backdated to late day 68

[talim]

Hey, um, 2B? If you're not busy, can I talk to you real quick?

[apatheia]

[Telepathy will probably always be a little weird to 2B, but at the very least she responds quickly and easily.]

Of course. Just stay where you are, I should be able to find you quickly.

[talim]

Oh, okay.

[ strange. 9s can always find him too — usually from one rooftop or another. must be an android thing.

nervous, jude shifts from foot to foot, balancing himself on his heels and glancing around to seek out 2b's presence. when he'd woken up this morning, there had been a blanket draped over him, but 2b was gone. needless to say, jude is more than a little mortified by what happened last night. he doesn't even remember half the things he might have said. were they that awful? what if he offended her? he did fall asleep on her — isn't that embarrassing in itself?

what if, what if, what if. he can't stand the thought of making a fool of himself in front of someone he admires so much. ]

Day 94

[rootandbranch]

Hi-- this is 2B, right?

[it's a familiar voice, if she's got a good memory, but it only belongs to one brief conversation back on Aimintas. either way, there's no warning preceding the sudden contact.]

I'm ready to pay my debt.

[apatheia]

[Even if being an android meant that she could always draw back on memories with the perfect clarity of a recording, it's hard to forget meeting a dragon. She responds back easily.]

Hello, Geir. This is 2B, yes. I don't know what debt you're referring to though.

[deem]

[Not too long after a certain conversation 9S melted his way through...]

Hey uh...2B? When you've got some time, could I talk to you?

[It's seemingly innocuous and yet there's. A couple of things here.

A couple of things he's not eager to get into, because it's by far easier to keep things to himself, but he's not sure that's an option anymore. He's afraid it won't be, with some of what he has to say.

Because he doesn't want her to hear it from someone else first.

In lighter yet befuddling news he...also needs advice. Good times ahead, 2B]

[apatheia]

[The world could literally be falling apart and she'd still have time for 9S, he doesn't even need to ask!! (Never mind that that already happened..........)]

Of course. I'll head to your location right now. [Here's hoping he didn't need any time to prepare himself for this because IT'S HAPPENING.]

[talim]

Hey, 2B. Sorry, I know this is a bit sudden, and the last thing I want is to be a bother, but... I've been meaning to talk to you for awhile now.

Do you think we could meet up in person?

[apatheia]

You're never a bother Jude. [Sure she doesn't really expect people to contact her, but that doesn't mean they're bothering her if they do, gosh!!] Where would you like to meet?

[talim]

[ here goes nothing. rip jude mathis. he's so nervous his palms are sweating, and he hates the fact that he's nervous around 2b. that isn't right. that isn't how things are supposed to be.

he very gently knocks on her bedroom door. he doesn't know how to start, so he doesn't say anything at all, simply waiting for her to answer. ]

[apatheia]

[With the past few weeks, it's almost rare for her to be back in her room at the abandoned house, so she's definitely not expecting the knock on her door. Given who else she knows stays here, it's easy for her to figure out who must be on the other side of the door, but she's not sure what to think of that either. Why would Jude want to speak with her still?

So instead of answering, she simply opens the door, unsurprised at who it is but confused all the same.]

... Hello, Jude. [The same greeting as always, in the same calm tone as always, even if calm is the last thing she's feeling right now.] Was there something you needed?

[From the room, maybe? She can't imagine him needing something from her, but she asks anyways. Jude is still an important person to her, and she'd help him out with anything even if he's still (rightfully) upset with her.]

day 144

[cherrypuncher]

Hey, hey, Miss 2B! It's Yuna!

I was wondering, are you busy? I have something I wanted to show you!

[apatheia]

Hello, Yuna. I'm not busy. What did you want to show me?

sometime between day 144-146 /wings it

[precedents]

Hey.

[ there's a pause after that, and just when it seems like that's all she wanted to send, she speaks up again. ]

There's a job for two people up, if you're interested.

