001 [Video]

[learninghumanity]

[A young woman with a serious expression on her face appears on the screen. There are two shallow cuts bleeding freely on each of her hands near the knuckles. If the pain is bothering her, her expression doesn't betray her feelings on the matter. If anything, she looks mildly annoyed and confused, as if something isn't working as it should be and she doesn't understand why.]

I require bandages and information. If there are any X-men present, please give me your current location and I will find you.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Thank you in advance for your help.

...That doesn't look too bad, but if you're hurt worse than that, you should go to the hospital... It's in Sigyn district.

[Voice]

[learninghumanity]

It is not too bad, but...

[They should have healed on their own by now. Still, she keeps that to herself. It's better not to talk about it until she knows she's amongst people she can trust.]

...I did not know where I could find bandages on my own, and the cuts will leave a mess.

[Voice]

[takebow]

Right... Well, um, there are some people in Sigyn House with a power to heal. Other than that, I guess you'd just go to a store and get bandages or something?

[Voice]

[learninghumanity]

I do not have any money...but that is good to know.

[Voice]

[takebow]

There's prolly bandages in all the houses somewhere or other... Where are you, do you know?

[Voice]

[learninghumanity]

Hel house.

[Voice]

[takebow]

Well, if already you're there... I hear that place is a little weird, but it's gotta have at least bandages somewhere.

[Voice]

[learninghumanity]

A little weird? How so?

[video]

[ippotsuko]

You can't expect to get bandages from people if you don't tell people where the hell you are.

[video]

[learninghumanity]

...Hel district. I am willing to go to whomever is offering.

[video]

[ippotsuko]

Tch, so you're actually expecting me to do it...what a bother...

I'm nearby, so I guess it won't be too terrible...

[video]

[learninghumanity]

[For a moment, she's confused at the complaining. Then she briefly smiles.]

Thank you. Where are you?

[video]

[ippotsuko]

Same district. You'll probably get lost if you come looking for me, so I'll find you.

[video]

[learninghumanity]

I would be able to find you. I have been trained in tracking and locating.

[video]

[ippotsuko]

Fine, then. Less work for me.

[He gives her directions to his room.]

Hurry up, I don't have all day.

[Action]

[learninghumanity]

[Laura disconnects the feed and is on the move. She prefers action over talk, although she's slowly learning to make conversation.

It's not very long at all before she finds his room and knocks on the door with the side of her hand. She doesn't want to smear blood from her knuckles on there when he is doing something to help.]

[deference]

X-Men?

Voice.

[learninghumanity]

Yes. Are you familiar with them?

[It occurs to her that they might not be using that name here, though.]

There are many members of that team. But if you have met anyone named Logan, Julian Keller, Cessily Kincaid, Sooraya Qadir, Noriko Ashida, Josh Foley, or Santo Vaccaro, that would be a good start.

Voice.

[deference]

I fear not.

I don't recognize any of those names. My apologies.

Voice.

[learninghumanity]

[She contemplates naming others, but she supposes that any of the X-men who were here and wanted anything to do with her would have responded by now.]

I see. Have you been here long?

Voice.

[deference]

No.

I have not been here that long, so you should not give up hope that your friends are here.

Voice.

[learninghumanity]

[That earns Credo a slightly less morose look.]

Perhaps they have not had time to see my broadcast yet.

Voice.

[deference]

Yes, that is most likely what happened.

voice;

[fanboys]

I, uh...don't think there are any of the X-Men here. And if there are, they're definitely keeping a lower profile than usual.

voice;

[learninghumanity]

[That gets her attention. Someone who not only knows who she is referring to, but also knows their general tendencies?]

You know of the X-men?
