IC INTRO - JUNE '18

After the fight with the siren has settled, those characters with phones hooked to the KEystone network will get a text -

Okay, everyone, you had better come back in. There's a storm brewing just off the coast.

Even given Up's usual professionalism, it seems rather... subdued?

----

For once, there are no androids at all to greet you upon your return, or arrival, as the case may be. A shelter has been set up for the boats on the shoreline of Glitterstone, however. By the time you tromp up the lighthouse stairs to the level of the Station itself, the sky is beginning to grey with the promised storm.

There's not the typical feast outside, but there is a fairly extensive taco bar set up in the common room, left unattended as well. The room sign-up sheet and boxes of freebies are also there, complete with the Braille versions, and a note at the bottom of both room sheets reads "If all rooms are full, space has been made in the meeting rooms on the top floor. We'll have additional rooms available as soon as possible."

It does appear that someone has updated the murder counter while you were away, however, for the turning of the week. It now reads 15 weeks without murder.

Other than that, you're free to explore, including in the newly finished sections of the Annex (should you be willing to brave the storm to get between buildings). However, wherever you go, the androids are almost conspicuously absent - even in the medical bay and Down's workstation in the command center.

The meeting room they have for their own private use is securely closed and locked.
nonono7: (has got me going so crazy)

It can still work!

[ Nono frantically grabs a nearby chair, picks up both halves of the table, and sets the broken ends on the chair's armrests. See!? Now it's--

Both halves fall forward now, since chairs are not balanced to hold up tables, which actually spills whatever remains on them onto the floor. ]
motherfucking_ghost: (you're way too sure of yourself)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-11 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's just sad, kiddo.

[Not that Church looks like he's gonna help, but hey, he's got a nappy string bean on him.]

Do we have any roombas to help clean up around here?
nonono7: (I don't know what to say)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-11 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry! I, Nono, will clean the mess I've made!

I will also find us a new table! I won't let Taco Night be ruined! [ She is suddenly fired up about this! ]
motherfucking_ghost: (hell yeah)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-11 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn right! You show that taco night who's b--is your name Nono?
nonono7: (you're such a big tease)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I- Yes?

Is there something wrong with my name?

Or do you perhaps know another Nono!?
motherfucking_ghost: (yeah I know I'm great)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
No...no. [snerk] It's just an unusual name.
nonono7: (i'm startin' to lose my mind)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
When I was found on Mars, with no memories to my name, or name to my name... Nono is the name that was given to me! It is very precious.
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, really? Man, the fuck's with amnesia, what a shitty plot device. [just lean on the 4th wall a little harder why don't ya deadpool] Did someone just like drop you off from a lab or something?

Wait--before storytime, cleaning.
nonono7: (oh oh oh oh)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hilariously, she barely cared about the amnesia though.

But she's going to snap off a salute and get to cleaning. SHE CAN TALK AND CLEAN THOUGH, as she's shoving a taco down her mouth while also pulling out a broom. ]


I was found in space, not a lab! And I was built on Earth, probably.
nonono7: (oh oh oh oh)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's right! [ SWEEP, SWEEP. Sweeps some cheese into a pile.

....Yeah that's it. He only asked that one thing. ]
motherfucking_ghost: (gesticulation)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
So you're an android! [He's kind of excited.]

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
They usually call me a robot! Is there a big difference?

Specifically though I'm a Buster Machine.

[ perhaps notably, she doesn't appear to have any metal, plastic, or artificial bits. Other than her eyes, with pupils shaped like a four pointed star, she appears totally human and fleshy. ]
motherfucking_ghost: (ain't that something)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-12 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, not big enough for me to think it's important. You look way more human than robot? Were you like...put into a human body?
nonono7: (c'mon)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-12 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, nope! This is just how I look.

Onee-sama was really impressed, too! She said she wouldn't have even been able to tell I was a robot if I hadn't survived getting shot into space.

[ Yes, that was a gratuitous Japanese "onee-sama." That's. That's what you're getting into. ]
motherfucking_ghost: (ain't that something)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-13 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[What's nice is, thanks to those nanites in his system, he actually understands the meaning of onee-sama. Sssssort of. Sister-sama? He still doesn't Get honorifics.]

Man, I sure as fuck can't do that anymore, not without my suit. You're really advanced, though, I'm impressed. Were you supposed to blend in, or did someone have a fetish?
nonono7: (you're such a big tease)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-13 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I'm not sure why I was designed this way. Most Buster Machines are piloted, and also a couple hundred meters tall?

Also, what's a "fetish"?
motherfucking_ghost: (really shouldn't add to my confusion)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-13 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Unless there's a tiny person in your head piloting you, I think you're not...one of those.

Also don't worry about it.
nonono7: (i'm startin' to lose my mind)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-13 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I am one hundred percent certain there is nobody in my head.
motherfucking_ghost: (yeah. that's right. I'm a gay robot.)

[personal profile] motherfucking_ghost 2018-06-13 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
There's at least yourself in your head. Pretty sure I know some people that don't even have that much.
nonono7: (come on princess)

[personal profile] nonono7 2018-06-13 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, yes, I am in my head, but I am not a tiny person in my head piloting me...self. Myself.
