seventh scripture. [ backdated to before hacking shenanigans ]

Um...

[ Sertoria holds up her tattered tunics one at a time to the camera - a few of them have old bloodstains, others look torn and tattered in a few areas.

She's in her robe while addressing the camera, so thankfully she's not completely exposed. ]

Would someone mind repairing these for me? I cannot offer any monetary compensation, but I can always gather materials or do any jobs you may have for me.

I'm in room 1-03 if you would like to take my measurements if these are too destroyed to work with.

Thank you very much if you are willing to do this for me.

Ah, I can repair them! My sewing isn't perfect, but it should be enough to patch them up.

[Video]

[immortalia]

Ah, April! I am relieved to know you are still here.

[ Creepy? Maybe. But it's one less person for Ruana to devour. ]

Do you require any materials?

[Video]

[technologic]

Ehe, it's nice to see you too, Sertoria.

[April smiles for a moment, before tilting her head in thought.]

Let's see... What are your clothes made out of?

[Video]

[immortalia]

--My apologies. Being here is not exactly a welcomed thing.

[ She hangs her head for a brief moment before checking to see what exactly they're made out of. ]

It appears they are made out of cotton and thread, primarily. I can list off the other chemicals and materials if you wish for further analysis.

[Video]

[technologic]

It's fine. After what we've found out, I think being here isn't too bad considering the alternative.

[April doesn't want to be Ruana food.]

And no, that's okay. Cotton and thread... I should be able to get my hands on some of that.

[Video]

[immortalia]

How true.

[ Neither does Sertoria on that front! ]

Very well. Do you want me to come accompany you?

[Video]

[technologic]

Sure! You could help me pick out how much cotton and stuff you think you would need.

[Video]

[immortalia]

Affirmative. Where should I meet you?

[Video]

[technologic]

Umm... Well, should we meet at the library?

If you'd like a second pair of hands, I'd be willing to help, too...I could use the work. [And the distraction.]

[A minute or so later, Rick remembers that the network doesn't log his name!]

I'm Patrick Dawn, I live down the hall. Sorry for the ambiguity!

...Also, if you'd rather I not be in your room, I can meet you somewhere else?

[ video ]

[immortalia]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Patrick. I am Sertoria Cani.

[...]

I would not mind. It is always a good thing for me to have more outfits to choose.

[text]

[bashfulshifter]

A pleasure to meet you as well.

I can get all the materials I need from the workshop, I think. But...I hate to be a nuisance...could you get someone else to do the measurements? I'll just stop by and pick everything up later.

[ Blink.

Blink. ]

I suppose not, but you should not need to worry about seeing me naked. I do not have nipples nor do I have a labia. So, there will not be anything revealing.

[ This is said with the straightest face imaginable. ]

[It's a really good thing that nobody is waiting behind Rick to use the terminal, because if anyone overheard that he would have actually just died then]

[In any case, it takes a while for him to collect his nerves and reply sensibly.]

Right...no offense, but...humor my human modesty.

[ video ]

[immortalia]

[ Sertoria's a patient android, so she decides to wait for him to gather his bearings. Was her honesty a factor in the wait?

Probably.

Damn. She'd have to work on that. ]

My sincerest apologies, then, for my honesty. I will try to work on that in the future.

I could also see if my maintenance manual has my measurements, too.

[text - so much amusement right now orz]

[bashfulshifter]

[Several key-mashes later...]

Oh, no, it's okay! Being honest is good.

[Oh now he's just sending mixed messages, emotions are hard]

Well...it looks like there are a couple others who have offered to help you with this, too. Maybe one of them could do the measuring, and I'll just...meet with them after the fact?

[video]

[rewindingly]

Have you found someone to help with that yet?

[video]

[immortalia]

I have, but I do not mind having more made.

[video]

[rewindingly]

[ She shakes her head. ] I will not offer more help if you have what you need. I'm glad that it worked out.

[video]

[immortalia]

Thank you, miss. If I do require your services, who may I contact?

[video]

[rewindingly]

Akemi Homura.

I may not be the best, but the subject has come up numerous times in Home Economics.

[video]

[immortalia]

[...] Is Akemi your first name or is Homura? There are a few of the people in the tower with a name like yours, hence why I am asking.

I believe you can make the best clothing imaginable if you put your mind to it.

[video]

[rewindingly]

Homura.

Do you not sew?

[video]

[immortalia]

Homura it is, then.

I have not learned how to. The robe I am wearing has been repaired by others, as well as my tunics.
