[I, Pixi, smooch them on the forehead

Kaveh does not, tragically. Instead, he's investigating the subway station! Wandering around, more precisely, with Mehrak projecting something next to him that mostly just looks like a bunch of lines.]

Fascinating...

[ a shame, the reaction would have been so funny.

though... huh? hello? Setsu can't help their own curiosity, drawn to Mehrak. they come closer but do not reach out to touch or anything like that. simply observing from where they stand. ]

Is that an AI?

[I will raincheck a drunken forehead smooch for later

For now, though--Kaveh looks up, then shakes his head.]

Oh--no. At least, not quite, from what I understand. [He learned what AI was, but only kind of.] This is my toolbox, Mehrak.

[Mehrak says ^_^]

[ notes this down ]

A toolbox? Does it help you with repairs..?

[ oh... Setsu offers it a small wave. ]

[Mehrak beep-boops cheerfully in response.]

Sometimes. I'm an architect, so I don't usually do repairs--renovations, occasionally, but my specialty is design.

An architect... I see, your profile did mention architecture under the skills line.

[ hmm, the information they've learned from the phone does seem to be supporting this. ] Were you inspecting the design of the tunnels then?

[UGH... THE PROFILES. He grimaces at the thought and decidedly chooses not to comment on it.]

Oh, no--well, yes, in a way, but not the way I normally would. No, I'm just trying to put a map together. I was hoping it might help us figure out a way out of here. [Which it... has not. And probably won't, from the investigating he's done so far. But he started it, and he's too restless and stressed to not do something, so.]

[ that's fair. some of the things listed are.... ]

A map? That would be pretty convenient. [ me just assuming that their phones don't have maps. un.. unless they do?? ]

It would be good to find a way out, but.. there seems to be some sort of barrier in place.

[I checked out of curiosity AND THEY DON'T but hilariously even if they did Kaveh would be making his own anyway. Pls. His AutoCAD.

But he sighs, and nods.]

Yes, I haven't found any doors or gaps anywhere. I'm not sure how much we'll need a map if we're stuck in such a small area, but... it can't hurt to have on hand.

[ it's best this way. kaveh can give everyone a map like a good bean. ]

There's also a possibility more will open up once we actually form teams.

[Will he be that nice...

But, hmmm. He looks thoughtful at that.]

Like a reward for completing the task, you mean? I suppose they did mention housing.

Something like that. Maybe more will come up as we proceed through tasks.

[ which, curiously ] Have you considered anyone you'd like to team up with yet?

I hope so.

[The reward is DEATH.

Kaveh nods.]

Nahida and I have already spoken to one person--we're still considering the last, but I have an idea of what she's looking for.

[And as long as he can find people who will help him look out for her, he'll deal with anything else tbh.]

[ death for me? ]

Ah, Nahida. I know Rang Lee said that she would be someone he could consider teaming up with.

[ how does that make you feel, kaveh. ]

[This conversation happens on Saturday but otherwise the answer would be "over my dead body"]

Oh? Hmm. We've only really spoken once, so I'm not quite sure what to make of him.

He reminds me of someone from my own world. Which, I can say I also don't know what to make of him, but probably worth keeping a close eye on.

[ oblivious to the future shenanigans... ]

You think so? [Hmmm.] He did seem rather confident that he would get out of here.

Really? I'm sure my own fate won't change back in my world whether I'm dead or erased here but... I wonder what it is for him.
