No, before you ask, account hasn't been hijacked, I just had a spa day after getting a nice. 'Nice'. Nice. offer from some pretty girls and after Evelyn and I broke up. Not as fancy as I'd like, but there's something nice about going for subdued with expensive but non-loud clothes and spa treatments.

(The glasses are an OOPARTS/BV toy, like a mini-VR headset)

And before I get questions on that: It was amicable. She's too much of a robot, might go back to her, but we're still. I guess friends is a term I like.

... And this is obvious from conversations with Onni, but I'm comfortable with saying I'm a gold digger, now, or at least that's how I feel. Money feels nice...

Also, can we stick to calling me Katie or if you want to be professional, Caitlain?

Which brings me to an interesting thing I want to ask.

Someone wants you to pretend to be their sister, and is willing to pay you to be said sister, is it acceptable to fake being a sister if all parties involved consent?

Also, what should you do about a recently demoted superior who's now your coffee girl and gofer. How do you put her in her place?

[Private to (memoryistime)]

You, the memory Samasu, your name's skipping my head, I get you're apparently busy due to what I've read with files, but I want your help maybe with something. I've got a line of credit I can shove at you if money's an object.

Shian, but I get the idea of names skipping in heads. I have that problem all the time.

Money isn't an issue, but you got my attention either way. What's up?

I'm aware from our files you don't like using your powers, but I have a pragmatic-ish request.

Time, money, I'd like you to either kill the personality of "Mikata Niyo" or pull Me, "Caitlain 'Katie' Mikata" out of her head.

I don't do any killing, even of the metaphorical sense.

What would you get out of me pulling your whole self out of your current head, though?

I'll have a clone body provided that'll be a mental blank slate. Tabula Rosa. You can shove me in.

I'd ask Mrs. Wakahisa, the original one with the divine glow.

But I'd rather not have my intelligence nuked.

Oh, that's why.

Yeah I can probably pull the whole of you out, but it might take an extended amount of time to make sure I get, uh, everything out, that's considered to be "you". My domain's more memory and knowledge, than personality and intelligence, but I can probably push it enough given some hours.

I do think parts of Me are also Her, but I'm not concerned with leaving her undamaged.

And again, I'll very gladly pay for the time involved.

I'm a little concerned, mostly because you might end up carrying things you don't want over in the process if she's "damaged". Better I make sure it's clean.

We'll work out the rates.

I'm saying parts of me that make me me are also things that make 'Niyo' her.

And I plan to ship her home once we're done. Let her village deal with her catatonic ass.

Right, I get it.

I'll do what I can here.

I have trouble remembering people whose bank accounts aren't in the millions of Yen. Or are Onni or Evelyn. I dunno yours, so pffft.

I keep my financials private.

Thus, my memory of your name is going to be shaky at best.

Fair enough.

If you phrase it like that you're gonna make it sound like I was the one who called you a gold digger...!

...I do like the new look, though.

You're exactly the person to do it! I have a right to want money for low to no effort!

... Do you? Go on. I'm listening.

My reputation's already in the gutter, you know...!

I mean. It's nice. Distinct. Short hair and glasses is a powerful look. Definitely distances you from who you might've been before.

You had a reputation?

I was weighing between this and twin tails. The glasses are mostly for work.

... Speaking of which, how do you feel about me getting mind transfered into my own body and shipping 'Niyo' back to her home village?

See, this is what I'm talking about.

I like the bob cut more than the twintails, I think. I think it frames your face better.

...Uh. Hrm. I feel like that might cause the village to hate us but I can't really think of better alternatives. And I know you have wanted your own uh. Body, so to speak.

I mean we could always change the department name to what the new Mrs. Wakahisa and Mizz Moeko and Mrs. Aisenburn keep calling it. That'd be a reputation.

Ah.

But yeah, I wanted to not be. Niyo. I mean I could try one last effort, but. I think new look, new me? It made sense?

I figured it made sense. I'm not 'Niyo', but my memories are very much she came from a "It takes a village" kind of place. So even if it takes a few decades, might as well be somewhere people care for her.

We are not under any circumstances renaming it that.

Ah? You're not happy with my explanation?

...Yeah. I think it makes the most... sense. And I guess I can hold out hope she comes back together in few decades, maybe, but. We don't exactly have the... bandwidth, to care for that here, especially while you're in the pilot's seat.

But it'd be funny.

No, just. Babbling.

... Why hasn't she stitched herself back together... hrm...

To you, not to me...! I already get enough of that 'assumed horndog' just from my looks!

...Couldn't say. Might just be she needs. Space. To put herself back together. Both mental and physical. Domino was never especially kind to her.

It really bothers you, doesn't it?

... Like I have her memories, and I'd agree, but I'd love to hear your read on the "Domino was never especially kind to her" part. If it's not too much to ask.

Yeah, maybe more than it should. Does it seem like I'm letting it get to me too much?

I think the overall uh, supernaturalness of Domino got to her in a way it doesn't get to other people. I think she wanted a... 'normal' life and the fact that she was never going to get that in Domino slowly drove her cuckoo.

You come off as desperate, a bit. Obsessed with what other people think of you.

Ah. I can definitely. See that. I don't want a normal life. I want money, my tubes tied, and things to keep me stimulated.

Desperate's a bit harsh, innit? I feel like not wanting my workplace to be referred to as, you know, that isn't exactly desperate.

Yeah, I've long since accepted I'm going to live in bed with the weirdness, but I don't think Niyo ever felt comfortable with it. But that's me being an armchair psychologist.

You come off as humorless, unable to roll with punches.

Eh.

So gonna send her home. Maybe touching jungle grass will help her.

If it's not too much trouble.

An associate of mine would like to meet that woman you had mentioned before.

Everheart?

I am told Ms. Everheart understands dealing with doors.

Ah. Perfect timing actually.

It's best you get it done now before Ms. Everheart probably gets her brain frazzled, Ms. Maboroshi.

I'll schedule that then.

Who's your associate.

Echo.

Ah. A new player.

I can do that though.

... I need your help, Mikata.

I doubt it worked, but I'm betting on a chance.

I'm almost hunted down.

I'm getting tired of running on human legs.

Help.

Oh. Of course.

Master.

Give me a little bit...
