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.

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

[He watches curiously, a little surprised to see Baymax's face appear on the matrix but not entirely skeptical. He mimics Athena's headtilt, not entirely sure what she's looking for…and then she pinpoints his anxiety and there's another spike of it. No? That was not what was supposed to be taken from this (in his humble opinion, anyway.)

But he doesn't acknowledge it if she doesn't either.]

Yeah. Tadashi and I both had the cold thing going on…and phasing out. It's been a really weird couple of days.

[But uh. Athena? That's a little worrying.] You mean the people with corrupted codes? [Also guuurl, your matrix…Baymax is also concerned by the sudden spike in Athena's emotions.] I'm kinda glad nobody else ended up like them, either…but where did they go from there?

[psycholawgy]

[ it was just an example, anyway. and she can tell that hiro's a good guy, so she won't prod further if he doesn't want her to - which she feels might be the right thing to do right now. ]

Tadashi... your older brother, right? I got into a fight with him when he arrived since he bought all the cotton candy for you. [ a pause. ] Sorry - that's... stuff you don't even remember. I'll try not to bring it up. [ and she laughs sheepishly. ]

And yeah, them. The ones with corrupted codes. [ ... she sighs, just remembering how horrible it was of an experience for her. the purple screen doesn't disappear. she's truly sad about this; sad and fearful. ] I think they're still there.

At least, I hope so.

[zerotohiro]

Yeah, that's him. [He shakes his head because that sure sounds like his brother. Spoiling him and getting annoyed when someone tries to say no.] It's okay. I don't mind? It's...kinda interesting to hear about stuff that happened before. Maybe I can figure out where those memories went, see what went wrong with my code.

[He can tell she's upset. Baymax can tell and he frowns suddenly. It's scary to think about, but he's not as scared as he should be. He's actually sort of mad the longer he thinks about it.]

If they're still there, there has to be a way to get back in, fix their codes, and bring them back. CERES has to believe that, too. Why else would they keep them?

[psycholawgy]

They were once restored codes, right?

If CERES is working on restoring them back, then of course they'd keep them... [ that's a theory, anyway. she already knows something about how CERES is an energy-selling corporation... but she hasn't connected the dots yet. ]

[zerotohiro]

And if they're working on restoring them, then they probably wouldn't mind an extra hand from somebody who knows what he's doing, huh? [It's a quip more than a serious suggestion, though he's very much interested in what will happen if he tries to mess with the corrupted codes.] Couldn't hurt to ask.

[psycholawgy]

I dunno about that. [ the pitch of her voice goes higher at "dunno", and drops back to normal afterwards. ] Mr. Mosley said CERES has terribly high standards.

[ though, mosley's not even a college graduate and yet he sits to the right of the CEO. just how contradictory is that? ]

[zerotohiro]

And I have a terribly high IQ. [Dryly. So very dryly.] Tech is sort of my expertise. I could probably surpass their standards no problem if they talked to me. Maybe I'll drop him a line soon.

[psycholawgy]

Well, good luck! I hope he hires you.

[ or something. ]

If he does, let me in on it, too!

[zerotohiro]

Sure. You'll be one of the first to know. [Baymax apparently though has spotted something else of interest and appears to be on the move again. Hiro sighs heavily before shaking his head, already walking backwards to catch up.] I'll catch up with you later, okay? I wanna know more about the mood matrix thing anyway!

[psycholawgy]

Right, sure!

[ she gives him a two-finger salute before he leaves. she needs to get started on her vivid training, anyway. ]

Remember me this time. My name's Athena!

[zerotohiro]

I won't forget this time. I promise! [And with that he waves, turning fully to bolt after his robot. Thanks Athena, you're an inspiration to us all.]
