I should have wrote a letter
Who: Maeve & OTA
Where: Promenade, Playback, and John's
What: November catchall, fallout from October stuff
When: November 6th onwards
1. Promendade
Once she leaves the room finally, she stops at Sundries to pick up a package. When she opens it, she stares for a long moment at the trifold tablet with the hook up. She sits in the middle of the promenade and pulls out a small knife to cut her right forearm, sighing as her fingers found the port and then connected herself to the tablet before pulling up the diagnostic screen and running a scan.
Everything seems functional so far. No signs of any injury or malfunctions.
“Well, I guess that’s…good,” she says to the air before pulling another screen up with the attribute matrix. She doesn’t immediately move to change things, but her fingers hesitate over the screen as she considers it. She could feel less of this, could just avoid it. But she has shit to do and...really, she shouldn't.
2. Playback
It’s the noise of the place that draws her in. She can hear the machines both in and out of her head and it’s the sound of it that’s steadying her in that moment. She doesn’t have any idea still how to make the games work or play anything. Which is why she just…stands there, eyes closed as she listens to everything. The sound of other people helps as well and she feels a little less overwhelmed after a moment. She wonders if it’s cheating to use her abilities to control the machines as she makes the claw move on its own. Not that she cares for prizes, but she does want to at least try for something. Only as the minutes pass, she shakes her head.
“Do you know how to play any of these games,” she asks whoever is closest to her. “I want to learn something new.”
3. John’s
She hasn’t seen Phil in a while. She’s been avoiding John’s because he’d said that he needed time. But when she peeks in, she doesn’t see him. Just hears the sound of Billy Joel filtering through the air. So she walks in and finds a booth to sit in where she can just listen to the music for a while.
She doesn’t actually know the song but the mood is at least less depressing than her mood at the moment. If anyone happens to find her sitting there, she’ll go from sitting with a chin resting on her hand to sitting up straight. “Oh. Hello, darling. I didn’t notice you there.” A beat. “Do you know this song?”

"I will be certain to find the correct section of the library, then. I am curious to learn to understand the different bumps. I have been learning a lot of things since coming here. Perhaps you can teach me some? If you ever want to. I doubt I'll find a book that will teach me given the ship's lack of...non-fiction. I am hoping that might change one day." Either way...she realizes she is still taking up time. "But we can talk about that more later."

Erin goes to leave and pauses at the entrance to the shop. "...And, hey. Thanks for taking the time to help me and meet me an' all that. I do appreciate it."

She nods at her words, staying where she is for a moment. "Of course, darling. I'm always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day."
