[Those who wish to meet with the Junior Administrator-- well she's always on call.

Getting her off her phone on the other hand... is a bit more difficult.]

[newhire]

[She nods.]

...of course you can.

[ososoi]

[ He lowers his hand and takes a deep breath. ]

...Do ya think you can build me a replacement eye?

I mean... it doesn't have to be super awesome or anything! Just something that can make for a good eye! I mean, it doesn't have to be the best...!

[newhire]

[Vivienne blinks. And then it sinks in.]

You... want... me to build something that will help you see again?

[She's giving it some serious thought already.]

[ososoi]

Well, yeah! Yer good at robotics stuff, so...

[ It won't cure his trauma or scars, but hey, at least he'll be able to see on his left again. ]

[newhire]

...I've never done anything like that before, so it'll take some time, but-- I'll do it.

[ososoi]

[ The widest grins he's had for weeks grows on his face. ]

So you'll do it?? Fuck yeah!

[ Wait hang on gotta be less crass here ]

I-I mean that's great! Thank you so much, Vivi-chan!

...Sorry to ask, but when do ya think it'll be ready?

[newhire]

...give me until Wednesday. I'm going to need the doctor's assistance.

[ososoi]

Yeeees~!!

Thanks so much! I don't even know how to repay you!

[newhire]

...try not to get yourself hurt any more. I'm happy to help-- but I'm happier when you're all safe and uninjured.

Uh--

[ well, there goes his smile. ]

...

[ososoi]

[ He smiles again, but it's a bit of a tired smile. But it's a smile regardless. ]

D-Don't worry. I'll... I'll try not to fuck up like that again.

[newhire]

[She puts a hand on her head.]

...I know. I... can relate.

I got myself killed, I just-- don't want anyone else to make the same mistakes I did. I had to learn it too... you... there are a lot of people who would be upset. Myself included.

[ososoi]

...Hm.

[ He tilts his head a little, looking pensive. ]

...Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

...I'm sorry I had to be a total dumbass and nearly die for it.
