Yuta Gamon | Occultic;Nine [blog wrappig up due to group closing]

n0nesse‌:

Nice try Yuta, but even mumbling rapidly under your breath isn’t enough for 9S to miss what you’re saying. The notion of wanting to stay inside and do nothing sounds like absolute torture to him… Was that really how some humans willingly lived? Enough of them that there was an official designation? Humans really did have it rough.

“Why would you use such a derisive term for yourself?” he asks, unable to resist following up on the topic despite Yuta’s obvious discomfort. “You seem really confident otherwise. But, uh… sure, I’ve got other questions. Like why are humans so obsessed with food? Nearly every commercial structure I’ve visited has some sort of dining area, and we’ve got thousands of video files related to it… It just seems like a lot, even for something necessary.”

It was only torture if you allowed it to be that way on yourself! And as Yuta stated, he didn’t really stay inside that much. He actually goes on walks to cafes and stuff! He’s way more active than the average otaku! Not like he's ever gonna tell that to 9s, instead Yuta straight up ignores the first question in favor of the food one. Sweet relief from embarrassment!

“Ah! Food! Why, yes, it might seem weird to someone who doesn’t necessarily needs it! But the thing is... when we’re sure that having food won’t be a problem, we try to also find ways to enjoy said food! It’s not as much an obsession as it is just humans trying to find the best ways to eat food! Taste, presentation, even the smell... it’s all important! There’s lots of places that sell food and in all likelihood, the food from one place might differ from the one in another! Sometimes completely! These places, and by extension the people running these palces, try to make profit off of selling good food that people enjoy, hence why there’s a lot of places that sell it, most of the times already made and ready to be eaten! It’s all in a big effort to attract more customers than any other business, as everyone attempts to find the best place to eat food at through trial-and-error!”

Yuta is actually getting more into this than he thought. He’s absolutely NOT an expert in “how to explain humanity 101″ but he’s reveling in being so “knowledgeable” about something for once, and he wants to feel like that for a bit. Not like that means he’s not trying! He’s doing his best to provide Nines with the most complete answer he can give! “That’s the gist of it, really! Some humans sell food that is good, and other humans that don’t consume that food in search of the one that is best suited for their taste! And in doing so make business run and flourish, pretty much!”

“Got it.” Grinning, 9S copies his thumbs-up. Yuta had given him the go-ahead to ask questions too, hadn’t he? Now 9S just had to sort out which was the highest priority. The old human world of technology was so much different from his own. For example, what was a website? Surely nothing was preventing any human from learning how to use computer technology if they really wanted to? Why was the term nerd derisive? Was it the diametric opposite of cool, and what classifications lay between? 

“Actually, I… There’s so much I want to learn but… What’s a NEET?” He finally asks. His databases had returned no results for the acronym, so he could only assume it was some sort of slang that had gone extinct. 

Ah, yes, 20 questions time! Time for Yuta to pull off his best senpai impression on this young, naive android!... And then 9s asks such a cursed question. “A-ah! Well, um, you see! So! Indeed! that is!” Curses! How is he gonna maintain a cool exterior when that term is so... uncool by default!!! This is gonna be difficult...

“I-*ahem*, what I mean to say is! It... basically! Stands for someone that! Stays inside the house a lot! By choice! andalsodoesnnothingtoearnanincome But! I merely use it as an umbrella term, you could say! As you can clearly see, I do tend to get out of the house pretty often, eheh! andalsoidotrytomakemoneyonmyownandstuff...”

Fidget fidget, fidget fidget. “... SO! You definitely have some other questions, right? Maybe some that are about more interesting topics! I’ll admit this one was definitely really boring to you, completely and utterly uninteresting! You surely have something else to ask! Something great, ahaha! Remember, there are no stupid questions, ever!” This is his polite way of asking 9s to change the subject.

"Did you lose your house too?" 9S asks. His dragon is curled around his neck, peering owlishly at Yuta.

NeetGod replied:

⎯ 「 Huh? Oh, uh, no, my house was fine, but…! More importantly! 」 And then he just points an accusatory finger at the dragon around 9s’s neck.

⎯ 「 Nines! D-did you get a dragon too? You went through one of the portals without me, didn’t you? Dammit, I knew I should’ve taken you up on that offer! It’s not fair, everyone is getting a cute dragon companion and I’m still here all dragon-less! 」 That’s all he’s worried about? He’s not even gonna try to comfort 9s about the house he lost? Wow, Yuta. I mean, he’ll probably do after he’s done getting the childish out of his system, but still....

