[Heard the aftermath ain't so bad for this unit? Right? ...right. So how about lending a hand to the new girl?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Um... hello?

[ Appears a little confused as to whether this person was talking to her, at her, just in general to the room...? ]

[ Roughly pulls his hand away from his neck and exhaling, eyes closed ]

How long have you been awake>

I've been awake for a few hours now. I've met a few people here.

[ Little hesitant pause. ]

That's a really nice design you have on your neck.

[ Immediately slaps a hand on it to cover as much as he can ]

—I would rather not discuss it!

[ Takes one quick step back and glances away. ]

I'm sorry! I didn't realize it was something embarrassing. I'm new here...Baron gave me the name Apple.

Apple?

Well...he gave me an Apple Pie and I didn't want to be called...

[ waving towards her phone to the stupid name she doesn't want to say out loud ]

What name can I call you..?

[ Studying her profile]

I wonder what that is supposed to even mean...

Anyway, I suppose Apple is as good as any. Though our names are typically more lofty.

For example, I am called Okami.

I don't think he thought very hard about the name.

[ On hindsight, she probably should have protested a little more. ]

Okami is a very nice name! Have you been here for very long?

Hmm, there is a variety of Apple known as Ambrosia. Perhaps that would be more be more fitting.

Ah, it was actually chosen by this place. But I appreciate the sound of it. I have been told it means wolf in Japanese, the language of the city this place is based on. I have been here since the beginning.

Oh. Ambrosia sounds really pretty. I wonder...

[ slightly hesitant ]

I wonder if people would call me that.

[ but then a large smile at the explanation of the name ]

That means you would know everything about this place. Is it really...hell?

Well, I would gladly call you that. It suits our sophisticated aesthetic.

And I would not say everything. But I do maintain close ties with those who know more than others. As to whether this place is hell, that appears to be the conceit.

I better fit into the unit aesthetic in that case!

[ not a drop of sophistication in these bones ]

Then I know who I can come to if I wanted to find out anything else..? I've found out so much already today. A lot of it sounds too crazy to be true.

What is the most difficult to believe?

That... we're all in hell and we all have fans...

...who like to watch us die..?

Sometimes they root for our success. The fans are truly complicated. They are lost souls.

Oh! So they don't all want us to die...

That sounds a little less horrible. I want to do my best to help this unit.

I would not say that either. It is more I am unsure they recognize what they want anymore.

And you came to that conclusion rather suddenly.

[ very decisive nod, regardless ]

After I talked to Baron and Sol this morning and finding out... all that information and then you told me that some of our fans do root for us...

I feel like I should work hard. For all of us.

Well, if that is what you wish to put your mind to, I can only encourage it.

And everyone been so welcoming to me even though I woke up knowing nothing. I need to make sure I make all of your efforts worth it.

Especially you for finding me such a wonderful name.

[ Tail wag at the praise ]

I am glad it is to your liking. Have you examined our information brochure yet? It covers many essential details about this place that are not immediately clear upon simple interaction.

I did have a quick read through! But also Sol and Baron have been really nice and telling me a lot of things about this place.

Even though some of the stuff is really hard to ...

[ a little sigh... ]

...get my head around. I hope everybody stays safe.

Safety is one of the many things we cannot guarantee. We can only do our best.

Do our best and protect each other.

[ That's the underlying theme of every conversation today! ]

And once we all work hard enough we can go home. That's the goal, isn't it?
