imeeji_frontstage | Back to the Future... is now

[Once she's properly inside]

Not wearing the armor?

No.

[ she's feeling weirdly claustrophobic in it and she's only 25% sure she knows why. ]

...though I regret not bringing a stick... or my seeing eye cat.

[Grabs her wrist then]

I'm taking you to my lab. Keep up.

Yep.

[ she'll keep up no problem. ]

[Into the lab they go then, Intensity leading her all the way to the floating chair before pressing her palm against it so she knows it's there]

I've only made one set of eyes before.

One had a camera with a touch sensor located near the temple. Could take pictures if you tapped it.

So I can do that for you. Or anything else you can think of.

[ she manages to maneuver herself into it, sighing as soon as she doesn't have to move anymore. stationary she can do. ]

That's part of why I wanted to talk here. Do you know if tech works in Heaven or Hell Level 2 or whatever you want to call it? Because a camera could be pre~tty useful. [ sits back in the seat trying to think of something else and immediately remembers nine talking about lasers, but that's... that's probably not a good idea... ]

Phones didn't. Haven't got to test any of the other tech obviously. Since I don't think anyone had it on them at the time.

If you'd like to test it, then why not now. It'll be inconspicuous, yeah?

But, ah, [ fumbling for her phone and then, oh, right... ] Here. [ throws it his way??? ] I took a picture with the new host if you'd like to add it to your file or whatever. I'm assuming you spoke to her too? Aaaand I'll keep you posted, but I'm hoping she hits me up at some point. [ yes, she was flirting with the host. ] Need to keep trying to get info and the like.

[Sends the selfie to his own phone. He'll print and make copies of it on his ancient copy machine later]

I did. Briefly.

What did you get out of her?

Her name, Hadassah. I try to snap a selfie with all of the hosts. I might have another on there, but I'm not sure. [ she can't remember if she got the girl running the balloon game. ] But I didn't want it to seem like I was just there for the information, especially not when people like you and Silence were already slinging questions her way.

But she said giving out a number in her department was unheard of, but that she's ~*~special~*~, so I'd just have to wait and see.

Yes.

She's apparently from Talent Acquisition. Friend of Pythia's. So we can assume higher up than Exael potentially. And definitely higher than Left.

The sudden influx in Heaven hosts is--- alarming.

Huh, but that makes sense, especially considering she'd made a comment about her being fun and then me being fun. Need to keep things in~ter~est~ing I guess.

I should have asked her about Graduation. Asmodeus complained about Pythia's people during one them. Oh, and don't forget Astrael. She's from Heaven too.

Hm~~~ How many graduations have happened and what were the decisions on those again?

A member of AlcheME!, Taisho, and pep!pep! accepted Pythia's offer. We assume that they are back home safe and sound. One of them sends fanmail from time to time.

A member of Taisho, SensitIV! and ZRAEL chose Asmodeus's offer. That kissing game - those were the members of Taisho and SensitIV! So that's apparently how that side gets new hosts.

I don't know how Heaven decides.

oh. [ can she spin in this chair? if so, she's totally spinning in this chair. ] I thought the results may have been skewed to one side, but they're cut right down the middle. I wonder if Heaven's got to compensate for Hell basically getting a free judge out of every idol that stays back. And, who knows, maybe our new "friend" doesn't just work in idol recruitment.

Aaaanyway I'll let you know if I hear from Hadassah. [ sits up a bit straighter. ] Besides cameras what else could you even put into an eye?

[It floats. It spins.

Just don't make yourself dizzy]

What do you want to put in an eye? If it's purchasable from the point shop, I can try to add it in. Camera just seems like the most obvious choice.

Something else like -- infrared vision. GPS. Compass. Or perhaps a light source, though most would probably find that a little creepy.

[ she's not going to spin much, because it's fucking her up. ]

... [ she looks confused until he starts talking again. ] Not sure I'd want a camera in my head unless I needed it. Like if we ever get a chance to go there [ points up. ] or there. [ points down. ]

[ infrared... h- hm. she's not sure she'd like to see heat signatures. b- bit too personal. ] Heh, probably a bit.

Night vision could be cool.

I could make you some jewelry with camera functionality? That's also doable.

As for night vision -- are you thinking something other than infrared?

[ she takes a minute to think all of this through. if she's going to go forward with this, then there's no point in holding back. might as well see how much stuff he can cram into them, especially if she'd like to make use of it all later. ]

Do you think infrared is something that'll be super useful? And, nah, it's fine. In the eye is... it'll be easier. Hopefully less obvious too? But maybe some sort of zoom and enhance functionality too? Think all that's doable? If so, feel free to buy the stuff on my phone, since I won't be able to navigate the shop.

If you ever don't like the implants, we can either make you new eyes or replace them with normal human eyeballs.

[You can hear him rummaging around on his phone]

Base price is 1000 points for the two eyes.

Camera would be 200 per eye. Basic digital camera. If you want zoom and enhance, you'll have to walk me through what kind of user interface you want on that -- something like blink twice.

Infrared another 150 per eye. Don't know how useful it would be. I don't know how often you get stuck in the dark.

Blink once to take a picture. Er, maybe not blink, but... I wink a lot, so that's not going to look too suspicious, and I should be able to get a good number of pictures for... whatever. Zoom and enhance, that's fine. Blink twice. Don't want to over-complicate things.

[ 1400. ]

I guess it could be neat to have at night. It's not like it'll be on all the time. And if it works in conjunction with the camera, then [ she gives him a thumbs up. ]

[ 1700. ]

But what do I owe you? [ looking at him? hopefully?? ]

I don't charge for injuries that carry outside of game.

1700. Cost of materials.

SensitIV's fee is usually 300. Do you have a favorite White Mage in mind?

You don't want anything?

Alright... let's do it.

Leviathan or Lucifel.

[Picks up her phone and starts perusing the point shop, purchasing what he needs]

It'll take me a few minutes to make. Do you want to wait here or in the main room with the others?

[ hm. guess that's a no. ]

I can wait a few minutes.

[The ding of something being purchased]

I'll be right back. Have to pick up the materials.
