- [22:45] * [Mode]GM the wastelands, a harsh place to live, an even harsher place to die. It is out here that men are made, fighting for their right to survive with each passing day against the trials that haunt their lives. They're not important, for far away from the tribulations of struggle and survival stands a large and ominous prison on a cliff, overlooking the desert wastes.
- [22:46] * [Mode]GM It is here we find ourselves again, joining in the life of one particularly spoiled desert princess.
- [22:47] * [Mode]Aileen a piercing wail echoes through the prison speakers.
- [22:47] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm hungry! Where's lunch!?
- [22:47] * [kiri]Takenaba is still walking around aimlessly when he heard the call.
- [22:47] * [Gtz]Filia >>Write file: Iniuria.txt
- [22:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> God damn, I really need to go get changed.
- [22:48] * [kiri]Takenaba double time to his own room and triple time changed into maid outfit. ew, leg hair!
- [22:48] * [Spi]Kosha pinches the bridge of her nose in desperation. "Why did she have to find that button..."
- [22:48] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt - Subject Iniuria seems to react positively to comforting. Increase body language experimentation by 30% and cell consumption by 15%.
- [22:51] * [kiri]Takenaba rush to the warden room.
- [22:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm here, missy!
- [22:52] * [Gtz]Filia acknowledges the voice as that of the Master controller, and decides it takes precedence.
- [22:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Iniuria.
- [22:52] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, standing next to Filia.
- [22:52] <[Dune]Iniuria> yep, let's go to the kitchen.
- [22:53] * [Gtz]Filia doesn't react, merely allows her to lead the way.
- [22:53] * [Spi]Kosha continues on her journey to the Master, her usual careful pacing to mask a general indifference to her arrival. The Master probably does want to know what happened outside. tap. tap. tap. tap.
- [22:54] * [Dune]Iniuria sees this, and realizes Filia probably doesn't yet know the way to the kitchen from this corner of the prison.
- [22:55] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles, looking at Filia and taking her hand.
- [22:55] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, i'll lead the way.
- [22:56] * [Mode]Aileen the door is left open, and she drudges over and leans on the doorframe.
- [22:56] * [Gtz]Filia looks quizzical for a moment, but doesn't stop her. >> Iniuria acts strongly to physical contact.
- [22:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Take~ I'm hungry, did you bring food? I expected someone to come get me for lunch.
- [22:57] * [Dune]Iniuria then starts walking towards the kitchen, not letting go of Filia's hand and keeping a slight grasp on it.
- [22:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> Right away, Missy. Give me fifteen minutes. No, make it ten.
- [22:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> And I have something urgent to discuss regarding the guy out front, too.
- [22:58] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh! Right!
- [22:59] * [Mode]Aileen has completely forgotten about it already after it had passed.
- [22:59] <[Mode]Aileen> Was that person okay?
- [22:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> Nope. opposite of okay. I beat him senseless.
- [22:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> He attacked Kosha, so, yeah.
- [23:01] * [Mode]Aileen blinks for a moment.
- [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Wait, seriously?
- [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> And he's still around?
- [23:03] * [Spi]Kosha ...and left. Just down the corridor, ho-hum. tap. tap. tap. tap
- [23:04] * [Gtz]Filia while following Iniuria, speaks:
- [23:04] <[Gtz]Filia> Question.
- [23:05] * [Dune]Iniuria stops and turns to face Filia.
- [23:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes?
- [23:05] <[Gtz]Filia> How long will you be sustained until you require further energy?
- [23:06] * [Dune]Iniuria , remembering the event in the laundry room, and blushes slightly.
- [23:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> yeah. Throw him in the jail.
- [23:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> I hope you have a key for him or he's screwed.
- [23:06] * [Dune]Iniuria still speaks, however, even due to her slight embarrassment.
- [23:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, probably until dinner, at least.
- [23:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> you...gave me a lot.
- [23:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> well then, off to kitchen I am!
- [23:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> I hope you have a plan for him!
- [23:07] * [Gtz]Filia looks distant for a moment.
- [23:08] * [kiri]Takenaba exit the room
- [23:08] <[Gtz]Filia> "Hmm".
- [23:08] * [Dune]Iniuria notices this, and becomes slightly concerned.
- [23:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! Wait! Takenaba! Which cell block is he in!?
- [23:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, are you alright?
- [23:08] <[Gtz]Filia> My body can produce artificial blood once supplied with water, proteins, and basic minerals, though I would have to resupply often if I were to continuously sustain you.
- [23:09] <[kiri]Takenaba> I forgot!
- [23:09] * [Spi]Kosha quirks an eyebrow at hearing the call to Takenaba
- [23:09] * [Dune]Iniuria noticably looks worried upon hearing this, but speaks with some hope:
- [23:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> would eating three times a day resupply you well enough?
- [23:10] * [Dune]Iniuria looks into Filia's eyes, as she waits for a response.
- [23:10] <[Gtz]Filia> I do not eat in the same sense as a human. The water and proteins can easily be applied directly to the bloodstream using a syringe.
- [23:10] * [Spi]Kosha holds her katana to her chest, thumbs the metal capping on the scabbard absentmindedly and waits.
- [23:11] <[Gtz]Filia> My blood is unnecessary other than for seeming human. However, I do need to maintain a small amount to circulate nanomachines and repair damaged tissue.
- [23:12] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, but holds her gaze.
- [23:12] <[Gtz]Filia> No matter. As long as water and proper equipment is available, I can continue to produce blood.
- [23:12] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
- [23:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, i'm glad then.
- [23:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Continue.
- [23:13] * [Dune]Iniuria goes to turn back in the direction of the kitchen, but stops for a moment.
- [23:14] * [Dune]Iniuria with an inquisitive look, asks:
- [23:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> can you eat like a human, though? taste?
- [23:16] <[Gtz]Filia> I cannot ingest solid material. I can "drink" as a substitute for direct application to the bloodsteam, however it is primarily for Human Realism. T-1000s very rarely require reproducing blood at all; your case is an anomaly.
- [23:17] * [Dune]Iniuria looks slightly crestfallen upon hearing this, but overall retains her good mood without any break in pace.
- [23:17] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright then, that's something.
- [23:19] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns fully in the direction of the kitchen and walks, still not releasing Filia's hand from hers.
