You don't have to yell into it for me to hear you.
I said you called me.
no subject
[ Whoops. ]
Weird.
[ Well, she's got nothing better to do so. ]
Having fun playing house with everyone else who can't float?
no subject
[It's said immediately and irritably. She's half-tempted to go wailing on a tree because there's nothing better to do.]
I'm not useful up here.
no subject
[ Her voice is probably disproportionately casual considering where she is. Imagine calling up your buddy on the way back from running errands to ask them what flavor frozen yogurt they want. it's like that. ]
Can't you just.. dunno.. exist? Watch the sunrise and meditate or something?
no subject
[Simon had told her that she didn't have to be what YoRHa wanted her to be, but putting this in practice is hard to envision, outside of her narrow field of experience.]
I'm doing nothing right now. Don't need to add a sunrise to it to make it more of nothing.
no subject
[ never mind that she was the one who'd called A2?? It's a fruitless endeavor but she rolls her eyes anyway. ]
You think you're the only person here who's had to suddenly figure out what the fuck to do with themselves? Every one in this shitty hole and on dry land was in the same boat or still is. If you want to do something then just do it.
[ hypocritical, maybe (probably). But it's because she understands that she snaps. ]
no subject
[kick rocks!!]
Even when you're underwater, you're annoying. [She hums in thought. Idly:] Maybe you could write a book on being annoying, and I could read it. Then I'd have something to do.
[She sounds like even more of a pissy baby than usual, which is incredible, given that she almost always sounds some level of irritated.]
no subject
[ the annoyingly sweet tone is dropped so she can scoff. ]
Are you seriously just going to do nothing and then be pissed off about the fact that you're doing nothing? I can't remember the last time I heard something that pathetic.
it reminded me i had to respond to this to make a2 be a dick
no subject
I wasn't fucking finished!
no subject
She answers back. :/]
What.
no subject
[ It's hard to tell if she's excited or impatient. Maybe both. ]
Hang up again and I'll just keep calling until you have to eat your fucking bracelet. I have a lot of time to kill, so don't think I won't.
no subject
You really don't have anything better to do...
[Finally, after a while:]
I've never had this much downtime.
no subject
[ ... ]
If I was stuck up there I'd be losing my mind too. Don't know how to co-exist with normal people, or kill time in ways that don't involve.. well, killing.
[ Following along the heels of that though, her voice goes from quiet and thoughtful to vaguely scolding. ]
But I wouldn't whine about it, at least.
[ never mind that.. she called A2... ]
no subject
[She sounds more huffy than actually angry and adds:]
Twice!
[There's the sound of her kicking at something on the ground. Probably a rock, the motion more idle than frustrated.
Some part of her recognizes that Zero is attempting to commiserate, if in a way that A2 has decided is typical of her.] ...It's not just that.
This is the first time I've been around humans. And...it's the first time in a while I've been around other YoRHa androids.
[There's a little sigh, and she sounds less petulant and more hesitant.]
It's strange.
[If she had something to do, to fight, to throw herself at, she wouldn't have to be left alone with her thoughts, which was always the worst thing she could think of.]
no subject
[ Zero makes a quiet sound of acknowledgement, but otherwise it's mostly silent on her end. She hadn't been expecting that honest an answer, despite being the one who asked in the first place. ]
You never thought about what you would do if you ever ran into humans and other– what'd you call them? Yooha androids?
Doesn't matter if it's stupid or unrealistic, just tell me whatever the fuck you always thought you would do.
no subject
[She corrects, though patiently, for once.
There's a while before she says anything else.]
Never thought I'd live long enough to meet humans. Never thought I'd see most of the other YoRHa androids again either. Not like this.
[It's true and said with the sort of blank dullness that she usually gave morbid information in. She never thought she'd see most of these other androids alive again, and she had not thought she and 9S would have reached any sort of understanding, even one made begrudgingly and likely at the request of 2B.]
...
I used to think I'd ask the humans how long the war was going to last. When we'd get to meet them.
[Why they had been left behind, if they cared at all, if they were proud of them.]
What the world was like before the machines, I guess.
no subject
Well, I don't know whatever the fuck most of that means– but honestly that's pretty much how it always goes when you manage to make sounds that aren't just grunting noises.
[ But to her credit, she did listen seriously. ]
But I don't know why you can't do those things despite all of that.
[ a pause ]
You remember that one time? When you tried to kill me but you got some shit in your eye and started crying? I said some bullshit about how you were dead on the inside, but honestly if you're this bent out of shape about all of this you're probably just trying to figure out how to live.
[ She shrugs on the other end of the line, not at A2 can see. ]
No point in being so worked up over it. People who are supposedly geniuses spend their whole fucking lives trying to figure out the meaning of life or whatever. No way a dumbass like you is gonna' figure it out right away.
no subject
[There's a pause.
Eventually, she speaks up again, her tone thoughtful.]
You must really be bored if you're trying to be helpful.
no subject
[ Again, she is offended at the prospect of coming off as being helpful of all things. ]
But I am bored. And cold, and wet.
That's not the point– all I'm saying is that you just need to calm down and stop thinking about all this shit so much. It's annoying as hell to listen to and even worse to watch.
no subject
[You don't fool her Zero. Tsunderes be knowin other tsunderes. Game recognize game.]
I am calm. [
Is there water in your ears? Like I said, you can get lost at any time if I'm so annoying to you. Make yourself useful down there instead of being a pain in my ass.
1/2
[ RIP anyone in the general vicinity of Zero while she's having this conversation, because she's definitely yelling and its definitely echoing like crazy. ]
Hey, I think I found a way for you to keep busy! Considering shaving a few pounds off your giant metal ass before the next one of these field trips. Then you won't be stuck on land whining.
no subject
i fucking hate them 1/2
That's not how it works, asshole! Oh, I've got it. Here's an idea for you: try growing a brain before the next mission! Maybe then you won't be stuck repeating yourself.
2/2
