Command Center <Hunter HQ>

Michael Eildath is sitting by himself in the command center, picking slowly at a black guitar while trying to folllow the instructions from a 'learn to play' program he got.

Kyo-Ohki crawls out from the air vent and stops as soon as she overhears the strumming. She tilts her head to the side and hops over towards the human Hunter to watch. Hmph! He's trying to make music he's going about the wrong way...or at least the lil cabbit thinks so. So, the lil cabbit beings mewing to show how the human *should* make music. "Me-ow...mewmewmewmew meeeeoooow..."

Michael Eildath blinks, looking up. "Oh, hiya, Kyo-Ohki. Out on your own again?"

Kyo-Ohki pauses in mid-mew and peers up at the human in curiosity. In response to hops up into his chair and bats the guitar with a paw lightly. "Yipyip!"

Michael Eildath smirks. "I dunno. You don't look like the rock star type to me, Kyo... then again, neither do I."

Kyo-Ohki looks up innocently once more and then begins to inspect the instrument...even going as far as to gently pull at the strings...which make somewhat of an interesting tone. "Mew...?" She then stops to glance about before patting the strings again. "Mewmewyip..." she muses as she hears the tones. She then begins sing-songing again...as if chooseing to like her voice better.

Michael Eildath hehs. "Maybe will make a recording star out of you yet..." Mike chuckles, and tries to pick out notes along with Kyo's singing.

Kyo-Ohki moves to stand up on her hind legs and continues to sing. She pauses tho...sensing Michael trying to mimic her tones...and then begins to slow abit within her notes. Maybe...she'lll teach him yet. o/~ "Mewmewmew mouwph..." o/~

Michael Eildath hehs, nodding appreciatively, and starts picking out notes in time with the singing, if you can call it that. Mike's slow now, but he's a pretty quick learner.

Kyo-Ohki beams happily, very proud of herself...as well as the human. After sing-songing she lowers herself again and settles within the chair to take a breath to watch. As a few moments pass she picks up again, slowly, as a teacher would a new student. Hey...this is fun!

Michael Eildath is playing with Kyo, smiling all the while... as one can expect, it sounds... a little odd.

The gravlift doors gently whoosh open, allowing Twila to enter the center. She pauses as she spots Mike with Kyo...and crosses her arms over her chest to listen for a few moments before sounding a greeting. A smile of her own touches her lips before she asks, "Already started on your training, I see..." she jokes.

Michael Eildath looks up, blushing despite himself and smiling. "Oh... hey, Twila. Yeah, I've begun training, I suppose... didn't expect to have so unique a teacher, though."

Kyo-Ohki pauses to wave a paw towards her owner and brushes her head against Mike's hip in a show of affection. "Mewmew yip!" she informs Twila before looking back towards Michael. "Meowph?" She then falls back against the back of the seat, breaking out into little tiny giggles before righting herself again and patting the guitar. "Mew mooow yip!"

Twila smirks in response before entering further in and leaning against one of the terminals in amusement. "Don't let me stop you. I think Kyo's trying to say you catch on really well..."

Michael Eildath rolls his eyes. "I can see the headlines now... first musician to be taught by a cabbit." He smiles. "Not that it isn't helping, Kyo."

Kyo-Ohki teeheeheehees in answer, continuing to beam. She then chides her owner with, "Mewmew yip meowph meow!" semi-scoldingly, as if she should have let her train as well. She then gazes back towards Mike and baps one of his hands with which he holds the instrument. Hey, you're not done yet! She then starts sing-songing her mewing again....

Twila muffles a giggle, can't help but finding this funny as well as cute. "She have you under the four-year plan?"

Michael Eildath erps, and starts playing along to Kyo's singing, occasionally trying to shift through the one or two chords he thinks he knows to be more accurate. Looking up. "I don't know, Twila, but I have a feeling I'll be the talk of mech-animal back alleys everywhere soon..."

Twila Peterson covers her mouth with her hand. "Oh, my. Hope not. Even as far as Kyo goes in the base I'm not aware of her going outdoors all that much...at least since she encountered Snake Man near the base that once time. Poor thing was almost eaten..." she states with a shudder.

Michael Eildath blinks. "Really? Well, that reason number sixty or so on the list of reasons to beat Snake Man with a stick."

Kyo-Ohki suddenly stops and makes a sudden face as if picking up on what's being discussed...and makes a sudden hiss. Actually, she can understand sometimes what's being said...she just doesn't always show it. "Me-oew...pa-tooie!"

"It was back in December...with the preparations for the attack on Skull Castle. Snakes was keeping an eye on the labs around that time I think. Rick found Kyo by the outside door looking a mess..." Twila explains, well remembering how Rick had later awoken her to hand her back the frightened cabbit. "Since then...Kyo hasn't been outside to my knowledge without someone with her.

Michael Eildath nods, taking the momentary lull in the music to flex his fingers. "I can imagine that something like that would... not predispose someone to going outside." He sighs. "My own encounter with that walking excuse for a beating haven't exactly predisposed me towards taking his side."

Kyo-Ohki mews sadly and brushes herself against the human seated beside her. She's not aware Snkae Man was the reason for some if Mike's past troubles of course...but she does recall he's had his share of rough times too. She only hopes *he* wasn't recently almost eaten.

"Would suppose not. When...I was on that island, believe it or not, he was one of the Masters who was supposed to 'fall to my whim'. He even almost offered me a mouse as a snack..." Twila recalls.

Michael Eildath shudders. "That's... that's... ugh... sick."

Twila Peterson nods in agreement. "No kidding. Between Wily *kissing* me earlier, then being told of the wedding, being offered to pet Treble, and then offered a mouse...it's a wonder I was able to keep my lunch down as I was..." She shakes her head and sighs. Any one of those would be enough to cause anyone to be ill. "Buuuuuut...anyway..."

Michael Eildath shudders. "I would passed out... or gone on a psycho rampage, but that's just me." He shrugs. "But anyway..."

Twila Peterson falls of into thought for a few moments before slightly changing the subject. Besides, Wily kissing Michael is waaaaaay to disturbing for her tastes...yuck! "At any rate...I should let you go on with your music lesson. Your teacher is getting fidgety."

Michael Eildath nods. "Yeah, I suppose so." He looks down at Kyo. "What's next, maestro?"
