Our avatars are in a room together

-The Reploids are bro-ing out with eachother as they head inside-

I'm gonna be a bonafide Maverick Hunter, you'll see.

I can't believe they'd let someone of your caliber in.

"And here I thought this was a shared space."

-Eires that voice is...familiar but unusually confident-

Eires whirled around in a flash, caught off-guard.

"You're not giving Eires trouble, are you Andy?"

"...Mom?"

Eires stared, shocked by the turn of events.

-Andy just...tackle hugs her-

"Aah! Heh, okay, taking that as a 'no'...how's she been, Eires? She, uh...cause any issues?"

"She's been- I don't- It's been-" Eires stuttered out, stumbling over their own words.

"Just...slow down, relax...it's me. I'm real. Not just an avatar. I'm up there, too."

-Points out a window-

Maaan, I still wish I could've fought my own virus. A real battle between men!

... Roo, I don't think you would've enjoyed that at all.

"You're back!" Eires finally managed to put together.

-Shit, Ori, something about them sure is different...-

"For...a little while...Looks like things are going well with Sandra."

...?

-mia walks out her room, sorta hearing the sounds of ori-

-Roo and Flame head upstairs-

Everything feels clearer, y'know? Like I didn't notice the weight that was on me all along.

That's understandable. You probably had that virus dormant on you for so long...

-Roo and Flame might actually run into Ovi on their way up-

-Mia...that's really her!-

"I-!" Eires started, looking embarrassed.

They recovered the fumble with as much grace add they could muster.

"Heh, yeah. It has been." They managed to get out, shuffling awkwardly and scratching the side of their neck.

Uh, Flame? Is that girl new around here?

Perhaps. You did spend quite a lot of time outside the past few days. Perhaps you just missed her.

Oh, yeah, I guess.

... O—Ori?...

-slowly approaches oriana... then full on tackle hugs her-

ORI!!!

"And what're you two yammering abou-hello, robots."

"That's good to hea-aah!"

-Sudden Mia!-

-Andy still hasn't let go-

Reploid! We're reploids! Y'know, a step above robots! Duh.

Roo, don't be so rude to someone you don't know!

Excuse my friend here. He's a bit... immature.

"Reploids, huh? ...Go on..."

Well, we can think and feel and learn just like humans can. That way, we can adapt to any situation given to us!

We're actually just like people, except made out of metal, you see.

Eires let the excitement settle down just a little.

"It's been something, yeah. We're getting everything in place, and..well, you noticed."

"...Sorry for running off."

"Hmm...any chance of letting an inquisitive young mind look at some blueprints? For science?"

Eires shook their head.

"Don't....yeah, don't worry about it."

"...So I ask again, she wasn't a problem, was she?"

"Mom, I'm...right here, you're embarrassing me..."
