Format: Action, but I can match.
Summary: Sertoria returns to the tower and decides to return straight to work.
Warnings: Possible feels...?

[ Room 1-03 ]

[ Those in the room can find a blond-haired android laying down in the bed as if she's asleep. Her eyes slide open and she sits up, looking around. Okay, this wasn't Quaeda. She was in the...

Oh, in Joshua's name--

Sertoria allows an irritated growl to come forth from her mouth before running a hand through her hair. She stretches her limbs before standing up and looking around, feeling her head. So, her headset was still there as well as her visor. She places a hand around her neck and feels her restraint while noticing there was one on her wrist as well. So her equipment was there, but she felt awfully light... ]

Check current storage specifications.

Current storage reveals basic specifications for unit. Unit CXEV5001 does not carry any weaponry... Current storage scan is complete.

[ Sertoria leans down to her chest, noting her photo album, operating manual and her trusty gunblade as well as the hilts of her sword and rifle. She presses a button on her arms and one on her leg to store her weaponry before they just disappear.

She takes another glance down at herself before noticing that she was just in her tunic. She takes her dusty, tattered robe and adjusts it slightly.

Oh, wait. She might have roommates. Oops. ]

Ah--hello. Pardon me, I did not mean to disturb you. If you have not seen a robot before, please note that I've come in peace. I do not wish to harm you.

[ And a smile! ]

[ Cafeteria ]

[ Even though Sertoria knows she cannot process it, she knows that the tower could be unforgiving. So, she's sitting down at a table and eating (well, slurping) the oatmeal like a good girl. She cannot taste it, so she's spared the misfortune of ever knowing what it tastes like. ]

...I do not see what is so bad about this.

[ Maybe it's because you're unable to taste it, Sertoria. ]

[ Floor 15 ]

[ Upon entering the workshop, Sertoria strolls through the area. It's clear she's not the lightest of people, since every step she takes is weighted due to the frame she was designed with. She's hoping to see Doc here, but if she can't, then that's fine. She can wait to hopefully see him again. ]

...Um. Doc, are you here? It is me, Sertoria. It's been a while!

[ Please don't let her be wrong here. She was in her hellhole of a world for a while. It would be nice to see a friend after so long. ]

[ Third Block Onwards. ]

[ Sertoria has figured it out that the tower has gotten bigger, and as such, her external and internal maps should get updated. She's sketching down everything she can ahead of time and memorizing it with her infinitesimal data bank. She can be approachable as she's opening the doors to several rooms, but never staying inside long enough - her ocular sensors take care of that much. ]

...How many floors are there...? [ She quietly mutters, tapping a pen against her cheek in thought, quietly humming before returning to work. Looks like the work here is never done! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Wriggle had been sleeping when she heard the voice echo around the room, sitting herself up and rubbing the spots from her eyes she just about caught Sertoria storing her weaponry and stared dumbfounded. It was difficult to comprehend the situation upon just waking up]

...

What's a robot?

[ Oh, dear. This was awkward. Sertoria rarely felt exposed, seeing as she's had different people work on her all the time. She quickly closes the compartments and stands upright, offering Wriggle a pleasant smile. ]

My apologies, the correct term is android. I'm a robot built and designed to have human-like qualities. It is a pleasure to meet you, miss.

Uh... Nice to meet you too. I'm a firefly but also a youkai so I kind of look like a person too but I have antennae.

[That was how the introduction was supposed to go, right? Wriggle wasn't following any of this at all]

What is a 'youkai'? I have not heard of this term before.

[ Supposedly! She's still sort of socially awkward herself. ]

They're supernatural creatures like tengu or fairies.

I've never heard of robots or androids either. What are those?

Oh! How fascinating.

A robot is a machine designed and capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. An android is a robot with a human appearance, like me.

It is a pleasure to meet one of your kind, miss!

So... like an abacus?

[Very sorry, this is just going totally over her head]

Uh, yeah. It's nice to meet you too. I don't think I've ever met an android before.

Er... Yes. Exactly an abacus - a very advanced one, at that!

[ It's okay. She's patient! ]

Then allow me to be the first, miss! I hope I live up to any expectations you have.

I don't have any so you're good!

[ Oh... ]

Well, that is good! Tell me, what is your name?

Me? I'm Wriggle Nightbug!

It is a pleasure to meet you, Wriggle. I am Sertoria Cani.

I'll try and remember that.

So you're a really advanced human abacus, huh? What's that like? I'm not very good with big numbers.

Um... I have not really regretted my life. It has been a very good life for me so far and I only hope to continue that way. I am sorry, it is a very vague question so it is hard for me to give you a straightforward answer.

Uh... No, no it's fine!

[This was her first time consciously meeting a robot, she didn't really know how to react. They seemed human enough]

I guess it's good you don't regret it?

It is.

[ But, enough about her. Her history was boring, or so she thought. ]

Perhaps you would like to tell me more about yourself while we are here?

Like I said, my name is Wriggle Nightbug and I come from a place called Gensokyo.

[Although she was starting to forget what it was like]

I talk to bugs and most of the time they do what I tell them so I'm kind of like their leader. I don't think it's fair that people call them a nuisance or hurt them when all they're doing is trying to survive. So I want to try and get people to see them in a more positive light.

[ This is going to interest Sertoria to where she places her book down. Now that she mentioned it, she probably also hurt countless bugs along her mission for her creators, which is yet another thing she thinks she's guilty of. ]

Do you have a favorite bug or do you love them all equally?

I am a firefly so I guess I can't help but like them a little better but I like all of them! I can't pick a favourite.

A valid answer, if I may say so myself! I do not believe I have seen a firefly before.

Well you have now!

And if you want to see some regular fireflies I can show you them. They're not real though, I don't think...

I am honored.

It is okay. I do not mind as long as I can document it.

Do you wanna go see them right now?

It's a little way down but there are lots of insects there! Not just fireflies.

I would love to, Wriggle.

[At the response she smiles brightly]

Yeah! Let's go!

[Without waiting for any kind of signal she grabs Sertoria by the hand and attempts to drag her out of the room]
