Characters: Gal and Suruga
Date: early afternoon.
Summary: a trip to robotville and a chance encounter
Warnings: nothing yet, will update if needed


The robot dog, now christened "Martha", has decided to tag along, and Gal doesn't see any reason to object. This place is her home, after all. She stands in the Viridian Pavilion, looking down at the descending stairs for a moment. She's only been down to the strange underground city once before, and managed to get lost that time. This time, she's prepared with a bag slung over her shoulder, containing lunch, note-taking materials, and a few odds and ends that might come in handy. Her sword is in its customary place at her hip.

A trip outside had led her down one trail to another, and soon enough, Suruga found her in her own little expedition. She probably should've headed back to her home at that point, but she kept finding herself exploring "just a little bit more." The environment she was seeing now was pretty different than that of The Gardens, and not only that... But there was someone else, and close by.

Could they have been exploring as well?

"Ah, Gal-san. What a surprise. I certainly wasn't expecting to see you here!"

augh rl ate me. sorry for the delay!

Gal turns, blinking, recognizing the other young woman after a moment.

"Ah--Suruga, right? Well, I haven't gotten out much until now." She lifts a hand to scratch the back of her head a bit awkwardly. Considering their last meeting was when she was a lot smaller...

"It's good to see you, though. I wanted to thank you for looking after me."

"You're welcome. I wasn't about to abandon a child in need, especially one that looked as cute as you. It makes sense, for you to have been cute at such a young age." A brief laugh as Suruga not only noticed the bag over Gal's shoulder, but the sword as well.

"Could it be that you're headed somewhere?" With that sort of gear, it seemed like it was going to be a lengthy trip.

[hopelessdreamer]

She raises her eyebrows, but doesn't pursue the "cute" comment.

"Well--yeah. You've got me." She laughs. "There's a city down there, if you'd believe it." She gestures to the center of the Pavilion, where the first part of a flight of stairs can be seen, descending out of sight. "You know those fonbots--ah, mechanical creatures you see here and there? Like this girl."

She pats Martha on the head, and the automation lets out a metallic bark.

"I think that's where they come from. There are tons of them down there."

Suruga's eyes go to the small mechanical creature mentioned by Gal, before taking notice of the stairs. A city? It did sound unbelievable, but considering where she'd come to live... "Could it be that you're looking to find a second one for yourself?"

She turned to look back at Gal. "Or is there another reason you're making this trip?"

[hopelessdreamer]

"A second--ah, not exactly, and I wouldn't say I own her, anyway. She's got a mind of her own, she just seems to like me after I fixed her up. There was a bad storm here a while back, and she got all rusty and scratched."

She shifts the strap of her bag into a more comfortable position on her shoulder.

"I wanted to explore a little more. It's a pretty big place, you never know what you could find there. Plus, if you bring them things, the fonbots will give you stuff in return. They liked the gald I had on me from home."

sorry for the late tag

What wasn't there to like? Gal was pretty good-looking after all, not to mention kind if she was willing to fix up the little robot in the first place.

An excellent combination of traits!

"Eh, is that so. When you say it like that, I suppose there's only one thing I can do, then." A brief pause, just to add to the suspense and drama, as Suruga so often enjoyed doing. "It's simple, I should join you! If the city is as big as you say, the two of us would able to cover more ground."

[hopelessdreamer]

She raised her eyebrows a bit, waiting for Suruga to finish. The girl is a little odd, but no odder than her old travelling companions, so it doesn't bother her.

"Sure, if you don't mind. You'd just got to be careful yo don't get lost...the cats won't really go down there."

[doihavepanties.livejournal.com]

"You won't have to worry about me. I may look young, but I can be pretty resourceful when I have to be!" That... probably wouldn't make Gal feel any better, but it would have to do, as Suruga walked closer to her. "Let's go! No need to keep them waiting down there."
