Day 38: Game Room

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

She’d never been in the Game Room before.

It didn’t look spectacularly interesting, she had to admit… but it’d be more fun than just hanging out in the Sun Room, right? Yuffie idly thumbed through a deck of cards, walking around the room to examine various bits and pieces. Board games, video games, chess… No really awesome prank material that she could see, but maybe she could rope somebody into a game of poker? That could be fun, but… ah, then again, most of the patients were just like her -- they didn’t have anything really cool that she could swindle out of them. Not until Nightshift, anyway.

Still! She’d keep it in mind. It wasn’t like there was anybody else in the room yet anyway, so any potential swindling would have to wait a little while. What could she do in the meantime, huh? Pick- pocketing a nurse could be fun..! Wait -- no, not when it was quiet like this. She’d have to wait until there was more cover, unless she got distracted. Yuffie hadn’t stolen anything in days, not since that time in Doyleton, with the Kaito kid…

Yuffie smirked. That had been fun.

"...A robot?" Kvothe looked confused, of course he was from a world without engines or electricity, they didn't have anything like robots even at the University. "What's a robot?"

"What?" Depth Charge blinked, nonplussed. Was this kid for real? "You don't know what...? Never mind. I'll try and explain it. It's like..." He sat back again, this time in thought rather than disappointment. Explaining a robot. Hah. It was like explaining water, or gravity. "A robot's kind of like a human, but made out of metal and full of gears and wires. Everyone from my home planet's like it."

Kvothe sat back as well, still confused but thoughtful. "It sounds like something that has to be built. If everyone where you're from is a robot, who built them?"

If he ever got back to the University he'd definitely tell Master Kilvin about this, he was sure the Master Artificer would love to try building something like that.

Depth Charge couldn't stop himself from giving a dry little laugh. Rhinox would've had a field day explaining this slag. "I'm a fighter, kid, not a philosopher. Most people would say Primus, I guess- he's kind of an all-powerful god. Me? I'm not sure anymore."

Kvothe nodded a little though he's not quite sure what to think. He'd thought it was a relatively straight-forward question. "So, when you woke up here you were completely human instead? Makes me wonder what other people here might really be." Ordinarily he'd think the man was completely cracked. However, the blue hair somehow didn't look dyed and with the rest of the madness in this place he supposed it wasn't any more impossible than everything else that happened. After the statue in the chapel he was prepared to believe a lot.

"There are maybe three more Cybertronians here, plus X. They're all 'cons, though, so I wouldn't trust 'em to so much as hold the door for me." Depth Charge suggested, "I've met and heard of a couple more non-Cybertronian 'bots, but other than that? Your guess is as good as mine. There could be anything here from aliens to ick-yaks. You're human, right?"

[sir-savien.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I am. Are you sure that X is really here? Or, that he's still here? I saw notes about people disappearing when I answered your message on the board. If he was really here he could be gone now." At least, Kvothe hoped so. He didn't like the thought of more sadistic psychopaths running around the place, especially after the night before. "What do you mean by ''con?'"

[scalyfishman.livejournal.com]

"'con? Oh, right. 'con, like Decepticon." Depth Charge explained, simplifying the politics as much as he could- he was probably even less interested in it than Kvothe was. "It's just a name for a faction on Cybertron- an amoral, lying, worthless faction. The faction I'm with was at war with them for centuries."

As for X... "And if I'm here, X is too." he said determinedly. "I've followed him across the entire galaxy. Slag, we even died at precisely the same time. There's no way he's not here."

[sir-savien.livejournal.com]

Died? That gave Kvothe a bit of a chill but he decided that whatever happened he didn't really want to ask. "Do you really think that has anything to do with it? I mean, my roommate has a twin, and I think they were together before he turned up here, but he's here and she's not. maybe he's not here. It doesn't sound like you've really got any proof that he is, right?"

[scalyfishman.livejournal.com]

"He is here," was all Depth Charge could say. But for all the outward conviction, he wasn't so sure anymore. All the while he'd been speaking to Kvothe his doubts had been slowly building up in his mind.

But that wasn't a possibility. He couldn't consider that. Because if he was in here and X was out there, wherever 'there' was...

"If you say so..." There was no point in arguing it, really, and he supposed it was always possible. He still had his doubts, though. This place hadn't yet seemed to adhere to any type of real logic. "I'll keep an eye out."
