[ So the feed fizzles a bit, but much much less than the last time, before Shepard appears on screen, rather bereaved. She's in some sort of living quarters, having actually taken off the armor and life support, now only in her grays and undershirt. It wasn't like there was much else she had to choose from. Clearing some hair from her face, somewhat balancing the disheveled state she's in. ]

Wouldn't be anyone here with something....like a fan, or a watch. An old school watch, that ticks.

I guess I'm used to having constant noise while I sleep, so the dead quiet's....well.

[ It's pretty obvious she hasn't slept soundly since she's arrived. ]

Any help would be great. I'll make it up to you.

[Hello Shepard, the feed opens up to the medical bay--not that you've seen that place just yet (or he hopes not). But have a robot waving from the other side.]

Sleep troubles, huh.

I've got a partner with a similar problem.

[ It looks like one too. Who're you? ]

Here and there.

Being on a ship most of your life makes sleeping without the engine in your ears a little difficult. Any pointers?

Ahhh I get it. You've got to have one of those constant noises to lull you to sleep.

Not a bad tactic! Seems weird without it.

I've got a lot of video clips stored in my databanks. Let me see if I've got dull-engine-hum for you.

...Name's Rewind by the way. Can't say I've seen you around.

Sort of. Not unless you can simulate artificial gravity too.

I would owe you one.

Shepard. I've only just got here a while ago. Nice to meet you.

Tell you what, attend one of my movie nights and we'll call it even.

Ah..that'd explain it.

I was kind of MIA for awhile.

Movie nights?

What movies are we talking about?

I see. Yeah, it wasn't too long ago. After the whole Tarn business.

Yep! I edit and clip em myself. Usually they're about us Cybertronians and our past. Documentaries...but I did get this boxed set of movies on my bed side...

You ever heard of Sharkanado?

No, but it sounds like it'd be notoriously bad.

I didn't think I'd find anyone much for movies, I gotta say, I'm surprised.

What, just cause we're on a different planet Well, same for me, just different furniture that we can't have movie nights?

I'll get you a front row seat and everything. Sharkanado, be there.

Not what I meant, more or less I...didn't know movies would be a thing for giant robots.

Okay, okay. I'll definitely be there.

[It's probably quite clear from the dark rings under his eyes he's had the same problem.]

You too, huh?

Probably not much help as of right now but I've been told you can find all sorts in the junk pile. [He frowns and taps the device a few times and... oh, look. Co-ordinates! Even if you already knew where it was, have them anyway]

No doubt you'll be able to find some sort of noise-maker there.

[ The coordinates pop up on the Omni-tool, and she shakes her head. ]

No doubt, I'm sure, but I'm not making it much of anywhere without a decent hour or so.

I was planning to go for a look anyway, so I can keep an eye out for something if you want.

[Mmmm give me all the fetch questsss]

Edited 2013-09-13 15:08 (UTC)

[ Aw, fetch quests? She loves those too, though... ]

If it's not too much trouble. I'm sure my sanity would thank you.

I'll find some way to make it up to you, really. I really need the sleep.

I understand; insomnia has been a good friend of mine for several years.

[And by 'good friend' he means MASSIVE FUCKING ANNOYANCE]

I'll be sure to tell you as soon as I find something.

Insomnia's not a friend, but it likes to visit. And that's with the engine noises.

[ She shrugs. ]

I appreciate it.

Kay sleeps with me.

Maybe that would help another human being. Sleeping near one of us.

If you tend to buzz and whirr all hours of the day, I'm not throwing the suggestion out.

[ It did seem eerie, the thought of it. But still, at this point it'd been a long time without rest for her. ]

I have to keep my engine running, so my AI stays functional.

[Which sort of means "yes". In Kagerou speak.]

I wouldn't want to put Kay out of a sleeping buddy, though...

[ Or bother Kay at all really, she'd been so nice to her. ]

[dshfsjkddsf he didn't mean -- he barely knows this human. He was just trying to help like a good police officer.]

[Help where is Kay or PJ or someone who knows how to social.]

Then you should find another.

[ Ah, she didn't think so. Oh well. ]

Probably. Or a fan. I'm sure an old fan, an old space heater...

Anything old and noisy would probably be fine.

[ Darned futuristic streamlined stuff these days, you young whippersnappers. :T ]

There is always the junk pile.

... Kay found a microwave there.

[TRYING TO HELP...]

Microwaves, haven't seen one of those in years either.

I'll see what I can find, after I'm not falling asleep standing up. A microwave might be a little...bit of a challenge to run, but if she found one of those...well, there's gotta be something there.

[ She appreciates it Kagerou. She really does. With a yawn, she does. ]

Why not?

... I'm not sure if she made it run or not. You would have to ask her.

Outdated where I'm from.

I'll see to it that I do. I can't really imagine what else might be up there.

Is it really all useless stuff that falls out of that hole into here, or...?

Outdated?

Sometimes useful things are there. Sometimes not. There is no pattern.

Mmhmm. No one uses them anymore.

[ She nods in understanding. Sounds pretty neat. She's not MacGuyver, but she likes to pretend sometimes. ]

Why not?

The silence is pretty hard to get used to isn't it?

I can find you a fan if you want Ms. Shepard. I've also got a stereo and some music too, though I'm not sure how you feel about classical.

It's deafening.

Not a big fan of classical. But if you do have a fan or something to spare, kid, I would be sure to make it up to you.

And just Shepard is fine.

[ Miss Shepard is my mother. ]

The silence can be unbearable. Never thought I would miss the sounds of wild animals at night.

There is bound to be some device that makes some noise either in the Junk Pile or the Hub.

I'll have to look after I've gotten a little more shut eye; was looking more for a quicker fix.

Wild animals? I'm used to engine's thrumming. Where exactly did you come from?

Understandable.

I am from a world called Endiness. Compared to most here, it is not very advanced as far as technology goes.

Some of them aren't.

I know some colonies that hurt for a lot. Not nearly as much as here though.

I am not so sure if it is hunting rather than scavenging here.

I have a kitchen clock, does that help? [Time ago a hardware store appeared and Blurr ~~hoarded~~ saved a few things.]

[ BLURR TO HER RESCUE. ]

That.

Might actually be perfect. Given it's loud.

[/CUE WESTERN MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND...not really.]

I thought it _{was a watch first} but no, it's a human sized clock. You can have^{it if} you want, madam.

I'm Blurr, nice to meet you.

Blurr. Just call me Shepard.

[ Ugh, she's so happy she could cry. ]

That would be wonderful. You have no idea. Where should I find you?

That I will do then, Shepard. I don't _{think we} talked before.[Then again, he's been death for a week and busy like hell before that.]

[Aww, Blurr's glad he could help.]

I'm at Vector's temple right now BUT I can get to yours quite fast if you don't feel ^like traveling. I know that _{it can} be a long distance for a human if you are in a different temple.
