base:
[waking up, Fi finds herself definitely not in water. everything about the situation registers on her systems as new, and yet corresponding to the dream that was so fresh in memory. curious. strange. worthy of investigation - instinctively, she knows that to sit and wait idly is not the best course of action. there will be time for rest later.
so she begins to look around, beginning from the second floor, leaving the Sea Equipment room with the drone that had greeted her following behind after they exchange telepathic pleasantries and "Miss Fi" states her intentions. nowhere that anyone else can go is off limits in her investigation. Fi floats, gliding in the air gracefully, taking in locations and what the rooms seem to be purposed for. all for the sake of data. all for the sake of understanding and building a complete map as soon as possible. poking her head into everything, she can't be anything else other than another new arrival.
Fi doesn't greet others first, but she pauses and will remain a respectful distance away from them when she sees them, looking and observing who they are and what they seem like to her. sorry to those that find the looks that are halfway to staring more unsettling than polite. she wants the lay of the land before anything else, including names.]
water:
[of course, the base is not the only place to go. the world outside is far greater in scale and still calls to her to come and see without stopping. a wetsuit is not even a thought for her, and she drifts through the water as she is, a streak of blue that doesn't so much swim as simply travel through the water. but her work is interrupted by those of the aquatic species that come to satisfy their own curiosity, the more bold or friendly sorts coming closer and causing her to halt and acknowledge them.
for them, she drifts a little, lets them come closer or turns so that the edges of her cape fan out, as interested in them as they are her. the concept of some of them being dangerous is there, but she wants to know. wants to see them, record them, take in the data about them if it's allowed. in a way, she looks like she's having fun, as though they're innocently trying to communicate instead of a mutual moment of trying to understand what the other species is about.
there are different types - rabbitrays, some are called, gasopods another, or hoverfish another group, so URSULA's logs will say when she looks at them later. so much to learn. so much to see.]
wildcard.
[Fi is pretty much anywhere and everywhere right now, so if you have a scene in mind you want, go for it! cave exploring, floating in the dreamscape, whatever's wished.]

well… actually… it always turned out to be true most of the time so hm- ]
Will not to be. Name's Roderic. [ he inclines his head in greeting to make up for his lame wave just a second ago.
feeling a little bit more at peace for some reason, he looks back down to the dozing dog at his side and thinks maybe introductions should still be made. ] This here is Daisy. Cute as a button and smart as a human. Don't let her sleepiness fool you though. She's a lean, mean fighting machine when it comes to protecting the base.
[ judging by the hesitant smile on his face, it seems like he was trying to make a joke. ]
no subject
[she comes closer so she can look at them, man and dog both. almost like someone who would touch if it was allowed, but Daisy's calm should be preserved.]
I offer no threat to the base, so she should not have reason to fight.
[is it a joke back? is it Fi taking his words literally? who knows.]
no subject
[ those are the exact words going through his head as he looks at fi, trying to decide if he should continue to crack a joke or, you know, actually make conversation.
daisy makes it easy for him. the ruckus, quiet as it is, is still enough to rouse the dog up from her sleeping. upon seeing a new, and unfamiliar, face, she stands up and immediately scampers over to fi as she gives out a happy bark. hello, new face! hello! ]
Daisy-! What did I tell you about approaching strangers? [ he looks embarrassed as he turns his attention back to fi, rubbing the back of his neck. ] Sorry 'bout her. I think she's hoping you'll give her a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears.
no subject
There is no need to apologize.
[literally. why are you apologizing.]
no subject
huffing a bit, his way of laughing these days, he can't help but rub the back of his neck while he speaks. ] I mean- I gotta just in case. Better safe than sorry whenever she does this.
Hey... Looks like she really warmed up to you there, Fi. [ which isn't a lie. daisy is looking up at fi with big eyes and a happy doggy smile, tail wagging in pure joy as she enjoys the petting. ] That's quick, even for her.
no subject
[really, it's more a deflection, because while she knows how people should interact with animals, that's people. why would a dog become attached to her, unless it was looking for something. blue eyes gaze down into Daisy's, and she wonders what she should do next for her in order to reaffirm the trust that is apparently there.]
no subject
[ and that's a happy bark! from daisy and she's wagging her tail so much he's almost certain that it'll fly off by now if it weren't attached to that cushion of hers.
it's good to see her wanna make more friends with the new faces here on the base. probably realising how inept he was with people, daisy had stuck to his side faithfully to make sure he had company. sweet of her but, clearly, she's in her element as she continues to bark at fi, showing her affection for her. doesn't seem right to keep a good dog down. ]
Do you wanna see a trick? I think she'll do it for you at the rate she's going.
no subject
[it's formal, how she says it, but she means it. what does this creature want to show her? if her eyes were not so blank, they would be something like curious. Fi is nothing if not genuine, solely because that's the only way she knows how to be.]
no subject
[ daisy immediately pulls back and sits up straight as she can, a doggy grin on her face as she presents her paw out for it to be taken.
if it taken, daisy will give the politest 'woof!' she can manage before shaking the hand with her paw. somehow she manages to pull it off with the most serious air that a dog her size and looks could muster.
it takes all of roderic's pokerfacing to not laugh. ]
no subject
It is a good trick you can do.
[without a trace of irony. the drone is allowed to go back to petting the dog, since it likes that so much. if Daisy allows, of course.]
She is a remarkable creature.
