An usually happy smile is the response Vatista’s curious inquiry receives as the teen roughly ruffle’s the child’s hair. 

“Because it looks pretty fun. If you have lots of great things right in front of you, you should enjoy it all while you have the chance so you don’t leave any regrets behind. ‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow’ , that’s my motto.” 

[zahhisio]

His hand was a lot rougher on her head than Hyde’s was, that was evident.

“So we have to ride one so we would not have any regrets? Very well, if you believe you would ‘regret’ not doing so then you should do it... I suppose.”

Regretting things was not something Vatista understood, and not something she believes she can ever understand being the emotionless being she was. She wasn’t even sure she could enjoy anything in the first place, so how could she regret not doing something that ‘looked fun’.

“But how is ‘living as if you were to die tomorrow’ any different from normal living? Is there not always a possibility present of dying tomorrow?”

[idontgiveanora-deactivated20170]

“You mean…You never rode in one before?!” What a waste! She’s clearly lived here pretty long and she hadn’t even rude one? “That’s such a waste…”

Carefree expression turning pensive and arms crossed Deigree cranes his around, mismatched irises scanning the modern area he had become so taken with once more. Then, suddenly, inspiration struck.“Oh…OHH!! I got it!” He hits his palm with his fist, expression lighting up like a firework again and then folds his arms behind his head. If she’s never rode one and neither had he they should ride one together, new experiences are always so much better with new friends!

“Alrighty then~ We’ll just have to go find one we can ride ourselves!”

[zahhisio]

“I never been required to ride one before, so yes, you are correct.”

Of course she took his question as an actual question rather than a comment and answered it. Though she didn’t understand why he said it was a waste. Wouldn’t it be considered wasteful to be doing things that were not required? The thought was not something she could really comprehend at this time.

His sudden exclamation caused the Puppet of Resurrection to tilt her head.

“...? We do? Why is that?

“Man! So this is what the big city in the human world looks like?” Standing atop a streetlight in broad daylight the silver-haired boy whistled and slapped his hips with both hands as he surveyed the area with eyes so full of curiosity they were practically sparkling. He was clearly impressed by the modern sights he had never gotten the chance to witness in his own time. “Hehehe…Well, how’dya like that? …It’s kinda stinky though…” Deigree couldn’t help but comment before unceremoniously dropping down 30-feet and landing in front of the autonomic nerve with a thousand watt grin as she was crossing the street.

“Hey, hey, you! What are those metal things rollin’ in the black pathways there called?” He asked pointing at some foreign sports-car as it sped on by. “They look like they’re  fun to ride!”

[zahhisio]

Well, this was not something she expected today, though not something she seemed surprised by. She stopped completely as soon as the man landed in front of her, the only sign of any short of shock by this was only a hardly noticeable widening of her eyes which disappeared as quickly as it came.  With an empty gaze she listened to his inquiry, her eyes looking at what he pointed at then looking back at him.

“I was informed that those are called ‘cars’, they are vehicles with the odd ability to not require something to pull it in order to move. Though I do not know if they are considered ‘fun’ to ride.”

A month.

A MONTH.

Surprises were always the bad ones that came to him, while he would just freak out and scream he just took a deep breath and exhaled. Fujino must had her reasons to bring her here so he won’t kick her out, probably she didn’t had a place to live. And living in the outer sectors isn’t better too, so he will let this slip.

“Oh no. I was gonna fix some stuff for you, a bed and probably a proper room. All people require privacy right? So I might do some stuff and move my room so you can get one for yourself.”

He probably did not want a little girl to help him to move big furniture like the bed, or the closet.

“Wait what. Forced me to wear clothes?”

[zahhisio]

The Puppet of Resurrection shook her head. Although he stated that privacy was something required by people, she was not a person but a weapon. So she shouldn’t have such a requirement. Not to mention she saw no reason why people would need such a thing, wouldn’t it be more dangerous if everyone was separate when something bad happens?

Humans had some really odd practices.

“Ah, there is no need for that, an Autonomic Nerve does not require those things. Nor do I wish to impose onto you. I am fine with the current arrangements.”

“Yes, did he force you to wear clothes in order to protect his dignity as well?”

