She goes into sleep mode sometimes. And yeah-- she was in sleep mode from after the boat building until Thursday morning. On paper it's battery saving, but also I think she just gets tired of me.
[ he knows she just gets tired of him.
and then he just makes a slightly tired sweep of his hands. there you go. ]
It's been five years, I do know how to have some privacy from her.
Something something, in every relationship respect of personal space is important. [ he does look a little bit amused though. ] Normally she has a bit more freedom than she does here though.
[ ... ]
I kinda get it, about not being able to do everything you're used to while you're here. I can't exactly shape shift or "control time and space", but it's been annoying adjusting to what I suddenly can't do. Especially as it'd be really damn helpful here at the weekend if I could.
Less me, more my support. She's a comms device, and, yeah. She can do a lot of investigation support. X-rays, temperature scans, recording and filing information for later use.
[ who even has that now, he never got around to borrowing it... ]
But you're right, that does all sound like it would be useful.
[ which is why they can't have it, presumably! though it seems a little ridiculous to him to nerf a piece of technology just as if it were an innate power. ]
Are there any special features that do still work, or is she down to just vision and advising?
She did. [ he grins ] Did you miss the chance to look at it? It was a bit more coy than in your face, but that’s probably more her taste. And— who knows, I didn’t have anything to dodge to test out the reflexes.
[ another tragedy… when will he get to see the tiddy mag ]
She’s down to advising and telling me when I’m being stupid. So… business as usual, but services reduced. [ …. ] It’s not been too bad.
[ he has his phone full of questionably obtained shura pics now, so it doesn't really matter, but it would still be tragic if something happened to it. ]
[ ok more than half of these he just downloaded off 2ch where everyone was discussing the boobalicious exorcist and sharing their photos so those were free game
the drunk christmas party one might be a problem
he sighs. ]
Those nagging little reminders that this is supposed to be hell.

Well! I can come back and finish the movie another time, so don't let me get in the way of your private advising session.

… Nah, I think I’m done. You watch your movie.

I’m gonna go drink myself into higher level of tolerance or something.

Gimme five minutes. I'm not doing this without alcohol.
[ let him get a drink and then Forget about everything that happened this weekend holy crap. ]
