1st Test [ video ]

[ Once Ai had gone through her belongings, making sure they were all still in her bag, she set it down to the ground before turning her attention back to the console that was set up in the suite. She stared at it for a few seconds before pushing herself off the bed. In a minute she had it on and her hands busy typing away at the keyboard.

After she finished reading up on what she could, Ai stared at the console, then got up from her chair to pace the room. Fifteen minutes after that she flopped onto the bed, face first into the pillow. All the while she was mentally arguing with herself as to the degree of absurdity this all was.

It wasn't until a little while later did she finally give up and turned on the video function of the console. An unimpressed seven year old with strawberry blonde hair was currently occupying the screen, her chin in her palm as she looked into the camera.

I'm not sure how to go about this, but I suppose it would best for me to introduce myself. [ Because she found no record of anyone she knew being here, she wasn't putting in any effort to pretend to act like a child. Not that she's any good at it to begin with. ] My name is Ai Haibara and as you can already guess, I am new to Keeliai. I suppose the first thing for me to do is to find out how to be of use since there isn't much else I can think of doing for the time being.

[ She pauses to let out a small sigh and shake her head. There was a deadpan look on her face. ] Honestly though, the back of a turtle? This all feels like it should be something out of a video game or a manga.

[you look young, but sound a lot older than that. It's weird, and disconcerting at first]

You're not alone in that.

[... well, kid or not. She could still be useful, if she wanted to be. He just wasn't the person to ask that sort of question towards.]
browbeater: Ooooooh it's too real. (See... there was this time at bend camp.)

Well, it's obviously possible. It's happening, isn't it? Somehow, we're all here, from different places and different worlds.

[Another child. Though the lack of actual child-like qualities momentarily escaped her...considering Midii, though only eleven herself, carried a similar demeanor and attitude. But what captured her interest were the terms used. Anime. Manga. Words she had not heard for quite some time, spoken in a language she had not heard since her arrival.]

You are Japanese?

[This was not particularly significant. Merely a curiosity. Until now, all she had heard was her native French; Haibara was the first who appeared to be speaking her secondary tongue instead.]

There are a small selection of available jobs you can take up, depending upon what you're good at.

[It was the same for Midii; her Japanese was near flawless, thanks to the fact that it was (apparently) the dominant language of her world. Earth and the Space Colonies.]

What can you do?
unetrustworthy: (inquisitive)

That depends on who you ask. Not everybody seems to care how old we are.

[The fact that some people actually did was the new concept for her. Back home, a body was a body. Age was irrelevant, so long as ability could compensate.]

Somebody who was also brought here had offered me a job helping in his clinic. There are a lot of other places hiring too. Everything from running errands, to doing research.

[Believe her, Ai, half the people on the Turtle would barely raise an eyebrow at another genius child. It's like Keelai was collecting them.]

Was there anything else you needed help with?
unetrustworthy: (so this is where you guys were)

[personal profile] unetrustworthy 2013-08-05 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

I'm still relatively new myself, but you can come find me if you have any others and don't want to ask the adults.

[Judging from the girl's demeanor, adult conversation didn't seem like it would be a problem. However, Midii did feel slightly more comfortable around the younger Foreign members of the Turtle; it wasn't wrong to assume others like her would be in a similar frame of mine.]

Midii Une. Une is my family name.

[She recalled how certain cultures would place their family name first. Thus, the clarification.]

And your name...is it 'Ai' or 'Haibara'?
unetrustworthy: (watching closely)

[A nod.]

You can use the comms to send messages to specific people.

[Because, kid or no, she wasn't so ready and willing to give our her home address.]

It's not hard to figure out.

Good luck.

[A kid, but clearly a smart kid. Still, Arthur feels a little uneasy about the idea of kids being here without their parents or guardians. The number of underage inhabitants of the turtle is disconcerting - he's not used to so many child projections.]

I think some people are trying to put together a school. [Meaning: you'll want to attend, right?]

Enough to make me seriously worry about the people who are supposedly bringing us all here to fight some kind of war for them.

[The implication being: child soldiers, wtf.]
aloadeddie: (i am so fucking smooth)

[personal profile] aloadeddie 2013-07-28 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Or they're just incredibly cruel people. [Arthur is pretty contemptuous of anyone who will use a child for something as nasty as a war. Maybe it's hypocritical of him, but he doesn't think so.]
aloadeddie: (holy shit bad idea)

video;

[personal profile] aloadeddie 2013-07-30 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose so. Still, kids like you shouldn't have to know that just yet. [Yes, he's a bit of a protective guy. Hey, he's godfather to a couple of young kids himself.]
aloadeddie: (can you see my lineface?)

[personal profile] aloadeddie 2013-08-05 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. [He doesn't really deal much with kids.] Well, uh. Good luck, I guess. You need something, let me know. Name's Arthur.
