Um… the hesitation could be taken as implied – he approached directly, knocked on the door and everything. “Hello? I was told there was an inventor somewhere around here.”
[ 🕒 ] — The whirr and buzz of machinery (progress!) rang through the door of her Beta abode, though at the sound of someone a-knock-knock-knocking, the inventor herself would answer the call.
“An inventor, huh? Well, you’ve come to the right place! What can I do you for, young man?”
((Part 1 of 20? Must be the abridged version))
[ 🕒 ] — did i mention that humans and dinosaurs co-existed? they’re vulnerable to lightning!
Just so you know, talking sentient frogs aren't a common thing in my universe. But that's not against science in yours, right? Things are different, sometimes.
[ 🕒 ] — “Oh, that’s not a naturally occurring event. As far as I know, it was a single instance: a magical curse from the Fiendlord Magus inflicted upon Glenn in 590 A.D.!”
“See? It’s perfectly logical!”
psihomerun:
“How d’ya know that science works th’ same way wherever they’re from? Like, Wally’s got pocket monsters, Ninten’s got psychics… n’ these guys have snadgers, y’know?“
[ 🕒 ] — “Well, I... I don’t know what some of these things are, but there have to be some fundamental laws of the universe, or else I’m going to be out of a job!”
“Besides. This thing is clearly faked.” It is, after all, a badger head stuck onto a taxidermied snake.
[ 🕒 ] — “I understand that we’re from different worlds and all, but some of these exhibits are just unscientific!”
“A snake and a badger just won’t make a snadger. I’m not a biologist, but even I know that!”

“Well, in brief.. My name’s Doraemon! I’m a super-sized, gizmo-ized, gadget cat from the future! I have a 4th-D pocket full of gadgets, like the Take-Copter!”
He reached into his pocket, only to be greeted with hands full of nothing.
“What the heck? Am i to work for my gadgetry back? Well, at least i have my super-strength at quarter-potency. Anyways, i heard you’re great with science and technology, and i was wondering if you could help me fix my memory… There’s this kid i think i know, but whenever i try to remember him, i can’t think of his name, or say it…”
[ 🕒 ] — That was quite the marvelous claim he made, but he didn’t have much to show for it. He might’ve been new if he didn’t have his belongings; it was the same case when she first arrived.
Great with science and technology? “Well, you’re right about that! I’ll have your problem solved before you know it!” She may have been in the middle of some studying, but she couldn’t resist the opportunity to demonstrate her skills! Not to mention that super strength might be useful in the labs... But listen to her! She’s getting ahead of herself.
Lucca turned her chair to face the strange, earless cat, and leaned in to get a closer look at him. “If this is about memories, it’s likely an interior problem. You don’t mind if I take a look?”
Mikoto was holding a paper airplane that he had acquired a few blocks back. Some child had made it and tossed it haphazardly in the air, almost poking the redhead’s eye out. That would have been detrimental to his well-being and overall good looks. Fortunately, Mikoto had snatched it out of the air before it hit his face and did any damage, glowering at said child before stomping away angrily.
“Man, what a pain in the ass. At least, back at home, I didn’t almost get hit by paper airplanes. I could’ve just played my otome games in peace, but noooo. Here I am.”
He was debating whether or not to throw the damned thing away since he looked rather foolish carrying around something that was too immature for a charming man such as he. Letting out a loud sigh, he chucked the airplane into the nearest trash can, but sadly miscalculated. The airplane flew beyond the trash can and hit the nearest person, leading Mikoto to run after the airplane, an apology on the tip of his tongue.
[ 🕒 ] — With her homemade helmet and large-framed glasses, Lucca was virtually invincible against any paper plane -- not that she came out today expecting to get attacked. A slight bump on the back of her head alerted her to the presence of others, and Lucca looked down and around until she found the plane on the ground.
“Hello, what’s this?” She squatted down to pick up the paper, unfolding it to see some... what were these, some squiggles? She was so caught up in inspecting the paper, that she almost didn’t notice the boy running toward her. “Pardon me, is this yours?”
Upon realizing that he’d managed to catch the stranger’s attention, the android offered a little wave in response. He was smiling, and as the other stooped down low enough to get a better look at his makeshift-castle, a small laugh escaped him.
“Tools? Uh…” Oh, boy. You know, he didn’t really have any tools–unless his hands and water counted. Did those count as tools? Probably not.
“Nothing much! Other than… uh, hands! And stuff. I guess I don’t have anything real special to make this with…” Kaito admitted, looking over the castle a couple times. Well, hey, at least it didn’t look too bad, right?
[ 🕒 ] — “Hmm...” She idly listened to the blue-haired boy as she took a clump of wet sand from the ground, feeling it and squeezing it to measure its properties. It didn’t seem to be any different from regular sand, aside from its unusual hue. The same rules of building probably applied, so she wouldn’t stand for a so-so sand castle, not when a world of possibilities laid before them!
“This is okay, but you could do a lot better! You need a shovel, a bucket, carving tools... the works! And what’s more, you need a solid plan: if you can envision it, then we can build it!”
“I’ll help you out too, so what do you say?” Might be a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Was she… getting worked up? Had his words… affected her like that? He hadn’t thought too much of them…
{ … } ~ “ … I’m glad to hear it. ”
{ … } ~ “ … Lucca… then, it’s nice to meet you, Lucca. I’ve never… heard of Hive City Academy… but I hope it’s working for you. ”
… What was that question? What did he… want to do?
{ … } ~ “ … Before anything… I want to get out of here. I have friends… who are likely worried about me… and an island home I need to see again. ”
… Of course, he couldn’t fight his way out of this situation. He’d wait it out… he’d sure things would work out. … At the very least, he needed a better weapon than a BB Gun.
