( well, we are sure off to a rowdy good time.

kara, meanwhile, is just trying to keep it simple by making this note to the network. )

Hello, my name is Kara.

As the selection of clothing offered can be found wanting for some, I have taken to mending and adjusting some of the clothes that I've found for myself. I thought I might offer this to anyone that might need assistance given the limited selection in some sizes and for some heights.

Since I do not sleep, I have a lot of free time so you are free to message me whenever you might need to make a request.

( because sometimes a girl just needs to sit, stew and rip clothes apart. it's therapeutic. )

I'm sorry too. I know you're just being nice but it's kindness better spent on better people. That's not me.

( not anymore. once upon a time, maybe but that feels like a lifetime ago now. all she's managed to bring about the deaths of those she loved and that sort of person isn't deserving of the sort of kindness he's offering. )

Alice is... she's my daughter. She died shortly before I did.

that's not true
it's not my place to say anything but um
i used to think that a lot about myself
never wanted people to know it but it's kinda hard to ignore

[ especially when you're alone all the time. but kara isn't alone. ]

so you think she might be here?

[chores]

Because of what you told me before? How you're not exactly human? It's hard though to change when you're so used to one way of thinking. I haven't really been able to think any other way. Everything since my reset has been...

It hasn't been good. All the good I know is Alice.

I don't know but, if she is, I want to find her. I can't let her be alone in a place like this.

[burstmodes]

well i am
human i mean
but it's more complicated than that
i guess i almost wasn't?
i just never wanted to accept any of those things and couldn't get past it
it took a long time

[ but even now, he still struggles with it. identity is such a strange thing to understand. ]

anyway how about i help you look for her
we can't do it all the time since we don't know a lot about this place
but whenever you want i'll go out with you and we'll search
we'll find your good kara
we'll find alice

I guess it's not something I can understand but I get what you're saying. Your identity is precious but also fragile, it's even harder when you don't understand yourself all that well.

( and there is a long pause, one that she spends staring at the screen and weakly rubbing at her face. she promised herself she wouldn't cry anymore. )

You don't have to do this, you know. You don't even know me.

[burstmodes]

yeah something like that

[ it had been a difficult thing to admit once, and it might be again, especially since his friends don't know those truths. they hadn't lived them before they'd died. at least, that's how he feels; otherwise, he's just crazy. ]

maybe not
but i wanna know you
and besides i don't really mind

[chores]

( again, there is silence as she stares at the screen and considers the words displayed there. all she can see is someone else getting hurt because of her once again and it... it scares her. it scares her to her core and, in truth, it was at the core of all her worries. she was afraid and she didn't know how to handle it. )

Thank you, Prompto. I'm not that interesting but I want to know you too. I don't really know many humans.
