Sleeping habits as taught by Pixies

[genkibot]

Who: Tachikoma and Nikolai Volkov
Where: Libra Ward Apartment Complex, Tachikoma's room
When: Saturday morning
Summary: Pixies are introducing Tachikoma to a new friend
Warnings: Tachikoma is oblivious as usual

It took Tachikoma awhile to get use to the concept of sleeping. Usually at the end of the day, she and the other Tachikomas would just get in their recharge stations and shut off for the day while their memories were synchronized. The concept that her human body gets fatigued and needs rest was a bit of surprise to her, but she got the hang of it.

Of course she still doesn't understand some other parts of it. For example, she usually sleeps in the clothes she was wearing that day. She also usually sleeps on top of the bed. It makes it easier to make the bed though, just need to straighten up the covers.

That's why it's a surprise that there a lump covered by the blankets of her bed this morning. She didn't know you could sleep under the covers. Tachikoma makes a note to try that later, for now, she probably should figure out who or what that lump is. And she decides to figure it out by the standard 'poke it' method.

"Hello? Lumpy thing? How'd you get here?"

[Well, something bizarre was happening in town again. From the reports coming in, the modus operandi this time around was harmless pranking - nothing to cause permanent damage or anything much more severe than acute embarrassment, but something of an inconvenience, still. On this day, as he has done the last few days, Atsuro wakes up and very carefully checks his room for traps and other such nefarious plots before declaring the coast clear.

The first order of business, of course, is to check the forums he frequents for updates. Atsuro logs on and happily begins to browse the web, somehow failing to notice an extra device stuck into his USB port that wasn't there the night before... A green light flashes on this foreign wireless communications device as the computer starts up. 

...Whoa.  10 new responses.  It was time, as it always was, to edumacate the masses with his wealth of knowledge.  Atsuro clicks the Reply button on topics titled things like 'LF: Radishes, FT: Parsnips', 'how do u get the hammar?' and 'What do the gold tools do?']

Yeah, you have to catch a arapaima in the tropical region to unlock the gold fishing rod. It just gives you an extra bite at the line before the fish escapes.

Anyone want to trade something for daikon radishes? I don't know where all of these came from, but I'm running out of inventory space. I still need to get some arugula growing...

The hammer is kind of useless if you're not going to fight the optional tanuki boss. When he tries to make you pay your loans, you can refuse and fight him for a discount instead. Hammer the weak point for massive damage - or you can use the platinum shovel to create spiked pitfalls.

[TAB to the next screen TAB to the next screen TAB to the next screen....

And across town, whoever is talking to Nano may suddenly find themselves staring at Nano's arm. Which is now cake. Awkward.]

[action, June 30th, 13th Hour]
[Wow that fiasco with Nano had been horrifying to figure out probably the worst thing was that the cake had looked pretty delicious it was hard to problem solve when you kept thinking about taking a bite out of your good friend's cake hand. It is the 13th Hour now as Atsuro decides it is time to step away from his games for a night and actually do the job he was sent here to do. There's something off about Chouchin-obake; it had been impossible to fail to notice as it had grown stronger with repeated training. While the Persona was definitely improving attack-wise, something was... off. It wasn't like Enki, with whom he had felt more and more unified the stronger it had become. Or even Gates, with whom he had shared something of a definite camaraderie by the end.

No, Chouchin-obake just grew more and more ornery and more likely to set random things on fire of its own accord. ...Maybe it was time for a switch.

Caught up in these thoughts, Atsuro is slightly unprepared when he stumbles across the giant rock sitting smack dab in the middle of the Cancer district. He is even more unprepared when it sits up and punches him in the face without so much as a grunt to announce its presence.]

Ow!

[The Spriggan unfolds itself and lumbers towards the boy, whose immediate reaction is to thrust his hands into his pockets for his COMP which he had found sitting on his end table before he'd gone out.

...

OK let's try that again. Thrusting his hands into his pockets for his COMP.  Thrusting his hands.... OK, thrusting his hands and he finds... his, uh... belt? And... six tiny red balls.............. what.]

Uh...

[He prods at one. It spits out an enormous bug. The bug promptly turns around and spits fire at Atsuro.]

What's going on?!

((The first response will probably actually be threads with Nano if anyone is interested in responding to that.  The fairies have hooked it up so that every time Atsuro presses TAB, Nano spits out rollcake! 

Additionally it is also cool to say that the faeries also hooked it up so that everything he types personally is broadcast to the public.))