It’s just too bad 9S has absolutely no metric for what’s cool or not, especially because Yuta’s now insisting being a nerdy little hacker robot is the height of coolness. “I- you really think so?” He asks, peering earnestly into Yuta’s eyes. All YoRHa units performed important functions, with no model treating any other model as lesser, but he definitely got the feeling that Scanners were considered a higher-maintenance group. A bit troublesome to deal with given how quickly they got bored and started trying to take their own surroundings apart. Was that cool?

The nickname suggestion gives him pause, and he frowns thoughtfully. “I… don’t know if I should go calling anybody master. People might get the wrong idea. I know I’m supposed to serve humanity and all, but…” But even if YoRHa units were unworthy of being true androids, unworthy even of names, they were still better than mere servants, weren’t they? The objection doesn’t word itself with such clarity in his mind, only as a crawling, uncomfortable feeling. “…it’s better if we go with something else. Are you sure you don’t like Gamotan? I think it’s nice…”

NeetGod posted:

⎯ There it is. The fall of the hubris. Yuta once again pushed his luck with that request! His ego should’ve learned by now, but that’s just wishful thinking. 「 Geh...! 」 Being called out so candidly like that just further pushes the knife into the wound. It’s painful! Make it stop! Yuta promises never to try to be cool too hard ever agan! 「 O-okay okay, that... may have been a bit too much of me... and it’s not like I want you to serve me either, that’s slavery! I’m not a slave owner, I’m just your friendly neighborhood NEET! 」

⎯ It seems there’s no choice. Swallow your pride, Yuta. Bros before eghoes. 「 I suppose... I can make... an exception for you... You may call me Gamotan, but if anyone asks, you just decided on it by yourself! Got it!? 」 The terms have been laid out. The contract is ( probably ) sealed. Time to move on from this naming topic!

⎯ 「 And yes, by the way! I really think so! Don’t let society fool you! Hacking! Computers! Information technology! They’re all extremely valuable areas of services, and any and all who specialize at it are worthy of praise! They may call us nerds, but that’s just jealousy! In this era where technology advances so fast, we’ll always be on top! Or... you will! I’m content being a mere website creator/curator! 」

⎯ Suddenly Yuta places a reassuring ( trying to be, at least ) hand on 9s’s shoulder. Yuta looks at the android straight in the eyes, putting on his best big brother impression as he does a confident thumbs up. 「 Never forget, Nines...! We’re cool guys! 」

❝ What even are these video formats, anyway? ❞ Octavio was glad to have found someone who understands in this boy. It was something that had been on his mind since he woke up in the city. What were his fans going to do if he couldn’t upload anything? Especially after daily, sometimes hourly uploads!

…would he lose followers? Oh, no.

❝ Listen, amigo, if you want to debunk something, let’s work together to solve the urban legend of this firewall. Everyone I’ve talked to says the same thing, they can’t get out, it’s all internal. ❞ He shoved his phone back in his pocket. Useless, for now.

❝ Are you telling me you signed up for this voluntarily? You must be another kind of weird. What did they promise you, money? No amount of money could fix how bored I am being stuck here. It feels like a cage. ❞

NeetGod posted:

⎯ Hummity-hum. Yuta ponders the offer. Does he feel that adventurous and/or bored? Is he willing to go on such a possibly dangerous journey? That will needs some more thinking! Time to stall time by replying to the other part of the convo! 「 I mean, yeah, I did sign up voluntarily to this, I guess. I think I was like, curious, more than anything! This all reeked of straight up government conspiracy or something along those lines! Now, if you were to ask me where I got the courage of joining something that gave me such a feeling, I wouldn’t know how to answer it, honestly... 」

⎯ More hummity-hum. The urban legend of this firewall... urban legend... damn, with just those two words, he’s already getting hooked. 「 It’s true that this is all very sketchy, though... I mean, it’s silly to have our interactions with the outside world limited like this! It’s like there’s something out there that will make us see this place in an even weirder light... but that doesn’t make sense! We all come from outside, after all! 」

⎯ He was just rambling, but his own hypothesis struck some sort of inner chord that didn’t sound quite right. “ The outside has something that will make everything about this city seem even sketchier. “ He was seriously just talking out of his ass ( big surprise there ) but... why did it feel like he was more right than he first assumed?

