“So, what exactly did you want to show me from up here?”
-
[i]"Do you have a phone on you? A map, maybe?" [/i]
-
“Nope. I haven’t got anything but my knives, my gun, and my clothing.”
-
[i]"Damn... Alright, here." JT reached into his duster pocket and grabbed his phone. After deleting he browser history (mostly prosthetic facts) and his contact list, he handed it to Divia. "Yours now. There's an app called "Tatakai Map", open it and click "Dojoville." Aight?" [/i]
-
She opened it and took a look.
-
[i]She found basically Google maps on steroids, with a bunch of stores marked on the map. [/i]
-
She scans it over carefully. “Do you have any idea where I can get a job?”
-
[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.“
