Basically anytime... I'll try to make it work somehow :|a;

[semper_cogitans]

[If it wasn't in the midst of hell, it would be paradise

[semper_cogitans]

[Everything bears those - unfortunately. Utopias aren't possible. Though Terra likes to pretend it is one.]

Well, I have seen winged r-reptilians called "dragons", and dimunitive horned equines called "unicorns", to name a few. [The fact that Robert doesn't immediately realize these animals are considered mythological says something about his disconnect from history.

He almost wants to mention Don here, but doesn't - more because of what nearly happened with the Shredder than with anything, though.]

There is... a large amount of non-human hominid sapients, though...

[shadedsunlight]

[Dragons and unicorns, Ginia gives a small smile at that, remembering having be told by Giles about his own experience as a dragon.]

/That sounds amazing. I suppose what is only myth in one world is reality in another. Though there is always some truth in legends and lore./

[The mention of non-human sapiens brings a curious expression to her face. She remembers being told about vampires and there was her conversation with Hellboy, but perhaps there are others?]

/Like vampires and the like? And while things seem safe enough, perhaps we should find somewhere more secluded to talk./

[semper_cogitans]

... Myth? [Yes, this is the first time Robert has heard of dragons as being mythological.] They are... cryptids, then? I am... n-not certain if that is true for Terra, though I had never... h-heard of them existing...

And yes, I have heard of... v-vampires, at least in terms of being non-human sapients in other worlds here.

... Where would you suggest, for the latter? Places here t-tend to change, er, quite rapidly...

[His own apartment has had monsters spawn a few times. Not pleasant.]

[shadedsunlight]

/In my world at least. I've heard they do exist in other worlds./ [That's right, not everything is based off her own world view. Derp.

Ginia has no place in mind and there's no telling what might change, but moving is better than staying out in the open. She looks at the buildings before waving her hand at one of the larger ones to the side.]

/Think we can get into that one?/

[semper_cogitans]

[The building Ginia's looking at happens to be a commercial one, the equivalent of an office building. It has a security console keypad on the outside of it, one that Robert realizes he's going to have to be forced to disable again - like every other one so far.]

... This is one of those m-moments where I wish keycards would generate in th-these simulations...

[... And he doesn't know the key code associated with overriding the security of this building, either. Wonderful.]

I suspect this m-might be tedious, unless the console can be... o-overridden manually...

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia studies the keypad, not even knowing where to begin with cracking through it. Those are the sorts of things she leaves to experts, though she's picked up a few tricks here and there. Still, this is the technology of the distant future and there's no telling what security systems might have in place.

But if not through the front door, then one must find another way in. She looks over the building, noting the windows, general layout and architecture, and what little she can see of the interior.]

/Maybe there's another entrance? Back door, service entrances? Or alternatively, what are the windows made out of and how structurally sound are they?/

[semper_cogitans]

[The building is pretty robust overall. Terran buildings, while not impermeable fortresses by any means, are designed to take quite a bit of potential shock or damage without doing more than bending. Being made of flexible components means that much of the surface will bounce back rather than break outright.]

Most of the windows would be made of flexible polymers, s-similar to the ones in my glasses' lenses... In o-other words, they would be difficult to sh-shatter outright.

[Burning a hole in them might work... but Robert doesn't have that kind of material on hand.

He turns his attention back to the console.]

... Perhaps there is some way to... b-brute force the console...? [As much as Robert hates the idea of damaging Terran technology, even simulated.]

[shadedsunlight]

/Darn./ [Because that would have been the easiest option. Her attention turns back to the console, tapping it loudly but not actually pressing anything.]

/What am I looking at? Keycard? Randomly generated keypad? Fingerprint scanner?/

[semper_cogitans]

These s-security consoles tend to use nanochip-embedded security k-keycards, issued to Terran citizens... if I h-happened to have mine, it is likely I could use it to enter almost a-all of these buildings, but...

[His mind flickers through possibilities for codes, but it's difficult to consider when the situation's somewhat tense. At least there isn't a time limit.]

... Destroying the console might... worsen the situation... but, I am not certain...

[shadedsunlight]

[With new information, Ginia considers the possibilities. Under normal circumstances, besides using Robert's keycard, lifting one off someone would be the next easiest way. But here and now, the options involve finding someone who may have such a keycard - unlikely - or brute forcing their way in.]

/What sort of security measures kick in if an alarm is tripped? Or if a control pad was damaged?/

[semper_cogitans]

[... He actually isn't sure.]

I regret to s-say I have... never seen the security systems of a commercial building at w-work.

... I suppose we could attempt it anyway. [The worst that can happen is that the simulation will end...]

[Japan is out in the village, dressed not in his usual somewhat homey kimono, but in his uniform of the Imperial Empire, pure white though. He isn't so far gone to be dressed in black. He has two katanas at his side and he's set to protect those he knows.

One of which would be Robert.

He sees some unknown beast (from some world or another in a video game, he's sure of it) running toward him from behind and steps in, using one sword to cut it clean through. The beast drops dead and Japan watches as a little sign pops up over announcing: +40XP. He pauses, watching it evaporate into thin air.]

Ah...not as much as I thought.

\o/

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert flinches at the sickening noise of sword cleaving through tissue - even simulated tissue. The creature dead behind him disappears at his feet almost before he can register who caused it to happen.

... He would've been attacked if it wasn't for his unexpected saviour.]

... Mr. Japan...?

[This is the first time he's seen Japan in this uniform. Like Ami's Sailor Mercury uniform, it has an entirely different air associated with it. An almost regal, but dangerous, air.]

... Th-thank you.

I need to... p-pay more attention to this place. Things appear quite out of n-nowhere, at the moment...

[4000excuses]

Hello, Hastings-sensei.

[He slides the sword back into its sheath and bows.]

They do. Please be careful out here.

[Which is to say.]

...Just what are you doing out here, if I may ask?

[semper_cogitans]

[Japan is one of the people that makes Robert feel a little... immature, sometimes. This is one of those times.]

Ah - I was, er, taking... readings. And... and h-holophotographs.

[He rubs the back of his head sheepishly.] The scenery here is, while simulated, quite... b-beautiful. Albeit chaotic...
