〈The image focused on a crystal clear representation of 9S. Under floppy, silver hair and an oversized blindfold were delicate features which were brightening in a cheery smile.

For a new arrival in Hadriel he seemed curiously pleased with his situation.〉

Hello!

〈He chimes, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation.〉

I hope nobody objects to me borrowing this frequency for a few minutes. What a funny way of communicating, it's so archaic!

I was just wondering if I could arrange to meet with a few of the humans in the local area. I'm very keen to take a look at you, regardless of gender or medical condition. I was astounded to see so many life signs here, it's phenomenal!

It's all for research purposes of course, nothing sinister!

〈And with that, he signed off with a happy, little wave.〉

〈Her interest humbled him.〉

It's not rude at all!

I was designed for a specific purpose: to gather information. So once I had been fully designed a production line was created of my model. I'm 9S, which means I'm YoRHa Number 9 Type: Scanner. There were eight models before me and maybe more that'll come after me.

[roseofthetyrells]

[he's just too cute for words]

Really? What sort of information were you to gather? And there are more of you than just--well, you?

[9_s]

Oh, all sorts of things really. Scouting areas for danger or resources. Lifeforms both hostile and not. You name it -- anything useful, I reported it.

Yep, there are others like me but we're aesthetically slightly different to tell us apart. Mainly with small features like hair and eye colour.

[roseofthetyrells]

What kinds of dangers did you encounter? And there are lifeforms other than humans? What are they like?

How unusual! Is it odd, seeing others that may look something like you, but aren't you?

[9_s]

The machine lifeforms, they wiped out humans hundreds of years ago. They're still around though, constantly multiplying and causing havoc.

I never thought of it that way, I mean, we all fulfil the same function so I suppose it's normal to us that we look so similar.

〈He paused before adding something, this was quieter as if secret or taboo.〉

I like my hair colour the most though.

[roseofthetyrells]

So in your world, all humans are dead? Killed by machines? Perhaps Westeros is fortunate in that we have no such technology.

I suppose it would be? And anyone can get used to anything in time.

[she smiles encouragingly]

I like your hair color, too. It suits you.

[9_s]

〈The only thing 9S really focused on was her final comment. He was unaccustomed to receiving compliments and her praise excited him. Pushing back his blindfold he revealed his pale, bluish-grey eyes.〉

Thank you! I think my hair goes with my eyes!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she's pleased to see him remove the blindfold. it implies trust to her]

I think it does, too. Why do you go blindfolded, then?

[9_s]

〈He turned the blindfold around to show her the digital display inside.〉

It helps me analyse what I see, but I can see perfectly fine without it too!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she looks fascinated by the technological display. all of this technology is completely new to her]

Then it sounds very useful, but I'm glad you can see without it, too.

[9_s]

〈He smiled sweetly.〉

Me too!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles back brightly]

Does everyone back home have devices like your blindfold?

[9_s]

Most of YoRHa do, yes! I think it matches nicely with our black attire, but everyone tells me it's just 'practical' to be the same colour.

[roseofthetyrells]

There's nothing wrong with having a favorite color or wanting your outfits to match. Clothing is very important, it says a lot about who you are.

[9_s]

Oh, you think so? Do you think that's why we all wear uniforms? I wonder what my uniform says about me...

[roseofthetyrells]

It says that you're a stylish young android. Your uniform has a lot of extra details that make it appealing. I love the detailing on the bottom of your jacket.

[9_s]

〈He was giddy at her reaction - such high praise!〉

Really? You think so?

Thank you so much! I'll get something with more detail for the next time we talk!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she finds him charming, of course she's going to praise him]

I look forward to seeing it! It seems that most people here don't pay proper attention to what they wear.

[9_s]

I would gladly wear anything you chose for me!

〈If it had come from anyone else, it may have come across as sleazy, but there's no undercurrent of desire there. Just the want to please in the most innocent of ways.〉

[roseofthetyrells]

Well, first I need a better source of clothing. What they have at the shops simply won't do at all!

[she's not taking it as sleazy at all. she knows sleazy (she was engaged to Joffrey Baratheon after all), and he's not it]
