"Does the planetoid have a name?" Kyeo wonders, stepping out.

"I think not unless you give it one, but I wouldn't necessarily know if somebody already had."

"I suppose I'll ask whoever I'm sharing it with, then."

"Mmhm!"

Journey leads him outside to a shuttle with the approximate vibe of a limousine.

Kyeo has been in approximate limousines before.

There's no spot for a driver.  It takes off straight up and quietly, and zooms with gentle acceleration away from this pair of planetoids.

The sky stays pretty much the same color throughout, and for a while there's nothing else to see in the sky.  There aren't clouds blocking where they came from, but as if the atmosphere here were very thick, it fades out and disappears anyway.

After ten or so minutes, another planetoid starts to become visible before them.  It's several times larger than the previous, but still far too small to hold an atmosphere on its own.

Kyeo takes quiet mental notes on the futuristic technology this implies but doesn't have the background to understand answers to questions about it even if they weren't going to be "magic".

Kyeo can see a town on the way down, but they land in a cluster of cottages a ways outside it.  The decoration is as luxurious as it's been everywhere else, though it's aiming for something closer to 'quaint' than 'understated opulence' here.

"That one's yours," he points to the navy blue one and not the seafoam green one with white trim or the brick one.  "I'll let your future co-stars give you the full tour; what do you feel like you need to know before then?"

"You were going for... variety? So I do not know what kind of etiquette they're accustomed to."

"Zane I expect you'll find very casual.  The other one - hm.  So, the thing is that they didn't have a language at all until we gave them one, and had only interacted with humans the amount that implies.  Which is to say, you might offend them, but it's not really something worth going out of your way to avoid.  They've got to get through socialization somehow."

"What... caused that?"

"Their Earth was colonized by aliens who didn't realize humans were sapient and kept some of them as pets until they abruptly stopped doing that.  ...Well, this one actually lived on the local moon, but you get the picture."

"I have seen pictures of Earth's moon. It... seems like it ought to be hard to miss that humans are sapient."

"You'd expect so, wouldn't you?  I think they had some sort of psychic thing going on."

"I see."

"Anyway, there's at least one person here who's clearly going to be much stranger than you in any interaction you have.  Need anything else?"

"Assuming the - tour - will include things like where I'm meant to sleep, no."

"It should be obvious within your cottage.  Have fun!"  He gestures to the shuttle and it takes off, still very quietly although with kind of a warbly sound from the outside.  And when Kyeo turns back to look at Journey, he's gone.

Disconcerting.

He goes into the cottage.

There's a breakfast nook and some cupboards (one of which is refrigerated) stocked with snacks and staples, a home theater with an absurdly large TV, a bathroom with a tub/shower and a lot of kinds of washing products (hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, full-body moisturizer, toothpaste), and, upstairs, an attic bedroom.

Seems straightforward enough. He is not hungry or tired or dirty right now though. ...is this party outfit going to have to be laundered with personal care products, or is there detergent?

There are neither detergent nor other clothes-washing objects in evidence.

There's a knock at the door.

Kyeo will of course answer the door.

A person with too-big eyes and a board slung under one arm is on the other side.  "Hello!  I'm Zane, nice to meet you."
