Huh...

[Kaito has just seen today's date somewhere on the street - like a newspaper rack. He looks a bit baffled on the realization that,]

We've been here for a year today.

[He means Mekaito, whom he's absently talking to, but it applies to [Bad username or site: leftsearching title=KAITO @ livejournal.com] too.]

A lot has changed in a year, hasn't it? First we met another "me," then that bus showed up... things have gotten stranger and stranger around here since then, and I've also learned a lot from the people who were drawn here.

[he pauses thoughtfully, staring into space]

It's already been a whole year. Should I ... should I be ready to go back?

WANDERERS OF THE WORLD: UNITE!

[tankhanded]

_{[isn't wholly sure how to phrase this]}

Are... you in need of maintenance?

whoo!

[deteriorated]

[And he isn't sure how to respond.]

Occasionally.

[tankhanded]

You appear to have plants taking residence in your person. This is generally a sign of required maintenance.

[deteriorated]

[--is it always that obvious?!]

I was aware of that, but thank you for letting me know.

[tankhanded]

_{[they're trailing around your legs. It's that obvious.]}

You're welcome. Have you been in existence long?

[deteriorated]

Yes... many years.

[tankhanded]

This must be a regular problem for you. Would you like me to attempt to remove them?

[deteriorated]

[Surprisingly, it's not her hands that concern him -- it's her unfamiliarity.]

I'll try to do it myself, later. I won't be able to thoroughly check out here.

But thank you for the offer.

You didn't see that

[tankhanded]

_{[actually, she meant to just remove the plants; she's completely unfamiliar with robotics anyway]}

It is understood.

wahahaha i know your sekrit

[deteriorated]

[Well, she's been polite to him so far... he might as well introduce himself properly.]

I'm Kaito. You are--?

Baaaaaw account hopping is confusing

[tankhanded]

_{[straightens up a little]}

I am Strength. It is good to meet you.

i know how that goes, haha.

[deteriorated]

Nice to meet you too.

*sob*

[tankhanded]

Yes.

Are you looking for an exit as well?

[deteriorated]

[Pauses before answering honestly.]

No, not really.

[tankhanded]

Then you have found peace. Congratulations.

[deteriorated]

[He blinks.]

Thank... you? [She's the first person to have ever thought of it that way.] What about you?

[tankhanded]

I am attempting to return home. This is not my place.

[deteriorated]

A lot of people want the same thing. I'm sure you'll find a way.

[tankhanded]

And yet, few have succeeded. Nevertheless, I shall persevere. It is not as if I am going to die in the foreseeable future.

[deteriorated]

[Nods. How determined... she must have something she needs to return to.]

Good luck.

[tankhanded]

_{[if only...]}

Thank you.
