Shopping District

[So. Things are still super weird. Everything about this colony and everything he’s learned over the last couple of days has been very strange to him, not to mention stressful.

Initially when he woke up a few days later shivering he had assumed maybe he was sick. Not that that had mattered. He burrowed further in his blankets and that was that…except that it wasn’t. Everything felt cold, even Baymax activating his internal heater did nothing for him.

So he left. He took off, taking his robot on the train with him and headed for the shopping district. Over the course of the day he’s wandering with Baymax, occasionally burying himself further and further into piles of clothing. Sorry if he startles you by being there.

On the other hand, taking Baymax anywhere is always a hassle. When Hiro’s not trying to warm up, he’s chasing after the robot, occasionally bumping into people.]

Baymax! Wait! [Baymax might not be fast, but it’s easy to get separated from him. Heads up, he’s not at all watching where he’s running. He might just run right into you…or through you. Or through a building. Well that’s not normal, is it? Who knows where he’ll end up.]

CERES Game Center

[Being nearly invisible is kinda bad. He’s almost completely faded by the time he makes his way to the CERES game center with Baymax at his side. The robot and invisible-boy are blocking the entrance to ViViD today due to the fact that Hiro’s sitting just outside of it scowling at it, moving around the system to try and figure it out without going inside. If he sees someone passing by though or even approaching to play, he’ll catch their attention, trying to grab them by the arm and phasing right through.]

Hey, I have a question for you.

Wildcard

[Random scenario time! Hit me with a prompt of your own, or send me a message and I’ll write something specific for you!]

Comments

[zerotohiro]

[Baymax is already concerned, pausing and causing Hiro to slam right into him, too. (Which is better than phasing right through him as he has been lately.) He had seen Kanda get clipped and he moved even faster to join them, eyes already moving toward the other guy's hand.]

Dude, are you okay? [By the time he reaches Kanda though, his wrist is straightened out and...everything looks normal? Wait a second.] ...I just saw you get hit by a bike, right? I'm not making things up. [He shakes his head.] Baymax, scan him.

[overgrowth]

Who are you?

[ kanda directs a very suspicious look at him, and another one at baymax. the heck's up with that... ]

I'm fine. Don't scan me, what?

[ a hand hovers over the hilt of his sword automatically. ]

[zerotohiro]

[Unfortunately, Baymax listens to Hiro (most of the time) and there's a short quip of Scan complete. You appear to be in excellent health right after that. Hiro stops, staring first at Kanda and then at Baymax, waving a hand in front of the robot's face.]

What's wrong with you? [It's not clear if he's talking to Baymax or to Kanda. Or both.] I'll take you to Tadashi's to check everything out later. [He looks back at Kanda though, eyes honing in on the sword and holding up his hands in defense. Bro, keep your sword where it is. Please don't pop his robot. Or him.] How did you just do that? [He gestures to the hand that he knows was damaged. People don't just regenerate and heal themselves like that...right?]

[overgrowth]

Nothing. And tell me who this Tadashi is.

[ he isn't moving a hand from his sword, but he doesn't tighten his grip on it, either. so that's a good sign. ]

I don't know what you think you saw, but I'm going to get some answers out of you before I answer any of your questions.

[zerotohiro]

[On the bright side, he's not exactly intimidated. (It's a lot easier to be/feel brave after going head-to-head with guys like Yama and other villains back home.) So instead, he holds his ground and narrows his eyes slightly.]

Tadashi's my older brother and he might not be able to fix you, but he can at least help me check out Baymax. Now do I get an answer?

[overgrowth]

[ somehow, that makes kanda relax slightly. ]

I'm fine. [ a quick show of his wrist, which indeed looks healthy now. in the seconds before baymax scanned him, the fractured bones and twisted ligaments were reforming and realigning, but now he's fine and dandy. ] What else do you want?

[zerotohiro]

[Hiro and Baymax are both skeptically peering at Kanda's wrist, and though Baymax can't find anything wrong now Hiro's still not sure what to think.]

