Hey, any chance you happen to see one of those repair gun thingies?

[a2brutus]

No.

Is there something I should know about?

[ryuji]

I swear to god I didn't break anything

[a2brutus]

Uhhuh. Sure.

What's up, then?

[ryuji]

It's for a side quest

There's something stuck in something and I'm hopin' to loosen it up a little bit

[Loosen something up by putting glue on it. Okay, Ryuji.]

[a2brutus]

A side quest huh.

How would using one of those goop guns loosen anything up? Why don't I just come over there and pull it out for you, actually.

[ryuji]

The sidiest of quests, yo

Uh... well, the thing is that it's kinda...

Lodged?

Into the toilet. So brute forcing it might end up flooding everything and that's REALLY EFFIN GROSS

[ryuji]

[One could say that a few days after the sleep deprivation kicks the bucket that yes, yes Ryuji was back on his bullshit again. He's practicing his aiming skills, fearful that his ability to shoot shadows down would slowly dwindle away like a muscle left inattentively without flexing. And here he is, dodging hallways, doing sick side rolls, trying his best to work out those sharpshooter skills.

Fwing~

One nerf dart lands exactly where he had planned to. Which is. #blessed, of course.

He turns the corner, imagining a shadow just around the bend and pulls the trigger.

The second nerf dart lands somewhere he had never planned it to. Which is, #cursed, of course. Right onto A2's ass.

Oh.

My god.

He turns his body back around the corner, eyes wide as he tries to stop any vital signs from making himself all too obvious.]

[a2brutus]

[A2 is minding her own business. She's always minding her own business as she walks around because she's just not about getting into trouble!

Unfortunately, trouble finds her. Trouble named Ryuji Sakamoto, in the form of a nerf dart right on her metal ass. A2 stops in her tracks, and very slowly turns to pull the dart off her with a light popping noise. She takes two seconds to inspect it, look down the hallway where it came from, and then A2, scowling, walks like a determined serial killer in a horror movie right towards Ryuji's poor choice of hiding spot.]

[ryuji]

[Alexa, play the Jaws theme.

Ryuji hears the popping noise of a dart firmly coming off of chrome ass, and he's already regretting everything in his life that had led up to this specific moment in time. He can almost make out the heavy footed stepping towards him, so he'll just... keep walking around the circular path of the deck. Keep going.

Freddy's after you, child.

He breathes through his nose. Oh god.

TIME TO GET OUT OF DODGE.]

[a2brutus]

[Unfortunately for Ryuji, serial killers always catch up with their victims.

A2 claps a hand down on his shoulder, holding him in place firmly.]

Hang on there, I think you dropped something.

[She produces the neon orange dart with her other hand, and just gives him the worlds most withering look.]

[ryuji]

[He straight up yelps.

Ryuji is hard to get the surprise on, he literally has a skill called adverse resolve that makes him stronger when he's thrown down a surprise attack, but here he is, completely caught off guard, even though he shouldn't be.

And prematurely, his finger on the trigger of the nerf gun quibbles a little bit and shoots a dart down at the floor.]

Uh. I. Dunno what you're talking about.

[Don't look at the dart, don't look at the dart, don't look at the dart.]

[a2brutus]

Really. Because for some reason, that dart on the floor sure matches the one in my hand, doesn't it.

[She has not let go of him.]

[nishizono]

[ so apparently he's arrived on board the terminal while some weird plague is going on. sure, okay. tetora can manage. time to contact every single person on his deck, why the hell not. ]

hey, room 528. you alive in there? i have a question.

un A2

[a2brutus]

If it's "Are You Sick", then no. I'm not.

[nishizono]

the question's actually if you have any drugs on you, but good to know.

i was starting to wonder if everyone else on this floor is sick.

[a2brutus]

I don't, but even if I did they wouldn't help you.

I'm an android, not a human.

[nishizono]

i met a sick "android". can you get sick?

do you know where the drugs are?

[a2brutus]

We catch virus' and you'd know it. As far as I'm aware, there's at least three different types of android on this station. Which one did you meet?

Honestly just ask the network at large. They'd be more than happy to help. I've got no clue.

[theoceanbetween]

[Happy September, A2! You've got mail.]

A2, can you read this? I don't know where I am right now.

Did something happen?

[Aqua is groggy and very confused right now, mostly about how she got here and why.

She also has no clue how to get out of these pods.]

[a2brutus]

Holy shit you're awake finally?

Hang on. I'm coming to get you. Stay put.

[theoceanbetween]

Finally? What do you mean?

I don't know how to get out anyway. It seems to be some sort of machine.

[Aqua has just enough arm room to type and not much more than that, otherwise she would've video called! Technically audio is an option too, but she sounds like she's in a fish bowl and it's weird. :(

She keeps typing as if A2 will read her responses too.]

[a2brutus]

[Unfortunately for Aqua, all of her next sent messages are ignored, because A2 is! Booking it to the cryopods! Because WHAT THE HELL.

She'll appear outside of them in a few minutes, and press a few buttons that! Should result in the cryopod opening the hell up.]

What the hell happened? You literally walked down here and put yourself in this thing and you've been asleep since!

[theoceanbetween]

[Wow, just leave a girl hanging why don't you!

Aqua watches A2 sleepily through the glass when the android appears, and the cryopod eventually opens with a hiss. And yet, she doesn't make an immediate move to climb out of it. She does stretch her arms, however.

Stiff...]

I...don't know? I don't remember anything. How long have I been asleep?

[She vaguely remembers arguing on the network, but other than that?]

[a2brutus]

A month! What the hell!?

[A2, is obviously upset about this entire situation here, but she's still offering her hand to help Aqua get out of the pod.]
