Peace Week

[mockmods]

[So, with introductions made, you're all left to your own devices for the time being. Explore, make friends, try not to go insane in your new surroundings. Maybe organize a game of that Trailseeker thing? Your time is your own.]

[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]

[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((Please tag any investigation toplevels as such, and ping the mods on Plurk or discord if possible!))

I- oh. I see.

[Her expression falls a little as she reflects on that, what might have happened without the Researcher's power suppression.]

...you don't consider me an enemy now, though?

[And this one opens easily enough, looks like it's just a text document.]

[windowsexplorer]

No! Not at all! [A VERY QUICK ANSWER.] I don't think we're enemies and I don't want to be! I want to be friends!

[...she says, just before getting to her own section in the document.]

[in4apounding]

[Congratulations, Meredith. You've successfully answered the question of whether it's possible for military grade robots to weep tears of joy.]

[...The answer is "no," but there's a second or so where it looks like Penny might anyway.]

That's- that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me!

[And you're being hugged. Deal with it.]

I mean- um. We should. Probably keep things professional. Until the study is done. But after that-! We can- um- we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!

[These are definitely all things she thought of herself and in no way read about in the library's highly limited YA romance selection.]

[AAAAAH IT'S A HUG? IT'S A HUG! HUGGING BACK. Meredith actually can weep tears of joy. Maybe she can share that upgrade later?]

Of course, I'd love to! --I mean, I don't actually know much about cute boys, but I'll try my best!

[in4apounding]

[Better find a way to share a waterproofing upgrade first.]

I'm sure you'll do sensationally!

[There's a short pause, and then Penny releases Meredith a bit, resting her hands on her shoulders.]

...Um. Misters Midoriya and Sakuraba seem nice? And... Mister Shinso's been. Polite?

[just cover her in plastic or something, it's fine

Hm, Meredith can't really mirror that movement non-awkwardly. She guesses she'll just... let her hands rest on... Penny's waist? Okay this actually isn't particularly non-awkward either.]

Oh! Yeah, they're all pretty nice people, I guess.

[in4apounding]

[Seems fine to Penny, is there an issue?]

Yes. Very nice.

[They are so good at this, clearly.]

...I'm really glad I met you too. I didn't say, earlier.
