    Clony were not curious, back in the BadLands. Back in the BadLands, if someone ventured off alone, one could never return. It just didn't happen. If you went in a group, then maybe, then maybe you'd come back with your wings still attached to your body.

    But as far as Colotik could tell, so far, the things that caused all the death and despair back where it lived, were not here. There was no whirring machines, no buzzsaws, no pricklies, no Guardians, and no lasers to be worried about. Curiosity had arisen.

    People lived in these things for longer than a night. That was astonishing. It had never lived in a place where someone could sleep in the same place more than twice. That brought up curiosity. What did people do with places they could sleep in permanently? It was curious, oh so curious.

    Colotik didn't exactly know where it had wound up, but it was being very quiet, and very sneaky. Perhaps, perhaps it could find something very secretive, something that would reveal the secret behind why the people that lived here could live in one place for so long. Quietly clicking as it's lifted off, to go through one of the windows of the many buildings that were about. What could go wrong? It wasn't like it was breaking anything; that talent it seemed to have lost when it gained this 'bat' body. What was so wrong about being curious, of sneaking into other people's homes? It didn't even know what a home was. It found the most least red thing possible, and gave it a shove. There were sometimes things that were not meant to be touched, and sadly, Colotik didn't have the common knowledge to know better.


    //sneaking into people's houses; clony edition. also breaking things possibly; clony edition

    HARD TO BE SOFT

    TOUGH TO BE TENDER

    There was the sloshing of water as a sleek and soaked Yuri shifted in the bathtub on the second story of his home in Colour Town. He reached for some of his fancy shampoos. The shampoos smelled like sweet peas and cherries but they were unappetizing scents compared to his real flowers. The fur was plastered to him and he looked smaller than usual without his fluffy locks. The commander hummed to himself and he didn’t notice the curious Colony sneaking, accidentally, into his bathroom. He didn’t notice until he heard the furry bat creature knock over a green plant that was kept in a vase within the bathroom.


    Yuri’s mouth opened in a gape and the vase and plant fell into the floor. Sure, he never wore clothes (he was a cat!) but that didn’t mean he was not going to make a big deal about this bathtime intruder. ”Gah! Who are- Col-Colotik?” It took a moment for the strange creature’s name to come back to him, especially in this moment of surprise. ”I am taking a bath!” Yuri shouted as if the foreign creature would understand that. Why Yuri had the window open while he was taking a bath? Well, who didn’t like fresh air and a bubble bath at the same time? He was on the second story; he didn’t expect someone to fly in the window.


    //I just went with it. I assume when Colo shoved something not red that it could be anything? Also I just made the place Colo invaded Yuri’s home. Let me know if I misinterpreted anything so I can change it! :B

    Also other people can hear Yuri’s scream and jump in~

    ++ what’d you mean? your muse is good ^^

    Colotik's ears twitched at the noise, it merely watching the vase shatter. It took the bat like creature a couple seconds to recognize it had just broken something, another ear twitch following that realization. The dark creature looked up at the speech, white eyes narrowing. What even was the other doing. Why was someone willingly in water? It always sucked to dry off after it got wet; the dark creature would always have to lay out in the sun for hours to get all the water out of it's fluff. Absolutely annoying.

    "Beeeeeth." It echoed. A slow head tilt followed. Alright, alright, it was more of this language being utterly stupid. A bath, what did bath sound like? It figured it would have been in more trouble due to breaking the vase, but it was apparently intruding on this 'bath' that was more of a problem. "Eeee don't know what beeeth is..." It's wings slowly flapped as it fluttered over to where it had knocked the vase over.

    Back where it had come from, breaking things was normal. If it just fluttered by something, it would spontaneously break. That was fine, that it wasn't happening here. It had had a few close scrapes by things nearly crushing it to nothingness or being sawed in half. This was probably the first thing that it had actually broken since it had come to this odd, strange land.It's white eyes stared for a few seconds, tail lashing behind itself. Perhaps this, this was what a bath was. Knocking over vase with plants in them while someone was in a contained portion of water.

    Colotik gave itself a small shake, a click following the motion. Thinking just made it's head hurt, it liked to just go with things. So it waggled a wing, gesturing at the broken plant. "Pleeeent is break." Colotik then commented, picking up a portion of the broken vase and then throwing such off towards a nearby wall.. A bit of a sudden movement, but it felt like such was needed.


    //it could be anything, yes. I haven't been around long enough to know if there were some places colotik shouldn't have gone with so i left it open to interpretation, so this is fine

    and i mean my muse is bad because school slowly drains the thoughts from my head to where I can't think of cheeky ways to write as usual oop

    Yuri watched as confusion and determination passed over the bat creature’s face as Colotik tried to decipher what a ‘bath’ was. The priss was over his dramatic shock that someone had walked in – or flew in- on him while he was taking a bath. Yuri came to accept that Colo wasn’t going to leave even though he had already screamed, “I am taking a bath!”. Usually that would make someone run off but since Colotik didn’t appear to know what a bath was, it didn’t know that it was custom to leave people alone while they took them.


    The question that the creature asked was preposterous. It didn’t know what a bath was? Yuri could faint. That probably meant Colotik had not once taken a bath in its life. How gross! His irritated and overwhelmed eyes flicked from the ebony flying beastie to the mound of dirt, vase pieces, and torn leaves. He put a paw onto his wet face when Colotik spoke next. "Pleeeent is break."


    ”Yesss, the plant is break… You are ruining my afternoon..,” His poor plant. His nice peaceful bath. He peeked at Colotik from behind his paw. ”You don’t know what a bath is?? It is when you get clean, with water and soap. Okay? And people like privacy when bathing.” There, there was another subtle hint that Colo would probably not understand.


    //so sorry for lateness! But I had to reply. I like this thread lol