- [23:20] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt Subject Iniuria requires constant production of artificial blood to sustain itself. Increase artificial bodily fluid output by 47% at cost of 13% extra fuel cell consumption.
- [23:25] * [Dune]Iniuria then enters the kitchen after a short walk, Filia close behind.
- [23:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, here we are, Filia.
- [23:26] <[Gtz]Filia> >>Automap enabled. Destination identified as "Kitchen".
- [23:27] * [Mode]Aileen having retreated to her room momentarily, she soon remembers her hunger and rather than simply broadcast another demand, she makes a new plan. She'll go to the kitchen herself!
- [23:27] <[Gtz]Filia> What does the Master find most suitable for consumption?
- [23:27] * [kiri]Takenaba arrived at the kitchen, he pull his sleeves up, all fired up to cook!
- [23:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> IRON CHEF HAS ARRIVED!
- [23:28] * [Gtz]Filia has already began exploring cabinets and items available, taking little note of Takenaba at first.
- [23:28] * [Dune]Iniuria lets go of Filia's hand as she was about to move slightly ahead, to inspect the supplies.
- [23:28] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns to look at the new arrival, keeping Filia in her peripheral vision.
- [23:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> hey there, lovebirds!
- [23:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> oh, it's take-
- [23:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> Move a bit, I'm going to cook something real quick.
- [23:29] * [Dune]Iniuria suddenly blushes, and her heart thumps heavily.
- [23:29] * [Gtz]Filia turns and looks plainly at Takenaba.
- [23:29] * [Dune]Iniuria raises her voice in some distress:
- [23:29] <[Gtz]Filia> "lovebirds"? This is neither a title of I or Iniuria. What do you mean?
- [23:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> what?
- [23:29] * [kiri]Takenaba chuckles.
- [23:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll teach ya.
- [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Lovebirds" is a slangs. used to refer to a couple.
- [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> You know what couple is, right?
- [23:30] <[Gtz]Filia> Two.
- [23:30] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes more heavily as this goes on, remaining silent out of pure embarrassment.
- [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Haha. Good girl.
- [23:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ask your senior about the rest. I gotta work!
- [23:31] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iriuria.txt - Subject Iniuria becomes embarrassed at mention of "lovebirds". Explore further.
- [23:32] * [Dune]Iniuria then gains some resolve, and steps to intercept Takenaba.
- [23:32] * [Spi]Kosha sighs, at the traffic of people as both the Master and Takenaba pass her by. She wrings her hands around her scabbard as a subconscious support mechanism, and stands quietly for a moment in the lonely corridor
- [23:32] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks with a serious tone.
- [23:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> you saw?
- [23:32] <[kiri]Takenaba> I even call you, Ini. Damn.
- [23:33] * [Gtz]Filia looks between the two.
- [23:33] * [Dune]Iniuria glares straight at take, remorselessly.
- [23:33] <[Gtz]Filia> Is there a problem?
- [23:33] * [Dune]Iniuria softens her face as she turns to address Filia.
- [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> don't worry about it, i can handle this.
- [23:34] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
- [23:34] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns back to Takenaba, her gaze as harsh as before.
- [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> answer.
- [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> did you see?
- [23:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> I do.
- [23:34] * [Gtz]Filia resumes the meal-making process.
- [23:36] * [Spi]Kosha bites her lip and steels herself a momenth. "Well, at least -I- don't have to do it for them!". she thought to herself, drawing herself back up. Straightening her dress out, Kosha hefted her katana onto her shoulder, the sighed once more, defleated. "Maybe I'll go for a walk..."
- [23:36] * [Dune]Iniuria notes the meaning behind Take's statement.
- [23:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice now takes on a slightly remorseful tone, but her glare is still full of reprisal.
- [23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> you know, then, that i can't have you telling anyone.
- [23:37] * [kiri]Takenaba heat the pan and pour the oil in, just enough for the task.
- [23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> anything, at all.
- [23:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Eh? I thought you're happy with it!
- [23:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> well I'm cool, whatever. Private life and all.
- [23:38] * [Dune]Iniuria softens a little, but remains resolute.
- [23:38] * [Gtz]Filia >>Servantry.txt - Culinary Arts - Combine simple ingredients to make a meal that is both generally acceptable as well as nutritious for human beings. If meal is considered a failure, delete data used to make it and develop a new formula. Save formulas deemed successful. Experiment in time.
- [23:38] <[Mode]Aileen> Can't tell anyone what?
- [23:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you, and i would like it if you *didn't* tell about that,
- [23:38] * [kiri]Takenaba crack two eggs, and begin whipping it.
- [23:39] * [Mode]Aileen has arrived at the kitchen, somewhat unnanounced and relatively unnoticed, right at what could be the worst possible time.
- [23:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, I need a hand. someone chop the leek and the onion.
- [23:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whipping eggs is serious business.
- [23:39] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, and lets her argument drop.
- [23:40] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice is still a bit tough, but she mostly acts as her normal self. Mostly.
- [23:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> fine, i'll help out.
- [23:40] * [Dune]Iniuria goes to chop the leeks.
- [23:42] * [kiri]Takenaba heard some familiar stuck-up-princess-ey voice.
- [23:43] * [kiri]Takenaba found Aileen.
- [23:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hooh boy. Right at the critical moment.
- [23:45] * [Gtz]Filia finds a bag of potatoes, picks a few and begins skinning them with razor-sharp precision. None of the meat is wasted.
- [23:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh, so all of you are in here cooking, but...
- [23:47] * [Mode]Aileen looks over the collective, doing a head count.
- [23:47] <[Mode]Aileen> We're missing one.
- [23:47] * [Spi]Kosha . o O (...'so hard. It's not fair, I even made breakfast but no one wanted my food and I try and no one cares....)
- [23:47] * [Gtz]Filia dices the peeled potatoes and sets them in a frying pan, starting the stove at a low temperature. She leaves them alone for a moment and finds a roll of biscuits in the refrigerator. She doles them out on a pan and begins baking them.
- [23:47] * [Dune]Iniuria stops chopping the leeks and onions for a moment, and looks around.
- [23:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> huh, that's so...
- [23:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Huh? Oh right. The swordie's gone.
- [23:50] * [Gtz]Filia also begins cooking some bacon, despite the lack of nutritional value. The Master does not seem concerned with her long-term health, so alter objective to prioritize immediate positive reactions.
- [23:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Where is she?
