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.

[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?

[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

[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?

[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

[painfeels]

I'm alright, really. No big deal.

It's uh, good to see you too.

[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.]

[painfeels]

Hi, Med'an.

How're you doing?

[fidget.]

[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.]

[biwinning]

FF'th right. You are pretty cute.

Video

[lifemelody]

I'm glad you are.

And the other two are right. You do look cute without the mask.

Video

[painfeels]

[no!!]

C-Come on. You can't really think that.

Black and red eyes aren't cute, and neither are all these scars.

Video;

[painfeels]

[does she even know you?! maybe somewhat.

but still!!]

You guys can't be serious.

[biwinning]

[Not enough, but he lives with Feferi and wanted to see what she was making a deal about.]

Uh, yeah, tho what if we are?

video

[breakin_ur_lore]

I'm....

[He thinks about all that anger and pain and shame he had, right after their failed mission. Yeah.]

...alright.

[Yeah. Totally.]

What about you? Did you get hurt badly during the battle? [Maybe worrying about her is a better idea? He can see those scars, of course, but he's not sure if he thinks they're new enough for him to do anything about.]

Video

[lifemelody]

But I do. I've had friends with scars like yours before, and another one whose face was pure black but yellow eyes. He was certainly cute.

[video]

[shelkethetransparent]

Mm. Good.

[Shelke shifts faintly, frowning at the phone. Then she shrugs slightly.]

I should be fine eventually.

[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.

[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. )

[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.

[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]

[weapabilities]

Hmm. I think you look better without it.

[perdre]

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

I've never seen eyes like yours.

O-Oh... Bariyan.

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