Closed to Yin and Lauri-Ell

[moonlitrequiem]

Who; Yin & Lauri-Ell
What; A dinner to celebrate their friendship
Where; Vague
When; Sometime October
Warnings; N/A


As they had agreed to a celebratory dinner, Yin didn't just show up to wait for Lauri-Ell outside of the apartment complex, she even wore a fancier dress than usual. She wasn't sure what else to do, never having done this before. Her team was pretty low-key on everything. No celebration dinners, no, "Hey good job out there!" Just quiet knowledge they all got to live another day.

Lauri-Ell was introducing Yin to wonderful experiences, and Yin couldn't even smile for her friend.

As she stands there, waiting for Lauri-Ell, her lips quiver and the muscles aside her mouth attempt to move, but nothing happens. She'll be there waiting. When Lauri-Ell shows, she might even notice the light movements.

Comments

"I suppose one can. Perhaps I should consider it. It can be lonely at times. But the hours I work may mean I am not suitable to care for a pet."

Surely they would like company rather than being left in an apartment all day.

[moonlitrequiem]

"I should find work," Yin surmises. It would mean she might not have time for a pet, but maybe that would help with the reason she wants one - for a Doll, she feels kind of lonely, subdued as the emotion is. If she's working, maybe she won't feel that.

[kree_soldieress]

Ah yes, work. That can be something very important.

"What skills do you have which you believe may be useful in a workplace?"

This was something Lauri-Ell had to learn. She hadn't wanted to be a warrior, so she had tried to find a way to make her skill with her arms more useful.

[moonlitrequiem]

"I do not possess many skills." Beyond spying. "I have experience selling items." And even that was a cover job for her team, and not a real job.

Yin might also need to do some of that learning.

sorry mistook the thread

[kree_soldieress]

That is something to consider. Lauri-Ell thinks about it, stroking her chin.

"Are you, by any chance, familiar with weapons?"

you're all good!

[moonlitrequiem]

"No. Contractors deal with weapons. Dolls do not," Yin admits.

[kree_soldieress]

"Is that because you were told you may not, or because you do not wish to?"

Because those are different and important things.

[moonlitrequiem]

"Because I am programmed not to," Yin answers, slightly confused.

"They are not something I wish to use, either." Which might be more along the lines of what Lauri-Ell intended with her question. She is suited best for intel and recon, not so much battle, as far as her personality goes.

[kree_soldieress]

That is quite fair. Lauri was specifically programmed to be a combat person, so she supposes she understands being programmed not to do a thing.

"We can be more than that which we were created for I think."

[moonlitrequiem]

Yin's eyes widen to that, Lauri-Ell's words, yet again, resonating within her.

She can be more than Doll. Be more than a spy.

"I can be more."

[kree_soldieress]

Yes. Yes she very much can. Lauri-Ell smiles.

"You can. You will be. You will be whatever you wish, and that is okay and good. If you want help, I am always here."

[moonlitrequiem]

"Whatever I wish," Yin repeats, as though those words sound so foreign and unreal to her.

"I...." She knows something she does want.

"Is there a piano in this place?"

[kree_soldieress]

A piano? Lauri-Ell really has to think about it.

"I fear I do not know what that is."

[moonlitrequiem]

"It is a black item with white keys that plays music," Yin explains, not sure how else to really detail a piano.

[kree_soldieress]

"I do not know that I have seen one. I am not as familiar with music as others are. Or the things that go with it. Like dancing."

She'd been learning those things, but it's slower than other things.

Also wrap for new things?

[moonlitrequiem]

"I will keep asking," Yin assures Lauri-Ell. Eventually she will either find one, or find someone who has seen one.

agreed!

[kree_soldieress]

That is good to hear. If she keeps asking she will surely find her answer.

"If there is ever any way I can help, please let me know."

Meanwhile the carriage finally came to a stop. Lauri-Ell got out first and extended a hand to Yin.

"Allow me to help you down. Then we will pet the chocobo for a minute or two and head in to eat."

wrap, ftb good dinner

[moonlitrequiem]

Yin nods her head, to all of it.

She takes Lauri-Ell's hand to get down, and maybe she can't smile, but she is pleased to pet the chocobo. It was a wonderful night, and not one Yin will forget.
