[ hello again normie human being. hulkenberg can be found sitting at one of the bars, simply... watching the going ons of the place, as opposed to drinking anything. she has a hand at her chin while a robot whirrs on by, eyes tracking it. ]
... I suppose such things are also strange for you to see? [ along with nonhumans. weird!!! ]
[ testing that out thoughtfully, frown small but not upset. what a weird vacation this is. ]
No, such things do not exist in Euchronia - at least not that I have encountered. 'Tis only the members of the tribes, the fauna and simple beasts, and various monsters.
... Could be. No idea how, but even people who know about my home seem to have a totally different idea of what it's like. Like we got pulled into some freaky alternate dimension, or something weird like that.
A commonality? I dunno... Hearing about any kind of "vacation package" was a huge novelty in itself. I didn't think anything like that still existed in Japan...
Japan... [ her canonpoint has no references to japan yet. but she's filing that away. ] I had thought that my companion and I were bid to take this trip on behalf of our captain, but now... less so, after hearing more from others like yourself.
I think I am not much for the concept of a "vacation," otherwise.
[ as she steps into the hotel lobby and sees kiruko, hulkenberg feels a bit of a pang for her. it's worry, after how the end of things went, and seeing her stand with her weapon at the ready. ]
Kiruko. How are you doing, after that? You did well to stand your ground - but it took something to do, did it not?
[ that's valid. kiruko was just kind of zoned out with a heavy expression, but seems to come back into the present a bit when hulkenberg speaks. ]
... I'm all right. Not really my first time dealing with stuff like this...
[ a little hesitation. and an exhale. ] ... We shared a room for the past week. I know that doesn't mean we know each other really well or anything, but...
I don't know what to think about it... like, I think you have to be a little bit nuts to go out and kill two people without warning. But I don't think she was totally off her rocker. We know there's gotta be something causing all these accidents...
[ she looks away at that, brow furrowing with a little scowl. ]
Things have been peculiar since our arrival, I cannot dispute it, but... 'tis maddening to think that this is the solution, especially after seeing Justice die in such a way.
... I think there has to be a solution. If we can't just wait it out, and we can't appease Death like Nathalie thought, then... something else. We have to come up with something else.
... there must be places that we have no access to that they do. Surely so - they go elsewhere, yes? They take our dead away with them, and we have yet to be able to follow them to their end destination.
Nevermind that we only gained access to the biomes after some time. 'Tis a large city, but it cannot be all there is.
Uh... yeah. [ fair. ] So, there are these devices that can record images of things that are happening in front of them. And while they're doing that, you can watch those images from far away.
So like, if we planted a camera on a robot, we could see what the robot sees, while watching it all from a room in the hotel.
Maybe. I'm used to stuff like that not working, but everything here is in pretty good repair... If there's an electronics store, it might have what we need.
[ well. after three hours of swan chaos, hulkenberg is taking some downtime to... sort of just stare out at the waves from her spot on the beach. she's got a picnic basket of food next to her as she does some late night watching, but she's not partaking in them - it seems mostly like she's keeping watch, rather than truly relaxing?
there's a little ear twitch on both sides when she hears footsteps, tilting her head to look back at whoever has come to join her. seeing it's kiruko, she offers a slight smile, and just. pats the seat next to her? ]
Some late night fresh air, Kiruko? Would you like to join me?

The robot? They're pretty rare, where I'm from. Most of them stopped working years ago.
[ comes over to lean on the counter and peek at the rows of booze behind it. ]
You?

I am starting to think that something... strange has happened outside of us, that so few have heard of one another's homes.

If you do not mind my asking, what did your invitation say? If you recall. Perhaps there is a commonality.

You said you have a captain? You part of some kind of crew?

It counts, I think. 'Tis still a week living with one another, familiarising yourself with personalities and habits, things like that - still a shock.

or the robots. definitely not the robots. ] Do you think we would be able to find them in the many stores, here..? It sounds like a marvellous idea.
