Then have a little faith in yourself. And maybe use it on yourself if you're still worried. No better person to control you than you, right?
[ mmm. fair. ]
... Have you considered she might be pissed as all hell if you healed her and not yourself? [ but before lbx speaks, he adds-- ]
And have you spoken to her about it directly?

[ this makes him laugh a little, actually. ]
Yes, and no.
[ so. ] Not yet. I already know she'll say exactly what you just said, but... When we get back, I can get in a medical capsule, and be back to normal in a couple of days. I have a desk job that doesn't require me to be physical, and Gideon loves swinging her sword arguably more than almost anything in life.
[ there's a pause, and he adds, softly: ] ...And I don't know how many people in her life have done something kind for her, just because they could.

I think you have your answer then, don't you?
[ he's just blunt about it. ]
... Look, I'm with you on that. She might not have realised it, but she's been pretty clear she's never had people doing things for her just because. Not really.
You also have Jingheng to help you around. And we might be able to negotiate some better treatment for you.

Don't tell her I told you, but she also really, really does not want to talk to the [ its weird to call this tiny group of children demons ] ...our guides to get healed. Harrowhark said she needs to, but she's resistant to it for a lot of reasons. If I had an easier solution to give her, I'd give it to her in a heartbeat.
The problem lies in the fact that she'd deny it, if I did just ask. And... I don't know if there's a way I can do it without her knowing. I think I could get her to drink it without realizing it, at least, but I do think she'd be angry at me, if I did.

Ugh. Yeah, she’s not stupid. And I could suggest we try and drink roulette her and pretend one heals people now, buuut— I don’t think she’d fall for that long term.
Have you thought about laying it out to her like you did to me?

Annnd "ganging up" on her-- [ he does finger quotes ]-- would have the absolute opposite effect of what we want. It'd just get her back up.
[ the gideon struggle. ]
... Honestly you might just have to do it and deal. She'll be mad, but I don't think she could be really mad at you for long.

...Why are you the second person who thought I was kidnapping her?
[ help ]
Of course she knows. It's been in the works for a few weeks - it's just only recently started to solidify, all things considered. There are things we're working on, so, I'm telling you in confidence, but that is the plan.

Because I can definitely see you running around adopting all the kids with shit backgrounds here— and there are a damn lot of them, why are there so many of them?— and running off with them. [ it’s said more amused than anything. ]
Good. I told her there was no way in hell she was going back to what she left. We just needed to find something better for her that she’d accept.

[ he. laughs a little at that, reaching up to rub the back of his neck, smile very sheepish. ]
I do have the benefit of having an entire galaxy that's used to taking in refugees, but... I would always ask, first.
[ so date's not wrong. the second part gets him to smile a little more affectionately, though, and he nods. ]
Yeah. I... offered - today. I offered to be her legal guardian. There are other paths to her getting out that don't involve that, but... I put the offer on the table, at least.

If you have the space you might as well use it. [ date has a one bedroom bachelor pad and he sleeps on the sofa so mizuki has a bed. ]
That's one less thing to worry about. Even if she didn't take it, for some entirely unknown reason, we'd still find something better for her.

[ happy monday!!! date! and aiba!! maybe aiba is more exciting? who knows. date is very exciting.
bixing seems to be in a really good mood - he's moving around a lot more easily than he was the day before, and not only that, but he seems to take to this city like a fish to water. so! he's joked about going to let aiba pick his brain and vice versa but he doesn't want to leave date out, so he's inviting him to come meet him at a little place selling tasty looking street food that's like less questionable.
he grins across the table where they get settled, holding a cup of coffee between his hands. ] This is so exciting! I wish I could have had more time to work with any of the AI we've had here all along...

[ no, aiba is more exciting. she is back in date's eye though, but date's phone is on the table between them so... she can still communicate. ]
We have a pretty big technological gap between some places. And I guess with most of them not working as they usually would it would've been kind of difficult.

No kidding. Have you seen Zhanlu walking around? It's been so nice to have him back.
[ their butler slash killer mech... bixing seems very happy with this. he taps out a message absently on his device, so aiba gets a little ping that reads Hello, Aiba! 🥰 ]

And he's just... entirely AI? Like Aiba, but with a form that isn't just an eye?
[ date's left eye moves by itself (herself) for a moment, which is probably very weird to see but date doesn't seem bothered by it. ]
Hello Zhanlu.
[ date's left eye moves by itself (herself) for a moment, which is probably very weird to see but date doesn't seem bothered by it. ]
Hello Zhanlu.
He is. He's a mech core - he powers a mech about ten times as large as D.va's, but, he can take other forms. He transitions between tech, too - in here, in Lin's hand, in cars... If he can take over the neural network that powers these things, he can get into them.
[ the eye is fine. this is eighth shit.
also lbx doesn't have zhanlu but i decided at this moment he decided to do a little techy hop for a bit so he can be here in the personal device.
It is nice to meet you. ]

So kinda like when I plug Aiba in to charge, only when I do that she becomes my entire car. Something like that? The core’s like… the part that makes him him?
[ he may not be a computer nerd, but he does know the concept of what aiba is and how she functions within herself, to a point. ] It’s probably a good thing she can’t hook herself up to something and become it though.
I certainly have more freedom of expression within a Somnium.
