[the ship soon made its warp speed n jump, almost arriving to their destination]
Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron in T-minus 20 mins
Wander: (nod) (turns to the hat) Got anything I need to keep undercover, Hatty? Just in case they've heard about me?
Hat: [produced a sort of vial containing bluish liquid n the label read "Oral Dye"]
Wander: (inspects it) I have to drink this, or...?
Hat: [gave a sideways flop, as if smirking n telling him to drink]
Wander: Hmm... (drinks it down, grimicing at the sour aftertaste)
[it took a while, bt soon Wander's fur slowly changed frm his usual bright orange to blue with hints of white in btwn, mostly on his bk, n his eye colour changed to a bright silver]
Wander: (looks in reflection) Wow...that's interesting.
Hat: [had a proud grin]
Wander: :) This'll do nicely.
Computer: Approaching destination in T-minus 5 mins
Wander: (nod)
[the planet was soon within sights n the ship made its way to the landing]
Wander: (takes a good look at it)
[the planet definitely looked tropical, like a cross between Miami, Hawaii n Rio]
Wander: :) Nice.
Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron. Brace urself for landing
Wander: (stays in his chair)
[the ship soon landed slowly onto the planet docks]
Wander: (picks up the hat) You want to join me, or would you feel safer staying behind?
Hat: [plopped itself onto his head]
Wander: (giggle) Take care, Computer. (exits the ship)
Computer: Stay safe, Master Wander. I will keep u updated if anything happens in the ship
Wander: (like) (looks around at the numerous sights)
[it was a pretty nice tropical paradise, with loads of ppl n tourists alike enjoying the sun, the beach n the atmosphere]
Wander: :) (walked along to see if he could enjoy himself for a while)
Hat: [took in the sight, bobbing left n right as if admiring the view]
Wander: :) Like the sight too, Hatty?
Hat: [bobbing as if nodding]
Wander: ^^ (walks past numerous mini shops with owners selling various merch to passersby)
Owner1: Chilled pine-grapes! Chilled pine-grapes! Only 3 space credits each!
Owner2: Poncho? Anyone wanna buy a poncho? Finest silk from the planet of the 3rd galaxy!
Owner3: Shell ornaments! Shell ornaments! Get ur shell ornaments for ur loved ones!
Wander: (kept on walking, thinking to himself but also glancing around)
Owner3: Sir? Sir? U look like u need to get something for ur sweetheart! Can I interest u in our shell ornaments??
Wander: (looks back, pointing at himself) ?
Owner3: Yes, sir! U look like u got a special someone! Wanna get something for ur darling?
Wander: (thinks; well, in case Hater is upset...) (walks forward) What you got?
Owner3: I've got necklaces, vases, frames, anything tht can be made out of shells, u got it. Take ur pick ;)
Wander: (took a look) ...You have anything with a touch of green?
Owner3: I sure do! Here [digs out frm their basket to reveal a conch tht shimmered in sea-foam green n blue] How's this? It works pretty well as both a decor n an actual instrument [demo it by blowing at the conch, making a hollow trombone sound] N if u hold it near ur ear, u will hear the sea [held it against Wander's ear]
Wander: (listens closely)
[a hollow sound was heard, like the waves tht crash thru the beach at midnight]
Wander:... :) That sounds amazing.
Owner3: So whaddaya say, sir? Hv we got a deal?
Wander: (thinks about it, then digs into his hat pulling out how much he needed for the conch) ;) A deal.
Owner3: [received the amount n nodded, packaged the conch for him] Pleasure doing business with u, sir
Wander: (nod) (heads off)
[seeing Wander buy the stuff, the other vendors started hollering n offering their stuff to Wander, their voices overlapping]
Wander: (starts feeling uneasy and runs to get out of there)
[luckily they didn't pursue him any further]
Wander: (had gotten out of there) (whew) Geez.
Hat: [bobbing a bit as if laughing at him]
Wander: >_> Oh shut up. (kept walking on)
[the sky gradually grew dark, n the nomad was soon walking along the sandy beach watching the setting sun]
Wander: (watching the sun go down) Hmm... Mama loved sunsets... :(
Hat: [swayed a bit in agreement]
Wander: (sits down to continue watching the sunset)
Hat: [bobbed gently as if asking him "You OK?"]
Wander: I just miss her, that's all...
Hat: [bobbed again like a sympathetic "I knw..."]
Wander: (sighs, lying back to close his eyes for a moment)
Hat: [flopped off his head to lie next to him]
Wander: (hummed softly)
[the sound of the waves n the chirps of birds up in the skies, as well as the soft wind blowing had a soft relaxing melody to it]
Wander: Hmm... (smiles softly to the sounds)
Hat: [has limped as if fallen asleep to the soothing sounds]
Wander: (hummed softly to himself some more)
