Processing... Failed. Retrying...

[In the midst of everything, an unfamiliar person appears. She doesn't look scared or lost so much as she looks... curious. Tired, too, as evidenced by a huge yawn before she even bothers to look around.]

Very unfamiliar surroundings. [She looks down at herself] And casing-

... 'Cept that isn't casing. Wait a second. What's happening?

[She tries to take a step forward, but stumbles. After barely catching herself, she stares down at her own hands, her breathing quickening.]

... Panic. Um. ... I'm... human?

Are you... alright?

[bellachaotica]

Did somebody say panic?

[millenia]

.... Kiori?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

That would depend on the value of alright.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I did. I am. I mean.

It.

[looong pause]

I can't even...

[krestomanci.livejournal.com]

You sound as if you need help.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

User?!

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

You know, I've heard people call their bodies a lot of weird things, but I'm pretty sure casing's a first.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

So long as you don't give it in menu form.

I mean. Can you... fix this? What is this?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have a body, I should have casing! I'm not sentient!

...Well. I am now. ... But I wasn't before!

[bellachaotica]

What about odd?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[You could probably hear her brain breaking there...]

I'm sorry. Try again?

[krestomanci.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was hoping you could tell me. What seems to be wrong?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

I'm human.

[millenia]

It worked! You're okay, and it worked! Yay!!

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

The last thing I remember is a lot of yellow. And you scrolling things way too fast.

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

Not sentient? How can you know the now is wrong if the then didn't have any thinking?

On second thought, back up. What were you before?

[krestomanci.livejournal.com]

Is that all? What would you rather be?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Dell XPS M1710. Intel Core Duo T2600 processor, NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX graphics card with 512 megabytes DDR Memory... 2 gigs memory at 667 megahertz--...

[takes a deep breath] ... Sorry. I'm... worked up. I guess.

[Though she is mumbling the rest of her specs v. quietly to herself now.]

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

I... don't know. This is new, and sudden, and I don't understand.

[bellachaotica]

Can you odd if you can't even?

[Long pause, as Melia looks Kiori over... and then she grins.] What's your name?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[Hesitantly] Kiori. What is your name?

[seamuszharper.livejournal.com]

So somebody got you an android body? Is that what you're so worked up about? [under his breath] Hell'va low spec machine to move from.

[bellachaotica]

Melia. Nice to meet you in person!

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Android? What? No. That's something different.

[She walks over, grabs his hand, turns it palm-up and starts poking the center of his palm.] I'm entirely flesh. I'm human.

[And now she half-heartedly glares.] And I'll have you know that in 2005, my specs kicked ass for a portable.