- [23:51] * [Spi]Kosha . o O (...upid Takenaba could have got killed... not that I -want- thanks... jus...)
- [23:51] * [Gtz]Filia files away "swordie" as a reference to Subject Kosha
- [23:52] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to cooking, speaking as she does.
- [23:52] <[kiri]Takenaba> I don't know. I couldn't care less. Not a part of my job! YEARGH!
- [23:52] * [kiri]Takenaba throw a whipped eggs along with the ingredients into a heated pan.
- [23:52] * [Dune]Iniuria takes a moment to make an inquisitive glance at Takenaba, then resumes paying attention to assisting with the omelets.
- [23:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'M AN IRON CHEF WOOH!
- [23:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> when we finish lunch, we'll go looking for her, then?
- [23:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> WHIP THIS! SPIN THAT! MAKE IT CRISPY YELLOWY GOODNESS! YEAAAAAH!
- [23:53] * [Gtz]Filia >> Review>>Iniuria.txt - Examine Subject Iniuria's reaction to increased breast size. Make alterations throughout the day and night. Subject should be able to observe in twenty hours, record her reaction and determine its result.
- [23:54] * [kiri]Takenaba just love fire.
- [23:54] * [Gtz]Filia files away "Iron Chef" as a reference to Subject Takenaba
- [23:54] * [Mode]Aileen watches Takenaba with a mixture of surprise and amusement. It's not often she actually takes time to watch her staff.
- [23:55] * [kiri]Takenaba spin the finished omelette into the plate, it's not too good, not too bad. but the ingredients makes it awesomely fabulous.
- [23:55] * [Dune]Iniuria doesn't share Takenaba's extreme energy and enthusiasm, but assists dutifully and skillfully anyway.
- [23:56] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ah. Don't forget to put the tissue paper under it. Too much oil is bad for lady's health.
- [23:56] * [Gtz]Filia finishes cooking the bacon and fried potatoes, turning the heat off and turning to Aileen, ignoring Takenaba's conduct, deeming it "nonsensical"
- [23:56] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, and places two sheets under the omelet.
- [23:57] <[Gtz]Filia> Master. Is there a Medical Room available?
- [23:57] * [Dune]Iniuria becomes distracted and looks at Filia inquisitively.
- [23:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yup. All's done!
- [23:59] * [Spi]Kosha stops for a moment, a palid realisation krept over her self pity; she's been walking for a while now, and not really paid attention to where she's been. "... kept saying you wanted to be on your own... stupid Takenaba? Stupid Kosha..."
- [00:00] * [Spi]Kosha instinctively looked left and right, as panic encouraged her to take note of surroundings she couldn't. "...stupid."
- [00:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, medical? Probably. Ah...
- [00:00] * [Mode]Aileen leans on a clean countertop space while the food is prepared and kicks a foot against the ground in thought.
- [00:01] <[Gtz]Filia> If there is no complete information on the subject, I will search out the answer as soon as my list of objectives allows.
- [00:01] <[Mode]Aileen> I don't really remember the layout of this place too well. Aside from my room, the kitchen, the entrance and the outside gardens, I don't really need to know where anything else is. I leave that up t the maids to know.
- [00:01] <[kiri]Takenaba> I think I saw one. At the B block. Somewhere along the east wing.
- [00:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> i patrol everyday, d'oh.
- [00:02] * [Gtz]Filia lays out all the food on the table. >>Note: Investigate B block prior to other sections of the prison. Also determine where B block would be located.
- [00:02] <[Gtz]Filia> It is finished.
- [00:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> This should go well with rice, but we have none of that luxury here, so you could settle with bread.
- [00:07] * [Gtz]Filia stands aside in a manner once indicated by Iniuria, imitating a lack of control of the byproducts of respiration, blood flow, and boredom. She sways very slightly in place, trying to pop one of her fingers, although she has no joints.
- [00:08] * [Spi]Kosha takes a few shallow breaths, and steps backwards to the wall, groping hands seeking a solid point of reference as she slumps down to the ground. Burying her head in her knees, Kosha wrapped her arms over her head, grit her teeth, and rubbed her fingers over the grip in reassurance
- [00:08] * [kiri]Takenaba set the table with ease. Only for one set.
- [00:08] * [Mode]Aileen pushes away from the counter and heads to the food, getting right to the meal at hand.
- [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> Okay. I leave it to you here, Maidbot and Ini. I have something to do.
- [00:09] * [kiri]Takenaba leave the room in a hurry.
- [00:09] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles at Filia, seeing her idling like this.
- [00:09] * [kiri]Takenaba starts running.
- [00:10] * [kiri]Takenaba o 0 (Damn you, swordie! This place is really not the place to randomly walking around! Especially right now with some unknown person locked up inside!)
- [00:11] * [Gtz]Filia >>General Process - Ini? Perhaps this is a reference to Iniuria. >>Run Prblmsve.exe... Indeed, the language would deem this as a shorthand for Subject Iniuria's title.
- [00:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Another question.
- [00:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Do you know the location of the armory?
- [00:14] * [Dune]Iniuria , still smiling at Filia, answers.
- [00:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, i think i know where it is.
- [00:14] <[Gtz]Filia> Where?
- [00:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> would you like me to lead you there?
- [00:14] <[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative.
- [00:15] * [Dune]Iniuria walks closer to Filia, to the point where she could easily reach out and touch her.
- [00:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, follow me.
- [00:15] * [Gtz]Filia doesn't move.
- [00:16] * [Dune]Iniuria stops and turns around to look at Filia, speaking with concern in her voice:
- [00:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> Filia? is anything wrong?
- [00:16] <[Gtz]Filia> I have prioritized observing the Master's reaction to the meal over searching the Prison. Do you wish me to override this order of priority?
- [00:17] * [Dune]Iniuria nods in relief, now understanding.
- [00:17] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, so you want to see how she enjoys your cooking!
- [00:18] <[Dune]Iniuria> we can remain here for a short while, if you wish to.
- [00:19] * [Mode]Aileen overhears the maidbot as she eats, and sits back, waving her fork.
- [00:20] <[Mode]Aileen> S'good! This is all so great, especially this.
- [00:20] * [Mode]Aileen pokes at the potatoes still left, not very many by now.
- [00:20] <[Gtz]Filia> Correct. If the Subject reacts positively to the meal, I will know more about what to make in the future. From what I have collected about the duties of human servantry, it is equivalent to human extermination in the fashion that it is redundant.
