[Connor isn't sure what he's seeing, really. Only that someone is crying, claiming they aren't even human. Some kind of android? He watches, silently, as Yosuke holds a hand out to her. And it makes him smile too, seeing that kindness.

He never had anyone reach out to him quite that way, himself. But Hank did in his own way, in the end. Perhaps when he most needed him, even. Maybe you'll be the ones to make the world a better place.

Connor looks for the dream's owner, curious to meet him. Maybe he can ask what is happening here.]

Hee!

[dj_jiraiya]

[ ooc: probably should have included a picture haha, this is what Labrys looks like. Her android status isn’t well hidden. :3 ]

[ Yosuke was standing off to the side. He wasn’t wearing his Yasogami High Uniform and his hair was a touch shorter, he also lacked the headphones around his neck. He was leaning against a console in the PA room, arms crossed as he watched with a small smile on his face. Labrys was a great girl and friend. It didn’t matter to him that she was an android. He could probably admit, to himself, that he had a little crush on her. But her friendship was most important to him, second really only to Yu’s.

He realized that he wasn’t quite alone in watching. He wasn’t even sure why this was happening, walking into a mirror in a dream and watching a rather nice memory from only a few months ago. But what he didn’t realize was that others could see it, like this guy here. His cheeks turned a little pink and he lifted a hand to rub the back of his head. ]

Aw, jeez... you saw that? Super sappy, right?

[ He laughed in embarrassment. The moment had been right for the time but as an outsider looking in, it probably looked super sappy and embarrassing. He was never used to showing his emotions like that, let alone anyone watching. ]

[Connor shakes his head, glancing off to the scene again.]

A little, but... it was nice. Who is she?

[He approaches Yosuke, who may notice the blue LED on his temple now that he's closer.]

[dj_jiraiya]

Ah... her name is Labrys. She’s an android like Aigis, uh the blonde one. It’s kinda complicated but she was... trying to come to terms with what she was after spending most of her life being made to kill her friends, other androids.

[ She and Aigis were more than androids, they were Anti-Shadow weapons, right? But there was just a lot about that he didn’t know. So he didn’t elaborate. He pointed to the double of her that was laying on the ground, silent and with eyes closed. ]

That’s her Shadow. Something we all have, emotions we try to suppress and don’t want to accept. That’s why she was having trouble accepting what she was, this place isn’t real. It was made to look like my school and she tried to act like a student in it. But it was just something she made up to cope when she was thrown into the TV.

[ He paused and grimaced. ]

That’s kind of a whole other story. But yeah, that’s kind of the gist of what’s going on here. Labrys is doing much better now, I guess I must have been missing her to have a dream about how we met, huh?

[ That’s when he noticed the LED light on his temple. He tilted his head. ]

What’s that?

[plasticasshole]

[The LED goes yellow as he tries to process the information. He feels sorry for her. He knows what it's like to be created to hunt your own kind.]

I'm glad she's doing better.

[He means it, genuinely.]

This is my LED. Back home, androids have these in order to tell us apart from humans.

[Easily removed, but Connor hasn't bothered.]

It's kind of funny that I'd see this memory of yours, considering.

[dj_jiraiya]

O-Oh! You're... oh, I guess that... makes sense.

[ Not really, they brought androids here too?! He supposed it didn't really matter in the end. If this guy was anything like Labrys, then he had emotions and stuff too. What they were made of likely didn't matter, huh? ]

Heh, you know, now that you mention it... um, I'm Yosuke, by the way. What's yours?

[plasticasshole]

My name is Connor. Nice to meet you, Yosuke.

[He glances at Labrys again.]

It's always interesting to see androids from different worlds. In comparison, I guess I'm pretty plain.

[He doesn't mind, though.]

[dj_jiraiya]

I dunno, I think the fact that like you look pretty human is cool. Not that Labrys or Aigis don't even if it's a lot more obvious what they are, but, still.

[plasticasshole]

I'm glad you think so.

[It's nice to be appreciated for what he is.]

I look very different with my skin deactivated, of course.

[dj_jiraiya]

...how different?

[ Was it creepy? ]

Wait, how does skin get deactivated?

[plasticasshole]

Different enough.

[He holds up his hand, the skin disappearing there to show the white and grey plastic that makes up his body.]

My skin and hair are made of a fluid that coats my plastic and can be deactivated and reactivated at will.
