[ The crew jumpsuit they gave him is tight with bright purple stripes running the length of it, when he's used to baggy plain grey. Wearing it he feels more like a podracer superstar than a former Imperial cargo pilot, which in turn makes him both slightly more confident and slightly more nervous, his body language all crossed legs and fidgeting. His dark eyes dart, nervous. ]

Listen. Listen. Hello, yes, listen, I need help.

[ He sounds a little urgent about it, voice dropped low. ]

Um, I've followed the instructions, and turned up to work, and I want to work, I do. It's the least I could do, I think.

[ He feels grateful enough to even be here that he's fallen immediately back into the old routine of following orders, and after the initial introduction and orientation was over his orders were to report for his first shift at the electronics store. So he's done that before even going to see if the directions to his ship held true. Before even seeing Cassian and Jyn. And that has... well, proven to be a mistake. ]

I've worked out how to send a message — assuming anyone actually sees this — but I don't really know how to fix them. Does anybody have any tips about using the technology here? It's just a little, um, different from what I'm used to. Okay. Thank you.

[ He seems a little sheepish about having to ask at all, grimacing to himself as he ends the transmission and signs off. ]

It's all a matter of perspective. If you want to see it, maybe you will.

[ex_brainstorm70]

I see the dots... those are eyes, perhaps? And then more 'eyes' below those...

[straycloud]

[Koumyou shouldn't be causing anyone this much confusion, but maybe it would be good for him.

Besides, this is a delight. ] Everyone should have a variety of eyes. You can see so much more with them.

[ex_brainstorm70]

I've met a couple of species with four eyes, actually. Is that.. are you non-human? Um, not that it matters!!

[straycloud]

Not at all, but my eyes and its don't need to match. My eyes aren't black or white either.

[ex_brainstorm70]

I still don't think I understand...

[straycloud]

I think you do, as much as you need to. When it all comes together, think of how exciting it'll be.

[ex_brainstorm70]

[ One day he will suddenly realize how the emote is a face in the same way those seeing eye puzzles click and then he'll get all excited about it, but until then... ]

Well, thanks anyway, for the advice earlier.

[straycloud]

You're welcome to it. That advice works for people, too. A nap never hurts.

[ Because, real talk, stress might be an underlying issue here? ]

[ex_brainstorm70]

A nap? Come on now, I'm not five.

[straycloud]

There's nothing wrong with naps. I took one when I got here.

And today, too, actually...

[ex_brainstorm70]

Really? I mean, you don't sound very young or very old... are you sick? Is that why?

[straycloud]

Ah, is that really such a bad sign about my constitution?

[ex_brainstorm70]

[ Reluctantly, ] Well... it's not as though I'm a doctor or anything.
