! Hold up, hold up! I s---"
"Sssshhh! Dun distract meh! We're gettin reeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyy close!"
"But Ze! They're ri---"
"Ssshhh ssshhh sssshhh! You're mussin with mah concentration!"
With an exhasperated and slightly panicked look, Ro waved his paws frantically towards the Cyborg's group.
"Look out, look out! He's too stupid to stop, look ouuutttt!"
Puffles blinked and turned around, looking towards the approaching Nekojin...only to become wide eyed and dazzled by the mixture of excitement and dread he felt at their rapid approach.
"What!? I'm not stuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAHHHHH!"
It was with this sudden exclamation that Ze finally realized he was barreling towards the group and came to an abrupt stop. So abrupt in fact that it threw poor little Ro right off his shoulders and sent the blackfurred neko hurtling straight towards Simi at a high speed. If she didn't move or he wasn't diverted, he'd slam straight into the Unicorn.
"EEEEEYYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!"

If she didn't move or he wasn't diverted, he'd slam straight into the Unicorn.
"EEEEEYYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Lyrial then set her hands in a peculiar manner, and from the space between them appeared a gap in space, perfectly spherical, its whole existence separate from the very space that surrounded it.
Simi blinked in wonder, and she stepped closer, her violet eyes gazing at the empty sphere with awe. "That is a..... pocket?" She pronounced the word for herself for the first time, and it felt strange against her tongue, but sent excited chills down her spine.
The sphere didn't exist for long, however. As it slowly faded away, in its place appeared a book with unique markings on it that was like no other to Simi. She sniffed the air delicately, and realized that the book was very ancient, and held something powerful in it. Lyrial then opened the book, and began to skim through its pages with searching eyes.
"I think we're getting close! The scanner says we're in the vicinity of the ship!"
This sudden, uninvited noise jumped Simi out of her mane, and she snorted (quite an unflattering noise) as she spun around to face whatever had come out of nowhere. Could this have come from whatever strange space that Lyrial had opened?
And from the trees burst forth two catlike creatures, one riding on the other's shoulders. Their most noticeable traits was their fur colors, which differed dramatically. However, Simi found herself paying much more attention to the cat on top, whose fur was a rich jet black. His blue eyes slowly opened in alarm.
"Whoa, Ze! Hold up, hold up! I s---"
"Sssshhh! Dun distract meh! We're gettin reeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyy close!"
"But Ze! They're ri---"
"Ssshhh ssshhh sssshhh! You're mussin with mah concentration!"
Simi's mind was swimming with confusion. She didn't know Zero had a twin! However, she was sure that her friend had had some white markings.... why was he all of a sudden black all over? Had her mind just added little things of its own?
'Zero' sighed, and, with some panic in his eyes, he started to wave his arms frantically.
"Look out, look out! He's too stupid to stop, look ouuutttt!"
Beside her, Puffles turned around and blinked in alarm. Simi stiffened and laid back her ears, her excitement at seeing her friend again slowly fading away into panic.
"What!? I'm not stuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAHHHHH!"
The white furred cat looked up, finally understood the situation, and came to an abrupt stop. So abrupt, in fact, that the sudden force threw Zero off of his shoulders and flying straight in Simi's direction, screaming at the top of his lungs, "EEEEEYYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!"
The unicorn slid out of the way like a soft, sideways waterfall as Zero flew onward.
OOC: Lol, such a funny scene xDD

ooc: Sorry for the short post. Was turning into something to funny, and just couldn't resist.
IC:
Lyrial was to trapped with her searching to hear the incoming pair and the noise they were making. But, before they even gotten any closer she finally found the spell she was looking for. She had found the self-repair spell that would fix the ship in due time. And even better luck, the spell for the pocket she would be using to store the ship in the current time frame was on the page right next to it! She had hit the jackpot! She started jumping up and down, left and right. Obviously, even though she obviously had smarts, and power, she was still a child herself. "Lucky! Found them!" She yelled out loud as she jumped about, and landed right in the spot that Simi had just vacated. Just in time to get slammed into be Ro, and all because she wasn't aware of her surroundings.
The was a loud noise as cat and humanoid collided, a loud "OW!" followed by book flying up into the air. A bundle of many colors rolled many feet before coming to a stop. A look of dumbfundment and confusement on Lyrial's face as to what just happened. Unfortunately she had no time to react to the book. Which happened to land right on her face. Another "OW!" issued forth from Lyrial. She layed there, than again she happened to be on the bottom, or so as far as she could tell. And, she was also in a bit of pain. "What happened?" Sniffed Lyrial, trying her best not to cry. Though it wasn't working all that great. She removed the book to look at the speedingbulletcatthing that had ran into her. Her face had a nice book shaped red mark on it and it was obvious that she was about to cry, or already was but was holding it back.

There are so very many dramatic ways that vast, incomprehensible galactic phenomena can kill you, that every single day that you go unmurdered by space is a miracle.

