7th Experiment [video / action for roommates]

[painfeels]

[The user ID definitely says "Painwheel" but that has to be a mistake. She hardly ever actually shows her face on the network to begin with. And those that do know what she looks like will notice that something is definitely missing.]

U-Um... hi. It's me, Painwheel.

[The deep, raspy voice matches.]

My mask got ruined during the attack and... There wasn't much point in getting it fixed, so I decided to take it off.

[Seems like it was done forcefully, as she's got some serious scarring going on.]

I know usually talk with text, but I was thinking about getting away from that. For a while, actually.

[Painwheel looks really seems really nervous about this, given how she keeps looking away and back to the camera, and awkwardly scratching the back of her head.]

So here I am.

[Woah. He doesn't know how she usually looks, but this wasn't what he was expecting regardless. And he can tell how nervous she is about it. But when the turns the video on (yay lets have weird faces together), he just gives her a little smile.]

Hi, Painwheel.

[painfeels]

Hi, Med'an.

How're you doing?

[fidget.]

[shelkethetransparent]

[And for a nice reversal, half of Shelke's face is still covered in bandages. But she doesn't seem phased by Painwheel at all, she just sort of nods faintly, as if she approves.]

...Were you injured?

[video]

[painfeels]

Nothing major. I'm all better now.

[Painwheel would like to know what happened to her face but... she has better manners than that.]

What about you? You gonna be okay?

[still.]

[video]

[weapabilities]

[ Most organics look weird to him, so Drift has no frame of reference. That and he's never spoken to this one before, but the mention of a mask gets his attention. ]

What kind of mask do you usually wear?

[video]

[painfeels]

This one.

[Painwheel brings it up so he can see. It's definitely looked better, and it has chunks of it missing.]

It wasn't something I could've taken on and off so...

[Hence the scars on her face.]

[lifemelody]

[So that's what she looks like under the mask. Dagger of course, wasn't phased by it. So instead she'll look friendly at her]

It's good to see you.

You weren't hurt, were you?

Video

[painfeels]

I'm alright, really. No big deal.

It's uh, good to see you too.

video

[fintastic]

Oh no, you're cute!

[ Yes, that is the most important thing right now. ]

You're okay though, right?

video

[painfeels]

C-Cute?! No! I'm not...

[oh no, she's being called cute!!]

Video;

[biwinning]

FF'th right. You are pretty cute.

Video;

[painfeels]

[does she even know you?! maybe somewhat.

but still!!]

You guys can't be serious.

[voice]

[stonefaith]

[ There's a face he hasn't seen in a while. Of course, she seems far more nervous now than she had the last time he'd seen her without her mask.... ]

Hello, Painwheel.

That's quite brave of you.

O-Oh... Bariyan.

It's not... I mean. I didn't think it was...

[video 2/2]

[painfeels]

... Do you like it?

[velveteened]

( he doesn't know her at all, but - )

It's a good thing you did, with a pretty face like that!

( said with perfect sincerity, actually. )

video;

[painfeels]

I-It's not pretty! I don't know why everybody keeps saying that...

[could it be because it's true?

... nah.]

[Action]

[speakveryclearly]

[Oh here is her alien roommate just standing nearby with her arms crossed after Painwheel is done responding. She has a short, but stout warm glow.] I'm very proud of you.

[Action]

[painfeels]

Huh? Oh... [figures that canasta would've seen that as well.]

I-It's... I was really nervous about taking it off. But I'm glad I did it.

[voice;] name assigned is "Robin"

[pixieboots]

Hey. [ It's awkward, and he hesitates and then just kind of leaves it there for a minute anyway. But it feel wrong somehow, not to say something. Even if she is a stranger. ]

Must be something going around.

video; got it

[painfeels]

You think?

...

What is?

[perdre]

Sorry your mask got ruined. [Though he doesn't really mean that.]

I've never seen eyes like yours.

[painfeels]

I'm not. I didn't really like it. But I guess I was afraid to take it off.[see?]

As for my eyes, that's probably a good sign.

[revolutionized]

[Utena raises a bandaged hand — the greeting is subdued, but genuine. She's surprised at the scars, but not really frightened. This girl seems more nervous than scary.] Hi, Painwheel.

D'you feel better, now that your mask is gone? [She doesn't know why she's asking, but it seems like that's the case.]

[painfeels]

H-Hello...

[who's nervous?]

Um, it do feel more relieved. I didn't really like it all that much, and it feels like I...

Like I got part of my life back.

[aceordisgraced]

!!

Painwheel, did you get that treated?

[painfeels]

Get what treated?

[she doesn't really see or notice any open wounds??]