⎯ 「 Huh... You know, I’m the one who said that, but like... now that I think about it... Is there something about the outside that isn’t right and that we don’t know of? 」 Yuta’s brain makes a metaphorical clicking sound. But the wrong kind of metaphorical clicking sound. 「 Oh my God is this like some sort of apocalypse scenario where a selected few are chosen to be kept alive and blissfully ignorant of how the outside is just falling to ruin!? What if there’s like a zombie apocalypse!? Or maybe an alien invasion!? Oh man, I’m making myself worry now... 」

Maybe Vanna should have thought things over before offering her help. After all, she was a nonhuman, and while some people thought of her as interesting it was only a matter of time before someone was unnerved by her. And what was he getting at? He wanted to go home, but he didn’t want an escort? Was this guy a secret martial-arts master, ‘cuz otherwise she couldn’t imagine why he would want to walk back alone when it’s this dark out. Fortunately, that sour mood didn’t last, what with Locket coming over to inspect the new guy.

“Oh you like him! Well, do you wanna hold him?” If it wasn’t for the cutesy tone her voice changed to when she spoke, it would have been pretty difficult to determine who she was speaking to. Even if that hint flew over one’s head, the fact that she responded to the dragon’s nod while unwittingly ignoring Yuta would put that matter to rest. The cephalopod stepped forward and allowed her dragon to investigate the blogger, all earlier apprehension forgotten. It was only when she saw his change in expression did she think to answer properly.

“Did you see any portals after the buildings collapsed? I went though one and found Locket on the other side!” The dragon in question looked over at the mention of his name, but quickly returned his attention to the young man. Even if he couldn’t investigate the kid properly since Vanna was still holding him around the waist.

NeetGod posted:

⎯ Oh, Yuta is absolutely not apt for walking alone at night! But it’s not like he knows that. Not to worry, he might just learn that lesson soon enough... but that’s a story for another time. For now, Yuta’s completely mesmerized by that little creature that’s being held out in front of him, like a cat owner offering their cat to you so you can pet it. But this isn’t a cat! It’s a dragon! And such a cute one, at that! 「 Oh! M-may I? He looks adorable! 」

⎯ Yuta gingerly takes the little dragon from the girls hands. How do you hold a dragon again? Like a cat or like a baby? Yuta takes a moment to look at him while holding him from the waist, and then takes special care to settle him comfortably between his arms, while also not trapping him there. He thinks he did a pretty good job! 「 Wow, I can’t believe I’d ever actually hold up a dragon like this! Well, mostly because I didn’t expect them to be so small... 」

⎯ 「 Oh, um, yeah, I did see portals! I wasn’t really about to check them out yet... but maybe that’s as good an excuse as any! 」 Yuta offered a little finger for Locket to sniff if he wanted to. Oh, to be a little dragon being cradled by a human. 「 Locket, you said? Such a cute name! But, what do you mean with “ found? ” Did you really just happen to meet each other and now you’re... well... like this? 」

@shintaroxisaragi​​ HAS JOINED THE BASARITERS! ( starter call )

Admittedly, there were reasons why he wasn’t really around the Bureau before ( mainly he absolutely wasn’t feeling like being a helpful member of society and all that for a while ), but Yuta figures that if there’s a thing he can do is look around the debris, check things out, maybe help out a little? So many volunteers, some more than willing to accept help, he can definitely find some things to distract himself from his dark thoughts! And also, after that weird announcement... he felt like it would be a good start to look at the source of the disaster. Mostly because he still didn’t feel confident enough to go through those portals just yet...

At least, that’s what he was expecting, but he definitely didn’t think that one of those distractions would be someone tripping on one too many pebbles and falling flat onto the ground. Ouch, that must’ve hurt like Hell! Now, while we already established that Yuta isn’t a charitable person ( not much at least ), he’s not indifferent to the plights of clumsy people, being one himself. Also no one else is helping this guy with the red jacket, so unfortunately, it falls on Yuta to check if he’s okay.

「 Uh, hey, dude? Are you okay? That was a pretty bad fall... 」 It takes a few seconds for Yuta to walk near the fallen guy and crouch down next to him. He poked him once on his shoulder with a finger. Okay, let’s make one thing clear, if this guy’s dead, Yuta’s gonna book it. No way he’s getting blamed for murder like this! 「 He-hey, come on, get up, you make it seems like you’re dead or something... 」

If only he could still hack into himself and repair whatever disintegrating code was causing him to act this way. Trying to do so manually hadn’t gotten him anywhere, parts of his own data locked off behind walls of blinding white. “Of course. It really shouldn’t be a problem for much longer,” 9S quietly reassures, giving Yuta’s hand a gentle squeeze as it’s shaken. He’s extra careful not to grip too hard on the human’s fragile phalanges. He’d had Leo pull him along by the wrist before, but it wasn’t quite the same as folding their hands around one another. Greetings between YoRHa units were salutes; physical contact was exceedingly rare.