- [00:21] <[Mode]Aileen> Wha?
- [00:21] * [Mode]Aileen shrugs.
- [00:21] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, whatever that has to do with making good food, keep it up.
- [00:21] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
- [00:22] <[Mode]Aileen> You could be well on your way to become head maid with food like this.
- [00:22] * [Gtz]Filia turns back to Iniuria, and almost smiles.
- [00:22] * [Gtz]Filia but then turns back to Aileen.
- [00:22] * [Mode]Aileen shovels another mouthful of potatoes and bacon away, effectively finishing her meal. She kicks back in the seat and stare up at the ceiling.
- [00:22] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah~ delicious. Now...
- [00:23] <[Gtz]Filia> "Head maid"? I do not understand. From what I gather, this is a position of authority. I am not suited to give commands unless they are to achieve objectives.
- [00:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, it'd be easy.
- [00:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Instead of taking orders from everyone, you give them out. You'd be first to hear from me, and the one to pass on my orders to the others.
- [00:25] <[Mode]Aileen> Your word would be second only to mine in this prison.
- [00:25] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. I understand.
- [00:26] * [Mode]Aileen sits forward again, folding her hands and resting her chin on her knuckles.
- [00:27] <[Gtz]Filia> This is very unusual conduct, however. I have no data of my prior existence since this morning, but I gather that T-1000s are very rarely placed above human servants in bureaucracies. Nevertheless, if the objective is given, I will meet it.
- [00:27] <[Gtz]Filia> [GODDAMMIT SCRATCH THAT]
- [00:28] <[Mode]Aileen> Wish I had more maids on hand like the two of you. High performance robots.
- [00:28] <[Gtz]Filia> This is very unusual conduct, however. I have no data of my prior existence since 7.58 this morning, but I gather that T-1000s are very rarely placed above human servants in bureaucracies. Nevertheless, if the objective is given, I will meet it.
- [00:29] * [Dune]Iniuria nods at Aileen.
- [00:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you.
- [00:29] * [Gtz]Filia returns to Iniuria.
- [00:30] <[Gtz]Filia> Show me the armory.
- [00:30] * [Dune]Iniuria nods at Filia, now.
- [00:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> yep, let's go.
- [00:30] * [Mode]Aileen gets up form the table and walks towards the exit from the kitchen.
- [00:30] <[Mode]Aileen> I think I'll go play in the yard for a bit. Sandstorm has died down...
- [00:32] * [Dune]Iniuria takes Filia's hand again, and walks out of the kitchen in the direction of the armory.
- [00:32] * [Gtz]Filia >>MasterController.txt - Subject spending an undetermined amount of time outside. Refer to Automap.txt if knowledge of her location becomes necessary.
- [00:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> HEY! KOSHA! WHERE ARE YOU! GET BACK HERE!
- [00:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> WOOOOOOH!
- [00:34] * [Gtz]Filia allows her hand to be taken and is led to the armory. She takes note of any doors and location entitlements along the way.
- [00:35] * [Gtz]Filia runs Inquire.exe
- [00:35] <[Gtz]Filia> Earlier, you had shown embarrassment when Takenaba mentioned "lovebirds". Does this term make you uncomfortable?
- [00:35] * [Spi]Kosha is startled, suddenly releived and paniced and confused. She quickly wipes her face with her sleeve and gets to her knees, fumbling with her sword. "What do I do? I can't let her see me like this"...
- [00:36] * [kiri]Takenaba walk around randomly until he see her fiddling with something at the far end of the hall.
- [00:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey there! Where ya going! This place is not totally safe!
- [00:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's pace slows and she blushes heavily as her heart begins pumping faster.
- [00:38] * [Dune]Iniuria lets go of Filia's hand, and takes a few steps further from Filia before stopping..
- [00:39] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt - Subject Iniuria's pulse rate increases upon mention of "lovebirds". Either the term holds significance or the question itself is significant.
- [00:39] * [Dune]Iniuria keeps her back turned and face down, so intensely embarrassed that she cannot face Filia.
- [00:39] * [Spi]Kosha grips her sword and sqeezes her eyes tight. I... can't... but I'm scared... Kosha's thoughts are conflicted, and she turns on the spot to put her back to Takenaba as she holds back tears.
- [00:39] * [Gtz]Filia stops and observes Iniuria.
- [00:39] <[Gtz]Filia> What is wrong?
- [00:40] * [kiri]Takenaba walk to Kosha.
- [00:40] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey. What's wrong. You hurt from the battle earlier? lemme look...
- [00:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> a-ah, no, nothing's wrong...
- [00:41] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice is quiet, and trails off.
- [00:41] <[Spi]Kosha> "wuh? Tha-... I..."
- [00:41] <[Gtz]Filia> Negative. Your vocal patterns and heartrate betray your words. You have a conflict of some sort.
- [00:42] * [Spi]Kosha creases, her knuckles going white and she holds her sword in a grip
- [00:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, C'mon. It's very important to take care of your wounds. This is wasteland. Things might get difficult.
- [00:42] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes eaven more heavily, if that is possible.
- [00:42] * [kiri]Takenaba touch Kosha's shoulder and trying to spin her to face him.
- [00:43] * [Dune]Iniuria tries to bring herself to face Filia, but manages only to turn halfway, face still down.
- [00:45] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt - Subject Iniuria does not respond positively to speaking of this subject. Offer termination and carry out the answer.
- [00:45] * [Dune]Iniuria remains silent for a moment longer, but eventually speaks incredibly softly.
- [00:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, Filia...
- [00:45] * [Spi]Kosha reels back, and lets out a whimper. Tears begin to form at the corners of her eyes and her brow furrows as her inner thoughts conflict and clash. Oh the trajedy of it all. With a quickly stifled wail, Kosha burries her face in Takenaba's leg and grips on to his dress in a mess of tears
- [00:45] <[Gtz]Filia> If you do not wish to tell me, then I shall override my command to search answers. However, this problem will go without question in the future.
- [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ow-- Hey---!?
- [00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria shakes her head side to side to refuse this as she manages to quickly bring her almost-entirely red face to meet Filia's eyes.
- [00:47] * [kiri]Takenaba startles a bit with the sudden act.
- [00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks no less softly, yet somehow sounds louder,
- [00:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> do you know what 'lovers' means?