{ … } ~ “ … For now… perhaps you could show me… some of the areas in this place? The map was…. rather minimalistic. after all. ”
[ 🕒 ] — For as much as she wanted to keep a positive attitude, to make the most out of her surroundings, it was necessary to acknowledge that -- no, it should’ve been expected -- not everyone wanted to stay for long. Wouldn’t her own friends start to worry about her? Couldn’t she return to the time she left off?
Arms crossed and head lowered at Quote’s concerned words, Lucca didn’t look up until he asked her another question.
“...Hm? Oh, yes. I can show you around. I was just heading over to the Academy, actually.” That might be a good place to answer his questions -- and some of her own, now that she’s thinking about it. “Every citizen has a room assigned to them. What housing assignment did they give you, Quote?”
“Hey, you seem familiar… are you Lucca Ashtear…?”
[ 🕒 ] — “Hmm?” Interrupted from her academic studies, Lucca looked down at what appeared to be a talking toy otter. Seemed that her reputation preceded her -- that’s new for this city!
“Oh, yes! Yes, I am! And who might you be?”
Feeling a tad embarrassed about her rather rude staring, the girl bowed her head just slightly. She felt her face flush as she raised her head again, shyly glancing away,
“V-very nice to meet you! My name is Shujinko. I just arrived to this… Place today…~”
The girl bit her lip nervously, hoping that she hadn’t come off as rude earlier.
[ 🕒 ] — Goodness, that was rather polite of her. She had no problem offering to help, in that case!
“Ah, I see! You’re new. Nice to meet you, Shujinko!”
“Do you need help finding your way around? I had some trouble on my first day, too.”
Ah… looked like he’d worried her quite a bit. Whoops.
{ … } ~ “ … Don’t worry about it. ”
In the end, he had come to terms with the fact that he didn’t know his creators. They had probably not wanted him to pursue them so he could focus on making his own life.
It was a little disheartening, certainly, but…
{ … } ~ “ … I’m fine. I don’t mind answering something as simple as that. And I’m… sure they didn’t put that data in me… for a reason. ”
Ah… she was a roboticist… meaning she understood the mechanics of robots, naturally. Did he need that now…? … He’d think on it.
{ … } ~ “ … Thank you. That’s… very kind of you. ”
{ … } ~ “ … You seem… very kind, in general. ”
His expression didn’t change much as he said this… but he certainly meant it. From what he’d seen, she seemed kind and caring… traits which Quote very much valued.
{ … } ~ “ May I… ask your name? I’d… like to know you. Mine’s… Quote. ”
[ 🕒 ] — Was he going to be okay? He was going to be okay. If he could make it through this, maybe she could, too. Lucca managed to bring a soft smile back as she wiped something away from her eye. No, no tears, it was just... dirty, was all.
“Aah... I’m alright. I’m fine now. I’m better.”
Clearing her throat, she did her best to move pass it.
“Anyway... I’m Lucca! Lucca Ashtear, that’s me. I’m a student at Hive City Academy!”
“How about you, Quote? What do you want to do?”
“Th- thousands?! …”
Bang was speechless, over a thousand?! It was something he couldn’t comprehend, curious on how this device worked he kneels down and closely examines the device.
Though, when the whereabouts to how she got this device was mentioned, his expression changed considerably. This device was just given to her?! By who exactly?! If it was by these ‘scientists’ surely no good would come from it.
“Wait a moment! So you just happened to find that device in your mailbox?”
“Given to you by our captors at that?! Are you sure that this tool is safe to use?! It could easily be some sort of trap!”
As a future disciple and a young citizen of this city, Bang didn’t want tragedy to befall this young girl! He simply wouldn’t allow it!
[ 🕒 ] — “W-What? Captors?! I-I don’t think of them like that! And b-besides, there’s no proof of this being a trap!”
With a heavy heart and a weary sigh, Lucca lowered her head to reflect on the man’s words.
“I... I really don’t want to think about them like that. I know I’m away from my friends and family, and I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye... but I know I can pick up right where I left off, and there could be a lot of good coming out of this experiment! Why, with all the knowledge and technology available to us, we could go back and make our worlds a better place!”
“Isn’t that something worth fighting for? Isn’t there something we can gain from this place?”

{ … } ~ “ … Hm. ”
He glanced over the map provided to him. It wasn’t quite what he expected, but at least it looked interpretable. Simple, but it gets the job done.
{ … } ~ “ I see… understandable enough. At least… this place is diverse. ”
He took another look at the map, making a digital mental note. He should be fine, there.
{ … } ~ “ … I don’t know my creators. As mentioned, they were anonymous. They left… little data on themselves… in our circuits. As well… much of the data was lost… after a forced shutdown many years ago. Even my partner… doesn’t know who they were. ”
Perhaps he was being too open with someone he just met… but it felt fine to him. She was curious, he was willing to talk. The danger was dead anyways, there was no risk.
[ 🕒 ] — The conversation had been fairly light until now, as should be expected of any introduction, but as the bot began to tread into darker territory, Lucca’s smile faded away.
“Oh my goodness... I’m so, so sorry. I-I should thought before I asked.”
“... There probably isn’t a good time to say this, but it just so happens that I’m... also a roboticist. If there’s anything I can do to make your stay any easier, please, please, don’t hesitate to ask.”
For even if he didn’t let it show on his face, she knew from Robo that deep down, there was something. And wasn’t the important part the effects they had on others? Just like with people, they meant that much to her.
