Pretty much anytime before the 16th \o/

(OOC: Pulling Robert out a day early so he can recover a bit more before the Mu plot since this'll throw him for a loop :D; And on Tuesday he will probably be spending quite a bit of time with Don... but everything else is more than fair game! \o/)

[There is something decidedly and markedly unusual in its normalcy in Luceti.

For, you see, Robert is walking around outside looking completely... ordinary. Though externally, he still looks pretty much the same (for now... perhaps he'll decide to wear something new during this event, and it won't take anywhere near as much convincing, either), he seems noticeably more relaxed, he smiles much more easily, his movements are a lot less mechanical, and in general he looks a lot more like the average person.

... But the most interesting thing will be if one decides to talk to him. For, you see, not only is he being actively social - he's actually seeking out other people of his own accord - and friendly instead of his usual professional cold self, but he actually will be able to understand

[semper_cogitans]

I hope it happens soon. It'll be a good thing if everybody can get themselves fixed up!

Is there a reason that there's some difficulty trusting others, for the Ecliptian people? [Trusting others is a good thing!]

[semper_cogitans]

[... You know, that kind of thought is similar to something. Similar maybe to...

...

Nah, Terra's nothing like that, is it? The violence taboo and xenophobic feelings are totally different things.

Robert's just... not going to dwell on this. At all.]

That seems... to be a pretty dangerous way to think.

[And Robert is consciously ignoring how Terran it sounds.]

[semper_cogitans]

Nah, I think that pretty much covers it - unless there's something else you'd want to share? [Really, this strikes Robert as awkward for both of them...]

Though, hey, I could talk about almost anything! I think.

whenever. not picky

[intangible_girl]

[If Robert makes his way to the Battle Dome clinic, he'll find Ingrid sitting on the steps outside, looking puzzled and a little worried.]

Uh... no idea? \o/ ;; *shot*

[semper_cogitans]

[Oh, he will eventually. It is full of friends! Or people who could be friends in short order!

At any rate, he certainly trots up to Ingrid the moment he sees her, with a look of real and genuine concern. She's outside, sitting on the steps and alone. Clearly she needs company.]

What's wrong, Ingrid? Do you need something?

first day i guess

[intangible_girl]

[Her face lights up when she sees Robert, and she tugs on her ponytail as he approaches while her smile turns a little more shy.]

I'm fine, I just can't find McCoy. Which is odd for him. He's usually here.

\o/ Works for me!

[semper_cogitans]

[Those cues? Robert picks them up this time, though he doesn't comment on them yet. Instead, he smiles at her in return.]

Well, I've been going around all day - haven't seen him yet, but I'll let you know if I do. [He gestures easily around.] Or did you feel like accompanying me awhile? I'd always like someone to talk to. [He grins, an expression that should seem entirely out of place to Ingrid.]

[intangible_girl]

[Oh, that smile. That is a nice smile. Ingrid feels her knees go weak. Out of place it may be- but she doesn't care.]

I'd like that as well.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert is aware, for once, that him smiling like that probably has Unintended Implications. Still, though, he likes Ingrid and that smile is entirely warranted.]

Great! I was just heading over to Seventh Heaven - I mean, I could make lunch myself, but it's so much nicer to eat it around other people, and I need to get to know the workers better. [He beams brightly at this idea - so many new friends he could be making!]

[intangible_girl]

[That-

That is-]

Robert, are you feeling alright?

[semper_cogitans]

Oh, me? Perfectly fine! Never felt better, really. [His smile softens, but it's still bright and genuine.] Do I look like I'm sick or something?

[intangible_girl]

[She stares at him, and opens her mouth to tell him she thinks this is the result of an experiment-

And then closes her mouth, smiles, and shakes her head.]

You look fine. Shall we go?

[Whatever this is, she is going to run with it as far as she can. And record data like mad.]
