So you might have noticed there's a big ol' robot parked out back of the bunker at the Cooper farm. It's large and green and looks very battered.

Approach it, and one of two things happens.

Either you came during the day, and Val Bell is sitting on its head with a good book and a bowl of apples, or you came during the evening or night and it is apparently deserted. 'Apparently' being the key word.

What'll it be?

"Communications relay is the first thing that comes to mind," he says absently, most of his attention centred on watching her work. The determination is fascinating.

"Do you think there are more settlements that could use such a thing?"

95 is very into clean. It is her sublimation of programming that was originally centered on "Destroy Apple."

"I've heard something about New York, I think. Other than that, I haven't been here long enough to know."

"Ah, is that so?"

A small sigh. "I wonder... if Japan is all right..."

"I could go have a look for you, if you want. When Dynames is working again."

...

She's not sure if she really wants to know.

Soft: "Or not. It's up to you."

"...I know it's very different here. I miss my home, but..."

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. It's not the same. I know."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, forgive me for talking about such things." SCRUBBING!

"It is very nice, living here."

"Don't worry about it."

He smiles.

"Yes, it is. I thought I'd only be staying here until my repairs were finished, but this place is starting to grow on me."

"Ah, are you normally more of a wandering type?"

Critically, she adds, "It looks like it may take some time. I do hope whatever you were going against did not follow you!"

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I used to travel a lot, yeah."

Faint smile.

"I don't think that will be a problem."

(And if it is, he'll just snipe the bastard again.)

"...I suppose so..." Whatever it was, is was big! Like, bigger-than-she-could-deal-with-using-the-bazooka big.

That's bigger than she wants to see.

"I didn't stick around long enough to know for sure, but I don't think he walked away from that fight."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She gives a satisfied nod. That's always a good feeling.

"Congratulations. I'm glad to hear it."

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you."

It's a good thing it's too dark to tell just how cold that smile really is.

Neil really, really did not like that man.

"By the way, please feel free to let me know if there is anything you need while you're here. I don't know much about large vehicles like this, but I'd be happy to help out however I can."

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Neil's smile warms up considerably.

"Everyone here is so helpful. It's-- refreshing. Thanks."

"It is a very pleasant place, yes. In some ways, it's even nicer than when I was with Master..."

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Master Toshiaki-sama. My user."

"Hmm. So you're not just named after an archaic operating system, then?"

[identity profile] 95-tan.livejournal.com 2009-02-19 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You totally just called her old, dude.

"--sorry. I'm from 2307. The first few Windows systems are a matter of history in my time. By this world's standards you're still pretty new, aren't you?"
