WHALES!
Anders hit cold hard stone with a slightly whump while somewhat happy to have his head to himself for even a short amount of time he did wish it had better accommodations. Sure maybe not a five star hotel with attractive people of your preference feeding you grapes but at least a pillow would be nice. Still he simply sat against the back of his cell looking out at the empty cell across from him and the Hork-Bajir standing guard. Actually thinking about it for a second Kevin was sure he recognized this one.
"Hey Scar how's it going? Your blades are looking sharp today I see." The Hork-Bajir turned its head so its right eye could look at him and allowing a good view of the three scars going over it. The story was they came from a time before the Earth invasion had even began and one of Visser Three's various 'pets' that he had collected in order to gains as a morph got out of confinement. It wasn't pretty to say the least and for the Hork-Bajir standing there even being able to say you faced it and didn't just become chunky salsa meant you had to be tough. Still that one eye began to glare wanting to scare quiet whatever mewling host had spoken up before widening slightly in recognition.
"Ah if it isn't Wessel's host. Well if you must know I believe I'm up for promotion from host guard duty." Kevin got up and moved forward leaning his back against the cell bars.
"Oh to what? You going to be the main dish at Visser Three's next barbeque?" Scar just rolled the eye looking at Anders used to the hosts frequent attempts at getting under his guards skin. Though Scar had gotten used to it the banter that the attempts evolved into at least made for some relief when on guard duty.
"No actually its…" Almost as if the universe, or giant red eyes with prune-face dinosaurs minions, wanted to leave his promoted position a mystery there conversation was interrupted by what sounded like screaming. In fact when they turned to look, or turned to peak out through the bars in Kevin's case, they saw down the row of cages two human controllers trying dragging a somewhat short woman toward the pool. The woman was a brunette and her skin was tanned like someone that spend a lot of time at the beach. Her clothes being a t-shirt and shorts over what seemed to be a wetsuit further gave way to the interpretation Still eventually any theorizing about her personal life from appearance was cut off when they heard what she was shouting.
"WE MUST GIVE OURSELVES TO THE WARM EMBRACE OF HOLY BLUBBER!" Both human and Hork-Bajir controller blinked in confusion as the woman continued to talk about the sensations of such holy blubber. Eventually Scar just grumbled and spoke up sending a glare that could cut stone towards the shouting host when she and the two controllers got near.
"You two what is this host babbling so loudly about?" What Scar expected was for the woman to be quieted through fear and the two controllers to give an explanation. Instead the woman ignored the glare completely and made a beeline to stand in front of Scar dragging the two controllers along like a large dog drags its owner and tilted her head upwards to look at the Hork-Bajir.
"You see sir…"
"I'm female."
"Ma'am I'm trying to teach these fine people about the whales." Once again confusion. Though at this point Kevin decided on speaking up.
"Could you please clarify that statement." Upon hearing that the woman looked as happy as someone who'd just won a new car and began speaking animatedly jerking the two controllers trying to hold her around as she gestured.
"You see one day my mind was opened. That was the day me and my Yeerk Ceta met we went to the beach and heard it. The song whales sing not with their throats but with their minds. With that we realized that truly they are beings beyond humans. Better and with a love and understanding for all creatures Earth or not. But not only that but the Dolphins were there messengers of love. On that day we became more than Jessica Cassandra Lilly and Ceta 1986 but the PRIESTESS OF THE SACRED WHALE SONG! SO COME COME AND SING WITH US AND BE CONVERTED!" At this point she started making strange awwoga like sounds and Kevin couldn't take it no more and was laying on the floor of his cell laughing so hard his sides were hurting. Scar on the other hand had enough of this woman's nonsense and batted away the two controllers still unable to control her and took hold of the human herself on large hand covering her mouth.
"You who let this incompetence continue leave now before I think better and report you I will end this farce personally." She looked through the bars at the man starting to recover from his laugh fit.
"As for you consider this a goodbye for after today I'll be hopefully in much better places." Kevin just gave a little goodbye wave from the floor as the Hork-Bajir went off taking the crazed woman with her. Eventually he recovered enough to sit up again and just shrugged having enjoyed the brief break from the bleakness of sitting in a dingy cell waiting to be made host to a parasitic alien again. Besides the crazy being outside his cell was certainly better than the time he had to share with that fisherman that believed a ancient race of fish people sought to conquer Earth.
So not so much crime fighting this time but more a little bit of world building for the kind of things Kevin has to experience as a Yeerk host in a comedy story. Anyways as always if you like leave a review and if you have any questions/want to convert to the Sacred Whale song I'll be sure to give an answer/tell you the steps next time.