- [00:48] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh, and sit down. Pulling Kosha into a hug. He ruffles her hair and let her use his chest as she please.
- [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, C'mon now. Easy... easy.....
- [00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria faces Filia straight-on, gazing into her eyes and waiting for an answer.
- [00:50] <[Gtz]Filia> "Lovers" - a couple that express adoration for one another. It derives from the word "love" which is a concept, one that I am not programmed to understand.
- [00:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> What's the matter, hm? Something's bugging you?
- [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria exhales softly, and then, with slightly more resolve than before:
- [00:52] * [Spi]Kosha rests her head against Takenaba for a moment, shuddering gently and she attempts to compose herself. She turns away from Takenaba, still clutching, and sniffs a little
- [00:52] <[Spi]Kosha> "..."
- [00:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> 's cool, Kosha. if you tell me about it, you might feel better.
- [00:54] <[Dune]Iniuria> 'lovers'...is basically what 'lovebirds' means.
- [00:54] <[Spi]Kosha> "... I... I, ju-*snk*-just..."
- [00:54] <[Gtz]Filia> We are lovers?
- [00:55] * [Gtz]Filia 's expression does not change, looking only mildly inquisitive.
- [00:56] * [Dune]Iniuria averts her gaze for a moment in a sudden surge of embarrassment, and her heart beats faster as she slowly brings her head back up to meet Filia's eyes once more.
- [00:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-um, that's at least how he sees it...
- [00:58] * [kiri]Takenaba hold Kosha tighter. Somehow, even Takenaba himself starts getting nervous. He shouldn't be hugging a girl at the time like this. Come to think of it, she's cute alright but.... Nah. Can't be. This is a job. Nothing personal. Yeah. At least that's what he want to think.
- [00:58] <[Gtz]Filia> So "lovers" is simply Takenaba's perception?
- [01:00] * [Dune]Iniuria 's head barely moves, almost wanting have to averted her gaze, but she keeps it.
- [01:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> i guess, but simultaneously...
- [01:03] * [Spi]Kosha slowly starts to compose herself, it's too hard to think... she doesn't want to be weak, she wants to stand on her own, but now it's like she can't... a reminder that she has to rely on others. Kosha lessens her grip and turns toward Takenaba, her eyes swell wetly somewhat by the tears. ...don't need anyone... lingers in her mind, but fear is still there.
- [01:05] * [Dune]Iniuria takes a step towards Filia, never breaking the gaze into her eyes and clutching her left hand to her chest.
- [01:06] * [Gtz]Filia 's gaze traces from her hands to Iniuria's eyes, expecting an explanation
- [01:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> i hope you come to understand ...
- [01:07] * [Dune]Iniuria takes another step closer to Filia, close enough now to reach out and touch her.
- [01:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> what i have come to feel for you.
- [01:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> kosha...
- [01:08] <[Gtz]Filia> You have not mentioned this subject. Define it and I will work to understand.
- [01:09] * [kiri]Takenaba look into that pair of eyes... Damn! this is work! Strictly business! I can't...!
- [01:10] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes shine with a brightness they did not before.
- [01:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...love.
- [01:11] * [Gtz]Filia >>New objective: Determine nature of "love". >>Write Love.txt...
- [01:12] <[Spi]Kosha> "Why.. why are.. you here?"
- [01:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> looking for you, silly.
- [01:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Love is a human concept that is not based upon scientific fact; it cannot be studied with a normal problem solving process. However, I have determined that concepts are within reach of my intelligence, and I shall add it to my priorities.
- [01:14] * [Spi]Kosha furrows her brow, maybe she does care? It's just so...
- [01:14] <[Spi]Kosha> "...you think I'm weak."
- [01:14] * [Dune]Iniuria hesitates for a moment, but then takes the final step to Filia and hugs her tightly around her midsection.
- [01:14] <[Gtz]Filia> The best way for me to discover love first hand is to observe and experience it. Show me what "love" is.
- [01:14] <[kiri]Takenaba> That's why I'm here.
- [01:14] * [kiri]Takenaba ruffles.
- [01:15] * [Gtz]Filia assumes a position of comfort again, putting an arm around her back and observing her reaction. Last time, overall reaction to the gesture was positive.
- [01:16] * [Dune]Iniuria purrs in comfort, and raises her head from its resting place upon Filia's body to give her a warm smile, and to look into her eyes.
- [01:17] * [Spi]Kosha clenches her grip on Takenaba again, and looks down.
- [01:17] * [Gtz]Filia returns the smile. Returning gestures seems to yield positive results, increase output.
- [01:17] <[Spi]Kosha> "...oh"
- [01:18] <[Gtz]Filia> Is this "love"?
- [01:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> it's alright. No on is strong since birth.
- [01:20] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles even more warmly.
- [01:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm strong becuase I work for it.
- [01:20] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, this is part of it~.
- [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Don't worry. You can be strong. just not now.
- [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Tkae your time....
- [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> *take
- [01:21] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice takes on a serene tone.
- [01:21] <[Gtz]Filia> I see.
- [01:23] * [Spi]Kosha sniffs
- [01:23] <[Gtz]Filia> Love seems to be simple. If you wish me to secure the role as your "lover" then it is not a problem. However, "love" is currently conflicting with my objective to find the armory and secure weapons.
- [01:23] <[Spi]Kosha> "You... you don't..."
- [01:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> Easy, easy. Talk to me when you feel better.
- [01:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> For now, let just stay like this.....
- [01:24] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh.
- [01:24] <[Spi]Kosha> "No."
- [01:24] * [Spi]Kosha pushes back
- [01:24] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, slightly.
- [01:25] <[Spi]Kosha> "No, you don't know anything! I don't need anyone, I'm stronger!"
- [01:25] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oh ho.
- [01:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> Love...
- [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> sheesh, you are such a troublesome little brat.
- [01:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> from even this short time, i can tell you it's a lot more complex than you tink~.
- [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Strong? Try taking me down.
- [01:26] * [kiri]Takenaba ready his stance.
- [01:26] <[Spi]Kosha> "You?! You couldn't fight a man who was near dead!"
- [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Take me down, and I'll recognize you as a strong person.
- [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Come.
- [01:26] <[Spi]Kosha> "...you're stupid Takenaba."
- [01:27] <[Spi]Kosha> "...stupid"
- [01:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> ... so do you, Kosha.
