ACTION: Maurtia Falls
[Bad enough he wake up surrounded by soldiers again. Bad enough he wake up in a body that isn't his own, missing memories. No one shot at him this time, but it's a small comfort. Very small. As the soldiers are quick to deposit him in a big city.]

[And... surround him with people. Too many people. Way, way too many people.]

[He's not completely comfortable with this strange body yet, so when the young man with mismatched eyes -- one red, one green -- goes sprinting away from the porter, he ends up stumbling a few times. Once he even falls flat on his face.]

[If anyone's around to offer assistance, he just stares wildly at them, startled, awkward.]

[If they don't persist, he takes off running again, somewhere, anywhere away from all these people. Maybe if he runs far enough, Shadowmaru will return and make this nightmare end. He'd been trying to do the right thing -- he'd made a promise, he intended to keep it. Why is he being punished like this?]

[He'll eventually, if un-accosted, seek shelter in a park. Probably under a tree.]




AUDIO;
[Later on, after settling somewhat into realizing this won't change any time soon -- that he really is stuck here, Kagerou sets about poking at his comm device. He doesn't activate the video feed -- no, he's not comfortable with that yet. He just wants to figure out what's happening here.]

[He's almost talking to himself as he speaks.]


I don't understand this...

[That's all there is for a few moments. As if he's trying to determine the right thing to say.]

Why me? I'm nothing like a... like a "Hero". I've never helped a human being. And why should I? None of you have ever done anything for me.

Why should I be a "hero"?

Why should I do anything for human beings?

Whoever decided this -- whoever brought me to this place. You shouldn't have.

[He ends the call abruptly, right there.]

[ Ohhhh. ]

An AI, then. There are surprisingly quite a few individuals like you here. I'm not sure if you would find comfort in that or not, but at least you're not alone.

You just got here. I bet you don't know anyone!

[personal profile] flowerette 2016-02-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I'm aware of? But I'll admit, I haven't spoken to a lot of them. That can be a question you put out on the network, though.

What are Brave Police? Is it an organization?

Well, you're not exactly a ray of sunshine! Haha...

[This is where Cindy would give an awkward arm punch.]

[ That's a curious and interesting turn of phrase. It implies this AI may be of the criminal sort. Raina's eyes light up to showcase her renewed interest. ]

Is it your intent to avoid them completely?
lunaraneae: (the Jesus of this world would just say)

[personal profile] lunaraneae 2016-02-25 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You're also pretty literal.

Did you ever consider that you could be more than one thing?
lunaraneae: (That's the Pokemon game I want)

[personal profile] lunaraneae 2016-02-27 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's easy. Uh, for example... I'm a superhero, but I'm also a big sister. And kind of a nerd?

[Cindy, you know the entire PokeRap, you are definitely a nerd.]

It means it's all the same either way!

What I want to say is, since we're both new here I'd like to try being your friend.
skybluecape: (002)

[personal profile] skybluecape 2016-02-27 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Because I'd like to!

If "friend" is jumping the gun for you, then -- I'd like to get to know you, so we can start to try being friends!
skybluecape: (013)

[personal profile] skybluecape 2016-02-27 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that why I'd want to?

I don't know who you are, but I'm mighty curious! I wouldn't feel that way about people I already know.
skybluecape: (002)

[personal profile] skybluecape 2016-02-27 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
Who's to say?

I think you're very interesting.
skybluecape: (014)

[personal profile] skybluecape 2016-02-27 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're playing hard to get.
skybluecape: (002)

[personal profile] skybluecape 2016-02-27 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
It means what it means!

Look, mister, you started off asking a bunch of questions. Questions are interesting! People who want to know things -- they're interesting. And I want to know, too!
