[ Hey everyone, it's your favorite token human. She's not donned the suit today, and that's probably because she doesn't look so good. She's been losing weight since her arrival, but now it's really showing. She appears to not have slept in a week. ]

Hey guys. Sorry for kind of going MIA I just... had some shit to take care of.

So look um. A few points of interest here. First-

Does anyone wanna hang out? I mean just like. Drop by. If that's okay. I'm free all day.

And since... until we can find Ratchet, I need someone to teach me the ropes in the whole. Medical. Field. I'm nowhere near good enough to work without supervision.

[ She rakes a few strands of hair out of her eyes.]

On a last note, I know this is a weird question but... has anyone ever fallen out of love with someone? And if so, how did you do it?

[ She's sadly used to this. She just pokes her head out of the door and then comes out to sit on her steps. ]

Hey there.

Hello.

[When she sits, he crouches. He's nowhere near as big as some of the robots here, but she's still a human being. And therefore this makes it easier to talk.]

I'm... here now.

[Yes, Kagerou, we see that. He shifts a little.] Where was it you wanted to 'hang'?

Uh... haha. I meant hang out as in like. Just. Spend some time together.

[ Gosh you're cute. ]

[He blinks.]

Oh. I thought you wanted... to hang off of something... [Maybe he didn't need to bring the chain after all.] Your way sounds better.

... are you okay?

Yeah, you do tend to take the literal approach. That's okay.

Uh. Kinda been having a rough time, but I'll get through it.

I'm trying to get better. To learn.

[He shifts again, before offering a hand. Whether to hold her up or just, you know, offering contact. It feels like he should.]

This place makes a lot of us have a 'rough time', I think.

Hey, nobody can fault you for that.

[She has no issue with crawling up into the offered hand and sitting.]

Yeah. It's not easy for anyone.

And yet they do so anyway.

[He straightens up, cupping both hands around her.]

No. It doesn't look that way. [He hesitates.] Vandal... Is living always this hard?

Well then they're buttfucks.

[ Wow. Loaded question. ]

Yes. It is. I mean, our situation particularly, but man. Living can really suck sometimes.

There are sometimes things that make it worth that suffering, though.

... Butt... fucks...?

[Wellp. There's a new word for his vocabulary.]

[He lifts her up a little, closer to his face, listening intently.]

I thought it would be different... easier than this. It always sounded like it was something better.

Like what?

Buttfucks.

Yeah. The truth is kind of ugly.

It varies. Everyone has their thing. Sometimes a hobby or a person or a particular experience.

Should I call him that?

Ugly. I don't know if that's the right word. Difficult. Disappointing... yes.

Yes... a person. A person would help. [He tilts his head.] What is it you have?

Call who what?

Yeah. All of the above.

I-

Ah.

I don't know.

Call him 'buttfuck'.

You... don't know? [And suddenly, he's determined.] We should find something.

Who's 'him'?

Ahah. It's not that easy.

Gunmax. He calls me "Shinewbie". I don't have anything to retaliate with.

[Because 'buttfuck' is totally an okay retort, right?]

Why? We could try.

Oh. Yeah, go ahead and call him a buttfuck. You gotta be absolutely confident with your delivery though. Be like. HEY BUTTFUCK. Yeah, that's right! I called you a buttfuck.

You gotta do it like that.

Ah, I guess. But that seems like a fools errand.

[He looks thoughtful for a second.]

Hey! Buttfuck! Yes, you. That is what you are!

[And then he looks down at her, a little too eagerly.]

Like that?

[Another head tilt, sobering.]

Fool's errand. Mm. Vandal... are you my friend?

Yes! That's perfect. Good job. Gold star.

[Gold clap.]

Of course I am.

Good. I'll do it then.

[PREENING. Not... literally because he's not a bird right now, but still.]

... then it isn't foolish at all.

Let me know how it goes for you.

I-

...Thank you. Kagerou.

I will. I promise.

[It's a small miracle, but... he smiles slightly.]

We can start with a hobby. Like you said. I don't have anything like that either... so... it would be best to search together, wouldn't it?

Hahaaaaaaaa awesome.

Well. Yeah. I guess it would, huh?

[O-oh now he feels like he did a good thing.]

Do... do you like to fly? They told me I should try that -- to see if that was my... hobby.

Well. Maybe you should practice.

[The only time she's flown is with Whirl and that was... not great.]

I bet Wing would help you.
