He's not sulking. HONEST.

It felt like he'd been running forever, but even a combat reploid like him had to wind down eventually.

I can't believe I actually did that.He'd run off like some cowardly little rookie who lost his nerve and for a moment he honestly couldn't forgive himself for it. He tried not to look absolutely mortified as he tried to piece together the pieces ( Read more... )

[She liked to pace around sometimes. Walking helped the ideas flow, the information to fall into place, until she had a mild epiphany and ran back to her console to slap it all into her combat analysis program. She could determine an enemy's weakness like nobody's business by herself, but that program simply boosted the speed and effectiveness of her--

Layer turned a corner, saw red armor and blond hair, and back-stepped quick as a flash, pressing her back to the wall with a tiny clank. A breath in, and slowly released. Whenever Zero was by himself, it tends to be a 'do not disturb' situation... well, unless you were X.

...However, she had to pass by to get back to her station. By the small peek she spared around the corner, he also appeared down. Straightening up, dusting off her front to clear it of invisible dust specks, she turned that corner. Maybe took three steps.]

Hey... are you all right?

[ooc: Eep. Off to work.. but I'll be back in about three hours, short shift!]

[He looked up, startled out of his sulking brooding. He took a second to size her up - he knew a navi when he saw one, but her design was unlike anything he'd seen before. That little observation didn't do much to improve his mood; What, are the navis more advanced than me now?]

[He averted his eyes, obviously not feeling all that sociable.]

Yeah, m'fine.

[Layer frowned, finally making her quiet approach. She had to admit that she felt awfully curious... she'd been informed a while back about multiple Hunters appearing, and wondered something. She sunk to her knees, and seated neatly upon her heels beside, folding her hands neatly in her lap.]

I can lend an ear if need be. It never hurts to check on the welfare of the team.

[She turned her head, lowering her voice.]

Did... um...

dwn_000 June 19 2010, 17:18:52 UTC

[Zero didn't want to admit it, but he got more and more nervous as Layer came over and sat beside him. He's not exactly used to pretty navis just coming over and lending an ear. He fidgeted awkwardly.]

Uh, no thanks. I'm good.

[He peered at her.] Did what?

((OOC: Late reply is late. :|))

I wonder if I played Five Card Straight with you the other day. I admit it'll take me a while to find out who is who in Giga City, but I'm going to try and see if I can't devise a way to tell all the Xs, Axls, and Zeroes apart.

[Her thumbs twiddled a little. Was she meeting a new Zero, or speaking to one she was all ready familiar with? How do you even ask something like that without being offensive?]

It'll make our jobs easier, at least. ...Does it bother you that there's more than one of you out there, Zero?

[ooc: Ain't no thang, I've been trying to plan a barbecue.]

dwn_000 June 20 2010, 05:45:34 UTC

[Blink blink.] Um, no? This is the first time I've ever met you. But then I'd guess it'd be hard to keep us all straight.

It doesn't bother me really ... I'm just confused as hell.

moe_rapier June 20 2010, 15:31:20 UTC

Ever? ...Really?

[Ah, he's from at least a few years ago. Well, no sense being owl-eyed. She took a quick snapshot of him, noting that his armor is a little different... a little thicker, right down to the boots. There was a spark of pride that she could now tell them apart. Her first idea was to take a marker and put a dot somewhere... Pallette would have never let her live that down if she were here.]

Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Layer. Some time later in your career, I'll be signed up as y- ..ahem.. a combat navigator to help see you through to victory through enemy strength and weakness analysis.

[She nodded, and placed her hands upon her knees. It hit her, then- she might know what's eating him. Let's tread carefully.]

It must be jarring to see what lies ahead for you. ...Has someone shown you?

dwn_000 June 20 2010, 19:24:02 UTC

I see. I'm -- um, well you know who I am, obviously. [He mentally slapped himself for that stupid mistake.] Nice to know that they have combat navigators in the future - right now our budget only covers dispatch.

[He suddenly becomes a lot more glum at her question, his previous awkwardness gone. He averts his gaze.] Yeah. It's fine.
