[ 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. ]

	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)

	[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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-21 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ Now he looks a little worried. ] And this is your... job? Or do you do this for fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-22 12:37 am UTC (link)
	It's my job. I've pretty much been doing this all my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-22 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Wow. [ Ashton has the hilarious mental image of Hiling riding on the shoulder of a giant suit of armor when she was a tiny child. He laughs a bit and goes for the rest of his bread. ] I can't really imagine anything quite like that happening back home. You must come from a really amazing place!

	limeskittle 2012-07-22 06:34 am UTC (link)
	I suppose I do. It was a really interesting time. But your world seemed pretty interesting too, from what you've told me of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-22 06:47 am UTC (link)
	...oh, I did? Hmmmm, if we were friends, that makes sense. I wish I knew what I said so I wouldn't end up repeating myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2012-07-22 07:08 am UTC (link)
	Don't worry, I'll tell you if something sounds familiar. [Not that she minds hearing it again, but she'd rather learn something new.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-22 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	Okay! So, I guess I should—hey! [ Gyoro nudged the side of his head. Ashton turns his head. ] What is it? I... Oh, right right. [ Clearing his throat, he turns back to Hiling. ] I'm really sorry, Hiling, but maybe we can talk more later? I really should try to find our friends, if they're even here.

	limeskittle 2012-07-22 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I suppose I'll let you go, but you have to promise I'll see you again soon. [She reaches across the table to touch his arm.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
