(frontdated a few days)

1. The emergence ended with a quarantine for both Walt and the mysterious being. A few days later, Unity Group's scientists announce that both of them are clear from anything dangerous or contagious.

 You can see Walt wandering in the base's infirmary in a hospital robe. What's he doing?

"I'm in despair! Automatic coffee dispenser had left me in despair!"

Yep, he's yelling in front of a coffee machine..


2. The men in white robes have declared that the mysterious being is harmless, and currently it's being held in a room somewhere in Alhambra. And they say it's clear for visit, in between their research on it.  Do you want to visit it?

Automatic coffee machine? ... Why?

Re: 1

[dolorous_sensei]

The way human easily substituted the art of coffee making for automated, mechanized coffee-making device has left me in despair!

[star_of_sad]

Somehow it feels like we had this conversation before.

Are you alright?

[dolorous_sensei]

Why wouldn't I?

[star_of_sad]

It's not every day that, well...

Something like what happened, happens.

[Hetepheres enters and watches the creature. And that's all. She just watches, for now.]

The mysterious being is huddling on the corner of a bed. It covers itself with blanket, and seems to have made makeshift cloak and face-covering from the bedsheets.

As you watch, it's tracing the bed with its fingers with childlike wonder. Every bumps and creases seems to interest it greatly.

[abugslife]

Can you understand me? I would like to ask you some questions.

[dolorous_sensei]

*The mysterious being raises its head and stares at Hephetheres. It tilts its head curiously.*

...understand? ...questions?

*It repeats Hetepheres' words. But it seems surprised at each words it says itself. It repeats them again.

...understand. ...questions.

...understand! questions!

*It opens and closes its mouth again and again. Sometimes it makes noise, sometime it doesn't. But does it actually understand your questions?*

Each words from you seems to make it winces.

It obviously struggles for a while, before finally saying something.

"...friend."

[brought_it_back]

I do not believe you.

[She takes a step closer towards the glass separating the two.]

Elaborate.

Re: 2

[dolorous_sensei]

It traces the glass with its fingers, trying to touch you, and it seems surprised that it can't.

...ela...borate?

*It repeats your words. It seems surprised at its own voice. It opens and closes its mouth a couple of times, before saying the word again.*

...elaborate.

*It then winces hard. It obviously struggles. Finally it says some things.*

...friend! ...help!

[Oh hey. This is a trip down memory lane.]

... Haven't you done this reaction before? Or is it for a different reason this time?

Re: 1

[dolorous_sensei]

As long as human still easily substitutes the art of coffee making for automated, mechanized coffee-making device, I'll always be in despair.

[empress_without_a_throne]

Then I guess that means you've recovered from the... thing that happened to your arm then.

No eyes left on your arm, right?

[dolorous_sensei]

Hahaha. Thing? What thing?

[not_a_prize]

Uh... I could punch it if it makes you feel better.

Re: 1)

[dolorous_sensei]

The way youngsters nowadays always try to solve everything with violence also left me in despair!

[not_a_prize]

[Peola winces a little. Yeah she could feel it hanging around him like a foul stench.]

And I'm guessing you're also in despair because your pants are missing?

[dolorous_sensei]

Pants are both overrated and depressing.

Back to normal already?

Re: 1

[dolorous_sensei]

I'm always normal.

[cloningblues]

Well, that last event that happened to you was rather... traumatic.

[dolorous_sensei]

You mean Denzel and Rayleigh's death? Yes, it was sad, but I'm quite used to it by now...
