Chapter 16 - We Are Ready To Walk Again
[Action A - 458 Stone Street, Morning]
[This morning's mail had a package in it for Dakki, and she greeted it with the usual enthusiasm that she greeted packages addressed to her.]
I've got something! It's here! I've got something!
[...which is to bring it to the kitchen table, tear off the packaging, and prepare to share it with everyone. Out comes a compressed blue item cube, that then immediately blips away in a flash of blue nano transformer light. And in the next instant there's a visor-like set of goggles upon Dakki's face.]
Oh!
[It's a bit disorienting at first. It's her own pair of goggles from home, but they're still configured for her previous audio and visual sensors. So there's some rapid blinking of her remaining active eye, and a hand comes up to start making some adjustments.]
Well there's something I didn't know I missed until it was gone....
[Action B - Neutron Diner, Lunchtime]
[Why not do something a bit different today? Rather than just fixing herself a sandwich at home, Dakki took it upon herself to have lunch out instead. Just a simple cheeseburger and fries, with a chocolate milkshake to drink... But it felt like a treat. Even if the most she could taste from the food was salty and greasy, the milkshake had a flavor profile more suited for her CAST senses. Sweet, creamy, a sense of vanilla, a sense of chocolate... She seems a bit lost in her own thoughts as she eats, but if she spies anyone that she recognizes? She'll be perking up and waving them over.]
Ah! Hello! Come on over, why don't you have a seat?
[Action C - 458 Stone Street, Afternoon/Early Evening]
[The "novelty" of wearing Mayfield clothing again is starting to wear off, and Dakki would much prefer to have her armor back on... if it weren't so dinged up and scorched and filthy. So that was this afternoon's project. Her armor was laid out in pieces on the front porch, and she was meticulously scrubbing out the dirt and buffing out scratches by hand. Every so often she stops and frowns and looks discouraged, but it's not long before she's back at it again.
Although there are also occasional periods of staring off into nothing and scrubbing very, very slowly. This is a CAST with a lot of things to process, it seems.]

[The answer makes Dakki lift her head higher, looking faintly concerned.] Oh. That one. I'm glad to see you made it back alright.

... Ya know what I'm talkin' about, right?
no subject
Could you describe it, maybe?

But the happiness doesn't last. What she's describing isn't that great.]
So... the code that runs this place is breaking down? Oh...
no subject
Yeah, looks like it. And so's the guy behind it all.

[She blinks. She blinks again. There's a long silence to accompany the mildly alarmed expression on her face.]
...I think that explains a lot of things.

[You lost Clover.]
no subject
It seems that he might have once been human, but he's put himself into whatever hardware is running Mayfield. It's not a good place for a human mind to be. If he wasn't already... badly misguided before going that far, he would definitely be that way after too long... tied to something like this.
"He's Mayfield". Whatever happens to this place, whatever we do, whatever we reject or accept.... and... I think he wants us to accept it... well, it's accepting or rejecting him?
no subject
Yeah... I guess I was kinda afraid ya were gonna say that.
... Hey. D'ya know a "Lucille", by any chance?

I mean, sure, he's gone nuts, but it probably means somethin'.
