Kitchen (Number 108, "Aichi")

-108 watches Pan make the tea while listening to Xenos explain how to make it.-

"Understood. Thank you."

-You can tell he actually means it!-

-Although...-

"...The tea is not for me. It is for you."

-He wants Pan to have it.-

-Then he looks back at Xenos.-

-...Is 108 happy?-

-...-

-...Yeah, he is, he thinks. He's feeling that good feeling that he was told meant he was happy.-

-He is happy that Xenos and Pan are teaching him things.-

"I am happy."

-...Oh, OK. He's happy, apparently.-

-'He will get there eventually'...-

-...Get to what? Being a human?-

-He is making progress then? That feeling in him just increased a bit!-

-It's... strange... he's never really had that feeling be so... prominent.-

-108 attempts to smile. You're supposed to smile when you are happy, after all.-

-Once again it's hollow-seeming, but at the same time there... might be a little bit of actual emotion there?-

-It's like he's sort of starting to get in touch with what it means to be 'happy'.-

-The strength of this happy feeling is enough to bring some life to his smile, even if he doesn't understand it.-

-...And heck, the smile's lasting longer than the previous times too!-

"I will continue to work hard."

The fact that you have to work hard to be human's kind of sad.

It shows how incredibly sheltered you are.

How artificially you were made, 108.

You have to work to be the thing that most people do, as easy as breathing.

-It spreads up his forearm towards his shoulder-

-He can move and flex it just fine, but it seems his flesh powers aren't able to affect his semi-petrified limb-

Turn him back. Turn him back or you'll know what it's like, forever!


-Sandra hefts up the portal gun-

Better idea.

-She shoots a portal down to one of the maintenance platforms, then a connected one at their level-

Whappo-bappo, we're in business.

108, sometimes I don't even think about what I'm saying.

I just say it, and speak my mind.

No quality control, because where I'm going the brakes don't work, and the road is iced to hell.

And yeah- I've met a lot of humans in my time. Hardly any of them are at the same level as you are.

"You're welcome."

-...-

-...-

-...Maybe he should make some tea as well... to test that new knowledge.-

-He gets straight to that, doing everything they told him and did.-

-So people say things without even thinking?-

-108 can't imagine doing that... He was always supposed to be clear and precise.-

-...And most people aren't on the same level as him...?-

"What does that mean? What level am I?"

-He's trying to make sure he understands.-

You're at the level where you still act like there's a tiny person piloting your head.

They're inexperienced.

There's a big Learner Plate in the back of their control room.

And they're still awkward.

-He acts like there is a tiny person piloting him...?-

-...How would someone like that act? He's having a very hard time getting a mental image of that...-

-...'Awkward'... 'Causing difficulty; hard to do or deal with' or 'causing or feeling embarrassment or inconvenience'...-

"...Does this mean I am awkward?"

-...Hey, does the idea of that almost sort of kind of seem to be bothering him? It's subtle, but his tone has something in it.-

"...How do I become less awkward?"

??? (Survivor Aichi)

-Aichi wakes up rather slowly.-

-...When did he...?-

-He tries so hard to stay awake, it's hard to imagine that he would just suddenly fall asleep...-

-He actually feels like he had a pretty good sleep, too. Far better than usual...-

-He doesn't tend to rest, but for some reason or another he feels well-rested.-

-Aichi's still in that fog of sleepiness.-

-He feels really comfortable...-

-...He... hasn't really felt this comfortable in a long time, so he's actually very reluctant to get up.-

-However, as he begins waking up more, he realizes that he is not in his room.-

-Upon realizing that he quickly sits up and starts looking around in something of a small panic.-

...O-ohhh, uhhhhm... M-maybe just some water, but— but I will be very much fine otherwise, and... uhhhm... thank y—...?

(Peers up at Ori's approach.)


Sandra and Eires

(OH YEA)

(Now, NOW you are doing the thing in which you consider other things with portals in mind!)

(how far will you DESCEND...?!)


Gracia and Midna

Ghh—... Phhhheh. You damned, disgustingly clever kine.

(Lowers his head, sulking.)

I already gave those bones of his to my alternate self-slash-lover, who is a dog—... It's— it's actually a very dignified arrangement, I assure you—... Anyway! My girlfriend has probably eaten most of them by now, but— Just— cease this wonderful mannequinizing-thing I had no idea you could do and am dying to know more about because mama mia, that's— WOW... and, I will call off the body and permit you two to return to the rest of the building and will instruct the other Claudie to ignore you... and your blobbous friend. Is this acceptable, signorine?

-It's not a science, and he has to figure it out himself...-

"...Understood..."

-...-

-OK, it seems the guy has no idea how much milk and sugar to put in that tea, and is just pour as much tea as possible into the cup with the tea, and then piling spoonfuls of sugar into it.-

-...-

-...Yeah, that's a mess.-

-However, he apparently does have the common sense to grab a washcloth and wipe that off after making sure the jam-packed tea is mixed together.-

-He looks over at Pan after grabbing that tea he was making...-

"I want to drink my tea."

-He takes a sip.-

-...-

-...-

-...It is sweet.-

"I do not like it."

-Perhaps that is because HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING WHEN IT COMES TO ADDING THINGS TO TEA-

   "Oh, and make sure those other two get out safe, too. Or I get a bigger wolf and they get to see how this 'body' tastes...and don't tell anyone I asked you for this. Can't have anyone thinking I care..."   

-Ori looks at Panos-

"...What happened to you? Who are you? Answer those in any order."

-Aichi's head pops out of...Laura's jacket pocket-

-He's a few feet (from his perspective) under the collar of her jacket-

"Oh hey, you woke up. Jeez, you were out like a light, feeling better?"

"...Whoa."

Eires tested the portal, sticking a hand through carefully, before quickly hopping through to the other side, and repeating the test a few times.

"...No matter what, we're hanging on to this thing."

That's because making tea is an art, and you just threw a paint-bucket at a wall.

You might want less sugar with your tea.
