Setting
"Looks like we are here." Aoi said. Before getting off the bus, Aoi replied ot Kali's questions: "If all three of us would create the MMO you would need to either learn programming, modelling or find something you can do to contribute. Specifically we cannot just do some standard scripting, but make in game AI more interactive so that the only way you recognize that they are AI is that they have a specific icon over their heads or have their names in a specific color."
As Aoi got off, she notice a sign on the building: "Yotsugi Tech-Center Apartments Building A" About it was a paper written on with what seemingly seemed to be crayons. It read in a colorful fashion: "Welcome Tatsuda-san, Shigohama-san and White-san! -Your new neighbors!"
"I guess the people living here have been told already of our arrival." Aoi said. The door opened and a woman in a kimono was behind it. From the looks of her, she was also a cyborg. Age wise, she appeared no older than 30. She had blue hair.
"I have been expecting you three. My name is Kokoro Kizuri. I live on the sixth floor. You might meet the others later throughout the day." The woman said.
OOC: Reference pic for Kokoro.
Kali had to still choose few things she wanted from insurance company, and one or two could be about programming or modelling.
When it seemed they reached their destination, and someone who happened to be a cyborg welcomed them Kali felt confused.
âWhy are we actually welcomed so much here, it feels weird to say the least.â she said aloud what she thought, while looking at sign, and colorful greeting from their new neighbors.
Kali could assume itâs a matter of neighbors trying to help trio adjust to this new life, or that there are many others here that are similar to them. Most likely either was wrong or partially wrong in her opinion, and so there was only one way to find out âwhich is to wait for reaction from that Kokoro.
From her Apperance, she seemed to be a cyborg as well. Well, it was a welcoming sight thatâs for sure. âGood Morning Kokoro. Please treat us well.â She gave a greeting with a nod of her head and a smile. Well, her new home was an apartment for now. This should prove to be filled with fun.
"Convenient." Aoi said. "Good to know that we will have an easy start. Why don't we go up to the apartments?"
And the neighbors, who knows how many interesting people lived here. If the people here were cyborgs than no doubt things would be good here. âYeah, Letâs go check the place out.â She spoke with a nod and smile.
Kali wanted to know how many people were like them, how would their new apartment look like exactly, and many other questions swirled in her mind.
Some of them would surely be answered quickly, while some may stay unanswered for months.
âKay, Iâm really curious to what kind of apartments we will see.â
"Thank you, Kokoro." Aoi said. "Come on guys, let's check it out."
She boarded the elevator and went up to the tenth floor. Their apartments were all next to each other facing the riverside of the building. Aoi went to the one marked with her name and did the procedure to unlock and open the door.
The apartment seemed pretty big. There was a full kitchen, a living area, a bedroom and a room with handy gadgets like a fabricator. In the bedroom was some tech such as charging cables, an ultra high speed cable for cybernet and maintenance tools. The home terminal was in the living room on the wall and featured additional functions such as changing the positions of furniture and changing decoration. "Neat." Aoi said.
What made her happy was writing-desk inside bedroom.
Some would think itâs weird place to have writing-desk, but itâs easier to go from bed to it, and creativity sometimes means you need to lie on bed with closed eyes, thinking about what you want to create.
Kali still had to change this room a lot, she had to buy laptop, and sketching tablet.
And...
There were still two other rooms she had to see sooner or later, but first she wanted to check upon the other two, who came with her.
âAoi, Tatsuda, Aoi, TatsudaâŠAoi.â With that weird choice of hers she went to see Aoiâs apartment first.
Before going into Aoiâs apartment, Kali decided to ask for permission to enter.
âHey Aoi, can I enter?â She stood in hall, waiting for response.
A nice, spacious apartment filled with all manners of things. Now all she needed was a basketball hoop and ball and everything would be fine. And it seemed to be pretty secure...They certainly had a great apartment. She decided to get well suited to her new apartment.
Though what about Tatsuda... â was a question in Kaliâs mind.
âHey Tatsuda, would you come sightseeing with us?â She yelled, considering Tatsuda seemed to still be inside her apartment.
"So let's check out the neighborhood and shops. And maybe in the evening, we can head over to the bar district in Tateishi." Aoi said.
Kali also wanted to check few things in electronics shop, so it would be great for her to know where such shop is.
âReally though, could we search for one place with pc's, laptops and so on?â
"I would love to find a curry place though or a Mister Donut."
Well, she was not the smartest person ever but since the brain can still take in nutrients from things they eat...Can she still get drunk?...Thatâs probably possible still. Well, never hurt to try it.
âSpicy, warmâŠcurry, letâs go for curry dish!â She yelled like a child, it wasnât her favorite dish, but one she liked much.
She thought where place with such curry could be, and something came to her mind.
âUmm, we could use map now, right?â
âStill, looking around with no map seems fun. Maybe we can find some of those small shops around corners and whatnot. Plenty of interesting places to explore, and I never been to this part of the city. That means any place is new and interesting. We got a whole night to burn!...Not battery life though...How exactly do we know how much battery life we got exactly? We got like a menu for that...right?â She asked.
She smiled, there was still another question that needed to be answered.
âAbout curry, I love Indonesian chicken curry, though there are so many kinds of curry dishes I donât mind trying something new.â
She followed Aoi and Tatsuda. Tatsuda asked a good question, there should be some kind of information about their battery.
âUmm, if we can access anything with just a thought, then maybe you can view it using your thoughts?â
"Well, somehow I was just able to access pre-installed files as if it was already learned. So you might be able to do it with the same ease." She said.
Once they reached the shopping arcade, Aoi was already scanning it. She spotted a curry shop at the other end of the strip, a good 400 meters away. "Unbelievable that I can read signs so far away. I see a curry place at the other end of the strip. That might give use time to look at shops along the way."
Kali intended to go through every file later, but first fun of exploring needed to be attended.
âCurry? Arcade? Everything we need, yay!â Kali yelled, already imagining what kinds of dishes will they be able to eat, and games that they might see or even get a chance to test out.
Kali also wondered if she could find what she needs in one of shops.
While they walked, she heard Kali energetically ready for some curry and the arcades. She chuckled a bit as she heard that. âLook At be being more quiet despite being the life of parties...Your making me feel old! I canât be outdone! Letâs have a great night on the town.â Tatsuda smiled and nodded as she spoke. This was the time to have a great time.
