[ Roxana is walking at a leisurely state. It's obvious she's thinking and walking at the same time. She slows when she sees 9S, wherever he is. ]

Did today make you understand humans more or less?

[bestaround]

[ He's on his way out of the meeting hall! ]

—Huh?

[ Oh. Hi. ]

... I don't think what happened was the fault of any human here.

[disingenuous]

It wasn't, but it became a bit dramatic at the end. Are you used to things like this?

[ she doesn't know how dramatic the nier universe is. ]

[bestaround]

... Yeah. With machines and androids, but that doesn't make it any different.

[disingenuous]

No, I suppose machines and androids aren't different from anyone else or any of the other people here.

[ all the ffxivs who aren't human are just as emotional and etc. as anyone else. ]

Will you tell what kind of conflicts you have with machines?

[bestaround]

[ She can't see his sidelong glance, but it's there. ]

If you want. [ He's the last person to blame someone for being nosy. ] We've been at war with them for a long time now.

[disingenuous]

[ She can't see it, but she doesn't need to see it. ]

You don't have to tell me anything you're not comfortable with sharing. I simply wanted to get to know you more.

We can choose another topic.

[bestaround]

[ It's hard to be uncomfortable with something that's just been a fact of life as you've always known it, but he doesn't say so aloud. ]

It doesn't make for pleasant conversation, really. That's all.

[disingenuous]

It's all right. I doubt anything you can tell me will make me feel unpleasant.

[ She sounds very assured in that. It's not like she expects him to drop his most devastating details when they don't know each other well. ]

w2; thursday

[bestaround]

[ If Roxana's looking for 9S, she'll eventually find her luck on the way to the meeting hall—more precisely, the long bridge leading to it.

9S leans up against the railing, gaze fixated at the river below. ]

[disingenuous]

[ reading 9S on a bridge gives me depression

DID HE GET HIS ARM FIXED OR ANYTHING ELSE FIXED....do the med pods work on robots... help.... what is his status? Roxana is looking.

She walks up to him, her expression concerned. ]

Are you all right to be out here, 9S?

[bestaround]

[ uh... good question but it's fine he is not going to the medbay. ]

If you're worried about anyone, I doubt it should be me.

[disingenuous]

[ if he didn't get healed WHAT IS HIS STATE.... GIVE ME HIS VISIBLE INJURIES ANAIS :/ ]

Why would you say that?

[bestaround]

[ ara didn't read my cyoa return comment... :/

jk. He looks mmmmostly physically fine? There's random scrapes on his face and legs where his uniform doesn't cover him, and a sleeve covers his arm, which got the worst of it. It's a little bendy. ]

The others got it worse.

[disingenuous]

[ look... some people just do an at first glance injury list, not what you can see at closer inspection.... ]

That does not mean you don't deserve concern.

[bestaround]

[ I'M KIDDING ARA!!!! ilu ok. ]

...

[ He exhales sharply, looking back out. ]

I don't think so, no.

[disingenuous]

And I am concerned. I am, of course, worried about your physical wellbeing, but I think.... whatever happened affected you more than your arm.

[ He ran away as fast as he could. ]

week 7, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ buddy, you're alive again and you didn't have to get your memories rewritten for it, wowee.

She's walking around with boba whenever she comes across 9S. ]

Mission accomplished, do you think?

[bestaround]

[ one day I'll learn to pay attention to plurk. anyway, punches you. not roxana, ara. ]

Not yet—not until we know we're done for sure.

[disingenuous]

[ i am just a small lad who's canon familiar, wow!

She takes a sip of her drink. ]

That's a realistic way of looking at it.

[ It's not chastising. It's how she usually views things, so she doesn't think he's wrong. ]

But it's leaning towards it more than not.

[bestaround]

That's the general feeling, huh? I mean, I hope that's true, because I'm getting tired of this place.

[disingenuous]

I'm sick and tired of this place, too. I'm ready to leave it behind.

Are you going back to your war, 9S?

[ if everything works out and goes as planned. ]

[bestaround]

[ hmm... ]

I don't plan to, but I guess we'll see what happens.

[disingenuous]

Did someone offer you a new home?

[bestaround]

Ugh. It's complicated.
