Then I guess I'll keep you! ;D

I bet you're way cuter anyway

Flattery.

I have to go. I'll send you something later.

Not flattery if it's true ~~~

Okay, work hard!

Had a visitor!!!!!

[Attached: delta1.pic, which is a very rough sketch of Delta in profile. Wrath is pretty impressive at this.]

[ It's a little while before he gets a chance to open her latest message but when he receives it he finds somewhere out of the way to answer, mainly because his grin is so wide it's kind of embarrassing. Delta is immediately recognizable in the sketch and he knows this is her just showing the most rudimentary of her skills. ]

That's incredible! Does it work as well as he promised?

It does!!!!!! It's so amazing North I can do anything with this.

See?

[Attached: northsstupidface.pic

Which is a very rough sketch of North and that smile of his that Wrath said was her favorite last night. Definitely not stupid. She even tries a few little smudges of color here and there.]

Still trying to figure out the pressure vs brush thickness and type it's really tricky and interesting.

(Can't wait to use this thing when I have a hand too but this is awesome already!)

And Delta was super nice I think we're friends now. So you'd better make him a pie OK? :)

[ He doesn't comment on the picture itself but he definitely spends more time grinning about it and he definitely saves it. ]

If this is you not knowing what you're doing yet, I can't wait to see how you do with it once you figure more of that stuff out.

Delta's a great guy. I have to find out what kind of thing he likes and I'll make him something soon. He deserves some repayment for doing this.

[ Though he's not going to say anything about his and Delta's interpersonal disagreements. He's still trying to figure out what that was when he saw his sister's distorted image in the reflection of Wrath's traction brackets.

Following the last text comes a string of picture file attachments:

Aw you're so sweet haha <3 just a hobby!

I could try to find out when he visits me again. I'm really sneaky. :D But he definitely deserves a thank you and so do you. You guys didn't have to do this and it was really nice of you.

Delta seems like the kind of person who really likes helping people. I'm really glad you have such good friends.

[The pictures make her happy and maybe a little teary-eyed.]

Haha look at those recruits you must be working them super hard. Good!!!

Whiskey looks so much happier on base I'm glad he joined up. And wow Tex is cool. I can't wait to meet her for real. And she has Gloria!!! That's awesome.

Wow Theta looks so young, like your little brother. <3 He has such a sweet smile.

[ Since it's too early to knock off work his texts take a while to come, but come they do. ]

He's going to visit again? That's nice. I'm glad you were able to make friends.

He does like to help. He often reminds people that's what he was made for.

I don't think Theta looks much like me. I've always wondered where they get these bodies for the AIs.

[Honestly, Wrath is surprised he's been able to answer as much as he has, and very gratified. If she was him she'd probably be using the downtime to take cat naps or something. But... North is probably a much better friend than her.]

Yeah, he's going to show me some holograms he's made. If my address file in my data reader is still okay I promised to get him in contact with an artist I met that works in the medium. He was pretty excited. :)

Live to serve, right? It's not so different. He's a really good listener too.

Well not like you in that sense. Nose is all wrong, just... none of the facial features. I mean more in the age spread. Though he does have a cute smile like you~

[ He's impressed she hit it off with Delta so well—but then again, she seems to hit it off with everyone. ]

I hope he enjoys it. It's interesting, I never knew he did art.

Theta's in about a fifteen-year-old's body, we think. I'm glad they didn't put him in a little kid's body. That would have caused him a lot of trouble.

I think he didn't really think of it as art. But I told him that if he's making pictures or projections, it's aesthetically informed by his experiences, which does make it important because he's a good and interesting person.

[And this is probably the secret of Wrath's success. She is genuinely interested in people.]

Yeah, that would be weird cause I know you said he's not really a kid like that. So it'd be weird. I'm thinking about the bodies, well... I mean they grow new organs for people and stuff. I guess they could grow bodies? But that's really creepy.

...oh. Speaking of creepy. I met a really weird nurse yesterday. I wasn't going to say anything but I just. I don't know. Still feel weird about it.

[ There's another long gap between responses but he wanted to be sure to be able to pay attention to this bit of the conversation. ]

I've been told the cloning tech here isn't up to that level. But maybe they have more than one method.

What was weird about them?

They say a lot of things. Who knows.

Well it was this nurse I've never seen before. He called himself Nurse Frank. I thought maybe he was a new transfer. I joked with him about the stripper ban and then the conversation got kind of weird? And ended with him talking about knife play in bed and rubber. Which. I know some people like but nurses don't really talk like that and I don't know. Made me feel weird.

So I asked him what kind of nurse he was and he kind of bullshitted me. Then I asked if he was from compliance because I don't know. He didn't say no. He just said what was it. "is there a reason compliance would want to see you?"

I didn't feel good. And I started talking because i don't know i guess I was freaked out. that's really dumb. why did I start talking? god i'm stupid.

but anyway he said he was just joking then. and i told him to leave so he did. susannah didn't find him after. cause i tried calling for help before. but... i don't know.

it was weird. i didn't like it.

i feel so dumb about it now. about all of it. i hope that nurse doesn't come back. i can't even kick his ass right now i hate how fucking useless i am.

Edited (sorry content modification) 2014-11-11 05:58 (UTC)

shit sorry i didn't mean to be so negative. sorry. seriously i'm okay and so is everything here.

Don't apologize, he gave you every reason to be freaked out and uncomfortable and if I'd been there he'd have ended up with a broken arm or something.

If you ever see him again you let me know. Or was he wearing a mask?

[Should she feel better that North would break someone's arm for her? Definitely. She feels very loved. It's only fair, since she'd totally kill someone for him, and not just because they're in the Wolves together.]

He wasn't wearing a mask. I'd definitely recognize him again.

I wonder if I could draw him well enough. Probably not worth it. I hope he doesn't come back.

Okay I kind of hope he gets fired actually because he was the worst nurse ever.

Draw him anyway. If he's someone who wasn't supposed to be there I'm sure they'll want to keep an eye out for him. I would too.

True. Maybe he was some kind of pervert or something. That's like only shit he talked about. Weirdo. Gross.

Still working hard? :)

I took a little break but I better get back into it. Message you back when I'm done?

Work hard! I believe in you! :)

[ He waits until the last of the shooting trials are through before he opens a feed as he walks out to his hover cycle. ]

Hey, you.

North? Hey, you! Are you done for the day?

[And he's taking the time to call her!]

Done working, yeah. I've got other things to take care of but I figured I'd give you a quick call before I have to head home.

Hope you kicked an appropriate amount of ass.

Thank you. Really. [Hesitates. Oh is she allowed to say this? Well, fuck it, it's the honest thing and certainly what she feels.] I missed you.
