Divia couldn’t pinpoint why, but that staff and clothing made her incredibly wary. She dropped out of her tree, landing almost uncomfortably close to the woman, staring her down as though evaluating how quickly she’d be able to kill her. Her right hand stayed near her knife, the glyph on the back gleaming softly, ready to be unleashed at a moments notice if she had to.
“Who are you?”
She asked somewhat unsteadily. Her voice sounded cold and uncomfortable with the words, like somebody who either learned the language as a second or third, or just didn’t talk much.
English
-
[i]"Do you need one? I can straight up fund you for doing some shit for me." [/i]
-
“Yes. What sort of shit?”
-
[i]"General shit. I need a hand, you come help." [/i]
-
“I agree to those terms.” She says, coldly and focused on the city, eyes flickering back and forth over its streets and houses.
-
[i]"Cool. Also, you mind telling me what I can call you?" [/i]
-
“Divia, Betrachter, Nazir, Mirumono, aanschouwer, Sakshay, spectateur, paratritis, ochevidets,” She stops. “I think it’s one of those. Or maybe all of them. Maybe none of them.”
-
[i]"Let's just roll with Divia, aight?" [/i]
-
“Agreed. It sounds the most likely to be a normal name.”
-
[i]"So you dont remember it?" [/i]
-
“I remember all those. Titles, names, project labels maybe. I know they mean me but not much else.”
-
[i]"You remember? What?" [/i]
-
“I said I remember those words and know they mean me. So I guess they’re my names.”
-
[i]"You're fûckin' wierd, you know that?" [/i]
-
“Yep.” She says totally unabashedly.
-
[i]"At least you know." [/i]
-
“You are too. Cybernetic Cowboys are not “normal” assuming we’re using Average Joe as the definition for normal.”
-
[i]"You want to go and insult cripples? 'cause plenty of people have prosthetics." [/i]
-
“It isn’t an insult.“
-
[i]"Right. Well, whaddya wanna do now, just brood edgily on the roof?" [/i]
-
“You’re the one who brought me up here, and I’m not brooding.” She says as she continues observing.
-
[i]"You know what I mean. And I ain't got any ideas." [/i]
-
“Well I need to find somewhere to sleep.”
-
[i]"Need an apartment?" [/i]
-
“That would qualify.”
-
[i]"Go to the Dojo, the place gives away free rooms." [/i]
