Hi there! You've reached Aoba Seragaki. I can't pick up right now, but leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Comments

voicemail; idk why he would leave him a message and not just go find him but w/e doing it anyway!!

[pomerenian]

Aoba. I would like to train with you.

because he's a silly dog

[vocalizer]

Eh? Train?

you're a silly dog!!!

[pomerenian]

Roger. The Initiative encouraged training the sentient weapons we receive upon arrival. I would like to train.

rude!

[vocalizer]

[ That's right, he got his boots, and Ren got... ]

Hold on a minute, Ren! Don't you already know how to use a weapon like that?

[ With Rhyme and all. A pause. ]

Or is it different because it's a body the Initiative gave you?

the rudest!

[pomerenian]

I have not attempted to utilize it yet, so I'm unclear on any differences. However I have only ever fought by being given instruction. I would like to learn to fight independently.

[vocalizer]

If that's the case then are you sure you want to train with me there?

[pomerenian]

[...That's a good point. He's just too used to being at Aoba's side all the time. It's a good chance to exercise independence, but...]

...You're right. Please forget about it.

[vocalizer]

[ Somehow... Ren managed to make Aoba feel guilty with that response, even though Aoba's sure he didn't mean to. ]

It's not that I mind helping you train, but I've never actually taught anyone how to fight before, and I'm not sure how good I'd be at it. Besides, if it's anything like your Rhyme body then everything you can do is way beyond my skills anyway.

[pomerenian]

[He definitely didn't mean to. He's just not used to the freedom of being his own person yet.]

The appearance is the same, but I have not tested any attacks. However, would it not be beneficial for you to train as well, Aoba? It is something we could do together, or... I do not mind finding another person to train with, but I feel I would inconvenience them.

[Not that it's okay to inconvenience Aoba but!! He has more experience with Ren so it's different.]

[vocalizer]

[ A nervous laugh. He really hasn't tested his weapon out at all even though he's been wearing them around everywhere he goes. ]

Ah, that's true. I don't mind training with you, Ren. Just go easy on me, okay?

[ He doesn't want to get blasted by him. ]

[pomerenian]

[See, Aoba, he's looking out for you by making you train with him! Or something like that. They probably won't evolve just from wearing them anyway.]

Roger, I will do my best to avoid it. It is not my intention to injure you.

[ he's not sure if this will work because it seems everything around here is messed up and gone to shit. ]

Aoba it's Koujaku. How are things going there?

[vocalizer]

I'm as fine as I can be all things considered.

[coiffeur]

This isn't some common occurrence is it?
I have a feeling something's going on.
Are you in your room? Ren's there too right?

text

[vocalizer]

Yeah, he is.
And I'm not really sure. We haven't actually been on the moon that long, and sometimes we've got problems with the lights, but it's never lasted this long before.

[coiffeur]

The atmosphere around here is thicker and tenser than usual.
Just be on guard alright? Trust your instincts and stay inside.
I'll stop by later and text you any important updates.

text

[vocalizer]

Hold on a second!
If you're worried about that, then there's no reason you should be walking around outside either.
I'll be fine. Just stay where you are, okay?

text

[coiffeur]

I'm not going out unless I have to.
I'll be fine and I have my sword with me.
I survived a zombie invasion, so that earns me some credibility I'd think.

text

[vocalizer]

There's no need to push your luck a second time.

[coiffeur]

It's good to heard you care, Aoba.
But don't worry, I'll keep safe.

[coiffeur]

[ a few minutes later. ]

Did you see the post on the network?

[vocalizer]

[ There's silence on his end for a bit while he tries to mess with it, and gets nowhere. ]

Something doesn't seem right about this...

[coiffeur]

And I can't make a post.
Looks like they're disabling functions.
I'll come over there.
If things get worse, it'll be harder for me to get to you later.

[khajidont]

[Slightly backdated to earlier on the 26th.]
If you're getting this, you wanted to know more about the clones. I'm going to tell the network what I know soon, but here's a copy of my notes.

[Attached is this document.]

[firstroar]

I have the Transporter coordinates you need: 3171.x2.13

AI is prepped for travel as well, and should be waiting in one of the drives by the computers.

Be safe.