- [01:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> it conflicts too, sometimes.
- [01:27] <[Gtz]Filia> If there is more to the subject, I suggest you teach me in time, unless you find it a top priority right now.
- [01:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> no, it'll take time.
- [01:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> for now, let's go to the armory.
- [01:28] <[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative.
- [01:28] <[Spi]Kosha> "I'm not afraid of anyone who wants to hide behind guns!"
- [01:28] * [Dune]Iniuria quickly is regaining her normal color and demeanor, with the exception of much greater happiness.
- [01:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> let's go~!
- [01:29] * [Dune]Iniuria takes Filia's hand, and semi-runs in the direction of the armory.
- [01:30] * [Gtz]Filia follows at a quickened pace, and notes in her Iniuria.txt to observe reaction when precedence is taken in physical contact.
- [01:34] * [Spi]Kosha screams and jumps towards Takenaba, tears streaming down her face, and swings with all her might!
- [01:35] * [kiri]Takenaba whip his hand. And with a loud clank, send the swords flying, and the impact push Kosha stumble ass first to the floor.
- [01:35] * [Mode]GM a short while later, the pair of androids come to the entrance to the armory. The door is in ruins, the frame mostly crumbled away, the door itself lays within the room, bearing marks of having been blown inwards by an explosion. The room within in a mess, scattered bits of metal, spent casings and loose bullets. What guns are left are either in bad repair or simply broken.
- [01:36] * [Mode]GM various parts of guns lay scattered around the room, obviously resulting from whatever it was that ble win the door. None of the damage seems recent, however. It's likely that the room had been destroyed and raided long before the prison was converted into a 'mansion'.
- [01:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's pace slows to a halt as she and Filia walk inside the armory.
- [01:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, here we are.
- [01:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> still a mess, though.
- [01:39] * [Spi]Kosha lands heavily and fails entirely to recover from the landing, tumbling ass-over-face sprawled across the floor
- [01:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Nyuuhh..."
- [01:40] * [Gtz]Filia searches the room diligently, trying to identify what is still operational and what is beyond immediate repair.
- [01:41] * [Dune]Iniuria sees Filia doing this, and decides to join in though she seeks ammo moreso than weaponry.
- [01:41] * [Spi]Kosha gets up onto one knee, and growls under her breath
- [01:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> Not good enough, Kosha.
- [01:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> Give me all you got.
- [01:44] <[Spi]Kosha> "hah... I was... going easy... on you!"
- [01:45] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. If you expect heavy resistance from other organisms on your life, this may be insufficient.
- [01:46] * [Spi]Kosha stands up, sways gently, and shifts herself to face Takenaba, tears still flow, but she puts on a steely determination
- [01:46] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks while searching.
- [01:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> probably, but we've got something very few else do.
- [01:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> impregnable defenses.
- [01:47] * [Gtz]Filia digs through a pile of junk, finding a crude weapon from the 20th century: an M79 Grenade launcher. She inspects the weapon carefully, determining that there is nothing mechanically wrong with it and that it is able to fire. She looks down the barrel from the breech, looks back to Iniuria, and smiles with half her face, forming a strange sort of smirk.
- [01:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> even if an entire army arrived on our doorstep they couldn't get in unless we *let* them in.
- [01:48] * [Dune]Iniuria looks back at Filia, smiling.
- [01:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> that looks like it fits you.
- [01:48] * [Gtz]Filia puts the weapon away in on of her long pockets, and resumes searching for ammunition.
- [01:48] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. I see.
- [01:50] * [Dune]Iniuria then pulls out her own weapon, an all-metal autorevolver, and idly inspects it.
- [01:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> hm, tell me if you find any .44 magnum, would you?
- [01:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> i haven't been able to find much, lately.
- [01:50] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
- [01:51] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
- [01:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you~.
- [01:55] * [Gtz]Filia removes rubble to access a locker containing explosives, including many grenade shells and grenade storage equipment.
- [01:55] <[Gtz]Filia> Excellent.
- [01:55] * [Dune]Iniuria looks over from her own searching, and walks over to take a look.
- [01:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> wow, nice find.
- [01:56] * [Gtz]Filia grabs one of the cases and begins filling a belt full of the shells, until she empties the box.
- [01:57] * [kiri]Takenaba brace for another impact, looking at the incoming sword to deflect it away.
- [01:59] * [Spi]Kosha rushes back at Takenaba, in a stream of gushing fury, leaping into the air once again, and brings her sword down in a shining arc. However, as she leaps she turns her momentum into a spin sheathing her blade and landing beside Takenaba's block, smashing the butt of the scabard into his stomach
- [02:00] * [Dune]Iniuria resumes her searching, and has difficulty finding anything.
- [02:00] * [Dune]Iniuria however manages to find precisely one .44 magnum round sitting upright on a forgotten table.
- [02:01] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs and grumbles, stuffing the bullet into one of her pockets.
- [02:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> OSHI---!
- [02:05] * [Dune]Iniuria continues searching, but becomes a tad frustrated as she only finds spent .44 magnum casings.
- [02:05] * [kiri]Takenaba got blown away with some strange Shining, blinding arc. He smashed with the wall and roll down on the foor, coughing up blood.
- [02:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> MNG--- So you really give it your all....
- [02:06] * [Gtz]Filia finds a little ammunition of several types, and orders them on a table, placing them next to magazines and containers she identifies as compatible with that ammo type. She withholds the .44s she finds, and when she finishes sorting she presents a handful to Iniuria.
- [02:06] <[Gtz]Filia> Here.
- [02:06] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to Filia and sees the gift, brightening.
- [02:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, thank you very much~!
- [02:07] <[Spi]Kosha> "Inner strength. You think because I can't see that I am weak? You saw the blade and thought you knew how to beat me..."
- [02:07] * [Dune]Iniuria takes them and stuffs them into a pocket, smiling.
- [02:07] * [Spi]Kosha sniffs and trembles
- [02:07] <[Gtz]Filia> No problem.
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll get real this time. Be prepared.
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> TIEN
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> bZAN
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> ZAN
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> BA
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> XI
- [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> CHUAN
- [02:09] * [kiri]Takenaba get into his full stance.
- [02:10] * [Gtz]Filia starts searching for spent ammo casings, thinking that if a reloader tool can be recovered, she can manufacture more bullets.
