Upon Vestia: Chapter Twenty-Four

First topic message reminder :

Dawn chuckled and shook her head a little "I don't need a party." She said softly, chuckling.

Skye looked to the door then came over to open it "Mourn? What's up?"

Bess and Tobias looked at each other uncertainly. "We've had a lot of odd jobs, we can learn whatever's needed," Bess said. "Daycare, electrical repairs, secretary work, chauffeuring, interior design..."

"I don't know interior design," Tobias added, "But one of my owners had me assist teachers at her elementary school a few times."

Starr smiled at him again, taking the lift to that floor so they could wander around it and see what there was to see.

"We can definitely clean, we're good at that," Tobias said. "And we can do repairs, well, some repairs. And we can learn to do more." He smiled his fake looking smile. He liked the idea of having a job.

"We don't know how to fix projectors. We could try to learn though," Bess added helpfully.

The floor Vestia had suggested had a wide hallway that went all the way around it, with big windows facing outward. There were also benches spaced along the hall, so sightseers could sit down comfortably if they were humanoid.

The androids were reassured to know that some people here weren't useful by nature, and that that was okay. The fear of being proclaimed unneeded was always strong in an android's heart. "So we'll be able to ask Vestia for jobs, and that's all right?" Tobias asked.

"We haven't met a hologram yet, as far as I know," Bess said. "How does a hologram make drinks?"

Starr walked slowly, looking out over the planet they were on. She had nowhere to be and all the time to get there.

"One eye man? Fox?" Bess said, confused. Mourn's names for people made no sense to her yet. "Yes, we'd like to meet the hologram, I suppose."

Tobias nodded hesitantly.

Starr looked to Armin after a while. "Was there something you wanted to talk about?" She asked softly.

Tobias and Bess followed Mourn. They really had no idea what sort of a hologram they were about to meet, and the brief mentions of One Eye Man and Fox had weirded them out. But for better or worse they were Mourn's androids, and they lived on Vestia. So they should spend time around him and meet his friends.

"Hello, I'm Tobias and this is Bess," Tobias said, watching the hologram. "We're not really guests, we're androids. We work."

"Do you have a name?" Bess asked. This plant guy hologram couldn't just be called Hologram, she assumed.
