Let me know when you can come by the tech lab so we can get Zwei his final fitting for the Corginator 3000.

[scytheology]

[there's an excited-sounding yelp from Zwei in the background before Ruby's voice comes on.]

Hey Dirk! Does right now work with you?

[splinten]

Yeah, I'm free.

[scytheology]

Cool! Where should we meet you? Like, do you have a thing in the labs?

[splinten]

You can find me by the sound of sweet jams radiating from my shades.

[That's not a directional guide, Dirk.]

[scytheology]

( sorry for the delay! life happens, you know how it goes )

Uh... got anything more to go off of than that?

[like, Zwei could probably pick up the tunes if there actually are audio cues leading to Dirk...]

[splinten]

It's the far corner of the tech lab.

[There really are audio cues though, he really is sitting in the tech lab listening to rap music.]

[scytheology]

Why didn't you just say that before?

[her tone is joking, but also kind of serious... why are other people like this. this is why she has trouble making friends. another happy yip from Zwei spurns her on, and the sound of her rising and beginning to walk is audible.]

You'll know when we get there!

[splinten]

I thought my instructions were easier to follow.

[He... genuinely believes that... sorry Ruby... he'll wait though.]

[scytheology]

[it doesn't take Ruby very long to arrive, though if he was expecting her to speed through the base, she's actually walking without invoking her Semblance. she pauses for a bit once she gets to the lab, taking a second to just stare in awe at everything around.

Zwei kinda just trots in behind her and starts sniffing stuff, as dogs do.]

Dirk? [realizing that she might be interrupting someone else's work since this is a lab, which she knows can require some form of concentration—even though Dirk did say he jams out to music while he works—she corrects herself, this time in an exaggerated stage whisper,] Diiiirk... we're heeeere...

[splinten]

[Yes, it would be terrible to interrupt the delicate work environment.

Dirk waves a hand for her to see. He's in the line of sight and also hearing.

And there's a corgi mech sitting right on the lab table so that probably helps too.]

Over here. Hey, Zwei.

[Because he's been taught to greet animals too.]

[ On the morning of December 25th, Ruby will wake up to a small, brightly wrapped package next to where she sleeps. Inside it will be a drawing of her and URSULA in her robot form, both giving each other a high five. The picture is also framed. Besides that, there are also cookies that she managed to bake herself! As she cannot taste test, they might not be perfect, but they are cutely decorated with “Happy Holidays, Ruby!” and other holiday themed items, like snowmen and reindeer.

A note attached simply says, “From URSULA!” ]
