♕ 01 • Arrival
♕ I. Action [The Bay]
[Lotor emerges from the pod in confusion, accompanied by a sleepy (and slightly grumpy) cat, who is curled around his neck. Lotor is also sleepy (and possibly also grumpy). He's on guard, too. He's never had the experience of not knowing where he is before. It looks like he's on a planet. Where is the fleet? Has he been abducted? Wary, he draws his blade, in case there are enemies nearby. At least he's still armed.
Once he has his bearings and is relatively sure that there are no enemies here ready to attack, Lotor reads the pamphlet. He listens very closely to the welcoming speech given by the hologram. The warning about tampering with the hologram is very clear. Well—Lotor doesn't intend to tamper. He just wants to learn a little more about the device and how the hologram is generated, which is why he leans in close and runs his claws across the surface of the stand.]
Hm, I wonder what the energy source is.
♕ II. Action [Genessia City; Library]
[There's a child in the library who has surrounded himself with a massive array of books. They are stacked on either side of him, as well as in front of him, and his attention shifts from book to book quickly. He leafs through one quickly before abandoning it in favor of the next.
His cat, Kova, is still with him, lounging and dosing on the table Lotor has commandeered. Is this child taking up residence? Are cats even allowed in the library? Regardless of how well he's following the library's rules, it's definite that no one is allowed to eat the books, which is what Kova starts doing when he rises, stretches, and starts to nibble on the corner of a page.
Lotor idly waves the cat away.]
Kova, no—I know they're primitive, but they're information retrieval devices.
♕ III. Network: Text
[Having the ability to make a general public transmission of his own, with no oversight? It's new for Lotor, and it's exhilarating to be free from authority, so he wastes little time in making use of the network. Really, what is it if not another source of information?]
I want to know about the others who were brought here. Tell me, what is your name, rank, and planet of origin?
[Those are decent, basic questions to start with.]
♕ IV. Action [Nova City]
[Wandering and exploring his new surroundings has taken up a lot of Lotor's time. He now finds himself in Nova City. Nova City feels a little more like home, if it still isn't quite like living on board a giant warship. Walking past the shops and other businesses, Lotor peers curiously into the windows. Kova, even more tired now, is lying on Lotor's shoulders, asleep. It occurs to Lotor that he should find somewhere to stay soon—for Kova's sake, at least. He needs to take proper care of his animal.
In front of a café, Lotor stops short and stares through the window. Inside, people are seated at tables, eating. The food here is so strange, but he's suddenly so hungry. He remembers the red bills that he found when he woke up. He should be able to use them to buy things. But he needs to determine if this alien food is edible. As if sensing his thoughts, Kova opens his eyes and mews wearily. He's probably hungry, too. Lotor straightens, determined. He's the one in charge here, so he's going to handle this situation.]
Don't worry. I'll find us something we can eat.

no subject
[Lotor doesn't acknowledge that sarcasm and replies matter-of-factly. Still, he's not letting his cat eat the pages, at least! Kova still seems a little interested in swatting at one, but Lotor blocks his paw playfully.]
I've heard about books, but I've never seen any before. The ancient Galra used to use them a long, long time ago.
no subject
[Baldur was used to books really, he doesn't really care much for digital.]
no subject
No, I like these old-fashioned books.
[He leafs through one of them, feeling the pages between his fingers. They're not as efficient, but there's something about them... They're different, and they're from the past.]
Ours must have been destroyed, a long time ago.
[If there aren't any ancient books left at home, something must have happened to them.]
But I do want to go to all the cities. Does Nova City have a library, too?
no subject
Honestly, doubt it. I just know this one is the more well-known one, so if there is it wouldn't be as big.
no subject
[Temporarily distracted from the books he's been looking through, Lotor gazes up at the stranger curiously.]
What is your name, species and rank?
[He wants information, so he might as well ask directly.]
no subject
Baldur, Demon and I guess rank I would say Prince. The 13th in fact, but being the 13th child in my world doesn't mean I am the 13th in line or something.
no subject
[He's researched all the species they've come across, at least, those that were in databases he could access. He's heard someone else mention the term "Demon". They weren't helpful about explaining it, but he assumes it's a species, like Galra. He nods, because being a prince is something he can understand.]
I'm a prince of the Galra empire. I'm the emperor's only child.
no subject
But I guess since I don't know what a Galra is you might not know what a demon is either am I correct?
[He felt like taking a stab because he could never be sure.]
no subject
[At least, that's the party line, which Lotor believes in. So there's not technically supposed to be a need for an heir, though Lotor does also believe that eventually, as the prince he'll take a role in the government. But it depends on what Father wants.]
I've never heard of Demons before I came here, and I have access to all the archives in the fleet.
[Well, except the ones Father has sealed, but that's beside the point.]
no subject
[A thing in which it believed of their own King, except he does step down after there is one heir remaining.]
Guess they just do not exist where you are from then. But here they seem to, so odds are you'll find more, I suppose. But not sure if it will be the type of demons I am aware of.
