[ for his part, tetora's found a chair to spin around in and is zooming around the room like a child. there's also a knife in his hand, having found one already. it's technically a scalpel, but hey, pointy things. ]

You're in hell. You've died and come back to live your worst nightmare. Welcome to eternal suffering.

What's up.

[twoaffirmations]

[He lets out a quiet scoff.] Hell's not real... Even if it is, we androids couldn't go there.

[Heaven was real though, at least in Crow's world. It made him wonder, or it would, but his mind's in too much of a fog. He slowly sits up and rubs his head.]

How long was I out?

[nishizono]

How would you know if you're not in hell, though?

[ it's a legitimate question - if they're all dead, that is. tetora spins in his chair, prodding his fingers with the tip of the scalpel. ]

You were out for a few minutes. Nothing exciting. How are you feeling?

[twoaffirmations]

How wouldn't I? We're clearly in the medbay...

[He makes a wry face.]

My systems have cooled off, but emergency shut downs aren't something you really want to happen. Emergency's right there in the name. I'm going to have to perform a systems check and make sure nothing was corrupted.

[nishizono]

[ tetora smiles to himself; the dick on 9s's face is moving along with every gesture the other makes, and it's a sight to see. ]

Do you want me to stand watch while you do that? You don't have to strip down to nakedness for it, right? You can do it sitting down and all?

[twoaffirmations]

W-why would I need to strip naked?

[He's so bewildered by the assumption that he stutters.]

[nishizono]

[ he just shrugs empathically, because why not? ]

How would I fuckin' know, you're the one who has to shut down and shit. Do you need to strip naked?

[twoaffirmations]

Noo! [He'll stay clothed, thanks. Not that he minds, but it's the fact of the matter.]

It's not that kind of systems check.

[nishizono]

Then what kind of systems check is it? What do you have to do?

[ he's just going to be spinning his chair here, considering where else he can draw penises on 9s's frame. maybe on the back of his neck? ]

[twoaffirmations]

It's all internal sooo... It's not going to look like much. I'm just going to run some diagnostics.

[He wonders about leaving Tetora alone while he recedes into hacking space, though.]

[nishizono]

So... like you're sitting and staring off into space? That seems pretty boring.

[ tetora rolls the chair towards 9s this time, and points at him with the flat end of the scalpel. ]

You're gonna be unprotected during then, right?

[twoaffirmations]

Um, kind of?

[He blinks down at the scalpel. It's not all that threatening to an android as it is, but the idea still gives him goosebumps.]

You know what, maybe I'll just do it in my room!

[nishizono]

[ he pulls back in a snicker; this is funny to him, even if it seems really dangerous for 9s. ]

Let me go with you, I wanna see how an android shutting down looks like. I'll stay by the door, if you're shy!

[twoaffirmations]

... [That laugh just makes him tense.]

Haha...yeaaah. You already saw me shut down, I'm not shutting down again.

[nishizono]

It could be fun! For me, anyway.

[ he spins to a stop and makes a finger gun aimed at 9s, makes the ptchoo sound as he fires off an imaginary projectile at the android teen. ]

It'll be a learning experience for the both of us.

[twoaffirmations]

[Having fake guns fired at him isn't make him any less tense, actually, thanks!]

Uhhh, I'll pass! [He'll just be sliding off the metal bed now too.]
