A; BYE FELICIA

[ After everything that had happened with the back-to-back ViViDs and what he had learned about this place and its patterns, Giorno was ready to see what CERES was going to throw at them. The timeline fit and even though it had been pretty quiet, he wasn’t going to drop his guard as far as expecting things to go wrong were concerned. And just as he was exiting the door to leave for school—he gets his expected "present" as it were.

Two "presents" even.

The contents look to be something ripped out of a science fiction novel—then again this whole place and his current situation reeked of such a situation—as he looked down at the inactive robots. He vaguely recalls seeing the post from a Mosely regarding these. However, the matter of "what" to do with them doesn’t take more than a few moments as Giorno empties the contents of one of the boxes onto the hallway. It...really wasn’t going to move was it? All of the robots he had seen here were already activated and freely moved on their own. (Don’t think he doesn’t notice that big red button, he does.)

What if he tipped it over the ledge? Surely it must have some sort of programming preventing it from wanting to be hurt right? Was it goin—oh.

Oh.

Well, surely there was no one standing in the path of the falling robot, right? Or surely anyone who was that unfortunate to get in the way of it would have moved out the way. Regardless, Giorno is running over to lean over the railing to warn anyone below. ]

LOOK OUT!

[ Because I’m always up for anything!! If you want to discuss any possible scenario feel free to hit me up at octazooka or send me a PM and we can set something up seeing that Giorno is not taking part of the event. ]

Comments

[fingerbanged]

[There's a small 'ping' from his device, and Yusuke nods his head in confirmation.]

Got it! See you in a sec!

[And, a little faster than necessary, he hurries to the entrance of the building, only taking a brief glimpse back to see the state of his robot. Running away, even temporarily, was not something he was proud of, but there was really no other way to get rid of it right now.

... which was immediately obvious when the Yusukebot begins to push off the fallen one, it's joints squeaking a bit from the effort but otherwise not so much worse for wear.

Yep, definitely gotta go fast here.

He rushes up the stairs and to the correct floor, taking a moment or two to consult with the CereVice before finding Giorno's apartment and knocking rapidly on his door.]

HEEEY! I'm here!

[... Yusuke you're not on the ground level anymore you don't have to be so loud.]

[rejuvenate]

[ While Yusuke ran up the stairs up to where he stayed, Giorno had decided to go inside for a bit to give a once over to the second robot that he had been gifted to ensure that it was still secure and not going to start moving any time soon. Especially not after he saw the way that other one beginning to twitch and move.

Oh, and he should probably start making that coffee that he offered.

The less that other functioning robot saw, the better it would be for everyone. Though he had barely any time to get the coffee going when Yusuke is pounding on his door.

He'll answer it quickly and stepping aside for Yusuke to enter. He has an idea what Yusuke's deal was, no worries. ]

Make yourself a home. We're still getting set up so apologize for how sparse it is.

[ Still, it looked like the makings of a proper Italian chic apartment. ]

[fingerbanged]

[There was a small sigh of relief as Giorno let him in, already feeling much more free without the robot stifling him all the time. Here's to hoping it didn't have a tracker or anything like that, because the last thing he needed was for it to come creeping into this guy's apartment.

... which, upon closer observation, was a lot nicer than he had expected. Yusuke's own place was pretty bland (with only some minor adjustments here and there to make it look closer to his one from home), so this was stylish in comparison. He let out a small whistle as he looks around, finally settling on a nearby chair.]

Man, if this is what you consider sparse, then I'd hate to imagine what you'd think of my place.

But uh... thanks. Not just for the hospitality and all, but for the break. You sure as hell had the right idea with your robot, I'll say that much.

[rejuvenate]

[ Once inside, Giorno will take a look to make sure nothing is in the hallway to see the door shut before he closes it. Yusuke's soft whistling of the interior gets a soft huff from him. It's really nothing special compared to what was back home... At least, of what he has seen. ]

I'll believe that it's a work in progress, much like mine but you're welcome. [ He'll leave to go brew that coffee, or at least get the brew started. Giorno already figures that he really wasn't here for the coffee but for the refuge but still, he was going to be a good host. ]

It appears so. I had a feeling that most things here weren't going to be as straight forward as they applied given everything that I've learned from this place so far.

[ Which isn't honestly much but Giorno's got a good head on his shoulders. ]

I'm Giorno Giovanna, by the way.

[ His introduction is punctuated with him coming over to where Yusuke is sitting with a mug filled with some coffee. Nothing too fancy. ]

[fingerbanged]

[In all honesty, Yusuke didn't think this guy would be serious about making him a drink-- after all, they only met maybe less than five minutes ago, and that was kind of a lot to ask for. However, he wasn't one to turn down free stuff, and after the headache of the past couple of days, a coffee break would be a blessing.

Yusuke nods as Giorno introduces himself, relieving the hot mug from him.]

Yusuke Urameshi. Nice to meetcha, I guess?

[He takes a sip of his drink (which was a bit nicer than the kind he'd usually get for himself, which was a plus) before jumping onto something Giorno had mentioned beforehand.]

But yeah, no kidding about that. I just wish they left some sort of letter or something on the box so people who didn't catch that whole shady spiel on 'apologies' and stuff on the network would know what was up with these things. Not all of us check our devices at two in the morning, after all.

[rejuvenate]

Hopefully our meeting will be better from here on out.

[ Giorno will offer Yusuke a small but very polite smile as he takes a seat across from him. So much for going to school, ah well, it was the technically the weekend so there was no real loss. Not to mention, there's nothing wrong with cutting a few classes. ]

No, I suppose not, but it gives them an out to avoid the blame. [ Sort of, at least. It never sat well Giorno in the first place. Offering some sort of dubious piece of technology as an apology? Not to mention given what else there is to be suspicious about... Nothing about it seemed really honest. ]

Of course, if these things end up being more than what they've explained to be I wonder how they'll react then.

[ "Apologies that our apologies tried to harm you?" ]

[fingerbanged]

[Well, Yusuke's not about to get on his case about going to school, that's for sure. Being away from normal life for the past couple of years had made him forget that people didn't usually drop stuff like this out of nowhere.

There was a snort at Giorno's last comment, which nearly caused the coffee to shoot up his nose.]

Pffft. They'll probably twist it on us, no doubt. Maybe something along the lines of 'if you were nice to it, it wouldn't be crazy!' or 'we never said they were harmless, you just have to deal with it'!

I mean... they already said that much about angry ghosts bothering people, so I wouldn't put it past them. I just don't know what they're aiming at here. If they're trying to go all Terminator on us, wouldn't a less obvious method be better?