As Ro was launched so unceremoniously from Ze's shoulders, Puffles stepped back and blinked again. His arms shot up straight out in front of him and he aimed his hands towards the hurtling Ro, eyebrows crunched amidst firm concentration. But he couldn't get a mental grasp on the little nekojin, there just wasn't enough time...he would have sighed in relief for Simi sidestepping and avoiding potential disaster, however it seemed disaster was simply the name of the game.
"Lucky! Found them!", cried Lyrial as she hopped around excitedly...and right into the very spot the Unicorn had vacated. Right into the line of fire.
"OH GAWD!" cried the fuzzy black projectile as he slammed right into Lyrial, to which she exclaimed "OW!", knocking her down and sending her book careening into the air. It was as if the feline and the femme were a tangled mess, as they rolled as on disheveled heap a few feet before they came to a halt, Ro flopped atop tje incapacitated Lyrial. Luck had mercy upon the nekojin but none upon the Worldeater, because Lyrial's reading material had made a deal with gravity and was back for vengeance - against her face. The tome smacked against the confused girl's mug on it's return trip and that ushered yet another "OW!". Clearly these were not exclamations of someone having a good day, and Puffles hung his head a bit as he watched and sighed.
"What happened?", asked Lyrial, amongst a series of sniffles. It was readily apparent she was on the verge of tears, and the sound of the distraught voice made Puffles blink, a concerned frown upon his face. Ro twitched - he was sprawled across Lyrial's body, and he seemed rather out of it. He appeared to have @_@ for eyes before the girl's voice pierced his dazzled brain and stirred him a bit. He merfed quietly, and nuzzled against Lyrial's chest softly. He nuzzled for a few moments more before he blinked a few times and realized what he was on top of, and what he was potentially nuzzling against.
"Huh....? Wha, oh, oh OH WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE!", cried the confused collection of black fuzz as he braced his arms against the ground to either side of Lyrial and pushed himself up. Perhaps with a little too much force, as he leapt to his feet only to stumble backwards a few paces away from Lyrial and fall backward head-over-heels with the force of his own momentum. He seemed to reverse-somersault, legs suspended as his head touched the ground, before he finally collapsed, stomach-ground facedown in the snow. He quivered and twitched as he let out a long, slow meow of confused frustration.
"Um...", spoke the voice of the white nekojin, Ze, who still stood at the very place he had stopped so abruptly. The little feline was well camoflauged but still distinguishable against the bright snow that surrounded him. His paws were folded together and tucked against his chest, his eyes brimmed with tears, and his chin quivered. He looked the striking image of an individual who had done something bad and was soon to be punished for it.
"I'm...I'm...I'm sorry...I diddun....I'm sorry...." ;____; Puffles shook his head softly and sighed. He felt the need to comfort the distraught little felinoid but kept his focus upon Lyrial and Ro, hoping that nobody had been terribly injured...from the looks of it, pride was probably the worst of the damage suffered.

"Lucky! Found them!" Lyrial began to hop around with celebration, unaware of her surroundings as she danced in excited bliss.
Simi stamped her hoof forward in desperation. "No! do-"
But already it was too late. Lyrial had leapt right into harm's way, and as a result...
"OH GAWD!"
Fur slammed against a dancing blurr, and human and cat tumbled down into the snow. Simi could hear a pained "OW!" in the chaos- a second one sounded when Lyrial's sacred book, which had flown into the air on the first impact, came gliding down with dangerous speed against the poor girl's face.
Simi could only stare blankly, her mouth gaping and her eyes wide with shock.
After some moments of stunned silence, Lyrial could only whimper through a few sniffles:
"What happened?"
"Huh....? Wha, oh, oh OH WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE!" Zero, who had been lying quite awkwardly on top of Lyrial, now pushed himself off of her only to stumble over himself, make a magnificent back-flip, and fall flat on his face like a leaf that had lost it's gentle gliding grace. He then gave a long, slow meow that sounded like a frustrated groan.
The unicorn blinked a couple more times before taking a few uncertain steps towards the two. The steps quickly became more steady and she rushed over to Lyrial, nuzzling the top of her head. "Lyrial? Are you alright?" She blinked once in the direction of Zero, hoping that he had fared better in the freak accident.
Another voice then made itself known.
"Um...", the other cat, snowy white, spoke meekly. He was still in the very spot where he had skidded to a halt, and his paws were folded against him, his eyes glistening with newly shed tears. His chin was quivering, and he was waiting expectantly, as if he knew punishment was inevitable. Overall, he looked like a sorry, scared kitten.
"I'm...I'm...I'm sorry..." he continued. "I diddun....I'm sorry...." Simi laid her ears back, and her heart went out toward the nekojin. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her mind didn't seem to have caught up right now.
Somewhere off to her side, Puffles gave a soft sigh.
