017 - [Action]

[hageshii]

[This is Goroh, nowhere near town. With the rain finally giving up and warmer weather setting in, he's decided to say "Fuck you, Luceti!" and head into the woods. By evening time, Goroh will have set up camp on the southern side of the western lake. He's got all the supplies he needs. A simple tent, cans of food, and a fire set up for him to cook over and make his tea. His journal? Back in his apartment.

Good times.]

[hageshii]

[He raises his tea again.] Not your type of beverage, is it?

[awakenedchaos]

...It isn't. [Though to be fair, she... actually never tried tea before. Water's been sufficient for her thus far.]

[hageshii]

Pity. It's supposed to be relaxing.

[awakenedchaos]

...Eh? [...Why would a beverage be relaxing?]

[hageshii]

Go on. Give it a try, yeah?

[awakenedchaos]

[Alright, fine. She's curious now. Picking up the cup of tea...

...

...Well. That... tastes alright. Not too different from water, though. Then again, Murakumo units have a weird sense of taste.]

[hageshii]

[Ah, but it's nice and warm. Goroh takes a sip, but only after breathing in the steam through his nose. It's a very important part of the experience.]

It's Nu, right? You look pretty modern to me. What year you from?

[awakenedchaos]

[Yep. That's something, at least.]

...AD 2199. [That's not exactly a secret... though it's not like anyone bothered to ask about that before, anyway.]

[hageshii]

Ah. Like Litchi, then. [No wonder Nu looked so normal. She was from the present. For the most part.]

2201, myself. Different universe, probably.

[awakenedchaos]

[Litchi... oh, her. Right.]

...Most likely. [It's definitely interesting to know that there's other people from a similar time period here in Luceti, though, different universes or not.]

[hageshii]

So you ain't exactly human, right? [This doesn't seem to bother him.] Cyborg maybe? Created in a lab? [If she's from Litchi's world, probably not an alien. Their version of Earth had apparently not progressed into interstellar travel yet.]

[awakenedchaos]

...Nu is an Anti-Sankishin core unit. [And ironically, both of Goroh's guesses are technically right, though she's not quite willing to confirm the latter.]

[hageshii]

Tsk. Scientists and their long ass names. Least they gave you a proper name too, yeah?

[awakenedchaos]

[Heh, and that's not even her full title.]

...Affirmative. [Never mind that her name technically goes hand in hand with her number...]

[hageshii]

Good to know. Scientists can be real bastards. Unless it's part of the experiment, they don't want their test subjects having anymore identity than necessary.
