[[Ladies and gentlemen of the Chalice...

There is a box.


What's special about this box? It's everywhere. The gym, the hangar, the mess hall, the hallways. Maybe you've only seen it once, maybe you've been seeing it ALL DAYUM DAY!? But it's there. Never moving, but, always moving.



How the hell does Hiiro tie into this? Find out!]]

Mira's noticed the box. Hell she's had to move around it twice to get tools of hers that seemed misplaced.

Though this time, she opted a different approach, since the person's obviously antisocial, she's going to make him or her social, since really it's not Quatre and this is her music room. So hmph, sorry box, you're sat on. When you decide to behave and stay put or whomever's in you decides enough's enough, then you can move.

Lord Isaac Sinclair is walking down the hallway, whistling a patriotic Britannian air, when he spies a box!

A box labeled–

A blood vessel twitches on his forehead.

"Orange..."

[armored_fruit]

Immediately, he draws the Sinclair Family Sword from his back and charges at the box, attempting to reenact Fruit Ninja...for real!

"ORANNNNNGGGGEEEEE!!!"

[disinheritedson]

[It was later in the day when Quatre stumbled upon the box. Literally. He was so distracted by his own thoughts-- largely revolving around making friends and pianoes-- that he didn't see it as he rounded the corner toward the mess hall.]

Oof--

[He caught himself with a single hand on top of it and frowned at it, as if confused.]

...Orange?

[bulletwithgundamwings]

Oh, look, here's Hiiro, passing Mira by.

However, he notices the box, and glares for a moment. "Are you the one moving the box around? Stop following me."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

And the box is hit! There's a bizarre beeping, and red eyes from within the darkness of the box.

However, there's a Hiiro nearby who saw the whole thing.

"If you're going to do that, stay out of everyone else's way."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

You haven't been following me with that, have you?

[[He asks you this with a completely straight face.]]

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Wha... no. I'm waiting for whomever's inside to get a cramp or something so I can tell them it's not nice to follow people. Though if you want to help, two of us here they won't escape."

And Mira's so going to feel foolish if there's nothing in the said box.

[armored_fruit]

This nobleman is too worked up to pay much attention to anything else!

"Vanish, you stain upon the Honor of Sir Gottwald!" Isaac snarls. "Is this part of your foul plan, Zero? To mock the honor of Britannia! Never will it succeed!"

Stab-stab-stab-stab-the-box!

[hashtag_winner]

With...the box?

[Sorry. He doesn't understand.]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

Something is in the box, but, clearly it's not Hiiro.

"I'll pass. I have more productive things to do than sit on an empty box."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

Finally, there's a tick, and something in the box starts scurrying about trying to escape. The box itself is not at fault!

Jerk! Jerk!


Hiiro looks surprised. "Something is in the box. Drop the sword."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

I've seen the box everywhere I've been going today. Someone is doing a poor job of following me...

[saikyocivrobo]

[The box has its own stalker. A pair of glowing green eyes is watching it from the shadows.]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[Hiiro walks right past Prometheus without flinching. He notices though, that it's watching something, and around a corner in the halls, he notices that damned box again.

He takes a moment to look at the tiny robot, and the box.]]

This can't be normal...

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus beckons to him, urging him to hide. He's waiting for the box to move again!]

[hashtag_winner]

[He looked back at the box once more and pushed at the top lightly, as if to test...something. He was curious about the reaction.]

It sure is a strange way to follow someone around. On a ship like this, you'd think that people would plan this better.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Fine." She shook her head a moment staying seated on the box.

"You're one of the new kids on the ship aren't you? One of the pilots of those three new gundams?"

[bulletwithgundamwings]

You're not a toy?

[[You're moving on your own. This just made it stranger, but, like HELL he's going to comply with you.]]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[The box remains still. You didn't move it enough to startle the thing inside.]]

Some child is playing around with the wrong people...

[saikyocivrobo]

[More beckoning towards the shadows, more desperately. Prometheus points at the box and puts a finger to his lips, or where he would have them if he had a mouth at least.]

[hashtag_winner]

[He chuckled.]

Well then, don't you think it'd be easier to let them be open about it.

[Quatre knelt down to lift the box...]

Hey in there. None of us going to be mad or anything if you want to play.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

"I am." he says simply.

"So don't touch it. I don't need anyone working on it but myself."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[Crazy ass toy.


Hiiro does not fear boxes, so he goes over and lifts it up, easily.


There's a green Haro in there!?]]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[Under the box... is a green ball.

Quatre, do you know what a Haro is?]]

What is it? [[Cuz Hiiro actually doesn't.]]

[hashtag_winner]

I don't know...but it's kind of cute!

[He peered inside at the little green ball and offered a hand.]

Do you want to come out? It's okay.

[saikyocivrobo]

[There goes the sneaking part... Prometheus leaps in, trying to catch the Haro!]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[Hiiro doesn't even move. He watches, but, not in amusement.]] I doubt it's dangerous.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[The green ball rolls over to Quatre and Hiiro... even if Hiiro doesn't express any interest.]]

You're regarding it like an animal?

[saikyocivrobo]

[It's not about danger, obviously! Prometheus grabs the Haro and lifts it above his head, in an Item Get pose.]

[hashtag_winner]

[Beaming, Quatre picks it up and holds it in his arms.]

Why not? It's been following you, so it probably wants company if it does have some kind of AI.

Besides. It hasn't done anything wrong yet.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

I'm not here to play.

[[He's not mad at the ball but, he has no business with it. This is Hiiro, and that's a Haro, not a puppy.]]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[Hiiro just stares.]] Congratulations, you caught it.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Fine I get it. Sheesh, you don't trust people do ya?"

[saikyocivrobo]

[Nod. Mystery solved! Prometheus turns the Haro around and stares at its face, as if demanding an answer of some kind.]

[hashtag_winner]

I don't know. It was following you for a reason.

[It may as well be a puppy in Quatre's mind. At least, until he was given reason to think otherwise.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

"I don't have a reason to. I can handle things on my own."

[bulletwithgundamwings]

And it doesn't seem able to tell either of us why. Someone needs to keep their toys in their room.


Quatre, if you're so interested in it, perhaps it's better you play with it. You're far more sociable.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

[[You have fun with that Prometheus. This scene has gotten so ridiculous that Hiiro is now looking down the halls for anyone that might be remotely controlling one or the other.]]

You can stop hiding now.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus looks at him like at a madman.]

[bulletwithgundamwings]

It's obvious there's a bunch of children and their toys here.


I'm not here to play games.

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Yeah well on this rig, better learn." She glances at the box again and huffs. "I see you again I'm throwing you into the trash compactor got it?"