If you say so. [He will find out your secrets, dude. Somehow.] You always carry your sword around? [Because...he kinda would like to know just how much of a threat Cerealia really is.]

[overgrowth]

[ not if he can help it!! ]

Yeah. [ he's finally moving his hand away from the hilt. ] Why, you got a problem with it?

[zerotohiro]

Dude, will you calm down? [He rolls his eyes, marginally unimpressed by Kanda's attitude.] I just wanna know if it's really that necessary or if, like, you're just attached to it.

[overgrowth]

Unless you trust everything going on around here, it's stupid to go around without some way to defend yourself.

[ and he's weirdly attached to it, but he doesn't acknowledge that. ]

[zerotohiro]

I don't trust anything around here, but I'm also not gonna get answers if I go around swinging swords at people. [That is to say, Kanda, still too much.] Anyway, that's what I have Baymax for.

[overgrowth]

It's a precaution. [ though he's also not above using it to threaten people. ]

What the fuck is a... bay-max?

[zerotohiro]

[Just. Gesturing to the robot. Said-robot just blinks and waves.]

Hello. I am Baymax.

[Hiro, otherwise, isn't saying anything just to see what Kanda will do.]

[overgrowth]

[ kanda has seen weirder, at least, though he does stare intently for a long moment before he looks back at hiro. ]

What's it for?

[zerotohiro]

Baymax was designed to be a nursebot. He basically functions as a robotic doctor? [He moves in front of Baymax then.] Baymax? Scan me.

[The robot looks down, scanners fully functioning and reading over Hiro's vitals.]

Your heart rate is elevated, but your neurotransmitter levels are stable. This is improvement.

[...eh, whatever. He looks back at Kanda.] Baymax is designed to scan his patients and diagnose any medical issues he has. He also knows how to treat thousands of them.

[overgrowth]

[ that's actually... kind of neat, and efficient, though kanda doesn't appreciate it. ]

So he's just going to patch you up if something happens? Not stop the danger or protect you?

[zerotohiro]

Well not in this form. That's what his armor's for. [Duh.] And I can protect myself just fine. We work as a team.

[overgrowth]

[ teamwork, hiro says? kanda decides to be rude as usual and his hand snaps out just far enough for him to flick him on the forehead, fast enough that it's only a blur to normal human eyes. ]

[zerotohiro]

[If Kanda was actually a normal person, Hiro could have possibly blocked that. As it is though his hand comes up just a little too slow and it's up after Kanda's hand makes contact with his forehead. Hiro winds up stepping back, bumping into Baymax's belly.]

Dude. Ow? [Upon hearing the magic words, the robot looks down, automatically scanning him.]

It appears there are no injuries.

[Which is fine, but Hiro's not entirely okay with what just happened here.] That shouldn't even count, what was that? [Speed. That was way too fast for a normal person and he's Not Having It.]

[overgrowth]

I hit you so it counts.

[ kanda's logic. ]

You can't defend yourself that well, anyway. Clearly.

[zerotohiro]

Well nobody's expecting a lightning-fast flick. That's kinda like cheating. [He's not sure how he did it, but Kanda did something that equates to foulplay.] I can defend myself just fine and I'd be totally fine if I actually wore my armor today.

[He glances down.] Could you defend yourself very well without the sword?

[overgrowth]

Nothing here's normal. You're going to have to deal with that.

[ kanda brushes a hand over the hilt of mugen reflexively. ]

Depends against what.

[zerotohiro]

[A huff. Fine, okay, fair point. But the second part is what interests him more.]

...you're saying there's stuff it can't defend against?

[overgrowth]

It's specialized. For things that aren't here, apparently.

[ and for some reason kanda seems grouchy about that, but it's mostly misdirected annoyance and anger. ]

But it's still a blade that can cut you. And your... bay-max. [ no need to worry about that! ]

[zerotohiro]

[Suddenly his eyes narrow.] Don't you dare get your sword near my robot. [Otherwise you are in for a world of terrible things, bro. Terrible.]

Anyway, our armor could probably stand up to it. A blade's still a blade, specialized or not. [Since it doesn't look like a laserbeam or anything weird.]
