Day 363 - Open
[VIDEO]

[The image is shaky at first, but then a black-haired girl appears with her head turned around. She seems to be following someone else's instructions and talking to someone off-camera.

--Like this? So I just start talking and people will see Kaya? Mmm, okay!

[She faces forward now, her cheeks a bit pink and her big eyes filled with insecurity.]

Hi there? My name is Kaya, and I just got here, and I don't really understand this place or what we're supposed to do here and... [Deep breath.] Sorry, sorry, I got carried away and talked too fast.

I got confused and thought I had died, and this was the afterlife. But Zeno here told me it's not? Is that right? Are we all really alive?

Um, also... I was really sick, back at home. I should be dying from my disease, but now I'm feeling fine. That's why I thought I was... So, uh, what I wanted to ask is, where can I find a doctor? I want to know if I'm truly cured, because I don't want anyone to catch it from me. I need to be sure. But don't worry, I'll go far away from you guys if I...

I'm doing it again, sorry. I just want to know.

[Yup, she's more worried about getting people sick than being suddenly locked up in a strange place.]

[ACTION]

[This cute girl walks around the trees in Sector 3's residential area. She sits on a bench and stares at the ocean sky above it all. The lack of stars in the sky is strange, but she finds the water fascinating and soothing. She doesn't wander around, as the place is much wider than everything she's seen in her short life. Any house around her is several times large than her old house. Are those castles? To her, they are. Everything in that land is vast, just like the sea. Just like the street goes on and on.

Her eyes are a bit red and her sweet smile is sad, but she'll be fine.]

[Her violet eyes look concerned already as she turns on the feed. She already recognizes Zeno's name from their conversation, but her main thoughts are on the woman's illness and the way she thought she'd died. After all, some of the people here have been very close to that. Herself included even if it was not an illness of any kind.]

Hello, Kaya. I'm Euphie. I'd like to help if I can.

	[The girl is so startled by the vision of another person she jumps in surprise and gasps. These strange artifacts are something incredible!] O-oh! Hi, Euphie! Nice to meet you. [She bows her head a little. What a pretty girl!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. [She smiles gently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She shakes her head.] I'm just not used to these... things. I just got explained on how to use it. I'll get used to it soon! Or so I hope! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-17 03:04 am UTC (link)
	It's okay. Take your time. I can help you. I also wanted to let you know about the hospital and the clinic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-17 03:29 am UTC (link)
	You're really nice. [She smiles.] But yeah, it's probably better to see a doctor soon! I can't take my time on that. If I'm still sick, I'm a danger to other people if I stay outside like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-17 03:33 am UTC (link)
	There's a hospital run by the robots in sector 5. There's also an inmate-run clinic in sector 3. I think the wardens would have wanted to keep you and everyone else safe though. I do hope that means you've been cured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-17 03:35 am UTC (link)
	Ah, thank you so much! [...] ...What are Sectors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-17 03:38 am UTC (link)
	[There's a gentle smile.] The prison is divided into sectors 0 through 6. Most of the time you can't tell that you're passing from one to another, but if you're in sector 0 you can see the gateways to each one. Press the button on your communicator twice. You'll be able to pull up a map. It will show you where you are now and where everything else is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Thank you so much! I've never seen a map, so I hope I can understand it. Hold on a second. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[When she returns to the feed, her smile is shaky.]

Ah, I'm so, so sorry to bother you again, Euphie. I found the map and I found myself, but everything has these letters and symbols and um...

[Kaya blushes, embarrassed.] I-I can't read, you see. And I don't know if Zeno can, I've never asked him. So if it's not too much trouble, could you please show me what symbols I have to look for?

	friendly_fire 2016-02-18 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure. What language are you speaking? You'll see the symbols that match that. Mine are in Britannian. [So mostly English.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

...Oh, I see. [So people spoke different languages but for some reason you heard your own. That was strange, but she wasn't surprised. It seemed everything was possible in that place.] I speak Koukan. [No idea what's supposed to look like. Her country is ambiguously ancient Asian so it might be Korean, might be Chinese, might be Japanese, might be something else... But she definitely wouldn't recognize something English-based.]

Well, thank you very much! We'll try to find the way to one of those hospitals somehow! Maybe Zeno can at least read numbers and see what's the Sector we're in. Or he can ask for directions. You've given us a clue and that's good enough anyway!

	I'm sorry. I don't know it. I could come find you and walk you there. [Maybe she should be concerned about getting sick herself, but she isn't.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's fine! I don't know your language either, so we're in the same place.

[She really doesn't want to risk to infect such a kind, beautiful girl. Kaya would never forgive herself.]

No, it's alright! Thank you so very much! But we don't know in what sector I am either, and you may catch my disease if I still have it. My husband should be on his way back, and just risking him is bad enough.

[She blushes.]

...And that person when I got here said one of my crimes was against health or something.

	friendly_fire 2016-02-20 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I'm sorry it listed that as a crime for you. It doesn't sound fair at all. [She looks thoughtful, wanting to be able to do more to help.] Maybe you could flip your communicator visor around so I can see what's around you. Then I could maybe tell where you are and better direct you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-21 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't think much about it back then. I thought this was the afterlife and was just judging the stuff I did in life. Oh, sure! Hold on, please. [She does as she's told. Euphie may see the willows and the cherry trees, and the tall residential buildings of The Tier.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[What a sad thought!]

Ah, yes, you're in sector three now. Those buildings are apartments. If you head toward them and keep walking in that direction I believe you'd eventually get to the hospital in sector 5. [As long as you didn't have to change course too much because of buildings and lose your direction.] But the Clinic would be easier. It's in your sector in the other direction.

	As in houses? I thought they were castle towers! Oh, okay! Thank you so much for the directions! Which one to take, though... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-22 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Yes, something like houses. You'll be able to choose one of those or one of the ones in sectors 2 or 4 for your own. [She looks thoughtful.] Would you rather be treated by a fellow inmate or a robot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-22 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	But they seem so pretty and fancy! How could I accept? We can just stay in a small place; just space for two futons and a stove and a couple of crates is fine. ...I'm not sure what's the difference. Robots are the metal people, right? Is the examination different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think they have anything to offer that's so small. Though there are one-bedroom options. [But it will still have at least a living room, kitchen, and bathroom if not more.]

The robots aren't really people. Not these. [She wouldn't say the same of Aigis of course!] It's just whatever you're comfortable with I think. [She knows many people don't trust them.] The robots have more advanced technology but no personal touch.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-22 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Ah... [Oh, she'll have a blast discovering bathrooms and kitchens.] Maybe Zeno wants a bigger house. I can settle anywhere, but I'm used to tiny places. They... don't touch people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-23 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	You could always get more roommates to make it feel cozier. [These are hard things for a princess of the Britannian empire to understand, but she's trying. It's not that she's ever needed so much as she's had, but doesn't balk at it either.] I'm sure they do when appropriate for administering medication or checking vital signs.

	fadingsunshine 2016-02-25 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	[She seems to like the idea.] That would actually be fun! Like friends or family staying over every night. Then why do you say it lacks human touch? [She still doesn't quite get it, having it take it literally.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
