[ 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. ]

	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)

	[ 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)

	[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)

	[ 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)

	[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)

	There are more than one of these? Wow... [ Munch munch munch. ] ...was there something wrong with the other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	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)

	[ 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)

	These robots are pretty good at baking. Much better than I amn (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-19 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Is that all they do? Cook and move around the prison like guards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-19 03:53 am UTC (link)
	They do maintenance stuff too. I don't really pay much attention to them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-19 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	You must be used to them, too. I'm not. Precis made a few, smaller things just like them but I never understood how they worked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-19 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	Robots are common on my world. The ones I remember were mostly anti-personnel and then there were the giant ones we would pilot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-19 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	Ohh, that would expl— [ Hang on. ] Giant ones? H-how big? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks up at the ceiling and holds her hand up high.] About as tall as this building. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-19 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Ashton leans back in the seat to look up, recalling how tall the building was on the outside. He makes a nervous sort of sound as he turns a little paler. The dragons don't seem too bothered. ] I... I see... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-20 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Just imagine several of those fighting each other and that's pretty much what I did. [She still thinks of it fondly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-20 12:58 am UTC (link)
	You mean you.. and others...? [ Ashton sinks down into his chair a bit. ] That sounds scary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-20 01:42 am UTC (link)
	It was actually quite exciting. Dangerous, but fun. [She eyes him as she drinks her water.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-21 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Did you build them, too? I have some friends who are younger than you who are into that sort of stuff. [ A nervous chuckle. ] It sounds like I'd just get sick trying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-21 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	No, I'm just the pilot. We have people to build them for us. I actually have several since they have a tendency to end up in pretty bad shape after a battle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