Yuta’s delight helps him further shake off any doubts. Yes, this was fine, Yuta might not completely believe him, but he hadn’t failed this mission yet. Was it bad to think of it as a mission? No, nevermind, he couldn’t entertain that train of thought again. 9S offers his other hand in case Yuta wanted to hold that one too, even though they were pretty much identical. “Thanks I- It’s cool for me too. I actually have a couple questions myself-” More like thousands of them. “-but I can wait if there’s anything else you want to know. Um, my name stands for Unit 9, Type S… S being for ‘Scanner,’ which is my function. It’s like that for all of us newer models, just a number and a letter. With so many units to oversee, I guess Command wanted to keep it simple.” 

Did humans really form friendships so easily? It was only a few minutes ago that Yuta was complaining about 9S’s goggles, but here they were, exchanging nicknames. “Is… there a name you want me to call you by?” 

NeetGod posted:

⎯ He giddily listens as 9s explains his name and what it means, all while also just as giddily taking the android’s other extended hand, just because it feels cool to be holding an android’s hand. So lifelike! And so gentle! This is absolutely sick! 「 Scanner! Oh man, so you’re like, the intel gatherer? And also like, the hacker of the party and stuff! Aaah, that’s amazing! That’s like, the coolest set of abilities and skills, if you ask me! Even better than just fighting! And you’re saying you’re one of the newer models, too? Oh man, so you’re one of the cool kids, I bet! 」

⎯ Uh oh. 9s stepped on a landmine there. Never give Yuta Gamon the opportunity to choose a name for himself. That’s too much power. He’ll abuse it, for sure. 「 O-oh, a name? For me? W-well! If you have to ask, you can totally call me Master Yuta, since, heh, well, I can definitely answer all of your questions with knowledge to spare... Th-that’s like, what all of my minion...s, call me too! She-they definitely don’t call me a cutesy nickname like Gamotan! 」  This is the narrator taking over. Please do call him Gamotan. It’s cute. And also don’t let him feed his ego like that. Also, Master Yuta? Seriously? He can’t even think of something cooler. What a loser.

⎯ 「 A-anyway, as I was saying! I can totally answer your questions!... Try to at least! 」 Terrible role model, right here. Horrible choice for android formation on human knowledge.

What an odd coincidence that this level of wanton destruction happened to coincide with the school’s break period. All the better for Vanna to investigate whatever was happening, at least. Maybe she could figure out why her sealed memory was so vital to this little mystery.

Spending the whole day out clearing rubble, distributing water bottles, and directing those whose apartments were in the blast to alternative housing wasn’t very conductive to her ends, but at least she felt useful. In any case, it was too dark for volunteers to stay (and too dangerous on account of the ghosts), so Vanna was starting the odd-number block trek back to her dwelling and her dragon. Tomorrow may work out better for her.

The octoling made it ten feet until she bumped into someone, a young man with a fluffy short cut and… a rain slicker? Trying not to stare, she instead looked directly into the neet’s eyes before speaking. “Yeah, it’s been really busy with all the cleanup.” What was it that humans said? That she was bone tired? Yeah. “I-do ya want me to walk you home, man? You seem a little frazzled.”

NeetGod posted:

⎯ Oh god, direct eye contact. That’s never fun. He somewhat shrinks away from it, because this girl seems much more socially confident than he’ll ever hope to be ( at least when he’s not being a drama queen ), even thought that’s not saying much. Still kinda uncomfortable for him! But he can’t bring himself to just say it outright: not even being sad as Hell will stop Yuta from trying to look cooler and more serious than he actually is!... also is that a dragon?

⎯ That said, very nice of a stranger to offer such help. He would never! He’s a coward and not exactly the charitable type! Gotta commend this girl though! And also probably thank her. 「 Oh, um... I appreciate the sentiment, but really, I’m okay! Mostly... I’m just thinking of going home and take a good sleep... 」 He says that as he just keeps looking at that dragon. How can he not? It’s a dragon! A small one, yeah, but still a dragon! Who cares about  being depressed and taking a nap, he’s gotta ask!