Chocolate and Late Night Movies (closed thread with Fujino Asagami)

[shallowgod]

Fujino had stayed up that night, having taken a rather long nap around lunchtime after work. It hadn’t been intentional, but now she had time to just relax around the house. To… Reflect, on what had happened to her. She felt… older, in a mental sort of way. As if things happened to her, and it was just inserted into place as easily as a missing piece to a puzzle.

It was odd, but she could live with it. Furthermore, she didn’t feel as… Needy, or broken as before. It was rather nice. 

“Hmm?” Her thoughts were interrupted by the “newest” addition to the house, Vatista. “Huh… Mermaid? There’s a race of them in the water district. They’re, uhh… Half human, half fish or other aquatic animal.” She blinked at the movie the girl had brought over, seeing Ariel on the cover. “Like that.” She tapped the cover art, smiling slightly. “There’s a lot of different interpretations, but this sort of thing is the most common.”

[zahhisio]

“A race of them in the water district....?”

Since she was not programmed for swimming, Vatista all but completely avoided that district. So she never seen what strange things lay there. But a being that was half human-half fish? She couldn’t even begin to comprehend how something like that could even work--- Wait, if they were half human then would that mean it would be possible for there to be In-birth mermaids? Did the Hallow Night even happen under water?

Hearing her answer, Vatista looked down at the cover art of the case, although her question was answered a few more popped into her head. She kept her eyes on the colorful girl on the cover, staring at it intently as if an answer would come just by doing that. After another few seconds she spoke up again, not letting her stare waver.

“So she is a ‘mermaid’? But she does not seem very little, or are all ‘mermaids’ extremely large? Are the shells some sort of weapon? Do some of them have the top-half of a fish instead?”

[zahhisio]

Chocolate and Late Night Movies (closed thread with Fujino Asagami)

@shallowgod

It was late a night, and anyone who would have told the small Autonomic Nerve to go to sleep was already asleep themselves. Except perhaps for Fujino, but she didn’t seem that bothered by the fact that Vatista was staying up. She was far different from Hyde, who would have objected to the weapon not falling asleep by a certain time, despite her informing him on multiple occasions that she did not require such things.

Since there was not much for her to do, she started wondering the house and look at the things that reside in it. Until she happened upon a bunch of movies, one of which caught her eye. It was titled The Little Mermaid and had a very colorful case, after staring at it for a few seconds she finally grabbed it off the shelf a brought it over to Fujino.

“Fujino... What is a ‘mermaid’?”

[7thdragon2020]

i did vatista cause she has like 10 or so frames in her standing animation god bless

[exsofdarkness-deactivated201802]

❝ i like my hair the way it is, thank you. ❞

An exasperated sigh escapes the In-Birth’s lips. …She really could be surprisingly obstinate when she wanted to. While a little frustrating, a small part of Hyde had to admit he was kinda happy to see her acting more like a girl her age.

“I know. I know. Believe me. But it’s getting way too long! You don’t want it to get stuck in something again like when we went shopping last week, right?”  That trip to the mall was hell. Wads of gum got stuck in Vatista’s pigtails… It kept getting stepped on by pretty much everyone… Not to mention all the dirt… By the end of the day the ends of her hair ended up looking like some kind of dirty paint brush. 

And then came the escalator… 

Hyde nearly shudders at the memory. He could still remember the strange and judging looks he kept getting when he just decided to carry her around for the rest of the day… “A-Anyway, you understand why I need to trim it up a bit, right? It’s not like it wont grow back and besides it’s just so it wont be dragging everywhere you go, okay?”

“…So can you please let me have my hands back now? My wrists are turning purple.”

[zahhisio]

“... No.”

The small girl slowly  shook her head at his request, still clinging to his hands tightly to prevent him from trying to shorten the length of her hair. Since she has never, in her long life, once had her hair cut. Even if it did get in the way of things in this city the idea of cutting a part of her off didn’t seem like something her program would agree with.... Although her program was not ordering her to prevent this as of now, she only could assume that was because she was holding onto Hyde’s hands right now.

“Allowing myself to be injured is prohibited by my Program. If you wish to proceed then I will have to respond to your attacks with force. I can simply hold my hair in places where it would seem to cause trouble, would that not be a safer and more logical compromise, Hyde?”

