text; sorry i fell asleep last night instead, i became a sib

[parttimes]

Hey, it's 2B, right? Are you settling in okay after everything?

an unforgivable crime

[undeserved]

[ she wasn't expecting this. ]

I'm used to it. I'll be fine.

Did you need something?

[ because, obviously, he must have some motive in texting her... she's just an android he briefly spoke to the other day. ]

[parttimes]

No, not really. I felt like I should check in.

It's kind of tough to adjust to getting kidnapped to some random new world, you know?

[undeserved]

Like I said, I'm used to it. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. Last time, I just had a choice.

Anyway, you don't need to check in on me. YoRHa units are self-maintaining.

[parttimes]

[Uh...]

I think the difference between having a choice and not having a choice is pretty huge...

But either way, just to be clear, this isn't really a "hey are you totally functioning" status check. Like... how you're doing emotionally and mentally are just as important.

[Androids are very strange sometimes.]

[lumberlady]

Hello, 2B? It's Konoha! Are you busy?

[... she almost calls her "roots", but.]

THIS IS SO LATE I'M SORRY

[undeserved]

[ narrowly avoided a new nickname that makes it sound like she's bad at dying her hair... ]

Konoha? [ she's a little surprised to hear from her. ] I'm not. Did you need something?

u ho

[lumberlady]

I just wanted to ask you something. You live with 9S, right?

[undeserved]

... Yes.

[ even if there's some trouble in paradise at the moment... ]

He's not here right now, though. You should call him if you need him.

[lumberlady]

Oh, no, I just wanted to know so I can prepare enough pumpkins!

whenever the network works-ish again

[bestaround]

[ you know when your wifi is so godawful you start keysmashing shit out of pure frustration ]

vbgj

[bestaround]

[ ... Except, for the first time in ages, he doesn't get an error message sending that. ]

wait did that go through?
2B, can you see this?

[undeserved]

[ unsurprisingly, 9S has been on her mind a lot. She almost jumps out of her skin when the message notification appears on her watch, she hasn't heard it in so long - and practically breathes a sigh of relief when she sees who it's from.

Then she sees the actual message, which reads "vbgj," and starts worrying again. Is that some kind of code?? She's never heard of it before. Maybe he's in danger and trying to contact her. While she tries figuring out what those letters might stand for (very bad, get... what starts with j...): ]

9S? What's your status? Where are you?

[bestaround]

[ A response? ... A response! There truly is a god out there. ]

Oh, thank goodness! Do you have any idea how long I've been trying to get this damn thing to work? Not that Pod has been able to get any connectivity down here either... Anyway, there's not much to report so far. That is, I'm doing okay. What about you?

[bestaround]

[ Naturally, it once again errors out going through. So he tries again. And again, when that doesn't work. And again... still no dice. ]

[bestaround]

OH COME ON

[ as you'd have it, that's the one that goes through ]

[undeserved]

[ ok, revising her assumption based on this one text: he's fine. ]

Sending me that won't make the connection better. Where are you?

[ and send... oh, it's not going through. Better try again. And again. ]

[undeserved]

Sending me that won't make the connection better. Where are you?

[undeserved]

Sending me that won't make the connection better. Where are you?

[undeserved]

Ignore that.

2B

[ that’s it

it’s not chopped up, he’s just not writing more than that for one of his daily attempts at the thing that will almost definitely not go through ]

[theseuschip]

[ but wait!!! ]

███it work?

[undeserved]

[ luckily, she's already dealing with similar messages from 9S, so she's not as confused and/or alarmed as she could be when she gets this one from Simon. ]

I'm here. The connection is bad.

[theseuschip]

You're here? Down here?
Are you okay?
    you with 9S? Is A2 there?

[undeserved]

No

[ there was considerably more to this message, but none of the rest of it sends properly, so he gets to play "guess which question 2B is replying to" ]
