[ more people are dead - and the worst part about it is that Fiora can barely muster up the energy to be shocked about it, by this point. They knew this would happen. She knew - but, once again, she was helpless to do anything about it, as clueless as she was this time last week.

But that's not what she's here for. She looks around for Hansa for a while, but when she can't find him, she's left with one place left to check... ]


Um... Hansa? Are you in there?

[ how does one knock on a blanket fort...... she's tapping the top very lightly with one hand. ]

[ it's such a strange picture that she can't help laughing behind her hand a little. ]

Oh, I... wanted to talk to you about something. In private. [ tilting her head. ] Is it just you?

[ are blanca and won also in there... ]

... Well, this is a bit of a long shot, but do you know anything about repairing mechanical bodies like ours?

[ a chagrined look. ]

I'm worried about mine after that blast.

No... Not that I can tell. I've only been this way for a few months, so I'm not great at knowing exactly what's wrong. But...

[ she shifts on her feet, looking uneasy. ]

... It's... not just the explosion. [ a beat. ] You have to promise not to tell anyone about what I'm going to say, okay?

[ i forgot about emotion sharing. Fiora wears her heart on her sleeve a lot - she's exactly as uneasy inside as she looks outside, if not moreso. She doesn't know how to put this. ]

Me getting put into this body - it wasn't something that had really been done before. And the person who did it wasn't really interested in keeping me alive for long. [ ... ] ... It's been failing since before I got here.

[ a beat; she clenches her fists, looking at him seriously. ]

I'm all right with that. But I can't die before I get back home - I just can't. I didn't think I'd get damaged like this, and I'm worried it made things worse. So -- if you could see if there's something you could do just to keep me going for a little while longer... You're the only one I can ask.

[ it's a relief that he takes it well. She was bracing for an argument about fighting harder to find a solution; that's what usually happens back home. Now all she can do is hope she's not burdening him too much. Fiora offers him a sad smile, then does her best to recount the problems. ]

... This body is meant to be part of a larger unit, but that got destroyed. Without it, I don't really produce enough power to keep everything working. My circulation isn't good... And I've lost a lot of blood that I can't really replace. I think that's what Linada said...

[ it's all fuzzy, though, to her dismay. ]

She upgraded me with a maintenance part to help boost my strength for a while, give my heart some kick. But the part's not really made for someone like me, so I'm worried it got loose. I've been feeling really tired. More than usual... [ a beat; she drops her head, tenting her fingers nervously. ] Sorry. I know this is a lot to ask all of a sudden. And if you can't do anything, it's fine.

[ this feels like something they shouldn't be doing in and/or around a blanket fort, but ... well. Here they are. Fiora still looks hesitant - the aura of her emotions makes it clear that she's both ashamed of her problems and scared of what the outcome might be - but she's brave and resolved enough to nod. ]

Yeah. It's here. You probably shouldn't touch anything, though. Not while we're all shocking each other.

[ she also hasn't done this while she's conscious, so she prays it doesn't hurt. She puts a hand to the triangular brass piece below her collarbone, and, after a moment, manages to safely remove it along with the panel covering the majority of her chest, revealing more machinery than skin. Said machinery is also quite alien, not resembling much on Earth - but there is one part inside the cavity that looks like it came from another machine, attached to a metal box sitting near where her heart should be. ]

Er... probably. I'll be honest, I was unconscious when she put it in.

[ looking down at all of it makes her feel a bit queasy - not only because she's looking at her insides, but because she doesn't even recognize them as part of her. It's like looking inside a piece of equipment. Fiora starts to refasten the exterior perhaps a little sooner than she should. ]

You think you can do something?
bisouled: (can't you see i'm drowning)

[personal profile] bisouled 2020-10-24 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ nodding. ]

I -- I think so. It must be, right? [ she feels so utterly useless here. Meyneth had known how to keep the Mechon body working; Fiora's never felt her loss so keenly. ] And yes. I'd passed out after a lot of exertion, that's all.