Squeezes his hands slightly tighter.

“…” His face turned pale the moment she began to say numbers up from 100’s and what’s the worst of it, she said it all on seconds, now this is a bad time to have failed the math class from high school. “Say that again? I meant in days…” Poor guy looked at the autonomic nerve with a puzzled face. “So, you were brought by Fujino. I see. I should talk to her about this.”

He took a moment of silence to think and finally talked to the little girl.

“Did Fujino told you to live here? I mean, only to fix stuff.” Time to sleep in the couch then…He though, while asking he only whispered a slight commentary to himself. “Man, Hyde-kun would sure know how to deal with this stuff…”

[zahhisio]

Hearing what he wanted, she paused for a few more seconds as she slowly converted the seconds to days. Whilst she was doing this she did not make a single bit of movement saved from the slight rising of her chest as she breathed.

“In days? Very well, I have been in this house for 3.25052083 days making for a total of about 46.7686921296 days spent in this house.”

Her head tilted at his question, Fujino did not tell her anything about fixing things, but if she was supposed to then she would do it.

“Fix stuff? Does something need repairs? I could try to fix it if you wish.”

Though with her understanding of things, she would probably make it worse. Hearing a familiar name come out of the boy’s mouth, Vatista decided to comment on it.

“Ah, you know Hyde? Did he force you to wear clothes as well?”

[zahhisio]

“What is the purpose of the overabundance of lights lately? As well as all the colors of them?”

[nanatsu-yoru-deactivated2018022]

“–Eh?”

He stares at the girl with a puzzled expression. The way she said that..It’s the way someone spoke of something as if they had only heard about it in passing. …Or something like that. Well taking into consideration the nature of the inhabitants of this bizarre city, it’s not entirely impossible but…. 

“….”

He quickly shakes off the train of thought, deliberating it not to be particularly important right now. Right… First things first and that’s dealing with the feathered noisemaker with a promising career as an alarm clock in his hands. 

     “Ah…..Well, that’s because it’s all by itself, right?  This bird got separated from it’s family so he must be pretty scared right now.” He gives a surprisingly simple answer. “He doesn’t seem like he can walk that well so it’s nest probably isn’t all that far from here.”

[zahhisio]

She lifted her head up to meet to look at the boy’s face, her dull and emotionless eyes meeting with his kind ones. A small tilt of her head that hinted her minor confusion at part of his answer.

“So he is loud because he is scared? But wouldn’t that alert predators even more-so of his location, unless I am unaware of any special effect of these sounds. It seems like that would be counter productive.... probably.”

Vatista scanned the area, hoping to spot something abnormal that might be indication of a ‘nest’ to little avail. There didn’t seem to be anything on the ground to indicate where the creature would live. He said it should be nearby... perhaps it was camouflaged? Looking back at the man, a very small frown formed on her face.

“What would his nest look like? Is thee anything that could indicate it’s location?”

[zahhisio]

“Why are people getting so excited for a toy?”

He stood up, scratching his head, clearly he didn’t expect an actual little girl living there in the first place, she remained too quiet that he didn’t notice when she leaved or stuff, what a mess has this situation become.

“Specifically, how much have you been here in this house? I am the owner and I don’t remember you coming here. Who brought you here?” A worried tone came from his voice, seriously, was this a prank from someone? Scratching his head once again he only looked at the floor and then at the autonomic nerve again.

“Anyway, I’m Yoshina Ageha, may I know your name?”

[zahhisio]

She gave a small nod, calculating the time since she last entered the house in her head. Since he didn’t ask how long she had been living here, the calculation was much more difficult. The Autonomic Nerve had to remember and subtract all the time she was not in this house, it didn’t take a long amount of time, but it was a few moments of awkward silence as she came with the numbers.

“I have been in this house for 280,845 seconds making for a total of about 4,040,815 seconds spent in this house... probably. I was brought here by a human named Fujino.”

It wasn’t an exact calculation, but she was not a calculator. Though, hopefully it was enough to answer his questions.

“Yoshina Ageha... memorized. My name is Vatista

[zahhisio]

She holds out her hand and watches the snowflakes that lands on it melt. That’s just about her reaction to the current weather.
