[She sticks around for a little while to make sure he isn't about to be eaten by the rats in his sleep for bleeding or whatever -- for all she knows, these rats are like sharks, who even knows anymore??
At length, though, she's not all that interested in watching somebody sleep -- so Blue Angel heads out for a little while only to check in again later. She's carrying what are probably some rice balls or whatever, because today has been A Day and she was hungry. And remembered that this guy existed.
Yes, it's me. I found some rice balls in the kitchen and was just passing by, but...
[She's popped her head in the door to say this, since she really was just checking in. For real. She does hold up the food, though -- it's still fresh enough to be steaming. The kitchen is a very accommodating place. There's a faint scent of chicken, too.]
Since you're awake... If you're hungry, they gave me extra.
It's your own fault. And I'm not from that kind of virtual reality.
[God. Leave her and her idol route alone!! There are no flags here.
Anyway, she's looking around at the place, and, well, it matches its owner pretty well in terms of aesthetic. It makes her think back to her profile and to whether or not her room will become more and more hers over time. She doesn't like to think about time right now, though, so she's going to focus on the food and company.]
With your luck, they'll put something weird in your food this time.
[Instead of your brainmeats, that is.
She definitely did her best to watch over the kitchen to make sure no people-or-people-adjacent parts went into the food. Let's hope that was successful, because these are some damn good riceballs. She shoots a look at him for that question.]
If we were back home, I'd make you duel for your food. Since we're stuck here and you're an invalid, though, just try asking nicely before it gets cold.
[He never looks exactly unhappy, but now it's a satisfied sort of happy, or something? She has no idea, she met him two days ago. All the same, it makes her feel pretty satisfied too.
So I guess they just chow their way through the rest of the riceballs companionably because she's too well-mannered to talk with her mouth full. Anywho.]
Yeah, I didn't really feel like going out again today...
[There's a small sigh about it. It really hasn't been a great couple of days for the outdoors. But it's warm in the resort, at least, if nothing else, and it's cozy in here. She's starting to feel a companionship with the stuffed animals.]
You said nothing like this has happened before, huh? If what happened to you is something the staff can just do... that's crazy.
[Haha. Ha. There's some doubt in her voice, but that's just part of her general dubiousness about his choices in life.]
Just be careful when you're reading, all right? There are a lot of abnormalities about everyone and everywhere here. I think we'll need your eyes, so don't screw them up. [a moment of thought] So what you said is, you can see... things as numbers? Like seeing data?
Yeah, I've been able to see the world as numbers since I was born. It tells me pretty much anything there is to know. Physical aspects and ratios, even thoughts and feelings. For example...
Thoughts and feelings? That's almost like you're--
[An AI, she kind of wants to say, but even their AIs aren't quite that advanced. Also it's a good thing she cut herself off, because that would have been rude and all. You don't just call somebody a robot, even if they're an unqualified disaster person. Anyway.]
--Did you just...?
[He totally did?? Now that he's only half an invalid he definitely gets a cuff on the head for it.]
If you look again, you're going to need another nap. You don't just look at an idol's numbers!
Uh-huh! That area where we started? I noticed the numbers kept repeating themselves. Kind of makes me wonder if the area would have repeated too, if we went the wrong way.
