[ Voice | Open ] Day 175
[ What comes on over the audio is nothing but noise at first. Someone or something is grappling with the communicator. Fingernails perhaps? There is also the incoherent shouting of a male voice that might be familiar to some, but with the way the audio receptors are being abused, it will be hard to make out many words at all. ]

—sto——reaking i——ut it out!

[ Most rustling and... was that a growl? Maybe the rush of air. ] —ere! Thank you. I think I can work this by myself.

[ The young man sighs, and there is one final bit of noise as he slip the device on over an ear. ] Okay. Is it on? I think it's on. This looks different.

[ He clears his throat and takes a deep breath. His attempt is to sound braver than he feels and certainly less seasick than he should be. ] Excuse me! Whoever can hear me, I'm... I'm looking for some friends! They're very important to me, so if there is anywhere I can ask about them, can you please point me the way? I think I saw a map? Maybe if I—

[ Click.

No, Ashton. That was not the right button. Way to fail. ]

	Well in that case we should go somewhere else. [The other restaurant isn't far. This time, she takes a look at the menu.] How about this one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. [ He'd much rather avoid the dry-heaving thanks. Now this place? This place is interesting. "Fusion", huh? He looks at the menu, too. ] This sounds...! Sound— I don't recognize half of these. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-13 12:08 am UTC (link)
	What do you think? Want to try something new? [It looks good to Hiling. She's curious about all the different menu items. There was nothing like this in the previous dome.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I want to stay with something familiar. [ A weak smile. ] I think I've had enough surprises for one day. It's starting to make me unsteady. [ And once a robot approaches to take their order, Ashton just... sort of freezes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hm, I know. Follow me. [She takes his arm and pulls him along towards the gate to Sector 2. There's a different sort of selection there, so maybe he would find something he liked. Once they get there, she stands back to let him look around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He doesn't get the chance to ask about the robot, but he is now are of the others as they go about their business, casting them curious glances as they pass by. ]

Wow, I bet Precis would want to get a good look at these...

[ When they stop, the dragons raise up and point their heads to the side. ] Hm? What is i—? [ Sniffing the air, Ashton's eyes go wide. ] ...whatever that is, that smells good! [ That would be the fresh bread from the bakery just a few doors down. His feet are already moving on their own to draw him closer. ]

	Oh, I was hoping you'd say that. [Hiling smells it too and approves of his selection, following him toward the bakery. After all this effort looking for food, she's ready to eat. The bakery would be a nice little place for them to chat and enjoy something tasty.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-15 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	It looks like they'll want something, too. [ By the way they are nuzzling the back of his head; their way of "shoving" him toward their destination. Ashton enters the shop after holding the door for Hiling (still the gentleman!) and he points out a big fresh round loaf right away. ] Oh, that looks good! Is there water here, too? [ His needs are simple. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-15 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles in appreciation as he holds the door open for her. Immediately, she goes over to the window to see what all they have. She can hardly decide, they all look so good.] Water? I guess so. So what are you thinking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-16 05:33 am UTC (link)
	[ Ashton's stomach roars. The dragons actually give him an odd look. ] ...ah, I guess that's all I'm thinking for now. Sorry. [ He pats his pockets... and then realizes he has none. ] Um. How do we pay for all this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-16 06:17 am UTC (link)
	I'll have two of those. [She points at the chocolate pastries, unable to resist the lure of sweets. Not even waiting to sit down, she starts eating. The pastry makes for quite the distraction. She then pauses for a moment to tilt her head at him.] Oh, what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-16 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	Fol. Don't we need fol for this? [ Ashton looks at her nervously as she begins to eat. Though she does so with such lack of hesitation that he wonders why he was worried in the first place. ] ...I guess if it's a prison we don't have money, huh? [ Looking around. ] Still, these are some nice shops. [ Headscratch. ] This is such a weird place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-16 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not. Everyone just takes what they want. [She holds a piece out for him.] It's good. Try some. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-16 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ Scratching his head. ] Huh. I guess that works? [ He takes one of the loaves, breaks off two chunks and holds them up one either side for the dragons to chew off what they want. ] Oh! Um... Could you put it on my plate? I'll get to it in a second! [ Hands full and all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-16 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	[Hiling does so and goes to find somewhere to sit. They should probably do that. She smiles, watching the dragons eat the bread.] There's so much to do here. I think it will keep me entertained for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-17 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	[ He picks his plate off of the display and then follows her to a table. Once he's seated, he gives her a curious look. ] Entertainment? ... you sound like you just got here, too, but before you made it sound like you've been here a long time. [ So which is it?? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-17 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	[She makes an attempt to speak, but her mouth is full, so she finishes what she's eating before trying again.] We used to be in a different dome. They just moved us recently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 01:29 am UTC (link)
	There are more than one of these? Wow... [ Munch munch munch. ] ...was there something wrong with the other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-18 03:20 am UTC (link)
	It's complicated. Nothing you need to worry about. This one's much better. [She nods and finishes off her pastries and licks her fingers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 04:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Okay. [ It's kind of an unsatisfying answer. ] You've got a point. I need to concentrate on how I'm going to find my friends, if they're here and then what we're going to do about being here in the first place. [ More thoughtful chewing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-18 04:35 am UTC (link)
	You've got to have some fun too. Don't stress yourself out. [She heads back to the counter to get some water for both of them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 06:32 am UTC (link)
	[ Shaking his head. ] I don't think that's going to be an option. Not until I've done all I can! [ or gets distracted. He turns in the chair, peering out from behind Gyoro's neck. ] Aren't you worried? About being in a prison, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-18 12:48 pm UTC (link)
	[She gives him a pout as she sets the glass of water in front of him and then shrugs.] I was, but after a while I got used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Got used to it".... huh. [ Ashton slides the glass closer to himself, but doesn't take a drink yet. ] Thank you. [ Oh. He should try that chocolate bit she gave him, right? Ashton does so, nodding. ] ...oh, you were right. It's tasty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
