( a message broadcasts itself to the network: )

hi there
i'm still getting used to how all of this works. i know it's late, but... i figured in unfamiliar surroundings, no matter how long you've been here, there might be a few others finding it a little hard to get some sleep, too.

( a pause that doesn't translate to the network, shuffling a bit where she sits cross-legged atop her bed, taking a moment to cast her gaze out to the glittering cityscape. the room itself feels like another world, recently assigned: EVERLIGHT. 022. )

if that's you and you need an ear, or just don't feel like being alone, i'm happy to talk for awhile. i'd love to hear about your home, or maybe your favorite part of it, no matter how small. favorite late night snacks, what sort of drink you'd order if you could choose from anything, or even make up your own... or not talk!

we can hologram, too. and honestly, my door's always open. i probably won't be turning in for awhile. i still have so many questions about this place, why us... but those can wait for another day.




oh, i've also been thinking about maybe setting up some sort of calisthenics class, maybe on certain days in the morning. i used to run one back home. it was awhile ago, but, if anyone might be interested, i know it at least helps me to have something to keep me moving.

[Metal tends to keep track of the network if only because 1) data gathering is important and 2) he can't really do much else in downtime. A lot of Tifa's post is meaningless to him because he can't kill time eating, drinking, sleeping...he may also have no hobbies.............

She does, however, mention one topic that catches his attention.]

I have cogitated upon the suitability of a candidate's presence here, myself included, yet I have found no correlation. There is a possibility of randomness, yet I consider that theory insufficient as it lacks any basis within acceptable parameters.

Most likely estimate: combat ability.

( there's something about the message that reminds her of chadley, informative and calculating, if not sometimes a little difficult to follow. )

on the first day, i had a conversation with another outsider and we thought the same thing. it doesn't make any sense that they would pull us all here randomly, not if we wouldn't serve any purpose or use against the kaiju.

but... do you think that's all we're here for, really?

Do you believe there is much else that could warrant our presence? LILITH require soldiers. [Is his understanding, at least.] I surmise there was little consideration for another factor, such as personality. We are all too different.

[Metal doesn't know that for sure, but he feels like he doesn't have to. If Sonic is here it all but confirms it to him, considering he sees them like night and day. Nobody who wanted one spectrum of the fast-blue-hedgehog would bring the other purposefully.]
