I'm bored. How eager are you to drop everything you're doing and entertain me with your "friendship"?

[dreamofrain]

[ one would think most people would probably blow azula off or comment in some way on how rude or weird a question that was.

well. 6O was not most people. ]

I'm currently tilling the plots for my garden, bit that can obviously wait, if you need me! What's up?

[unstable]

My need is not urgent, although if you wish to be at my side for every whim I'm not going to tell you no.

I would like to get more familiar with the technology of this world. I thought you could assist me.

[dreamofrain]

I'm not sure I'd word it that way, the whole 'be at your side for every whim' thing, but I do want to help! Really, anything you need, I'll do my best to aid with!

So what's your query?

[unstable]

I thought it better if we met in person so you could show me how to better use this device, for example.

[dreamofrain]

No problem! Did you have somewhere specific you'd like to meet? I could come to you! Alternatively, I have a place closer to the center of the city now, that's near the source of the green, or so they call it. You'll see a garden and that's for sure my place!

[unstable]

Just give me the coordinates. I'll come to you.

[dreamofrain]

I don't have access to global positioning on this planet, so that's not exactly possible BUT I can give as close an aproximation as possible!

[ and she does. it's a building closer to the center of the city, not really near the rest of the apartments. there's also a note of warning to "stay away from any vines" ]

[ Azula doesn't bother responding, an almost ridiculous disdain for the technology she's had to grow accustomed to. As thrilling as it was to reach out and bother whoever she wanted on a whim, she'd always prefer to torture face-to-face. Besides, she was genuinely curious to learn more about 6O so going out of her way to seek her company wasn't beneath her. This time.

She isn't too far off from where she's sent, making sure to avoid any flora she wasn't familiar with. So, all of it. The note to "stay away from vines" was taken to heart, she had already done the stupid Erku can't control me nonsense that she wasn't going to take any chances. The princess finally slows to a stop, setting her hand on her hip as she squints to look for her robot friend-- maybe she should have asked what exactly she should have been looking for. ]

[dreamofrain]

[ Thankfully she wouldn't be waiting long. A building that seemed to just drink in the available sunlight wasn't far from where Azula had wondered toward, a large plot of land beside it that had been plowed and planned out, ready for cultivation.

6O herself emerged from the house, still dressed in her YoRHa uniform (she had no reason not to wear it, after all), but with a sunhat on for... aesthetic reasons? It clashed completely in terms of aesthetic. She carried with her a watering pale, and happily went about using it on the soon-to-be garden, singing a formless song to herself as she did so. ]

[unstable]

[ 6O certainly wasn't what she expected.

She didn't know what it was she expected, but not... this. It makes a little more sense why the Augur would pull a robot in for eros energy if the robot looked.... ???? She really was supposed to be some sort of machine? She needed to set the video option to default so she never relied on the ease of text again, constantly unprepared for every interaction she's had so far. Although she should have been ready for everything with 6O to be different, no comparison to what she was in her own world. An oddity that actually excited her, a tiny thrill in a so far dismal stay. ]

What is it you are growing here?

[ She interrupts after a while, admittedly feeling a bit creepy for having watched her for so long. ]

[pawper]

hey
do you want some fresh baked bread?
i made extra!

[She doesn't think about what a stupid question that is, how 6O's probably never had any kind of bread before. She's too busy hoping that the offer is a good enough of an excuse for her to come over and visit.]

[dreamofrain]

I'D LOVE SOME!

[pawper]

oh, good!
is it okay if i come over?
fresh bread is even better when it's still warm, and all.....

[dreamofrain]

Sure! I just need to get everything cleaned up from tending to the garden, today, but I'm definitely free for company!

[pawper]

a garden?
how'd you fit a garden into that tiny office space?

[She missed that episode of House Hunters feat. Summer]

[dreamofrain]

Oh my gosh I forgot to tell you!

I'm living closer to the center of the city now, where the plant life first showed up! It's a place Summer picked out for me, and it's way bigger than the office!

I've got a garden here, too! It started with the herbs you gave me, but I've also planted dhalias, sunflowers, pansies, roses, and I'm gonna try to plant lunar tears, but I hear those are really hard to grow.

Oh! And strawberries, too!

[pawper]

oh, wow
that's great to hear!
i only saw a little of your old place, when you made that video call, but it seemed way too small for you
so i'm glad you've found somewhere better to live!
and that you've met summer, too
she's a really good person

[Coming from Lys, who believes the best of everyone right up until a certain point, that's not exactly a high bar to clear....but she's speaking the pure, paint-stripped truth in this case.]

i can't wait to see everything!

[dreamofrain]

I can't want to show you everything!

[pawper]

you said you're living near the center of the city, right
any other directions i should keep in mind?

[dreamofrain]

[ better yet, how about precise coordinates, accompanied by step-by-step directions from most of the city's major entry points and landmarks? just. all sent at once. ]

Does this help?

Action-ish

[spacedisaster]

[ As soon as 6O steps outside her home in the morning, she will find a present on her doorstep: a planter of red, yellow, and purple roses. There's also a card next to them.]

A little present for your garden. I hope you enjoy them.
P.S.: careful with the thorns.

-P.Q.

[dreamofrain]

[ They'll be displayed near the rest of her flowers, though left in their planter, set on a little iron bench she'd found elsewhere. ]

[spacedisaster]

[ Sweeet. He'll be very happy to know she likes them. ]

[Catch-all for sappy messages like these, which Lys will send often (at least once a day) and apropos of nothing. Because she's obnoxious like that.]
