TLV 2 - Video

[bodilesswarrior]

[A young Barbara, thirteen at most, is sitting in her wheelchair - but her legs are drawn up onto the seat, one arms wrapped around them. She has the look of a child who's keenly uncertain and doing their best to ignore it.]

Does anyone know whose chair this is? [She'd been drawn to it, and it feels oddly comfortable to sit in, but it can't be hers.]

Or what that turbulence was earlier? [Maybe that could explain all of the weird stuff in her room. Well, it feels like her room, anyway, and she'd made sure to check the door just in case.]

He is! He's the best Papa in the whole Guardian Space!

That's great. [Her smile is relieved, if a bit sad, before it fades.]

You should be careful, though. Not everyone's nice.

What do you mean?

[flawedgem]

[That face. :c Quickly] Everyone here has been really friendly, so far. But... some people are cruel. Especially if you're different.

Re: video

[looksfine]

You mean, 'cause I'm a robot?

Nobody's said bad things to me. I don't think they mind.

[Another relieved smile.]

That's good. And if anyone does - don't listen.

Re: video

[looksfine]

Okay.

You're really nice, Miss Barbara.

[flawedgem]

[Her eyes widen, and her smile turns bashful.]

Um - thanks. I try. Most of the time.

And - just Barbara is okay. Or Babs.

Re: video

[looksfine]

Babs.

[Aya smiles widely. She likes that name.]

Okay.

Thank you for talking to me, Babs. I hope you find the wheels-chair person.

[Barbara grins back.]

Thanks. It was great to meet you, Aya.

Re: video

[looksfine]

You too.

Will you be my friend?

video

[flawedgem]

[Her smile's a bit shy, but her voice is firm.] 'Course I will.

Re: video

[looksfine]

[Aya doesn't notice either the shyness or the firmness. She's too busy being exciting over having made a new friend.]

Did you want to play? We could be space adventurers flying all over the galaxy!

[flawedgem]

[Her smile slowly widens. She hasn't played like that since she left Marcy.]

Can we fight space pirates?

Re: video

[looksfine]

We have to find them first! Then we can fight them with space swords and save the princess.
