[ It was probably a weird time to call for a date, what with the change in management in CERES proper, but it was a break he felt they both needed, in a way. He barely knew about her own feelings regarding the changes going around this place, but she’d been a familiar and comforting presence since his early days here.

He needed to talk to her. Now or never, right?

He’d sent her a message about a few days earlier, informing her of the time and place—some indoors number eager to capitalize on a variety of noodle dishes soused in the almost familiar marinara, XO, and sesame dressing, even as it featured some more outlandish sauces derived from the CERES Gardens and, it was purported, from the jungles beyond.

Mostly he hopes she won’t order anything too weird, because if he has a panic attack at the Noodle Emporium it’ll make for a pretty awkward date.

But yes.

He looks up from the street corner where he’d been standing on, waving to her as he spots her in the crowd. ]

Yo, Vietnam! Over here!

[ Neither does he which is all the more reason to reject them!! ]

Some of them have. [ And this waiter was gonna try to sing to them about the specials, okay. Do you really want to deal with tacky singing robots right now Vietnam?? ]

Some of them have been trying to…hug people and stuff, too.

[ So mad, this one. ]

[hoasen]

[But what if it's delicious!]

Ah... [Like that robot that's singing? Look, some of those tunes could be catchy!

Although now that he mentions it.]

You know, I've met one that tried to force a massage on us. That was...morbidly enlightening.

[kaba]

[ STILL NOT WORTH IT ]

The nerve of these guys. [ He's fuming. Did he mean the singing robots, or the massage ones? Does it matter at this point? ]

We can't even beat the crap outta them.

[hoasen]

[KOUJAKU BE THUG AND ADVENTUROUS!

She would agree with both, really.]

They are abnormally strong! Did you try fighting one? I wonder if each one has a different set of weaknesses...

[Should they get someone like Archer to make specialised weapons?!]

[kaba]

[ NO ]

Yeah. One of them managed to grab me and another kid once.

[ Archer would know what to do bless his heart ]

[hoasen]

Ah, he's becoming a true man...maybe.]

Goodness, really? What happened?!

[SHE'S WORRIED FOR HIM NOW OKAY. Archer would probably save them all somehow.]

[kaba]

Long story. [ He's maybe a little embarrassed at the fact that a little girl had to simultaneously save him from the robot and stop him from beating it up.

#hippolyfe ]

You run into anything more dangerous lately? [ Rubbing at his temples. Stupid robots. Please give him some good news…like Archer saving them all or something. ]

[hoasen]

[And a story she will still never know...until maybe in the future. How long can he hide this from her?!]

Lately? Aside from the usual, nothing terrible. [She hasn't been dropped into the deep end like a good number of the others too, so it's more her worrying about them. If only Archer could save them!] What of yourself?
