[ she's out on the flight deck, enjoying the nice weather. she's so pale the sun would do her some wonders if she doesn't burn. ]

You're not exactly human, right, Boothill?

[ she gestures to his obviously metallic body. ]

[shirtbag]

[ roxana your beautiful paper skin... ]

Oh, we're way past "exactly human," ma'am. You're lookin' at a bona-fide cyborg.

[disingenuous]

[ it's fine. all the clothes she wars covers most her skin anyway. ]

A cyborg isn't something I have much experience with. There was an android that I met... but I think he was a little different?

[shirtbag]

Think so? Tell me 'bout him.

[disingenuous]

For one, he wasn't so obviously... metallic. If you didn't know any better, he could be mistaken as a human. He was a bit boyish.

[shirtbag]

Looked totally normal? Shoot. I'd like to take a gander his tech. Maintenance must be a breeze.

What was the kid's name?

[disingenuous]

He wore a blindfold and shorts all the time. That was less than normal. He was called 9S.

[shirtbag]

[ ghe baby

also shorts are not so much weirder than a cyborg in a cowboy hat, a mega cropped jacket, and pants with the sides cut out. ]

Blindfold? What for? He got sensitive neurocircuitry or somethin'?

[disingenuous]

[ roxana thinks 9s' outfit is better than boothill's, but she has no reason to say that right now. ]

I don't know the details. All he said to me was that he could see fine with it and that it didn't hinder him.

[ the way anais' 9s explained what it was to another character of mine but not roxana. ]

[shirtbag]

[ you are so right ma'am. also help me ]

Interestin'. Ain't like I can ask him, but oh well.

You a flesh-n-blood human then, Miss Roxana?

[disingenuous]

He might have explained it to someone else, but no one else from my game is here.

[ too bad. thinks about how 9s and boothill cr has a 50/50 shot to go either way. ]

If I said I was a vampire, would you believe me?

[shirtbag]

[ pauses... he looks at her, holds his chin, sets his other hand on his hip, and compares her to astarion. ]

You wanna show me your teeth for a sec'?

[disingenuous]

What if I could retract my fangs?

[shirtbag]

[ hmmmm ]

Well, ya do have red eyes and pretty pale skin like Astarion. By looks alone, I'd say it's possible, yeah.

[disingenuous]

Is Astarion a vampire you know? I wear a lot of dark clothing, too. Red is also a flattering color on me.

[shirtbag]

Almost sounds like you want me thinkin' you're a vampire.

[disingenuous]

I wouldn't make such obvious statements if I were trying to convince you past a certain point.

I'm human.

[shirtbag]

I'll take ya at your word, unless them words on your profile mean somethin'.

[ he hasn't forgotten! ]

Y'got weaponry, arson... How'd you end up bein' the "best in the worst ways?"

[disingenuous]

They're as true as anything else you think is true on anyone else's profile. Likewise, do you understand everything written on your profile?

[shirtbag]

To be honest, I ain't given my own profile much thought.

[ he pulls it up... and furrows his brow. ]

...Guess I don't. What's a "twink"?

[ same question as cw: emeto ]
