I do love the arcade and the racetrack~ and I'm still looking for somebody to beat my high scores, but there are a couple of nice bars if you'd just like a drink.

Ah... is that a racetrack for—cars?

I'm not really that good at games, but—I guess if you had a bar you'd recommend, then.

It sure is. You could always go to the museum.

[ she motions to one bar that's just painted into the scenery and then another that shrike can absolutely enter, but it's like the textures never completely loaded and the people inside are all glitchy. ]

[ after like, poking at the two establishments for a hot second each— ]

...DVa, I think there's something a little odd about the first one?

[ she looks at the bar and... seems confused. ]

...oh, yeah, that one's a little loud. I'd definitely go to the second.

........there's not actually a door? It's just... like a backdrop?

I think dying might have gotten to you. [ she'll drag shrike over to the bar they CAN go into and order her a water. ]

[ ........huh

well. hydration is important. it becomes more real when DVa's focusing on it? ]

...maybe I was just having nerves because it's not usually the sort of place I spend time...?

[ what the heckie is going on. ]

[ she is definitely manipulating the background as best she can, though, once again, things haven't really loaded in properly. the textures are all wrong and some of them aren't even there at all. the people are faceless, clipping through furniture, and glitching all around. ]

[ d.va doesn't seem to be paying any of that any mind. ]

Maybe. [ she gets a drink for herself. ]

Do you come here often...?

[ this is actually very distracting. ]

...and, I guess—well, who are your friends here?

I do.

And... Jae is probably my best friend. She's my personal assistant. She's back in the waiting room, if you'd like to talk to her. Sweet girl.

Oh—not the fellow at the desk, then?

How'd you meet her?

I like him, sure, but he never leaves the waiting room, so we don't hang out at all. Jae, on the other hand, is tons of fun.

And she came to me in literal pieces. Someone killed her. And then she didn't want to go back to the production.

—wait, was she in Tokyo-F?

Yep. Her and Dae-yun were both on the production once upon a time.

Dae-yun? Ah—I don't think I ever met them, somehow, which I'm kind of surprised about.

...what units were they on?

Dae-yun was on LiliS and Jae was on ☆ZRAEL.

I... should remember them, then, since—well, Amaranth would be beside herself if one of her unitmates died like that.

And ZRAEL's pretty keen on protecting their own...

He killed himself to avoid staying on the production and Jae... wasn't well liked. I don't remember much of what happened, but neither of them wanted to return.

...oh.

Well—actually, if she's a dear friend of yours... I'd like to meet her.

Did they not tell you much, or...

I'm sure she'd like to make some more friends.

I'm pretty sure she repressed whatever happened, because all I ever got was "I don't know" or "I don't remember".

Well—I'll try not to cause her undue stress. And I'm sure at the very minimum Amaranth will be relieved to hear that she's elsewhere and doing well.

[ she finishes her glass of water and stands. ]

How long ago was she on the program?

A couple of months at most.

And she's pretty happy go lucky so I doubt you'll be able to do that.

Oh, well—in that case, I'm glad that she's recovered from things since...

...then, let's go?

[ she finishes her drink and heads for the door. ] You go on along without me. I need to get some work done, but feel free to text me or, if you want to meet up again, I'll be in the hotel. [ motions across town. ]