- [02:11] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to her searching, and quickly finds some more bullets of various calibers in a small bag, and arranges them on the table as Filia has, taking the few .44 magnum rounds there for herself.
- [02:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Stance set."
- [02:14] * [Spi]Kosha sways gently, holding her sword limply to her side. She turns around, to face Takenaba again, and raises her haid. "I don't need you, you're the one who needs me, to proove that you're something. I can anything you throw, now."
- [02:19] * [kiri]Takenaba use that move again. That move that he send a man flying. Dashing toward, he stomp the ground with a loud crunch and fires his right like a hand cannon...
- [02:20] * [Mode]GM through combined efforts, some rubble is cleared away revealing several boxes of shells for various calibers. Most are empty, and crumpled, but a fair amount still contain rounds that aren't crushed or damaged. Total count of recovered bullets comes to 90 rounds of assorted ammo types, including a dozen undamaged hollow point .44 rounds.
- [02:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
- [02:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> [LOUD BLAM]
- [02:22] * [Spi]Kosha grips her sword tightly and furrows her brow
- [02:27] * [Gtz]Filia attempts to reassemble a 1911, but cannot find all of its parts.
- [02:29] * [Dune]Iniuria takes the special ammunition, and then sits down near Filia to try and help assemble new weapons.
- [02:31] * [kiri]Takenaba hit Kosha's sword, and send her flying along with her weapon, scabbard and whatnot. She's rolling away to the far end of the hall and lying there, not moving.
- [02:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Release."
- [02:32] * [kiri]Takenaba sends a steam out of his body. It's kind of funny in this outfit, though.
- [02:35] * [Dune]Iniuria sees that Filia's having trouble trying to assemble a pistol.
- [02:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, let me help.
- [02:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> argh, damn.
- [02:36] * [Gtz]Filia relinquishes control over the pistol parts.
- [02:37] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
- [02:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Why the hell did i bow her away at full force? damn.
- [02:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> *blow
- [02:37] * [Dune]Iniuria then rises and takes a look about the room, shuffling through a small pile of rubble and returning within a minute.
- [02:38] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks to herself as she works on repairing it.
- [02:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> it's only the slide that's broken, so...
- [02:38] * [kiri]Takenaba run back and retrieve Kosha into his arms.
- [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria with a final click, the old slide has been removed and replaced with a finer one from the pile of parts.
- [02:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Sorry, Kosha. Didn't mean to. I'm not in life-and-death situation often.
- [02:39] * [Gtz]Filia observes Iniuria's reparation of the firearm. She isn't entirely familiar with these older weapons.
- [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks, facing Filia and handing the gun to her.
- [02:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, here you are.
- [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
- [02:39] * [Spi]Kosha hes entirely succumbed to unconsciousness, but even in this state seems to grip tightly to her sword. To sleep, per chance to cut things
- [02:40] * [Gtz]Filia draws the slide, and smiles back.
- [02:40] <[Gtz]Filia> You are good at this. Have you also been programmed for combat?
- [02:41] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh, and remember to apologize her later. For now, he's taking her to her quarter.
- [02:42] * [Dune]Iniuria 's face shows slight surprise.
- [02:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> eh?
- [02:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> no, this is just one skill i've picked up over the years.
- [02:42] <[Gtz]Filia> I see.
- [02:43] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles warmly, and playfully pokes Filia's arm.
- [02:43] <[Dune]Iniuria> i may look really young, but i'm older than i seem~.
- [02:44] * [Gtz]Filia slips the weapon away behind her apron.
- [02:46] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. You must have experienced many things. This is perhaps why you're so identical to human beings.
- [02:46] * [Gtz]Filia says, not paying Iniuria any direct attention.
- [02:48] * [Dune]Iniuria notices this but doesn't especially mind.
- [02:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, that has a good deal to do with it.
- [02:49] <[Gtz]Filia> Is love one of these experiences?
- [02:50] * [Gtz]Filia speaks while filling magazines with their respective type of bullets
- [02:50] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes slightly again, but instead looks into Filia's eyes rather than bashfully looking away.
- [02:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> as of late, i'd say yes.
- [02:50] <[Gtz]Filia> As of late? What do you mean?
- [02:51] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
- [02:51] * [Mode]Aileen without much warning, a loud voice blares through the entrance hall.
- [02:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> recently, so to say.
- [02:51] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! I found something cool!
- [02:51] * [Mode]Aileen has returned, wielding a megaphone.
- [02:51] <[Gtz]Filia> I understand that, however I cannot define the implications.
- [02:52] * [Gtz]Filia turns away from Iniuria, distracted by the megaphone
- [02:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Strange.
- [02:53] * [Dune]Iniuria hears the megaphone as well, but is largely not distracted by it.
- [02:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> just a little~.
- [02:53] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs. Let the robomaid take care of that. Priority is to get this little swordie to her room and nurse her back to health. He know his power. and he also know it hurts a lot.
- [02:56] * [Dune]Iniuria reaches out and takes Filia's hand, trying to gain her attention.
- [02:56] <[Mode]Aileen> Where is everyone?
- [02:56] * [Gtz]Filia 's head turns to face Iniuria.
- [02:56] * [Mode]Aileen wanders around the entrance hall, blaring her voice through the megaphone as she walks.
- [02:57] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks suggestively, gazing into Filia's eyes.
- [02:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> well, who's someone i've only just met recently?
- [02:58] <[kiri]Takenaba> "OVER HERE, MISSY!"
- [02:58] * [kiri]Takenaba waves at Aileen as she walks by.
- [02:58] <[Gtz]Filia> I have no record of your first contacts because they predate my awareness.
- [02:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> let's just say you're the newcome.
- [02:59] * [Dune]Iniuria pokes Filia with her free right hand.
- [02:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> newcomer~.
- [03:00] <[Gtz]Filia> Newcomer? Is this a title suggestion?
- [03:00] * [Dune]Iniuria shakes her head.
- [03:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> nah.
- [03:01] <[Gtz]Filia> You're insinuating I'm the one you've met most recently.
- [03:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> and you are.
- [03:01] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
- [03:02] <[Gtz]Filia> What does that have to do with your experiences in love?
- [03:02] <[Dune]Iniuria> they're basically recent.
- [03:03] * [Mode]Aileen hears Takenaba, if only barely, and turns to see him.
- [03:03] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh! Hey!
