can't believe the radioactivity didn't get his balls but a t-posing virtual entity did

( Angela was fascinated with the technology and had already realized that the randomization ended up taking her to someone else's "mindscape", and sometimes they still happened to be in them. Post-disaster Australia is something unique to their time, she's quite certain. And while the U.N. had entirely sealed off the country to humanitarian aid and she's never been, she still recognizes it fairly easily.

What she doesn't recognize is the strange t-posing form the AI has taken, still learning and trying to fill in blanks, or the man who is oddly somehow familiar yelling at it. Angela isn't often one for scouring wanted ads, is all. It won't click for her.

She's almost leaping forward as he stumbles on the peg leg with his kick, a surprised little sound slipping from her, and doesn't even begin to form a reply before the AI has indeed learned something in this simulation and lashes out with a return kick square in the rump.

This time she does try to catch him, but she's too late. She'll offer him a hand anyway. )


Oh! Goodness, are you all right? I think they're still tweaking the learning software to flesh out the scenes we see.

( When he does give in and takes her hand, she reaches to cup his elbow and keeps ahold of him long enough to see him steady to his feet and check him over for any injuries, but the virtual world is a bit kinder to them than the real one with headsets off. The chroma, however, still feels quite real. Curious. A trick of the sensors, or perhaps they'd ended up really touching? She'd thought she was sitting down, but that may no longer be the case. )

My, so you are from Australia? That's not an accent I hear often anymore. And these aren't robots; they're simple AI constructs in the virtual reality system, as far as I can tell. We're having our nervous system stimulated in a way that makes them feel real. Same with our senses; that's their selling point.

( It's habit, brushing off her knees even if she hadn't knelt down to the floor, or even that there was a floor, but the smile she offers him is a genuine thing. )

My name is Angela; I'm originally from Switzerland. But no, I've been brought here much as you were, some months ago. I'm a doctor. Have you only just arrived?

"""nice"""???? who told me not to be nice to a dirt goblin??? "nice" has left the premises

( Yeah that's going right over his head, poor dear. Is he from her Australia, or the Australia before it all went down...? It's difficult to say when it'd been before her time and it's a bit of an oddity in the textbooks anymore, but his general aversion to the concept of A.I. probably says enough. )

Well, these are constructs from your mind, as opposed to anything singular with its own personality. Terrorizing it isn't going to end well, you know.

( Bad news for ya mate... Angela never stops being nice. :\ Sorry buddy. But his whirling between her and the AI person is enough to have her breathing out a little laugh, shaking her head. )

Welcome to Prismatica then, in that case. I'm only sorry you were roped right into testing these things out. And you don't need to thank me for a bit of help; it's what I do. And what am I to call you?

( NICE TRY THO. )

[Hanzo watches on from a good distance away. He's never inclined to do much about whatever foolishness the Prismals try to rope the moonblessed into. The majority of the time he stays clear, but the sight before him is like that of a train wreck. How does one look away despite knowing exactly how it might end? Spoiler: Horribly, and with an abundance of glitter, he presumes.

But then the man comes toward him and speaks to him as though it is anyone else's fault that he is a mess. The archer frowns, wanting nothing to do with the whistle or any of the pixies.]


The physical embodiment of a disaster. What are you looking at?

[Why does he smell fire? Hanzo glances around and then stares at the man before him. Ah--yes.] I have seen you before. On a wanted poster.

[Hanzo isn't aware of the extent of their height difference until the man stands up straighter and he nearly has to tip his head back to see his face. If it's a show of intimidation, the archer isn't buying it. Tall or not, the man is two limbs short of being threatening unless he can do damage with that peg leg of his.]

No. You are not wanted here. The poster was at home. On Earth. You had an accomplice and every bounty hunter I knew had eyes on you both. [Hanzo tries to use his hands to describe the physique of Junkrat's partner. Taller. Much taller, and wider as well. His arms do enough justice to get his point across.]

Ah, so it is you. What was it that you stole that made the reward for your arrest so high?

[Somehow Hanzo ends up with a bit of glitter on his shoulder and tries brushing it off immediately.]

he's a stunning specimen, that's for sure

[How did she end up stuck with this guy, again? She doesn't remember, but she's sure it had to have been SOMETHING stupid.
He's been nothing but annoying this entire time, and the only thing keeping her from leaving him behind is the small shred of morals she has left that's telling her he'd die by himself.

She ends up flinching a bit when that compass is shoved her way but ends up snatching it in her jack to take from him, keeping her hands buried in her pockets.
It, uh. It sure is going pretty haywire... even when held away from her traveling companion.
In fact, she's gonna go ahead and stretch her jack out - holding it out one way, lifting it up above them, doing everything she can, but nah. Something's throwing it off something awful.]


Is blowing things up your only solution? I'm pretty sure that'd just get us into an even bigger mess... But, look -
If the compass isn't working, we'll just have to try something else out. [And it is most definitely not working. ... Though she's gonna bring it back and pocket it, just in case.

Give her a second, though, she'll think of something.]


... We could probably use the sun's position and the shadows it's casting to figure out which way is north, right?
It's setting right now, so it should be over in the west.
earrdrums: (🎧▸4)

he's stunning in a "it's amazing he's alive" kind of way

[personal profile] earrdrums 2019-07-21 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure that's total bunk. I mean, moss just needs indirect light, right?
So it could grow on any side of a tree. I think.

[Don't quote her on that, she's no plant expert. She's just maybe kind of smart is all.
But yeah, okay, they know which way is north now! That's better than guessing entirely. She's gonna subtly lift a jack in that direction, keeping it trained north just... in case.

Of course, since he was the one with the compass, it's only fair to ask --]


Which direction is the city or whatever? We really need to get a move on, since the sun is going down.

[Please tell her they weren't just following whichever way the compass was pointing and wandering north in a straight line this entire time.]
earrdrums: (🎧▸2)

he's lucky she's trying to be a good person

[personal profile] earrdrums 2019-07-21 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another flinch with the way he just juts that out at her... but she ends up bringing up her other jack, using it to gently push it back.]

Uh - no, thanks... I had some water back at the river, remember?
Save it for yourself, you'll probably need it.

[She 100% did not, because that's how you get waterborne illnesses and die in the forest, but. Look. She's not severely dehydrated, she can afford to be a little choosy, right?

But since she's got one jack trained north... she's gonna go ahead and souse out which way is southwest, starting to head that way with a wave for him to follow.]


Besides, we can have anything we want once we find a town. I've got some money in my jacket, here; I can probably get us a bite to eat whenever we reach civilization.

[Let's see... does she want to argue semantics, here? "Police officer" feels a bit like small potatoes compared to what she's aiming for, but at the same time...
Nah, not worth it. Not really.]


I mean, not really a police officer, but that's close enough. But don't you think it's better that I'm on edge if I'm supposed to be something like that?
I'm ready for anything at a moment's notice.

[...]

Plus you keep shoving things at me. Anyone's gonna flinch if you just shove things at them without warning, you know.

[Look, she's the anxious sort, you can't just DO that without giving her a heads up --]
