[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.]

	Maybe he just moved? [Not that she's really buying into that herself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-01 03:22 am UTC (link)
	I dunno. I'd like to think he thought of that, but I couldn't find him on the network, either. [Duo was pretty good at tracing people unless they were super hackers, which, knowing himself, he wasn't. Good, but not really the best.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You tried a few times right? The guy could just be in the shower or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-06 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. [Come on now. He was smarter than that! He almost sounded a little insulted and maybe a bit pouty at the idea that he might not have done a thorough check. Though, part of him knew she was just double-checking for her own sense of closure and satisfaction, his emotional side was a little put out at what she was (likely unintentionally) implying.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So what does that mean? He's back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-07 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. No one really knows for sure outside what the wardens want us to believe. Back in the old dome, there was a building that people would be put in. They were basically comatose. Something about a conflict or glitch in the dimensional stabilizer. People tend to believe what they want anyway. Like someone went home instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Wait, what? Seriously? How do you know that? Do we have a building like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I dunno if there's one here. I haven't seen anything that would specifically qualify, yet, though there is that weird building the kiosk is attached to. [It made him think of an ATM.] I mean, the bots go in there and stuff, which is kind of similar to the old dome. But, without actually getting in there, we can't really say for sure.

But, we did get into the other one in the old dome. There was kind of a coup with one Warden going against the other Warden, and this whole big thing where inmates were recruited and we saw lots of stuff in the backend.

	...How did you get into the one at the old dome then? [She's hoping it wasn't all this rogue Warden's doing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-15 03:10 am UTC (link)
	With help from Sentience. Unfortunately, without a Warden, we couldn't do it. [He sounded pretty disappointed in that fact, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2013-07-21 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Are you sure about that? Did you ever try? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not by myself. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone has.

[He considered it for a moment.]

We could try the one here.

[He was up for a challenge if she was.]

It would take some time to plan it all out... but, maybe in a week or so, once we've got an idea on how we want to approach it. Yanno... study it for a bit first. Watch the bots going in and out. Check how integrated the kiosk is into the wall outside... Typical recon stuff.

	We've got time. I say what are we waiting for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-28 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? You wanna give it a shot? [Though, he wasn't really up to trying at this exact moment, but he wouldn't mind in a few days or so.] You got anything for us to defend ourselves with? We'll need to get ready. [He might be pretty reckless at times, but he knew better than to go half-cocked... especially if this one was going to be anything like the last one.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of got my bow and arrows. [Not her set from home, but she has a magician and she's always made her own arrows. It wasn't like there was a superhero outlet store.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-07-29 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Not sure how well they'd do against robots... unless you've got special ones? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2013-07-31 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Why would I make unspecial arrows? And what about you? What are you bringing to the table? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	devine_braid 2013-08-01 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno. I didn't know you were makin'em, and I dunno what kinda materials you got. [He shrugged. No biggie.] As for me, I don't have any weapons at the moment, but I do have some other skills that are pretty useful for breaking and entering. [GRIN] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh huh. I told you mine, so out with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whaddya wanna know specifically? The sneaking around part, the breaking in part, or the getting out part? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2013-08-10 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not very specific.

[He smirked at her.]

Alright. Well, let's put it this way. You gotta do a few things to survive when you're dumped on the streets as a kid with only yourself to take care of you. I wouldn't have gotten this far if I didn't know how to get into and out of places.

I've done everything from regular old lock picking to fancy electronic alarms. Plus, I've learned to hide stuff so I can get out later if I get caught. I've never stayed anywhere I didn't want to be longer than 18 hours, and that was only 'cuz I got knocked out.

Good answer?

	[Sad story, but she's got one too. Who doesn't? Still, at least she had her family, most of the time such as they could be. She nods.] These alarms are going to be as fancy as they come. And in case you missed it, you've been here more than 18 hours. [Defiant, but she does want this. She just wants it to have a shot.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ private ] devine_braid 2013-08-19 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Things are different here. Back home, it's 18 hours. Like you said, the alarms and locks are gonna be fancy. This place is completely unlike anywhere else I've ever been. I need time to figure it all out. That's why I'm going to need some time to look at that building, figure out the bots going in and out, and see what's going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
