Who: Tempo [open to all]
Where: Libra apartments
Summary: Tempo is out and about, trying to introduce herself to her new neighbors
Warnings: None, aside from having to deal with an emotionally confused robot girl

Tempo had spent the last few days since arriving in the city alone. This was what she preferred... without Doctor LaLinde, it was hard to know what to do with anyone when it came interacting with them.

But she knew she couldn't live like this forever, which was why she had forced herself out of her apartment, determined to introduce herself to at least one person. She was starting with the lobby.

Of course, the fact that she looked absolutely terrified would be a sign that she wasn't quite ready for this...

Desco spends most of her time out in the city, but she does occasionally check in on her apartment, since she's had a long-term project going for quite a while now.

But anyway: you're an android of some kind, and you're female-shaped! Have a seven year old girl staring up at you with sparkly, shining eyes and wagging tail.

"Hello!"

[earthshakingbeat]

...!

"Um, hello," she said, a bit taken aback by how suddenly he appeared.

[tyrantball]

"Desco is pleased to meet you, miss Android!"

Desco flares the spines down the sides of her dress and curtsies politely as the three golden eyes on her torso blink.

"Can Desco know your name?"

[earthshakingbeat]

"... I'm Tempo," she said. "And... you're Desco?"

[tyrantball]

Nod nod.

"Yes! Desco's full name is Death/Extermination Submersible Combat Organism Kazamatsuri!"

Well.

That's...an unusual name.

Natsuki walked into the apartment to grab something she forgot earlier in the day from her apartment. The girl in the lobby caught her eye because she looked ready to jump out of her skin, like a rabbit that had had too much caffeine. Natsuki approached and asked, concerned

"Are you ok?"

sorry for the trouble

[earthshakingbeat]

"Hm?!" Tempo cried, almost jumping out of her artificial skin. Then, she turned to face Natsuki, laughing almost nervously.

"I-I'm fine!" she replied. "H-Hello, I'm Tempo! It's nice to meet you!"

[earthshakingbeat]

"... that's... that's a real mouthful," she said, laughing nervously.

Wait. Did he say "Death" in there?

[tyrantball]

She nods.

"Desco hears that a lot! That's why Daddy told her to just use her initials instead."

[prototype_blues]

Normally Blues didn't pay all that much attention to the people and places in the lower levels of the Libra apartments. They were just a place he walked through to get outside, and nothing special to him.

At least usually they are. Except he noticed Tempo on his way out and he just can't help it.

"Someone is going to mistake you for a statue, girl." He says from a couple feet away from the other robot, as he stopped on his way out.

[... argh. pronoun fail. sorry]

[earthshakingbeat]

"... I see. And what did your dad create you for...?"

No worries!

[tyrantball]

At this, Desco throws her arms in the air and cheers.

"To be the Ultimate Little Sister with advanced functionality!"

[earthshakingbeat]

For a brief moment, Tempo thought she was looking at someone else. Whoever this was, he looked a lot like Rock. Oh, he was clearly someone else entirely, but the similarities were still striking.

"... a-ah, statue?" she exclaimed. "What do you mean?"

R

[earthshakingbeat]

"... That's... a certainly odd function..." Tempo said aloud, honestly sounding very confused.

[prototype_blues]

Blues blinks, not that Tempo can see that since he is wearing his sunglasses. The fact she's standing around and doesn't seem to be doing much makes her seem kinda like a statue.

At least that's what he meant by saying that.

"I mean you're not standing out much."

[tyrantball]

Beaming!

"Desco was made to fulfill Big Sis' dearest wish! That is why she has advanced functionality!"

[earthshakingbeat]

"... I see. In my world, robots are created for the sake of performing various tasks..."

[earthshakingbeat]

"... I see," Tempo replied nervously. "I'm just... well, I'm trying to meet new people... so I can see how that'd be a problem..."

[tyrantball]

Desco blinks a little at this and tilts her head to the side.

"But Desco isn't a robot! Desco is a bioweapon!"

[prototype_blues]

He crosses his arms over his chest as she spoke, frowning.

"More so since you're hiding inside a building," Blues said, not sounding like he actually cares for her reasons for doing this. He gestures towards the exit. "Why not go out instead?"

[earthshakingbeat]

"... Outside."

She repeated him, and... ended up looking kind of terrified. It had been hard enough just coming down to the lobby and letting her guard down. Outside... outside was a completely different story.

"... W-well, I just wanted to get to know my neighbors..."

[prototype_blues]

"... by standing in a corner."

Well okay, she wasn't really in a corner. But Blues isn't one for sticking his nose into others business unless he felt like it, and he didn't really care much about Tempo. Heck, she had just been a name he heard once in the past, not anyone he ever met.

But... She also knows Rock, so maybe it might be a good idea to at least be polite to her. Maybe.

"Well you met one, at least?" He means himself.

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma is merely walking through to her apartment when she sees someone new in the lobby! Maybe they live here now! And are a new neighbor! That means Tachikoma should say hello.]

Hi! Do you live here? Are you new? It's nice to meet you! I'm Tachikoma! What's your name?

[likethewolf]

Natsuki jumps herself when the surprised Tempo reacts.

"Y-Yeah... I'm Natsuki. I guess you're new here?"

[earthshakingbeat]

"... That'd be correct," she said with a sigh. "Is it that obvious?"
