Because Kyt's impatient

[justanimitator]

[It's been over a while since Len's been in the Dressing Room proper or seen any of his friends and acquaintances. Rini and the TaT!twins aside, of course. But then again, they are family now, right?

Anyways, Len's feeling a little better today-- no bad dreams-- so he's decided to take a walk. He does like being outside and it makes it easier to charge too. He was trying to stay on mansion grounds, but without knowing it he ended up leaving them.

Whoops!]

Exactly! People just never bother considering the positive aspects of my power. [BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY sob]

[justanimitator]

Um, p-- power?

[thinking of Rini-san and Miku-san and their fire]

...Powers are nice!

[techbane]

See, you got the right idea. Gumi and I are the only mutants here, I think, or at least the only ones from our world, so it'd be cool to find more freaks like us.

[justanimitator]

I'm sorry, I-- I don't understand 'mutants'.

I don't t-- think 'freaks' is... is a nice word? S-- so maybe-- I mean, um...

[techbane]

Meh, long story.

Depends on how you use it, though.

[justanimitator]

Oh.

[mentally rewinding this whole confusing and embarrassing conversation to see if he's understanding things even though he's dumb]

...You... have a... a power, Lily-san?

[techbane]

Yep. Techbane voice.

[justanimitator]

[he still doesn't understand the word 'techbane', but the voice part makes sense. voices are important, like singing.

Len always wanted someone to hear his voice]

...C-- can I hear it?

[techbane]

Uh... that depends. Are you a robot? [SHE'D FEEL GUILTY IF SHE TEMPORARILY BROKE THE KID-WHO-WAS-CRYING-EARLIER]

[justanimitator]

Y-- yes.

Is... is that bad?

[he likes having this body, but he still wishes he was a human. it really was fun being one that week]

[techbane]

No, no. S'just that my power causes glitches in tech... including robots.

[justanimitator]

[!!!!]

I-- I don't like glitches. I still... still have an error log f-- from the bad place...

[techbane]

So it'd probably be better if I didn't demonstrate my power.

[justanimitator]

Oh! Y-- yes.

[not sure if he should feel scared that she can cause errors or guilty that he was asking her about this and probably bothering her]

[techbane]

[NEITHER]

... Come to think of it, I haven't seen you around town, either. Do you just stay out here?

[justanimitator]

I d-- do now.

[techbane]

Why? You under house arrest or something?

[justanimitator]

[...huh?]

I'm not... not under arrest again!

I-- I'm just staying with my... my family.

[techbane]

'Again'? What's that supposed to mean?

[justanimitator]

It... it was j-- just once...

[techbane]

Ahaha! Seriously? I would've never guessed someone like you'd get in trouble with the cops! What'd you do?

[justanimitator]

I-- I don't know! I think... think Miki-san thought I was a-- a different Len.

[techbane]

Ohhh, identity confusion. Yeah, I guess it'd happen once in a while in a place full of multiples.

[justanimitator]

I... guess? Um, M-- Miku-san let me out soon, though...

[...Miku-san]

[techbane]

That's good. I'd hate to imagine what they'd do to a kid like you in prison.
