[ The video pans across one of the communal rooms before centering on Dorian. He looks overwhelmed and thrilled at the same time. ]

Okay, so this is amazing. I have a room with a bed — and I'm not entirely sure what they expect me to do with that. Also my own chair! It's a sweet deal.

[ Seriously. A chair. His own space. Let the android have his moment okay. ]

Unfortunately, I don't think my charging station came with me on the trip here. Does anyone know anyone technically minded or with a large amount of appliances and scrap? I kind of need it so I don't run out of power. Low charges are hellish.

I can pay you? I think I get wages now. Amazing.

[ Thankfully, Rose doesn't need warming up most of the time. In fact, she prefers the opposite. Cold as possible climates, pls and thx. ]

Oh, yeah? You got all sorts of cool functions!

[sentiences]

I certainly like to think so.

[hasitsthorns]

What else can you do? If that isn't too invasive of a question, I guess.

[sentiences]

It is a long list.

[hasitsthorns]

I've got time.

[sentiences]

I have a lot of internet and network capabilities, able to draw out information and store it. I can get into almost any system as well.

[hasitsthorns]

Woah, neat. So you're like... a hacker?

[sentiences]

I . . . suppose. Though as a police officer, I have that jurisdiction.

[hasitsthorns]

Huh! Neat. So, you're with the fuzz. That's... interesting.

I don't think we have actual robocops where I'm from. Is that offensive? Sorry if it is.

[sentiences]

It doesn't bother me.

[ Being called robocop is hardly insulting as much as the way Dorian's been treated before. ]

What's interesting about it?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Rose just has a tendency to speak before she thinks, but- Good to know it's not offensive. She won't, like, use it as a nickname. It was just the only comparison she could think to make. ]

My world doesn't have technology that advanced. It's cool to think someday we will though!

[sentiences]

I'm sure your world is special in its own right.

[hasitsthorns]

I mean, I'unno. It's alright.

[sentiences]

[ His eyebrows go up. ]

That's all?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Mm. Well- ]

I don't know. Compared to some of the other places I've heard about already with dragons and monsters [ which her world has too but, y'know, gotta keep spinning that web of lies ] mine seems... Kind of plain?

Nothing to write home about, anyway.

[sentiences]

[ Hmm. ]

It just seems like an odd way to refer to one's world. Most people share some kind of connection with it, people or places. Memories. Enough to make it lasting as a home.

[hasitsthorns]

I moved around a lot. So, I don't really have any 'home' like most people do.

[sentiences]

Even so, the world usually leaves some kind of tangible response. And you must have a favourite place of some kind?

[hasitsthorns]

[ That? That's easy to answer. ]

Japan. It's my home country and... Even for not having a 'home' for a long time, it always called me back.

[sentiences]

[ Dorian nods. ]

It holds a piece of you.

[hasitsthorns]

[ That's one way to put it. Sometimes, Rose thinks it's more like a vice grip she'll never be able to escape. ]

Yeah. It's hard to deny that, I guess.

[sentiences]

No, I don't suppose any of us can.
