Pumpkin status: a-okay.

[Attached is a photo of her chasing her own vine.]

[Pumpkin is sitting in Minato's lap in this picture, happy as can be.]

7/25

[A photo of Pumpkin barking up bubbles and chasing them to pop them.]

7/26

Still doing fine here.

[A shot of Charlotte, Alucard's bat, flittering around Pumpkin, who is seemingly mid-bark.]

7/27

She misses you.

[A shot of Pumpkin staring out the Observation Deck's window, almost as if she's looking for Lapis.]

7/28

See you soon.

[A selfie with Minato and Pumpkin, which Pumpkin cradled under his arm. She looks about as pleased as a pumpkin could look.]

[reposing]

I need you to come to the clinic. I will try not to occupy too much of your time.

Bring Pumpkin, just to be sure.

[mirrortide]

Why?

[reposing]

There is a concern of contamination since we returned from the planet. This isn't often a concern for gems, I'm certain, but the humans are fragile.

[mirrortide]

Contamination? I'm not really sure how I could be contaminated.

[reposing]

I don't know that we necessarily are based on the tests Connor ran and that I've been studying. Regardless, you may not necessarily react to anything from the planet, but you could carry something on board that the humans would have negative reactions to.

[mirrortide]

You do know I'm made of solid light for the most part, right? Pretty sure I told you.

[reposing]

Please just humor me.

[mirrortide]

And if I don't feel like it?

[reposing]

Then I suppose I'll have the humans annoy you about it.

It's me, or a whole crew of irritating mortals complaining about contamination. I leave that up to you.

[mirrortide]

Most of them already annoy me, so it won't be that much different. Whatever though, I'll stop by.

[reposing]

Thank you. I'll attempt to make it as quick as possible.

[And when Lapis does show up, she does have Pumpkin with her. Who looks considerably more entertained than Lapis does. Pumpkin barks in excitement to see Alucard.

Lapis doesn't say a word, but she's giving him an absolutely withering look.]

[reposing]

[Though he's pleased to see Pumpkin, Alucard looks about just as exhausted as Lapis may feel right now because this entire thing does feel a little ridiculous to him -- but he does accept that he doesn't know enough about space travel that Miller may in fact have a point.]

Have you used the showers before in the station?

[mirrortide]

[The withering look continues, and Lapis doesn't even dignify that with a comment.

Of course she hasn't.]

[reposing]

Do I need to show you how.

[mirrortide]

No.

[But also she's, not going to use it.]

[reposing]

Then please use it. Afterward, we can tend to Pumpkin.

[mirrortide]

Pass.

[BARK BARK. Pumpkin would like to ROLL AROUND IN WHATEVER HES GOT, and eagerly jumps out of Lapis' arms to paw at Alucard's foot and whine appreciatively, tailvine wagging.]

[reposing]

If you were going to refuse, then why bother coming.

[He'll patpat Pumpkin, but he looks distinctly irritated with Lapis.]

Leave if you're going to waste my time.

[mirrortide]

[Pumpkin IMMEDIATELY lathers Alucard with love.

By way of pumpkin slobber. Ew?]

Mostly I just wanted to see what you'd tell me to do. [She shrugs.]

Seriously though. I'm a literal Lapis Lazuli. It's not like I can be contaminated or whatever.

[reposing]

[There are worse things than pumpkin slobber.]

We don't know enough about this galaxy to make that sort of promise. It was impossible for me to be sick until I arrived at this station.

So either you cooperate, or you leave.

[mirrortide]

You're fleshy, I'm not. Have fun. C'mon, Pumpkin.

[Pumpkin looks at Lapis, then back to Alucard, whines, and then goes back to Lapis.

BYE FELICIA.]
