[A. Phone | Filtered from Herr Major]Hey guys, I know this is going to sound fairly unusual but I have a couple requests to make. There's a few new kids in town, really young, and I just want to make sure they'll be safe if things go completely insane around here. Also there's a girl who needs protection from her house's father, and I wanted to

[not even a few days in and already fun things are happening.]

Sounds rough. I'm still settling in so I don't know how much it'd be worth to hear, but I'd like to help them in any way I can.

[right after he makes a trip to the hardware store, of course.]

What can you tell me about the girl's dad?

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

Aside from he's a psychopathic cyborg nazi sadist? Not much.

[phone: private]

[nomorelosing]

[three out of those four register right with him.]

...You lost me at cyborg.

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

[Ummmmm whoops? There's only a brief moment before she comes up with an alternative.]

He's part robot?

[phone: private]

[nomorelosing]

[...okaaaaaay. at least he's from a world where it's not like robots are uncommon or the technology to make cyborgs, eventually so it's not THAT surprising. he guesses.]

Oh. [like it makes SO MUCH SENSE.] I guess being a regular nazi was too boring, huh.

Does he have the whole package? Super strength, speed and...whatever else cyborgs have? [at this point, he's just relying on movie logic here. works so well lately.]

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

I have no idea, and I really don't want to find out. I know he's impervious to a lot of attacks though. I'd have to ask people who've fought him, but I only know one and I don't think she really wants to talk about it.

[The sound she makes is unhappy and very canine.]

[nomorelosing]

That makes sense, I guess. [considering that the unmanned AIs needed more than a couple of missiles to take down. sigh.] I've only just gotten here; I definitely don't have the equipment needed to take something on like that, but I'll admit that I do have experience with robots - just none quite on the scale of an actual cyborg.

Who is this guy? I'd like to inquire more about him from other sources.

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

I've only been here two months or so, but even still, I'm not exactly a fighter. I'm lucky I haven't been killed yet.

The only name I know him by is the Major. I don't know if he has another name or what. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Luck might not have much to do with it; just because you don't know how to pick up a weapon doesn't mean you aren't resourceful.

No, that's good enough for now. I'll look into it, see what I can do.

Um - what about the other kids? Do you know their names?

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

I guess so, but it never feels like I'm helping. But thank you.

You mean Nanako and Cain? They're good kids, Nanako's six and Cain's ten. They'll be all right, they're in a house with Cain's brother and a girl he knows from home, so I'm not too worried about them. It's just that with the way things go around here, Abel and Esther might need some extra help looking out for them.

Don't underestimate yourself. Just bringing this to our attention is helping. Like I told this other guy, there's a time and a place for everything.

I wouldn't mind. [feels like he does enough babysitting at home with grown adults. kids should be no big deal at all.] I haven't met any of those people yet; hope they won't object to me shoving my fat head into things.

[he pauses, curiously.]

I'm Kaz, by the way. I don't think I've gotten your name yet, miss - ?

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

Mm. [She nods even if he can't see it, her tail wagging.]

Well, I did say that I'd be asking around to have other people looking out for the kids, so technically they've been warned.

[She huffs softly before answering.]

It's Mika. Mika Whitepaws.

[phone: private]

[nomorelosing]

Good to know. I have some other things to take care of first, but I'll try to talk to 'em when I get the chance. [and by other things, he means "hunt down my best friend and beat some sense into him".]

Pretty name~ I don't hear a lot of those very often.

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

Okay, thanks Kaz. I really appreciate it.

It's nothing special, really. [T-tailwags at the compliment though.]

[phone: private]

[nomorelosing]

But I think so. I bet your weekends here are so busy, too.

[don't fall into his trap, Mika.]

[phone: private]

[notlikethemovie]

If you mean by busy trying not to die, then yeah.

[Ah-ha-ha flirting? With Mika? Unpossible. She doesn't believe people would bother so she doesn't notice.]
