fourth operation ✗ 004; mood {aka a whole bunch of backdating}

[longevity]

[ A; Mayfield High; After school {Backdated to the 20th- Open to All} ]

[ They halls may be quiet, they might be whirring with the sounds of other teenage prisoners and drones bustling throughout the halls but coming from one the classrooms you hear: ]

Beginning the operation!

[ If you follow the sound of this one girl's voice, it will lead you to one classroom where Fran has made the teacher's desk belonging to a drone her own personal slab. She may not have her extra limbs with her it's not matter now, Fran is more than capable of opening this student drone's rib cage.

Requests for cosmetic enhancement are not foreign to the young scientist. But today she felt irritated, so much so it became distracting. Sucking the fat out with a dust buster became tiring. Ohh-- is this thing getting clogged already? This is beginning to be annoying! ]

[ B; 1671 Nelson Street; Night {Backdated to the 21st; Outside- Open to All} ]

[ Fran has a good head on her shoulders. Now that head is now sitting on top of a pillow on a lounge chair in front of the house. Try not to trip over the wires, her "body" is fixing tea. ]

Comments

[longevity]

[ Ah~ how she missed those times when her little kangarats escaped from their cages and chewed her wires off. The thought just makes her feel nostalgic. ]

Maybe some other time. In the meanwhile, is there something I can help you with?

[originalnumber]

"Aah, not really. I was merely saying 'hello'; are you busy?"

[longevity]

I'm taking a short break actually. I have tea on the kettle if you would like some.

[originalnumber]

Blank...

"Ah- Tea?" ...He's never had tea. "That would be wonderful."

[longevity]

Alright. [ And just on cue, her body comes outside with two cups of black tea. Her right arm extends a tea cup over to Astral. ]

You might want to blow on it a couple of times so you won't burn your mouth.

[originalnumber]

"Aah." Chuuma will sit on his shoulder for now... And as recommended, a few light blows before sip-

"..!" Okay maybe a bit more blowing.

[longevity]

Give it a several minutes and it should cool down. I can grab an ice cube if you'd like.

[originalnumber]

He shakes his head. "I'll be fine. I can wait." Anyways.

"How have you been?"

[longevity]

Quite well considering there hasn't been a major incident in the past few weeks. [ Body bending over to serve herself. ] You wouldn't happen to notice anything odd lately, have you?

[originalnumber]

Hmmmm.... Looking up in thought a moment...

"No... Nothing so far that seems widescale. One person was droned briefly, but that seems to be about all. I have a feeling we should expect something in the near future if there has been a lul of activity however." He'll try and sip the tea now. Oh- just right~

[longevity]

Perhaps it is just me... [ She takes another sip. Maybe the hostile environment this week is just a result of people going mad with anxiety. ]

You know, I don't think I never heard your story. Where you come from at least. There are so many different kinds of life-forms living in this town, it's difficult to keep up.

I might canon update after the coming event actually. I THINK HE DIED. D:

[originalnumber]

"Aah. It could also be that I have not been in the same areas as what has occurred; for the most part, I have been practicing various uses of my skills in observation at the park..." Lots of drawing Fran; perhaps he could do some sketches of your work?

And oh. Stories. He takes a sip of his tea, thinking for a moment. "Mn... Truthfully, there is not much of my origin that I am able to recall; in my world, there are at least three separate planes of reality; Earth, and two known as the 'Barrier Realm' and the 'Astral Realm'. The latter is where I originate from, but I cannot recall how, or even what my purpose in arriving on Earth was..."

"As it is, I did not have a physical form on the Earthen plane; it could be compared to a 'ghost' I suppose; entirely non-corporal and invisible to almost everyone. Those who could see me were additionally the only ones who could hear my voice. It was somewhat lonely."

oh noes :(

[longevity]

So you're not aware of how you came to Earth- standing on an Earthen plane at least. [ She's read theories on such a concept existing but it was just all smoke and mirrors: lots of speculation but no evidence. ] Your behavior is similar as any other human here. Or did Mayfield re-program all of your attributes as an organism from the Astral Realm?

On a completely different note, I'm apping 'Fi' next month. :D

[originalnumber]

"Aah. Essentially." Beat.

"Oh- During the time I spent in my world's human realm, I observed what I could. Various behaviors and patterns such as eating, sleeping... However, it appears that you are correct to guess that Mayfield has done something to my physical being- as far as I am able to tell, my entire inner structure has been made 'human'."

Never heard of the character before. Same fandom?

[longevity]

So you did have a completely different organ system? [ Ohoho now we're getting somewhere! ]

Nope! Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. ...She's the sword. :U

[originalnumber]

"I'm not even sure I had organs at all. I am fairly certain that I was a construct of energy."

Ohh cool! I need to play that game at some point.

[longevity]

Taking an entire mass of energy and turn it into a solid organism just like that...

It's good~ <3 I got it near the release date so it came with a soundtrack. ;u;

[originalnumber]

"Aah. It's quite a feat, I'm certain."

[longevity]

Looks like you won't be the only one doing observations around here. There's just so much I still don't know about yet.

[originalnumber]

A nod. "Indeed... Have you had much luck in that regard?"

[longevity]

I have yet to even scratch the surface. And that is just with the non-drones alone. [ She sighs. ] I'm going to need a lot more data.

[originalnumber]

"Aaah... I'm having a similar issue with observations; on the surface, there is nothing to be seen. But I'm certain there is something else that I'm missing..."

[longevity]

You did say that you are looking at certain activities in the park, correct? Maybe you should try involving yourself more. There's so much more you miss out when you are just looking from afar.

oh look reasoning for the coming plot... :U

[originalnumber]

Hnnn... "Aah. Perhaps you have a point... I should at least make a better attempt to socialize..."

aww yeaah quasi-foreshadowing

[longevity]

It wouldn't hurt to try. [ Taking one last gulp of her tea. ]
