[Video] Of Pranks, Requests, & Finishing What One Started

[strangerfromthedesert]

[You may have seen a certain Reploid looking around the city in the daytime lately, particularly near or in the public Aquila Library in the Aquarius Ward. His face looks somewhat annoyed on the feed that he has to ask the Hinoto-Ri network about this, but... sometimes before one can help with a request, one must first ask for help themselves. His voice, for those that have encountered him before, oddly possesses less of a monotone edge than before, despite his current demeanor.]

Does anyone have books on robots? I asked the library here, but all their books on the subject were out. The clerk at the front desk thought they had something though...

[It probably has nothing to do with the fairies overhearing him asking for them at the counter, nor the sections of anything pertaining to machines (and industrialism by extension) suddenly entirely empty of their shelves. Probably.]

[Private Voice Transmission to Neige]

We need to talk, soon.

[The tone is much the same as was carried out in his public video, but is notably serious and curt, more like his usual self.]

Um... I have some books here. You can borrow them if you want.

[There isn't an audible response, only two blinks of very slightly squinted eyes and the slight tilt of his head in puzzled recognition mixing in with his previous, now-diluted annoyance.]

...Y-yes?

... Nothing.

[The prolonged word is accompanied by a small shift of his eyes, but lasts for only an instant before the focus returns.]

Where can I pick them up?

We do. I'm free for the rest of the day, so just tell me when and where and I'll be there.
