1st. Sound

[revolving_sound]

A. Action, locked to 1126 Taylor Road, early in the morning

[The sun comes from the windows, the warmth of the new day gently pushes her away from her dreams. It certainly feels like a good day is about to start. Almost without thinking, she nuzzles her face against the shoulder her head had been resting so far. She feels...soft. Squishy, almost.

[Tarvek mumbles, snerks in his sleep, wriggles a bit, then peers blearily across the bet, muttering:]

'S-not time-t' get up, Betty-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Sits bolt upright, eyes wide, scrabbling at the bedside table to find his big, dark horn-rim glasses which he rams on his face.]

Y-you're not Betty!

[Blinks.]

Red-fire! You're not...

[Forces himself to breathe, very slowly, calming himself.]

(mutters to himself) Get a hold of yourself, Sturmvoraus. You knew this could happen. Oh-my-God! The kids

[revolving_sound]

[Betty? Luka smiles warmly at him, looking him go up and out, and then return, all the time talking and talking. Boy, he sure likes to talk alright. By the time Tarvek is back, Luka has...done absolutely nothing; she's still leisurely laying on the bed, blanket removed from her so that she's resting over her shoulder in a carefree way, her face still in that apparent state of calm.]

So...Mayfield. Kids. Fake marriage.

[She nods and tries to let it sink in for a moment before yawning and falling back to bed.]

Seems like someone is going through great pains to make a convincingly prepared prison for us, don't you think? I even have a house, a bed, children... [A light snort] And a husband. Very impressive.

So tell me, Tarkved Sturmvoraus, where you an android before coming here?

[velesdonnersen]

[Blink-blink-huh?]

Android?

Wait, I think I've heard that word. A mechanical person? Like a Muse?

[Eyes go HUGE]

You -- were you a Muse?!!!

[He's not quite dorky enough to say, "Awesome!" but it's a close call...]

I mean... No. No, I wasn't a Muse... "android." I was a spark: that's a sort of technical wizard. I...

I made androids. Before they brought me here.

Right now the talent's gone. I'm... hoping I get it back, eventually.

[revolving_sound]

Muse...well, muses do sing, right? And I'm a singing android.

[A blink.]

Well, was one of those. Now I'm just a pretty girl. And you build androids? With magic?

[Or rather, he did, but Tarvek sounds at least remotely optimistic about getting his talent back.]

You think I can get my body back? Not that I'm complaining about this one though.

[pants_yourmove]

Nice to meet you, uh... Luka?

[[Not sure which name to go by.]]

I'm Aaron.

[revolving_sound]

Yes, Luka is alright.

[She's not even going to bother with honorifics if they aren't extremely required.]

I take it you are one of the fine captured fellow that live in here and not a drone of sorts?

[pants_yourmove]

Yeah, another kidnapped person who is stuck here.

The drones... well there's a lot to that.

[revolving_sound]

I have drone daughters. Kind of creepy, but Tarvek likes them, haha.

How long have you been here? Is this some sort of undefined imprisonment or we get out after a while?

[She might have already asked this to Tarvek, mind you, but Luka likes hearing all the versions of the story.]

[doublerinbow]

Eh!? Luka, you're here too? ♪

[revolving_sound]

[If it's a matter of recognizing voices, her siblings' are the ones she just won't forget.]

Apparently~♪

Missed me much Rin-chan?

[doublerinbow]

Um - well, of course! ♪ You don't have to ask that, right? Eh... hehe.

[Though truthfully, the absence of her twin was such a big deal, she didn't really have the energy to spend missing everyone else as well.

... Luka being here was a bit of a sharp reminder of that, though. She felt a little guilty now - all this time, every time newcomers would arrive, she'd only ask for Len. But KAITO-nii, MEIKO-nee and Luka were all her family as well... she sighs.]

Ummm... how was everyone back home? ♪

[revolving_sound]

I'm glad then~

[Luka is carefully avoiding any questions about Len.]

Like always? You were there, Miku-chan was there...and we were all awesome, awesome singing divas.

[perfectvoice]

[It's a moment before Miku lets that sink in. All the while, as she was listening to the phone call, she couldn't believe it--she recognized that voice, the self-sufficient tone that had been used on her more than once.

But it's only when the speaker says their--no, her name that Miku finally lets herself believe it.

Luka's here. She feels immensely relieved, yet at the same time worried. There's no telling what Mayfield will do to Luka while she is here, but there's no telling how saddened she would feel if the town decided to take her away.

This is, however, no time to dwell on those possibilities.]

Luka-chan...?

[revolving_sound]

Miku-nessan!

[Completely unconscious use of honorifics, there. She's grinning over the other side of the phone.]

You human too? This is certainly an experience.

[perfectvoice]

Ah, yeah! It feels weird, but I'm starting to get used to it.

[She's a little frustrated she can't sing as well as she used to, though.]

[revolving_sound]

I have noticed...this might get troublesome when it comes to singing. I guess we will have to try harder!

Besides you and Rin...is someone else from back home here?

Phone

[ofyukianesa]

'Surprisingly organic'?

Phone

[revolving_sound]

I used to be unsurprisingly inorganic.

Hello there.

Phone

[ofyukianesa]

Then what were you?

[No hello back, because science.]

Phone

[revolving_sound]

[SCIENCE, absolute excuse.]

An android of sorts~

More like a virtual diva, singing for the crowds...and you?
