Day 64: Cafeteria (brunch)

[gald_digger]

Well, that went well! Anise had gained herself a gorgeously handsome new friend. She just hoped that weird illness didn't get either of them killed before she could get to know him any better.

... Yeah, that was morbid. It was hard not to think about, though.

Before going to the Cafeteria, Anise made a stop at her room to grab her journal, maps, and a pen. Once she finished eating, she could get a start on copying the maps for Barnaby. He was going to be so glad he met her!

With that done, Anise made her way to the Cafeteria, where she picked up an assortment of food, making sure to get some meat, vegetables, and milk on her tray. She then sat down at a table and set her notes aside while she started on her meal. It was hard not to feel self-conscious about the rash on her arm, though the makeup she used had blended the discolored part enough that it couldn't be seen from a distance. Anise just hoped no one would come specifically looking for it.

"I suppose it might not be as common here as it is in Oz," the Scarecrow replied after a moment of thought, finally taking a bite of his meal as his mind was drawn from his concerns over his roommate and the infection to the home he'd left behind. He wondered if anyone had noticed he was gone- surely they would have by now. Then again, despite being the wisest and the king, he didn't have very many duties with his position. While he was positive Tin Man and Lion would have thought something was wrong, the rest of the Ozites might not have thought a thing about his absence, assuming he'd wandered off to do some heavy thinking, as he often did.

Oh right, the conversation. There went his mind again, wandering off. "And what were you before coming here, Zero?"

Oz...? So that's where this guy came from. Never heard of such a place before...which opened up one new possibility: perhaps Scarecrow was from a completely different planet rather than a different era?

Wouldn't be surprising to hear.

Still, if they made robots that scared birds there...their technology had to be at least somewhat modern, right? Or else...

--hm? Zero was so busy thinking about possibilities that he almost didn't hear Scarecrow's question. Foolish... Even during the daytime, he didn't need to be losing focus like that. "A Reploid," he answered - then, once again, reminded himself that no one here knew what that was. "Self aware android."

Surely, if Scarecrow was built by people as he claimed, he would know what an android was at least?
