Private to Siobhan, Laina, Murderbot over the Sendjewel Network

WARNING: frank discussion of IRL transphobia; the deep deep spoilers to the Wonders of Mundus series as a whole are likely.

To Siobhan, Laina:
I - suspect you two had a better idea than I did of who young Tsukuda was but I would speak to you both about the context.

To Murderbot:
I suspect you are more inclined to talk to me over the Sendjewel than in person. My name is, for the sake of argument, Hikaru Aozora; I knew you in the story as Rin. I'd like to talk with you about what I perceived of what happened if you'll allow me.

I. Erm. Yes hello. Hi.

[Laina is blinking.]

Akira Tsukoda. That was you. Except taller and less wing-y. Darker hair. Skateboards are cool. I probably looked crazy the entire time didn't I.

Where should we meet? I didn't do anything hurtful right? I-I'm sorry if I did???

[Yup. There's some stress in there.]
terraboo: (Base Smile)

[personal profile] terraboo 2025-12-13 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Yes. See you there.

[... She's actually there pretty quickly, in part due to having the skill for it.]

Hello.

...I don't know you. Although I guess you know Siobhan. You have the same Feed connection.

(Because oops, it doesn't have anyone by that name it its records; it has no way to connect Hikaru to his Story persona.)
ugh_emotions: (Neutral 02)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

(Okay, so Hikaru had basically looked like someone else completely. Guess that was a thing that could happen, apparently.)

(There is also an overwhelming sense of [bafflement] from SecUnit: it does not understand what, exactly, it is being thanked for. Except it doesn't seem to be for the rescue, for some reason.)

Uh. Hi? Again, I guess. Sorry you had to be someone else for a while, or whatever the fuck just happened.
ugh_emotions: (Neutral 13)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

(It wasn't. But SecUnit wasn't about to tell anyone that they should be preferring to it as 'it/its'. Or that they should actually call it SecUnit. That would be revealing far too much.)

You and Other You still share a name?
ugh_emotions: (Neutral 03)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't.

Are you the friend who transcoded the media I gave her?


(Siobhan's been rather vague about this particular 'friend' of hers, but SecUnit has assumed that whoever they are, they're around here somewhere. Analysis suggests a 67% likelihood that Hikaru and the 'friend' are the same person.)

Uh, okay. I know your Sendjewels are limited, but it's just basic file transcoding. It's nothing special.

(Not where SecUnit comes from, anyway. Even unaugmented humans could do that.)

Not really. I know about games, of course, but I don't like them. They're not very interesting. I like visual media.

(It had tried some games. But turns out it's hard to get invested in a medium where you can just immediately break the game and hack your way into success, all of the time.)
ugh_emotions: (Surprised 01)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wait. Siobhan's Tourist Planet is actually a simulation game?
ugh_emotions: (Annoyed 05)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Siobhan is here. Physically, I mean. She couldn't do that if she was a simulation.

Well, unless this place is even more fucking bullshit, and I don't know, gave her a fucking body or something. Ugh.
ugh_emotions: (Dubious 02)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and that was also fucking bullshit. This whole place is bullshit.

(And is it very, very over all of it? Why yes, it absolutely is.)

Uh. Okay? But I just need to know which one I'm supposed to use.
ugh_emotions: (Annoyed 09)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Then don't tell anyone it was your legal name. Just say the Story gave you some other stupid name and you've never heard it before, or whatever.

(Fucking hell, this is why humans - or Sentient Organic Beings - should not do their own Security.)

Michiko was you, yes. I'm sorry it took me far too long to realize that, but you look very different as an Earth Andrax--sorry, as a human--than you do as a pixie. And I didn't know you'd done Scherzo's special rites--or the Earthly equivalent, I guess. But I did know it was you when I kissed you.

There's a brief pause there.

I don't regret the kissing. But I should probably warn you about the complications to that back on Mundus.
ugh_emotions: (Annoyed 05)

[personal profile] ugh_emotions 2025-12-13 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, this is why people who, uh...don't know anything about Security shouldn't do their own Security.

(Fuck, that's a stupid way of saying that. This is what it gets for pretending to be human; now it can't just say how bad humans are at Security, because it's supposed to be one of them. Ugh.)
