[Guess who is sick? And ~~dragged to the hospital against her will~~ stuck in the hospital.]

I don't want none o' your doctors. [She wheezes into the device, smart enough to keep it off.]

What I need is a wise woman. There are herbs and teas t'do me fine, none o' these metal machines. [She has to lean over to cough. It sounds like she's hacking a lung out.]

I won't stay here. In this metal buildin'. I'll fight me way out. I swear-- [And another coughing fit takes over before she just ends the feed.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[And with that she sends him her room number and then clicks the feed off.]

[ It doesn't take him long to arrive, after all, he's been looking after Collette not far from here. He sends his holomatter in, knocking first before opening the door. ]

Ygritte?

[She just sits back, not expecting him as a him.] Hello?

Hey there. It's Drift. You haven't seen my human avatar in person yet, have you?

[ He chuckles, letting himself in and closing the door behind him. ]

A what? [Language, Drift...]

It's a holomatter avatar that matches me to a different species for easier- er.

Hm.

It's like a costume or a different body I can put myself into.

[ He pulls up a chair. ]

Why would you do that? [She coughs.]

When I was stuck living amongst humans for a while, we had to use these. We also use them to blend in with more organic environments. They work so that whatever best suits us is shown in human traits...

Want a glass of water?

So you're not metal?

[She coughs before shaking her head. She's fine.]

Nope. Not like this, anyways. Heh, do I look metal?

[ he holds out his hand to her, palm out so she can test if she wants. ]

See?

[She hesitantly touches his hand before looking back at him.]

So y'can sometimes look like a person?

Yeah. Pretty neat, huh?

[ He puts on his best grin. Probably picked that up from Rodimus. ]

'Snot natural. [Well you asked. She looks at him, though she hasn't really kicked him out. So let's call this progress.]

Does that bother you?

[ He gives a wry smile quirking a brow, a little challenging, but he's getting used to the finer details of this puppet. ]

It's almost like the real thing. Almost.

No. [She just watches him though.]

Just is.

How accepting of you.

[ Just a little bit of sass. ]

Do you want to play a game, maybe?

What sort?

I have some games. Mostly strategy games you play on a holo-projector.

[ He makes a slight gesture with his hand and brings up a small holographic display that sits in place in front of him. There's a list there, but it's definitely in no known human language. He hums, selecting one off the list. The projection shifts to a little game board grid. ]

I could teach you. This one is fairly straight forward and easy to pick up.

[She moves her hand through the holographic image, even as he's scrolling through it. She's quite amazed at, having seen nothing quite like it.]

Where does that come from?

[ He can't help but chuckle a little. ]

What this? It's a holo-projection. Kind of like this body, though a lot more simple and less solid.

You can interact with it. See?

[ He presses a finger on one of the grid points, and it places a game piece. ]

Try it.

[Her finger moves to touch the piece, but it goes straight through.]

It's just like light.

Just like that, basically.

[ He places another game piece, this time white as opposed to black. ]

You can do all kinds of things with it. Games like these, videos, music, reading, information reference and basic survey tools... It's pretty handy.

All with this pretty light?

[She wiggles her fingers again in the hologram, more amused by the distortion of the image than the game itself.]

Yep! Here... try this.

[ He laughs, enjoying her fascination with it. Tapping away from the game, he brings up a small display, a color pattern generator. Just a fun toy to pass the time. He places it between them, swiping a finger over the 'surface', making a small streak of green light. It's funny to think the things he takes for granted are something so foreign. ]

[Her eyes rise even higher and her hand joins his before he looks up at him with awe.]

And you can do this? Control light like this?