⎯ 「 Hey, uh... is that... 」 He points to her familiar, a glint of excitement in his eyes. It’s a dragon, goddammit!!! 「 ... is that a dragon...? Like, for real, a dragon? Wh-where did it even come from? I know this town’s full of weirdos but that’s the first I’ve seen of cat-sized dragons...  」

“No, no, y-y-you’re fine,” 9S winces internally, though that glitch wasn’t nearly as bad as the last one. “This can happen sometimes if we’re trying to process too much information at once. You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just, normally I’d never get to interact with so many humans. It’ll fix itself once I get used to this place, don’t worry.” Not a lie, but not the full truth, and the fact that he has to make something up to reassure Yuta at all makes him feel slightly ill. Yuta had seemed sincere, and here he was, being lied to. 9S probably could have said almost anything, as long as it sounded plausible to a human who had no experience with androids of his type.

“I’m sorry, Yuta. I should’ve introduced myself. My name is 9S, but you can call me Nines, if that’s easier for you.” He offers his left hand to Yuta in reconciliation, knowing that their prior interaction probably could not continue, both relieved and disappointed. Compliments were such a rarity for any of them. Occasionally he was commended on the data he’d collected, but when he was just doing his job, did it really count? 

NeetGod posted:

⎯ Even Yuta is somehow not dumb enough to buy that excuse, especially after 9s glitched again a little there, but at the same time, Yuta is way too much of a worrywart to press the matter further, for fear of making his newfound buddy even more stressed. That’s the last thing he’d want to do to a new friend! 「 Hmmmm... well, I guess I’ll trust you on that... 」

⎯ With that, Yuta lets some eagerness slip as he shakes 9s’s hand. How many people can say that they’ve shook hands with a real android? Not that many, for sure! Except Yuta just did! 「Ooooh...! I just shook hands with an android! It feels like shaking hands with another normal person but at the same time it’s so cool! Sorry if it seems silly but this is so cool to me! It’s like I’m in some sort of sci-fi futuristic setting right now! 」 He should probably tone down the fanboy-ing, but he’s too caught up in his excitement to do that. But that handshake was way too excited! Where did the “ play it cool “ rule go!?

⎯ 「 9s... That’s such a cool name! What does it stand for? Are all android names like that? And Nines is such a cool nickname! An even cooler nickname! I’m gonna call you Nines for sure ‘cause it sound so cool! And also that means we’re buddies, ‘cause nicknames are what friends do, after all! 」 Now you just sound like an over-excited ten-years-old, please calm down and start acting your age.

n0nesse:

“You can’t fault that logic,” 9S agrees, as in the back of his mind something is urgently pinging at him. What was he supposed to do about this? Compliment the human back? Did humans like it when you did that? Was this flirting? Was he even allowed to do that? You’re not even supposed to be interacting with humans in this way. You’re made only to protect them. You don’t actually like anybody, you’re just programmed to think you do. But he’s being nice to me.He won’t be nice when he realizes what you are. Remove yourself from the situation. This is not allowed. Remove yourself. Remove yourself-

“You-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-” His voice glitches wildly, and 9S stumbles back, clapping his hands over his mouth, eyes wide. His programming keeps on insisting he immediately run to mitigate the transgression, but he forces it to quiet, overriding the command, slapping yet another band-aid on this increasingly leaky dam. “…sorry about that,” he says, folding his hands together. “I think the change of location’s disoriented my sensors. This has been happening a lot lately. I was going to say, I think you have really nice eyes too.”

NeetGod posted:

⎯ 「 W-whoa, you okay there, buddy? 」 Yuta looks concernedly towards his android friend ( they’re friends right? They totally are by now. ). That... was not normal android behavior, was it? Not even normal robot behavior. That was just... weird. His reassurance doesn’t really reassure Yuta at all either. And even the compliment somehow doesn’t deter him from being worried, even though it usually would. 「 Um, I’m glad you think that... but are you sure you’re good? You did glitch kinda bad there... can I even say glitch? Is it robophobic? You definitely spazzed out there, that’s not normal, right? 」

⎯ Uh oh, did he say something wrong? Is this like that “ can’t compute “ joke but in actual reality? Are Yuta’s compliments overloading his android friend’s system or something? Oh no. Yuta’s tone gets increasingly worried. Still not frantically so, but he’s getting close. 「 Hey, it’s not like I said something wrong, right? I don’t really know how you really talk to an android so if I’m doing something wrong you can tell me and I’ll stop... I’d feel bad knowing I’m making you all glitchy... um... wait, what did you say your name was, again? Oh wow, I don’t think I’ve even given you my name, I’m Yuta! Um, I’m sorry if I made you all glitchy there for a second! 」
