locked_down | As we go on, we remember all the times we had together.....

[ It's been a long, long day, but you aren't quite done, Prospects. When the execution is over, the group is ushered to the cafeteria, where there's a reward waiting. There are boxes upon boxes of pizza, in a variety of flavors—if you can think of it, it's probably there. There are even boxes of dessert pizza, and cheesy bread with white and red dipping sauces. There's soda, too, all a twisted prize for a job well done.

As far as you're concerned, you're done here… but the screen in the room that says RESULTS PENDING... That's pretty curious, isn't it? Regardless, Prospects, you've earned this.

Additionally, if someone goes to Mishima's room, there's something to note in Mishima's desk. Perhaps you should bring it to the others' attention.

Just one more thing. The girl with the purple hair... What was her name, again? ]

OOC NOTE: Congratulations on a successful mock round, guys! Just one thing to note: Characters will forget Kaoru Seta gradually. The pace is up to you, but by the time Round One comes along, characters will have forgotten her completely. Have fun, and enjoy your sad pizza party!

[ ... And greeting you all when you come into the cafeteria... is Robocorg. He perks up, tail wagging when he sees them, ears upward and alert.

... But when Vivienne doesn't join the party, his ears and tail droop. ]

WHERE IS MY MISTRESS?

Oh...

[Oh noooooo.]

Hey, buddy. She's... um...

[ wag wag ]

IS SHE CLEANING? SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THAT.

[thanks okay making this even harder cool he loves this]

No. No, she's uh...

She's not coming back.

SHE WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME WITH HER IF SHE HAD TO LEAVE.

No, I mean... She's gone. Like, for real gone.

She died.

SHE CANNOT HAVE DIED.

But she did.

[......]

I'm sorry.

[ he's quiet.... and then he lays down, whining. ]

I DO.... NOT UNDERSTAND.

[ flat is just...going to get on his knees and hug robodog. ]

[ robodog sniffles his hair! ]

I ENJOY HUGS. MY MISTRESS HUGS ME OFTEN.

I'm sorry.

[ he nuzzles the fur, still not letting go. ]

I'll do my best to hug you lots in her stead, okay?

SHE LIKED YOU.

I WILL PROTECT YOU.

[ he finally pulls away, smiling with tears in his eyes. ]

Viv was amazing, you know? She protected all of us. [ he's going to continue petting the doggo ] I'm gonna do my best to protect you, too.

YES.

I COULD NOT... HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER... MOTHER.

[ This is literally the worst. It takes all of Hanamaru's willpower to not tear up right there as she bends down and strokes the top of Robocorg's head. ]

I'm sorry...

[ by now, he knows, and he lets out a quiet whine as he nudges her hand. ]

I HAVE NEVER USED MY SADNESS MODULE BEFORE TODAY.

[ She thought she was done crying but nope. That right there breaks her and instantly, her eyes start to water. ]

Vivienne was a very wonderful person. She tried her best to help us out...

[ After wiping her eyes, she scoots closer to the dog and nestles her face into it's soft fur, wrapping her arms around for a warm embrace. ]

[ he snuffles against her gently, his body strangely warm and soft against her. for a robot, anyway. it's just a measure of how incredible vivienne's talent is-- was. ]

I WISH I COULD HUG YOU. BUT I CANNOT.

[ Everything about the Robocorg is amazing. At first, she didn't know what to expect but it's fur feels so nice and soft. It makes her regret that she didn't take the opportunity to get to know Vivienne. ]

No apologies are needed. Being able to hug you is good enough for me, zura. [ It makes her feel warm, which helps a lot with her overwhelmed emotions. ] Vivienne did such a good job raising you.

Hey, buddy.

[he loves dogs. even robodogs.]

This was a downer day.

YES... IT IS THE FIRST DAY I HAVE HAD TO ACCESS MY SADNESS MODULE.

I... DO NOT LIKE IT.

[he pets... the doggo.]

Me neither. Today suuuuuuucks.

But now we can tell each other that. No guessing just in whines.

[ he leans his head on jake's leg. ]

YES. I AM CAPABLE OF ADVANCED SPEECH, AFTER ALL.

You can speak, and I'll whine, how about that?
