[She's been cut off from the Green, all those feelings and connections with the plant world, since arriving at the Temple. It's still a strange and awful kind of thing... but being here, it only takes one long glance up at the ultra-advanced buildings, lights and halls full of robots to know that, even with powers intact, she would never feel the Green here.
How far does it go? Were there humans here before? Is that how it ended up like this? Or was it always robots? There's so many questions.
Caught somewhere between gawking at the sights, and feeling incredibly uncomfortable with this utter absence of nature and organic life, Tefé wanders the mall, trying to fend off the occasional overly helpful salesbot.]
No, I don't want to buy anything! I.. I don't want anything, sorry. Just looking.
The Hostel: Foodening
[Having to actually eat sometimes is unexciting, so the gloop in and of itself doesn't bother Tefé that much. If she still had her powers, she'd be able to tell where it came from, maybe what it was. But in the absence of that, and the complete lack of anything organic around other than themselves, this prompts... questions.
With a bowl of half-eaten nourishing gloop set aside on the table for now, she's busy poking at the machine, turning her head upside down to try looking up a dispensing spigot.]
How does it work?
[She asks as if you'd know.]
The City: Driving Miss Daisy (Part 1)
[Maybe some people are looking for a car for racing. Tefé is looking for one... to explore with.
Unfortunately it's not quite so simple to break into one and take off with the electronic ultra-modern 'keys' of a city of robots... and on top of that, she didn't really do much of the work on that road trip.
So you can find Tefé wandering between vehicles on the street, casually checking a door handle once in a while, or just staring at a particularly advanced model of car with some kind of sleek handle-free door, baffled... how do robots do any of this?]
The City: Driving Miss Daisy (Part 2)
[Some considerable time later...
Don't ask how she got her hands on a more manually operated vehicle. But she'd seen people drive before, even vaguely remembers a little from her time as 'Mary Conway', when she'd been enchanted into thinking she was a regular human teenager.
So how hard could it be, really?
Cue a car drifting around the corner, nearly smashing into the building across the way, veering dangerously close to actually hitting you before fishtailing, tire smacking up against the curb and... this car has had enough of reckless driving, tire popping with a loud BANG and skidding jerkily to a halt at the corner.
The door cracks open enough for Tefé's head to pop out, looking a bit nervous and sheepish. The tire is one thing but... she looks back, calling out:]
