voice, un: x crow x

[unpromising]

Hey. My name's Qrow.

[ A familiar greeting, not that anybody is familiar with him! His voice is gruff and tired, but that's his everyday voice. ]

That guy everyone's been chasing after is dead. [ A slight pause, and in a softer tone: ] Killed himself.

He gave some details to the cure, though. Said that we need a plant called the Oshai Leaf for it, and it can only be found in Wyver.

Wyver's been hit with the same disease, too. No idea what the situation's like there, but they can't find the cure for it either. Another ingredient for the cure can only be found here.

That's all I know. If you've got questions, ask. I'll try to answer 'em.

[ The sound of liquid hitting metal can be heard, but that's just him moving his flask closer to his mouth. ]

Comments

[unpromising]

If you're talking about me, then yeah... I am pretty strange.

[ There's a slight hint of affection when he makes that comment. Qrow is a joke -- at least, that's what he thinks.

He also means that the shady man was not human. ]

[atwo]

Why just you? [ qrow, you're definitely strange. it slowly hits her. ]

What was he? If you don't mind me asking.

[unpromising]

[ Matter-of-factly: ]

An android.

[atwo]

I must admit, I'm surprised to hear there are androids here. But, my world wouldn't be the only one with them.

I assume that it was in his programming to end his life should he be caught.

[unpromising]

If it was in his programming to do that, then he wouldn't have talked in the first place.

[ ... he thinks. He's not good with androids and robots and tech. ]

[atwo]

Maybe. He could have easily not known -- I had a bomb inside of me which I didn't become aware of until my friends... blew up.

[ y e p. ]

[unpromising]

Uh... what?

[ What the hell. ]

No offense, but this is why tech shouldn't be trusted.

[atwo]

I'm confused as to why tech shouldn't be trusted, as you say. It's those that are in charge that people cannot easily trust.

[unpromising]

[ A deep sigh. ]

Where I was from, there was a country that relied heavily on machinery. They were rich, sure, and they were also powerful. Their soldiers were androids. Effective, but only in theory.

A bunch of 'em were brought to a festival where the entire world was watching. Got hacked by the enemy and started shooting the innocent. Guess it's the people in charge's fault for letting that happen, too, but you wouldn't be able to hack into hundreds of soldier's brains if they were organic.

[atwo]

Are they androids in having their own AI and thoughts? ... It feels quite strange for that to happen and unfortunate as well. I'm sorry that you had to go through that.

[ They're supposed to protect, not kill. ]

So,you're saying that a human couldn't be brought to do it?

[unpromising]

No clue.

[ He usually didn't let them speak before he personally dismantled them with his bare hands. ]

To what? To hurt people? Humans do it all the time.

[atwo]

I see.

[ well then, in that case... ]

That means they can't be trusted either and they're no different to a machine.

[unpromising]

[ He can't help but puff out a laugh at that. ]

Guess you got a point there.

[atwo]

So when it comes down to it, we aren't very different.

[unpromising]

Guess not.

[ A pause. ]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[atwo]

Depends on how you view it. It doesn't matter much to me, personally.

[ Because she is already aware that there are some rotten Androids out there. ]

[unpromising]

Oh, good.

[ That she doesn't seem to care, because Qrow has Opinions and he's not going to sugarcoat them. ]

Guess I'll figure out of the androids here are good or not. I don't want to have to deal with the same ones from Remnant again.

[atwo]

Android 9S and myself can be classified as 'good'. [ Okay, she can't really 100% 9S, but at least she has some hope for him. ]

Granted, I can't really claim that he and other Androids can't be hacked easily.

[unpromising]

Well, let's just hope you and this 9S fellow steers clear of people who're good with tech.

[atwo]

I'm quite content to say that I've got plenty of barriers up that will be hard for people to get by.

[ Even a hacker model like 9S has trouble with her. ]
