video; un: nines - 7/9

[twoaffirmations]

This is YoRHa Unit 9S reporting in.

How is everyone doing today? I'm sure you're all still pretty tired.

[9S is at the center of the screen, an exhausted smile on his face. He never needed sleep, but the music alone had been enough to incessantly pull him out of his own thoughts, and aggravate what patience he had left. There was a sizable dent in his wall where he'd hit it, visible just over his shoulder.

But now that he could think clearly, he finally saw something that only he, as an android, could do. That realization left him with an odd spark of inspiration. Just sitting here, doing nothing around his creators had been so boring... He wasn't going to let this chance slip by.]

That's why I'd like to offer my assistance to everyone here. If you need any errands done, I'll take care of them for you. I mean...a lack of sleep does cause motor functions and cognitive abilities to deteriorate, so it's really for your own safety.

Anywayyy... [He takes in a deep breath and sighs.] Yeah!

I look forward to providing you support.

[9S raises his left hand to his chest in a salute.] Glory to Mankind!

[ ooc: if your character asks 9S to complete a task, I'll migrate to action with him either meeting your character with it completed, or to work on it. whatever works best! feel free to contact me at danderly ]

[She feels tired still, but jennifer's used to feeling tired and worn. She just smiles faintly at the video (such a strange little thing) and at 9S]

That's an interesting salute. [Glory to mankind??] And thank you, 9S. This is very sweet of you, but... shouldn't you be resting too?

[twoaffirmations]

[At least she's smiling. That makes 9S feel even more determined. When she calls him sweet, he feels heat rise to his cheeks.]

Oh, don't worry about me! We androids don't require sleep. The music was more irritating than anything.

[theunluckygirl]

I'm afraid I can't help but worry. [She smiles apologetically.]

But I'd feel bad asking you to do so much... What sort of things do you like doing? [A pause and she adds, as the question just occurred to her:] What did you used to do where you're from?

[twoaffirmations]

[She's so thoughtful...! He's definitely going to do his best to help her.]

No need to worry, it's my duty. [But being asked what he likes doing throws him for a loop.] It's not really about what I want, you know?

I specialize in recon. Whether it's scouting ahead, hacking, or just gathering information that's lying around.

I get assigned boring errands all the time.

[theunluckygirl]

But... you should enjoy what you do too, at least a little. A-at least, that's what I think... Otherwise, then what's the point...?

[She trails off and then winces a little at herself.] I'm sorry. I shouldn't really be questioning you. It's your decision, after all.

[twoaffirmations]

Er-- No...it's fine? Humans are naturally curious creatures. That's the defining trait I was modeled after, you know.

[He smiles a bit wryly.]

Boring isn't bad. Sometimes the most boring jobs are the most important, but they're still boring.

[theunluckygirl]

Yes, but... I wouldn't want you to get upset with me for asking too many... [Jennifer twists her fingers together anxiously, looking uncertain]

But it's not like anyone's forcing you to take boring jobs here ether. You could... do whatever you wanted, couldn't you?

[twoaffirmations]

I won't get upset! I'm happy to help, Miss Jennifer. Really.

[He doesn't know how else to put it. He just wants...to do something? He wants to help. Especially after the music had driven everyone to the brink of their sanity.]

You need your rest, I don't.

[theunluckygirl]

If you say so. [She trails off and then smiles a bit sheepishly]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm still getting used to the, um... androids thing. I suppose there's a lot you don't need that humans do. It's really... an envious sort of thing... I wish I were more like you.

[twoaffirmations]

[That's not the first time he's heard that sentiment, but even considering the circumstances, he finds it hard to understand.]

Sure, I don't need sleep, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. We have a lot of duties you humans don't. Not that I'm not proud to fulfill them, but still!

You get to do whatever you want... You should be proud to be who you are.

[theunluckygirl]

[Jennifer laughs softly and smiles]

But, the same could be said for you, couldn't it? I'm afraid I don't understand the difference between androids and humans very much, besides the obvious. But there's no one here to tell you who or what to be.

I'm gonna hit up her log, so /thread?

[twoaffirmations]

[There's no one here to tell you who or what to be.
That's just it. He feels aimless, but of course he won't let Jennifer know that.]

Haha, yeah... I guess you're right. Well if you think of anything, just let me know.
