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!]

O I C

[justanimitator]

I haven't f-- felt well s-- since the bad place...

[this would be his attempt at an explanation, though Len's honestly a bit surprised at his outburst too]

:'x

[techbane]

Bad place...? [WHAT KIND OF ALTERNATE DIMENSION DID SHE LAND IN AUGH]

[justanimitator]

[it's usually a very nice place! we have waffles and everything]

B-- blood, and... and I thought I was in the computer again, a-- and..

[looks like he's going to start crying again]

[techbane]

That... sounds kinda creepy. Maybe it was just a bad nightmare.

[justanimitator]

Neru-san t-- thought so too, but I... I think it was one of the, um, 'events'.

B-- but scary...

[techbane]

Neru's a bitch. [the one she knew, anyways] She was probably messing with you.

- Wait, I mean, disregard that. [events...?] So does stuff like that happen on a regular basis?

[justanimitator]

[looks faintly surprised at that word]

Oh... um, I think so? B-- before I got my body and came here it was... kitty cats? A-- and an RPG...

[and here he smiles very slightly]

T-- then for a week, humans were... were robots and robots were humans.

[techbane]

Ahaha, man, that last one would've totally sucked for me. I dunno if I'd still have the techbane voice as a robot, but damn! That musta been fun.

[justanimitator]

'Techbane'?

It... it was!

[techbane]

Eh, it's no big deal if you aren't a robot.

Tch, figures I'd miss all the excitement.

[justanimitator]

[good job distracting him from the bad memories, Lily]

I-- if you are a robot... it's um, a 'big deal'?

[techbane]

[awwwyiss :|b]

Yeaaah... the robot Lily could probably explain.

[justanimitator]

You... um, can't?

[techbane]

Let's just say that I help Tech Support get more business.

[justanimitator]

T-- that sounds like, um, a nice thing to do?

[techbane]

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]