[ this is... mostly her reaching out to check in on 2B under the guise of working. A2 isn't very good at this kind of thing, but 2B had trusted her to talk about her issues last time, so she figures she could at least make sure she's alright now. ]

[apatheia]

[It's definitely a bit surprising to hear from A2 like this, but that's by no means a bad thing. And asking her for help on a two-person job makes sense, even if she's somewhat curious about whether this is really just about a job. If it's not, well, A2 will probably say so herself soon enough.]

Sure. What do we have to do?

sunsu

[deem]

[9S needs no holiday as an excuse to do anything for 2B and is only too eager to do so, but an occasion demands just a little bit more. So while 9S surely asked right after clothes shopping that he be allowed to modify 2B's new apparel to be equipped with a heat sink and other such useful features, he returns it with a little extra.
Folded neatly in the bag he returns 2B's new outfit in is a set of silk pajamas in a light shade of blue with the YoRHa insignia neatly embroidered on the back]

day 174

[talim]

[ jude has never been happier that they're roommates. it makes it that much easier to get a hold of 2b. he's holding a bag behind his back when he knocks on her bedroom door. ]

Uh, 2B? It's me. Can I come in?

[apatheia]

[She's already reaching for her door after hearing the knock and simply nods once she opens it.]

Of course. Please, come in.

Mog Mail Delivery!

[armigers]

[ Happy Sunsu! 2b will find a poorly wrapped gift in black wrapping paper outside her door. There's a set of fancy lures and firm fishing lines inside along with a note in neat, royal calligraphy that reads:

Hey 2b,

Found a good fishing spot close by. Let's check it out some time.

-Noctis "Ray Jack" ]

sunsu

[splinten]

[A book not unlike this on human communication. Unfortunately, he disagreed with a lot of it, so he has written extensively in the margins on all his disagreements and opinions

Also, a bunch of quality fishing rods that he possibly crafted by hand. It's signed in orange pen, "Any time you want to hang. --DS"]

sunsu

[sopherias]

[ 2B will find a set of four mini white flower hair clips... for her beautiful hair! Sophie gave the same gift to A2, because she thinks they're both just that gorgeous.

The note simply says, "To 2B. From Sophie." ]

sunsu ... sort of.

[reckoner]

[ An envelope, rather than a package. Inside, a standard hallmark sunsu card, unsigned.

Inside of that, however: two movie tickets for an unspecified time and date, for a showing of Casablanca Kenitra. it's shehui casablanca, ok To do with as she like, with whomever she likes. ]

sunsu......

[precedents]

[ left on her pillow for 2B to find is this cute fish that is also a whistle. she knows they've got telepathy and they can always call her that way, but she supposes it's the thought behind it that matters. or something to that effect.

there's a scrap of paper placed under it, ]

you can always call me if you need anything
i'll be there.

after the break-out rescue mission

[osuni]

[time for a million threads kaye

It's probably a few hours after the successful(???) mission goes down, a few minutes after their IDs go black and Okuni realizes that she can no longer open the doors to her own apartment anymore....... great, she's homeless.

but more importantly, her money?? is all gone??]

2B! It's terrible! I really can't believe this!

[Okuni's telepathic message is both upset and Offended, how could Shehui do this to her... how could they put a stop to Okuni's slowly growing gambling habits... but other than her message full of ire, she doesn't actually explain further at all so now it seems as if Okuni's having actual problems somewhere.]

[apatheia]

[2B might not have an actual heart but this sure dOES GIVE HER A HEART ATTACK!!!

It doesn't help that she's honestly still pretty on edge about everything. They might've gotten everyone out, but they don't know what's coming next either. They're too exposed, too closely monitored, it's only a matter of time before the government comes after them again.

And then, of course, she gets this message. 2B is Worried.]

Okuni? What's wrong, did something happen? [She means aside from getting evicted, losing their access to money, etc. since...... She kind of did warn about that........]