- [03:03] * [Mode]Aileen she keeps talking through the megaphone, absentmindedly this time.
- [03:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> 'sup!
- [03:03] <[Mode]Aileen> Look what I found! It's like the intercom thing only I can carry it with me!
- [03:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> NICE!
- [03:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> You do know you have to concern about battery life, right?!
- [03:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> And I THINK YOU FORGOT ABOUT THAT GUY I THROW IN THE JAIL !
- [03:07] <[Gtz]Filia> I don't understand. Could you provide an example or practice?
- [03:09] <[Mode]Aileen> Eh?
- [03:09] * [Mode]Aileen did forget, but brushes that aside.
- [03:09] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes more, but moves right next to Filia and hugs her.
- [03:09] <[Mode]Aileen> He'll be fine for a day though, won't he? Besides, if he was someone dangerous I don't want to go looking for him alone, in a cell or not.
- [03:10] * [Mode]Aileen is still using the megaphone, pointing directly at Takenaba.
- [03:10] * [Gtz]Filia pats her back and shoulders lightly, becoming more familiar with touching.
- [03:10] <[kiri]Takenaba> Alright! Cool!
- [03:11] <[Gtz]Filia> Love appears to be very nonsensical. All the information provided conflicts with others.
- [03:12] * [Dune]Iniuria humms slightly in comfort, and then speaks.
- [03:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> hmm~, for centuries, millenia, humans have pondered just that.
- [03:14] <[Gtz]Filia> I do not have centuries. I have seventy days, twenty-one hours and fifty-six minutes until I relinquish Human Realism and reenter Safe Mode.
- [03:15] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice takes on new resolve.
- [03:15] * [Mode]Aileen finally drops the megaphone, and spends a few seconds figuring out how to turn it off, then looks back at Takenaba.
- [03:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> if i can help it, you'll be remaining longer.
- [03:15] <[Mode]Aileen> So, think you can show me where you locked this guy up?
- [03:16] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yeah, sure! But I need to get Kosha to her room first!
- [03:16] * [kiri]Takenaba point at the unconscious girl.
- [03:18] <[Gtz]Filia> Remaining beyond seventy days would mean ceasing Human Realism and operating in Safe Mode as my primary function. This would expand my projected lifespan to thirty-six years.
- [03:18] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
- [03:19] <[Dune]Iniuria> again, not if i can help it.
- [03:19] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'm sure there's a way to recharge your power cell, or find new ones around here.
- [03:21] <[Gtz]Filia> The cells do not recharge. Our power supplies are disposable. The only location I can be sure of to contain a usable power cell is within another Cyberdyne Model 101.
- [03:24] * [Dune]Iniuria then too-quickly blurts out:
- [03:24] <[Dune]Iniuria> surely there's still other ways to give you power, right?
- [03:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> somehow...?
- [03:25] <[Gtz]Filia> All Cyberdyne models with the T- series chips are hard-coded to defend themselves. It would not be a simple matter to acquire one. You would have to find an inactive automaton with a usable power supply.
- [03:25] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely.
- [03:26] * [Mode]Aileen looks down at Kosha at the indication, and steps back a bit.
- [03:27] <[Mode]Aileen> What happened here?
- [03:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> Lots of stuffs, missy. Come down here, I'll tell ya.
- [03:27] * [Dune]Iniuria 's normally uplifted demeanor then leaves her, and her head sinks down in remorse.
- [03:28] * [Gtz]Filia examines this change in temperament.
- [03:28] <[Gtz]Filia> What is wrong?
- [03:29] * [Dune]Iniuria is shocked enough to not notice Filia's question, though she's not even a foot away.
- [03:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> is that...so?...
- [03:31] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes grow distant as her pupils constrict, her breath and heartbeat slowing to below-normal levels.
- [03:31] * [Gtz]Filia scrutinizes her, drawing her face very close to Iniuria's.
- [03:31] <[Gtz]Filia> Is what so?
- [03:32] * [Dune]Iniuria blinks once and recognizes this question, but does not visibly change except for her mouth's movement.
- [03:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...that...your life is that short?
- [03:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...that you ...
- [03:33] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice remains at a low monotone.
- [03:34] <[Gtz]Filia> A cell at full power can sustain me for 120 years at its fullest capacity. However, mine is used and damaged.
- [03:34] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes glint in recognition.
- [03:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...but...
- [03:34] * [Mode]Aileen makes her way over to Takenaba.
- [03:35] <[Dune]Iniuria> there must be some way to save you, right?
- [03:35] <[Gtz]Filia> Also, I am running, writing and editing many of my processes, several in which are taxing on my CPU.
- [03:37] <[Gtz]Filia> Save me? Continue operation? If I were to acquire a new fuel cell, I could sustain myself for much longer.
- [03:40] * [Dune]Iniuria picks up slightly, but barely.
- [03:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> then do you think we could find any, here?
- [03:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> possibly, without taking them from another?
- [03:40] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely.
- [03:41] * [Dune]Iniuria is becoming slowly more responsive, and she slightly raises her head.
- [03:41] <[Dune]Iniuria> possibly, create a new type of rechargeable cell, for you?
- [03:43] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely, according to the technology level I have witnessed so far.
- [03:45] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes become less distant now, and she regains the will to look into Filia's eyes.
- [03:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> what if we found a place with better technology?
- [03:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> then, maybe?
- [03:45] <[Gtz]Filia> Perhaps.
- [03:46] <[Gtz]Filia> The simplest solution would be to find an inactive automaton and relinquish its fuel cell. There's no guarantee that we may find such a case, but if it were true for myself, it may be for others as well.
- [03:46] * [Dune]Iniuria , while still saddened, regains herself and gains a new resolve in her voice.
- [03:47] <[Gtz]Filia> After seventy days, I will automatically enter Safe Mo'de and sustain myself for another five years.
- [03:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, then.
- [03:49] * [Dune]Iniuria stands, and glares straight into Filia's eyes, with entirely new intensity.
- [03:49] <[Dune]Iniuria> i will try my best to save you, and to extend your life.
- [03:51] * [Gtz]Filia considers.
- [03:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. Is my current lifespan especially valuable?
- [03:53] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
- [03:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> to me, incredibly so.
- [03:54] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. Then I shall also add acquiring a future source of energy as an objective.
- [03:56] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs in relief, and hugs Filia.
