TO HAVE AND TO HOLD [modplot]

[letsgolegion]

Who| Anyone who wants in
What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

2B sort of stares at her for a moment before saying, "I don't know what a sunburn is." What she knew of humanity had been limited to what recorded data remained, or findings that 9S and the Pods would've shared with her.

[justice_from_above]

Fareeha frowns slightly, a little cofused, but then people here came from all walks of life, ad she did look a little pale; maybe the sun wasn't as much of an issue on her planet?

"If you stay out in the sun without protection, it can damage the skin. Most times it's just a few days of irritation."

[grumpylady]

2B was hearing the words clearly, but she was still having difficulty comprehending what she'd just been told. It sounded like a far greater concern than this one was letting on.

"I wasn't aware that humans could be so fragile." To the point where exposure to the sun could harm them like that.

[justice_from_above]

Silence settles on the conversation for a moment while Fareeha lets those words sink in.

"Oh, you're ... not human? I'm sorry, I hadn't realized." It made sense now that she'd have no idea what Fareeha was talking about."Yes, we can be pretty susceptible to climate extremes, for one."

[grumpylady]

"Apologies aren't really needed. I was simply making an observation." Humans were truly flawed creatures if they were as sensitive to temperatures as she was learning.

"My name is 2B."

[justice_from_above]

"Fareeha Amari." She holds out her hand in greeting. "May I ask, who are you here with?"

Because this isn't exactly a place you'd come alone.

[grumpylady]

"I'm here with Miku and Tadashi." She grabbed Fareeha's hand, shaking it.

"What about you?"

[justice_from_above]

Wow, that's quite a grip.

"Jamison Fawkes. We've been doing alright so far. What's it like with two partners?"

[grumpylady]

It comes when you're made out of parts and circuitry instead of flesh and bones.

"No issues on my end." She answers rather plainly.

[justice_from_above]

"I'm glad to hear it. I don't mean to jinx anything but it feels so far like this is going to be a fairly straightforward mission."

[grumpylady]

"For now." 2B responded. "The mission always has time to change. Which is why I'm looking to stay sharp."

[justice_from_above]

"It's a good habit." Fareeha nods in agreement. "I admit, maintaining my routine has been a welcome distraction from the relative inactivity so far."

[grumpylady]

"Your routine. And what exactly is in that routine." Call it curiosity, or just call it a way to keep making use of her time.
