[OPEN] Well. That Didn't Go Quite As Planned

Rating: PG-13, may vary by thread
What: You fall, you pick yourself back up and you move on. Or at least, you try.


Fished Out Of Water
One minute, you are witnessing the fabric of an entire world implode as it is literally ripped apart by powers unknown. The next, that tell-tale twist somewhere beneath your sternum, before you are bodily YANKED away from Akvos, away from the ocean and the Queen and the King and the Princess.

And land back on (mostly) solid, dry ground.

Welcome back to the Temple of Beginnings. Don't worry, there's no hurry for you to get back up just yet.


Hey, Howya Doin'?
Once you do get back up, now is the time to be taking stock of the situation - yours, your friends, and even those new merfolk neighbours (who may need a hand getting their fins back into the water). There is also the missing members of the Circle to consider: people who disappeared on the journey to Akvos, and those who never made it back..

(There's also that small matter with a certain 'witchess-san' that may be a cause for concern to some more than others.)

Whatever the case, it's a lot to process right now. Take the time you have, because you don't know if it'll be enough for what you need.

Who wouldn't be tired? [Though she's always ready for a nap. But in terms of dealing with world destruction, it'd be bizarre if someone was perfectly fine. G11 looks over at the other girl for a brief, scrutinizing moment before returning her attention to the assault rifle.]

Doing maintenance 'cause of the salt water.

[additionalmemory]

...Oh, I never really thought about it like that.

[Ayano smiles faintly.]

Are you sure it can’t wait? You look like you could use some sleep, and maybe you should make yourself the priority here.

[She’ll raise her hands sheepishly, though.]

...Ah, but, I’m just a stranger, what do I know!

[eyeofassault]

I'd be in sleep mode if this wasn't important...If I don't get out all the salt, I won't be able to properly function.

[Ayano's mixed signals don't help G11's processing. As far as she can tell, the stranger doesn't seemed phased a out the situation they just got out of. Kind of weird for a human.]

Why do you care about what I'm doing?

[additionalmemory]

I care about everyone! Whether we’re friends or not. I’ve been making sure that...you know, that no one that doesn’t want to be alone doesn’t have to be.

Wait, sleep mode!?

[Ayano jolts backwards with an awkward, surprised smile on her face.]

Oh my gosh, you’re digital!

[eyeofassault]

[Digital is an interesting choice of words, and for hot second, G11 is wondering if Hank put this girl up to being her friend....Nah, couldn't be. Her smile is dry in return:]

Yeaaaah, beep boop and all that. [The real question comes next--] And what do you get out of being friends with everyone.

[additionalmemory]

[Does she actually say beep boop?? Would asking for clarification be insulting?? Probably.]

Um...fulfillment, I guess. I mean, I know I’m not exactly...the coolest or most fun person, so it’s not like everyone usually wants to be friends with me in return...but! I like helping people and meeting people...

Although lately I haven’t been so good at it. Trying to turn over a new leaf, you know?

[eyeofassault]

[For some reason Ayano's rambling reminds her of another T-doll, but she doesn't feel like processing the vague memory to recall a model type.

But hey, this could be interesting.]

Hmmmmmmm...Alright. If you're my friend, does that mean you'll give me piggybacks to wherever? [TIME TO ATTEMPT TO REESTABLISH HER LAZY LIFESTYLE.]

[additionalmemory]

[Ayano looks surprised at first, but...smiles nonetheless. It’s a bit shaky, though.]

Ah, uh...o-of course! [She flexes her admittedly small bicep]

What kind of friend and big sister would I be if I didn’t?

[eyeofassault]

[...Some internal 'mwahahahaa' is going on inside G11's processor.]

Perfect. Then I don't have to wait around for 416. [She pulls the wet rag out of the pot of water and takes a moment to wring it out. If she wasn't in the middle of maintenance, she'd already be giving orders making requests.]

...I'm G11.

[additionalmemory]

It’s nice to meet you, G11!

[She bows because she’s polite!!]

416...Is that another robot?
