Case 96 [Voice]

This is weird...

...really, really, REALLY weird. Even for the City.

[Hanna sounds confused, before shouting out loudly into the device, since loud is always better.]

HELLOOOOOoooo...

[Hm. Nothing.]

Seriously, where is everybody? I go to take the garbage out...and all the plants are gone too...so are Iznagi and Lassie and the kids...

It's...really, really creepy. If there's anybody out there, just shout! The aloneness is really sort of scary. In a mental way.

[ooc: Hit with the Lost Not Found curse, and all responses will be voice or video.]

voice; tiny!SHODAN is not helping

What's wrong with you? There are lots of humans here, no matter how much there shouldn't be. So quit being so confused.

voice; She's making it worse xD

No there aren't!! I'm outside right now, there's nobody here!

voice; it's what she does best ^^;

You're worse than a bug! Just tell me where you are, stupid human, and I'll show you!

voice; :) We love her for it.

...'m not stupid...

And I'm wandering around the square, trying to find people! Except it's totally empty!

Helloooo? I'm right at the square now, coming in. Can you see me?

Noo....do you see me? I've got red hair.

Yeah, you're right there.

[She walks up to him and jabs him with a finger.]

[Hanna feels something, and turns around...but there's nobody there.]

I...I know you poked me, but I can't see you.

[She grins now -- this is fun.]

What about this?

[Now she jumps on his back, wrapping her arms and legs around him and holding on.]

If you fall over I can do that shield thing you showed me and you won't get hurt.

Remember me?

Yeah, I'm a kid now!

[She pulls off his glasses and puts them on -- this results in a floating pair of glasses behind him.]

You can't see well. You should get your eyes replaced.

[Well, crap. Now Hanna is basically blind.]

No, I can't. And even if there's nobody for me to see, I'd still like to be able to see where I'm going.

[He can vaguely make out the floating glasses behind him, though, and he laughs.]

I would if I could, believe me. But we can't do that yet back home.

[identity profile] reroutedbrain.livejournal.com 2010-09-12 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do it.

[She sticks the glasses back on his face as best she can.]

I can make cybernetic eyes.

[He moves and adjusts the glasses.]

Thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I think I'm okay with my crappy eyes.

That's why humans are so stupid. Why wouldn't you make yourselves better if you had the chance?

voice

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-09-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno...

Believe me, I would love better eyes. I'd love better lots of things...but I just worry about the consequences, that's all.

Lots of people do it where I come from. One of my jobs as an AI on Citadel Station was to make the machines that cyberized people when they got really hurt, or sick, or just wanted something better. And I can't screw up memories -- hard drive brain, right? -- so I remember how to do it perfectly. Nothing goes wrong.

hmm...maybe I'll talk to you about this more tomorrow. You know, face to face.

Okay! I'll talk to you then.

[She drops off him now, at last.]

Thank you very much! I'll try to actually...you know, SEE you tomorrow.
