[Hey Hana remember how you said you wanted to see a cat?

Well here, there is a 5-month-old kitten running around in circles on the floor, chasing her tail. Tuuri is just sitting in one ot the desk chairs and watching her play too.]

[selfdestructs]

[ oh! help!! a baby!!!

the moment dva walks into the dorm room she gasps. ]

This must be the kitten from your drawing!! She's soooo cute, omg.

[ she just stops and sits on the floor, holding a hand out. ] Hello cutie~

[polyglotti]

[A person!!! Kitty will let out a little "mya" as she goes over to play with this new person. She definitely has kitten energy, she's already batting at Hana's fingers.]

Yes, this is Kitty. Hopefully you don't mind if she stays here with us? She's used to the outdoors, so she's pretty self-sufficient.

[selfdestructs]

I don't mind at all. She's perfect.

[ dva will gladly play with her! baby... ]

You're going to make Hell a better place, aren't you~

[ her voice changes in pitch when she talks to kitty. ]

[polyglotti]

She makes everywhere a better place.

[It's okay Tuuri totally does the high-pitched voice for Kitty too.]

I was thinking, I should ask everyone what 'Kitty' means in their own languages, since the group I was with always just called her 'kitty' in their own languages. Kisu, Kisa, Missekat, and so on.

[selfdestructs]

Oooh that could be fun and interesting!

[ pets for the baby!! ]

There's not an exact way to say it in Korean, so I think 'Kitty' will work just fine for me.



[ crying in google ]

[polyglotti]

[Google plz]

Kitty works! We just couldn't agree on a name for her when we found her, so we decided to call her that.

[selfdestructs]

It suits her perfectly.

[ having the time of her life playing with kitty. ]

Having her here makes we wish we were able to have pets at the base, human company is fine, but they're not nearly as soft and cute.

[polyglotti]

At the base? Oh, are you in the military?

[selfdestructs]

I am, yeah. I work for MEKA, which is a part of the Korean military. I’m a mech pilot.

[polyglotti]

[The fuck is a mech]

I see...is that anything like a tank?

[selfdestructs]

[ help ]

A little bit, yeah! It's a big robot that you get to pilot, a lot nicer than an old tank. Much faster too.

[polyglotti]

Faster sounds nice, the tank we traveled in is slow and clunky.

[A pause, and then:]

I drive it though! And I'm responsible for repairs.

[selfdestructs]

A mechanic!? That's so awesome!!

[ very exciting! ]

Working on those old things must take a lot, I am very impressed.

[polyglotti]

[Heeee, she feels happy to be praised.]

It's a never-ending job, but someone has to do it. It's so finicky too, the solar panels always give us trouble. Sometimes we have to sit for hours waiting for the batteries to charge.

week 0, saturday

[selfdestructs]

[ if tuuri is in their room, she's just going to see dva walk in, close the door and then flop onto the floor. ]

I reaaaally hope we don't have to do that again.

[polyglotti]

[With Dva on the floor like that, Kitty will come right over and walk in circles on her back before settling down there. Her bed now.

Tuuri watches all of this, and she tries not to giggle.]

Hopefully not. We'll need a conversation with everyone to tell them not to kill anyone though.

[selfdestructs]

[ this is so healing. thank you kitty, dva instantly feels better. ]

We can only hope that conversation will go well and people will actually listen.

[ chinhands ]

How are you holding up, Tuuri?

[polyglotti]

[The healing purrs do work.]

As well as can be expected. I'd never seen anything like this before. You?

[selfdestructs]

[ sighs ]

I'm also doing my best. I think I'm finally coming down from the anger I felt at the end there.

[ folds her hands and rests her head on them. ]

Today was exhausting, that's for sure...

[polyglotti]

Accusing someone of committing a crime isn't easy. Especially when it's someone we all know.

[And they don't even know about executions yet haaaaa]

But hopefully it doesn't happen again.

[selfdestructs]

Solar panels are a great idea, until you're stuck with overcast weather for days on end. I could never have the patience for them. You get extra points for that!

[selfdestructs]

[ smash cut to all of them absolutely hating execution... ]

I certainly hope so, because like you said, it's not easy. Which I'm sure is the whole point of this eternal suffering bit.

[ frowns so much! ]

[polyglotti]

It works for what we had to do. I've heard of coal and gas-powered vehicles, but they're not practical when you're going to be outside of the safe zones for months on end.

[selfdestructs]

You are very right about that. [ nodnod! ] The mechs we operate use an energy reactor, which lets us go for longer periods of time, though we do have to be mindful of them overloading.

[ she waves her hand, dismissive. ] But that almost never happens, so it's fine.
