[Just voice, because as weird as it was, it was still kind of disappointing. But, Duo knew that people knew the other him, so he felt he had to say something. After all, if there was one thing that hadn't changed from one version to another was that they were both still pretty social guys.]

So uh, yeah. Um. If anyone's looking for the other me, he's not around. I think we lost him in all the moving and stuff. Or something. But, yeah.

Sorry.

[He was so awkward about this stuff. He would just be over here trying to pretend he didn't just make the worst sounding announcement ever.]

	[Richie recognizes Duo's voice, but he hadn't spent that much time around his double. Still, the tone makes him worried.] You okay, man? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Huh? Oh. Yeah. 'm fine. [Sort of.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Richie's still kind of concerned since losing friends sucks.] You busy today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-01 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Not really. [He wasn't feeling up to doing much, really. In fact, he was debating dumping the whole basketball teams thing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure you don't want to hang for a few hours? I picked up some movies and it's always more fun to watch with someone else than doing it alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-03 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... we could do that. [He wasn't adverse to the idea, he just was feeling really blah. Sitting and staring at a movie for a while wouldn't be bad. And he could stuff his face with some popcorn or something in the process.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-03 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Cool. Want to swing by my place or I can bring the movies and the goods over to yours? [You sound like you could use the distraction buddy, so Richie is more than willing to provide it. He's been in that position himself before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-04 01:48 am UTC (link)
	Either one. [He was a pretty laid back guy about that stuff to begin with, and his mild bout of lazy depression wasn't making it any easier to make a decision.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-06 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Uh...then how about your place? [To save him time of having to clean up all the spare parts and tools he's got around his house.] I hope you've got a big screen TV. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He gave a weak chuckle.] Yeah. It's big enough.

[Though, as far as cleanliness, Duo's place wasn't much better at the moment. He had some remnants of little tinkering projects laying around the place, some of which he had abandoned after Kohran had disappeared.

There was a black Haro, oddly enough, that he'd gotten back in the old dome from Feldt and that Lacus later helped him program rolling around the room as well.]

	Give me directions and I'll be there is a hot second. [He's already planning to bring some of the cheesiest action films from the 80s for them to watch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-06 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'm over in sector 3 in the Tier... third floor. Number 18. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-06 03:07 am UTC (link)
	Sweet. See ya there. [He cuts the connection and grabs the movies, candy and some popcorn before heading over. He knocks on the door and hopes he didn't take too long. He's rather Duo not start stewing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He opened the door, having had Haro help him pick up a few things so there was at least some safe floor space to walk on and some seating, but the clutter was still there. Duo was clearly a tinkerer.]

Hey.

[The basketball sized Haro rolled off into a corner. It didn't go out as much as Frederick did, but Duo kept it pretty busy helping him with little projects here and there, and it was also programmed with the same simpler AI that Pink was programmed with.]

Don't mind him. C'mon in.

	[Richie grins and steps into the apartment, taking a quick look around. He can't help but laugh.] You know I could have sworn I was coming to your house, but it feels like I'm back home already. [Then he holds up the bag with all the goods he brought.] As long as we've got a couch and a TV, we're good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-06 03:59 am UTC (link)
	That I've got... and a kitchen with a microwave and a fridge, which works for this, too. [His place was still stocked, after all. It wasn't like he'd been sulking for a week or more.] I've got some chips and soda and stuff, too, if you want to supplement anything. You, too! You, too! [The Haro chimed in.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-07 01:22 am UTC (link)
	[Richie brings up a palm to smack his forehead.] Drinks! I knew I had forgotten something. Good lookin', bro. [He looks down at the little chiming ball and laughs.] I've seen a couple of those around. Haro, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-07 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Drinks it is then. [He went to get them both something.] Yeah. He's a Haro. Feldt got him together for me, but she was fone before he was completely done. I've been tweaking him since. Especially now that he's been programmed. [He opened the fridge.] So whaddya want? I got soda, water, iced tea... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-07 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	Man, those Haro are pretty cool. Moderate AI, cute little robotic pets. Can't go wrong. You could mass produce them and every kid in the world would want one. [And then he shrugs.] Soda's good for me though, now where do you want me to set all of this down at? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. There are little ones, too. Wish I had one back home to help with repairs and stuff.

[He grabbed the soda and two glasses.]

I got bowls in that cabinet by the sink there. We can use those for the snacks and stuff.

[Kitchen table was messy with some tools and a sketch of a bicycle. It looked steam powered. But there was counter space and the table wasn't beyond usable.]

Wouldn't everyone? [Richie himself already has Backpack, but he could definitely see the use in the Haros...if only they were a little less cute.]

Bowls would be awesome. We don't have to eat from the bags like heathens unless there's someone around to complain about it. [He laughs and sets the bag he brought down before heading for the cabinet to get them. If Duo told where they were, he assumes it means he's been given leave to grab them himself. He sets them on the table, taking a little peek at the sketch and pauses for a minute. It's not intentional, but he sees the bike and already his mind is going in different directions on how steam or some other form of propulsion would work and how to make the frame steady, but aerodynamic...

Duo might need to snap him out of his own mind.]

	[Duo just chuckled a bit at the idea of everyone having Haros and put the soda away. He turned to check the snacks, glasses in hand, and noticed Richie staring at the sketch on the table.] Pretty cool, huh? Kohran and I were working on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-07-22 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Huh? [His head jerks up a bit, almost as if he had forgotten Duo was even in the room before his brain got back on track.] Oh, yeah, really? Kohran had some awesome ideas. I wish we had gotten to do more with some of them. [He kind of misses her. And Komui. And all of the friends he's lost.] What were you two planning to do with it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-23 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	We hadn't decided, yet. Just fooling around, really. We probably would have handed it over to PM or something to replace the pedal-power one Kohran first made for her. This would have made it even easier to do mail rounds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-07 10:28 am UTC (link)
	[Sounds like a cool idea to Richie.] If we could make a couple, speed bike racing would be an awesome sport. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
