Who: Dr. Fitz and Monika
Where: Fifth floor, Room 2
When: July 15th
Rating: PG13
Summary: Monika's "body" went discarded a few months ago, and it's about time someone reached out to recover it.
The Story:

[These last few weeks, the doctor has been wondering if it would be possible to get a moment to himself. It seemed like every time he tried to go somewhere or do something, some stranger would pop out claiming to be a friend or acquaintance. They all seemed determined to talk with him about or over food, though, which gives him the excuse he's chosen for today. Apparently, if he claims that he's going in search for snacks, he's given free access to leave his caretakers behind. It's just what he needs to get preparations started. Though he's been shackled to a desk for weeks, he's had the opportunity to plan his moves carefully.

Monika is the quickest way to get what he wants. She's self-aware enough to use her access and breach normal protocols, but has the maturity level of a child. A simple action will pay off exponentially. It's this he's hoping for as he enters an abandoned living space and plucks a discarded device from an empty mattress. He sends a video to Monika as proof of concept, holding her hard drive up between two fingers.]


I believe this is yours?

I--I don't know, honestly. No one's ever shut it off.

[ Indeed, she is very clearly afraid. If her vision wasn't so clouded with the haze of love, she'd probably be trying to conceal it better. People seeing her weak isn't something she likes, no matter who it is.

Monika's silent for a while before she speaks again. ]


I'm imagining it'd be how it was when I was back home. When my, um...program was closed. [ He'd probably think less of her if she'd said "game," so she decided to go with that. Much more vague. ] It's terrible. I don't really like to think about it.

[ The effect of his tapping is instantaneous, to the point the vase she'd placed his rose in falls to the floor with an apparent shattering of glass, along with half the items on her table. Her head jerks around frantically as each vibration hits her from every direction. Why would he do this?! She needs to reason things out. There had to be a reason for it!

See, it was just an unconscious action. Or he was just trying to comfort her directly, since that was kind of like her physical body! Yeah! He didn't give her a promise not to hurt her, but why would he? Hahaha, she's just being crazy! And maybe, just maybe, this wouldn't have happened if she'd just done what he'd wanted. Shame on her for upsetting him!

Monika takes a few breaths and uncovers her head, something she didn't even realize she'd done. It's like it never happened, though. With a soft crackle of static and shower of pixels, the fallen items are back in place, just as they were. She's smiling sweetly as she carefully presses down any errant strands of hair and then lightly smooths her shirt.

Everything's just fine. ]


Ahaha, sorry you had to see that~ If you give me about five minutes, I could have a scan of all the past network stuff ready for you. Then we could go over everything together!

[ Everything was just. Fine. ]

[ Her happy exterior cracks the tiniest bit. She can sense he's probably trying to stop talking to her and it's making panic edge back in. Even if she's close to his heart, she doesn't want him to leave her alone!

With a few small giggles to cover up her fear, she glances away from him for a moment to get the search started immediately so it can run in the background. That'll give her time to stall him. ]


Should I add in some more search criteria? Are there any other related terms you think might help? That way we don't have to keep doing superfluous searches!
