Test Drive VII

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Time for another one of these, right in time for ATP tomorrow!

test drive meme!

Here's how it works!

➊ wanna play a character but don't have the time? or maybe you just want to test them out?
➋ well go for it! post them here like they're already in the game (text, voice, video or action), and have them talk to characters already in the big gay Garden! Be sure to put their name and fandom in the subject line, for those of us who don't know it.
➌ then app them because you know you want to. 8|

Happy hunting on the ATP!

[a human? Perhaps. Something is strange about this one, but it's a good sign she hasn't attacked on sight. In an effort to regain some dignity, Lambda shoves the cat away from her in a surprising display of strength for such a small child. It skitters away, hissing, offended. She watches it go with no remorse.]

I do not.

[she attempts to pick herself up, inwardly cursing the limitations of the humanoid body she was returned to. It had been lost in the shuttle crash a century ago, so why was it intact? Had someone built another one? And why?]

[She had to find Asbel before the Little Queen appeared again. He didn't stand a chance without her, the idiot.]

[she realizes this means she has to revise her previous statement.]

Just what is this place?

[cobbledtogether]

Energy output... Abnormal. Phenomenon unknown... Standing by.

[She neither approaches nor backs away was she stands, drifting to the side slightly as she surveys the newcomer.]

Location: Unknown. It is referred to colloquially as "the Gardens".

[lastalian]

[that way of speaking--]

You're a humanoid.

[the joints of her fingers creak slightly as she curls them into s fist, but she doesn't move, otherwise. She's practically powerless like this, she shouldn't present herself as a threat.]

Are there sentient life-forms here?

[cobbledtogether]

...? Yes.

[She tilts her head a little. That much seems obvious to her.]

The estimated population ranges between 50 and 100 individuals.

[lastalian]

[at least humanoids had logical programming they obeyed. This one was clearly combat-capable, but it didn't seem to be looking for a fight.]

I see. [her voice goes a little dull.] Are you the only humanoid?

[cobbledtogether]

[tilts...head...]

No. Most observed individuals are humanoid.

[lastalian]

[there's a short silence before she realizes the communication problem.]

By "humanoid", I am referring to the term used to designate artificially created life-forms, rather than a general description of any individual's appearance.

[cobbledtogether]

...I do not know. I have not been able to analyze every individual present.

[She doesn't know Subaru's origins. The other robotic individuals she has known have sense disappeared.]

[lastalian]

I see.

[another short silence, then:]

What is your purpose here?

[cobbledtogether]

The commonly accepted purpose of our abduction is the formation of interpersonal relationships amongst residents.

[Probably not exactly the answer she was looking for, but.]

[lastalian]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[cobbledtogether]

[...]

The meaning of ridiculous... Deserving or inspiring ridicule; absurd, preposterous, or silly.

[Well, she can't argue with that.]
