Bonded (a planetary RP)

<<Hey, Crow. How do you like humans? Pretty exciting, huh?>> Linda said in Feral. She readjusted Star on her shoulder. Nodding her apologies to Erin, she took the hall in three strides, and was at the dorm room door. She fingered the tiny knob, fidgeting with it a minute before getting the airlock to disengage with a hiss. She shrieked and stumbled back as music blared out into the hall. And the humans were all howling along with it. As her eyes darted around the room, one of the humans thumbed a button, and the blaring stopped. "Wha-what was that?" Linda said, shifting Star again. She was thankful she hadn't fallen all the way over, fearing she might have crushed the tiny creature.

One of the kids, a dark-eyed boy, held up a painfully decrepit sound system. "It's music." He said, then a crease formed between his brows. "Erm... aliens have that, right?"

The Sirius shook her head, "Not like that. What did it say? 'Momma killed a man'? What kind of mutiny-?"

"Oh." He said, inclining his head, "That's Bohemian Rhapsody. Everyone loves it, right, guys?" He turned to the other who had also been howling. The nodded, albeit suspicious of this alien with a girl over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Linda blinked rapidly. How could such become so popular? Even among the young? She knew very well the morals and ethics of this species, so why were they amused by this? And love? They loved this melodious sound? How was this possible?

Erin heard the music, and the shriek, but remained indifferent as she strode down the hall. She could practically hear the gears turning in Linda's head as the kids tried to explain their loose terminology for 'love' and 'like'. She glanced to Crow, "Pretty weird species, aren't we?" She said as they reached the airlock.
<<Strange habits, but otherwise ok,>> Crow replied in Feral right before Linda took off. The human music surprised him, but he tried not to show it. Just another one of their strange habits. He assured himself. To Erin, he said, "You could say that again."
 
"I didn't either," Crow said quietly, then instantly regretted it. "I mean.. uh, I didn't grow up with many Ferals around." He said quickly, hoping she wouldn't ask him what he meant.
She waved a hand, <<It's fine. I know what you mean.>> she said. She passed through the airlock and into the dorms.

Linda sat on one of the beds, the mattress crumpling beneath her weight, as the dark-eyed kid tried to explain the wonders of rock 'n roll. Star lay behind her, drooling on the pillow.

(Rock 'n' Roll is the bomb.)
