re_alignment | [Video | Prima's Temple still~]

[The video clicks on as Rung settles on the edge of his bed, looking much better than he had previously--at least more put together and collected. Without the constant ache in his head, he's been able to settle a bit more though the whole..feel of this place still isn't all that comforting. Not yet at least. ~~Doesn't help that he's been both upsetting and helping others it seems.]~~

I figured it might be wise for me to officially offer my services, so to speak, to everyone currently taking residence here since I seem to already be working myself back into the practice. As some of you know, I am a psychiatrist and, as such, am more than willing to sit down with anyone that may need it and just listen and offer advice.

[He pauses, fingers tapping against the edge of the bed as Rung glances down momentarily, considering something before he glances up once more with a faint smile.]

I suppose the first thing to establish would be a potential space I could use for such a practice, if anyone has any suggestions for that sort of thing.

It's someone who deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, essentially. I also sit with others and let them talk out their issues, etc. I'm not looking for mental disorders in everyone.

Like... a programmer? You fix broken coding in their minds?

[This is the best approximation he can come to, sadly.]

I suppose that is a valid way of looking at it, yes.

And they let a robot do that...

[He trails off. That doesn't make sense. Unless--]

... You're one of the others, aren't you? A Cybertronian?

[Looks a bit confused and slightly put off at being called a robot but he carefully schools this, nodding a bit.]

I am, yes. What are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm... AI. Placed in a prototype stealth frame.

Human beings built me.

...Interesting.

[And a bit frightening in a way.]

Ah, I'm Rung by the way.

... Interesting?

Kagerou. It's -- [Time to practice that social skill!] It's good to meet you.

Yes, interesting. I can't say that I've ever run into someone with that sort of backstory, so to speak.

[Faint smile.] It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Kagerou.

I haven't met a robot who was a ... psychiatrist... either. Does that mean we're even?

[O-oh. He brightens a bit. That was the right thing to say, after all.]

I... thank you.

[Chuckles a bit.]

I suppose it does. And you're quite welcome, Kagerou.

[All these alien robots are so polite. It's nice.]

Do yo know a lot of the others here?

There are quite a few, it seems, from the world I came from and I have been introduced to quite a few others since I arrived. And you?

That's good. It isn't an easy thing -- to be here alone.

There are some here from my world. No one that... no one I was close to.

I suppose I can relate. I was never really close with many from my world.

[There's a bit of a sad tone there, as much as he tries to hide it.]

Really?

[Oh. Oh, he knows that feeling.]

There wasn't anyone...?

I had..many associates and the like, and I suppose I had one bot that I considered a friend but we didn't see each other all that much.

And... did they come here, with you?

...No I...actually..hadn't seen him..in quite a long time.

[No one had really.]

I... I'm sorry.

[He means it, too. Since...]

I haven't seen my friend in a long time, either.

I'm sorry as well. It's never..pleasant..not seeing those you consider a friend. For extended periods especially.

[Said softly, sadly.]

No, it isn't.

I don't know what to do without him... most of the time.

...If...there is anything I can ever do...please don't hesitate to ask. I suppose, in a way, we can relate to each other so perhaps it would be easy enough for us to talk to one another if need be?

Do...?

[Maybe one day, he'll get used to people offering to help so quickly.]

Yes. I guess we can, can't we?

I wouldn't mind talking. If you don't.

I don't mind at all.

[It was what he did for a living after all.]
