On the Other Side

Dogged Days

After Bismarck recovered and corrected Hood on her...beliefs...the duo went their separate ways to do what they needed to. Hood went to her office in case anyone needed her while Bismarck left to socialize and do roll, just in case anyone is missing.

In Hood's office, she was resting and catching up on what she missed over the 60 years she was dead. The school taught her plenty of things, but never went into much detail about the other core parts of modern society, such as the computers that they barely used.

Hood: Is this how I turn it on?

She clicked a button on the strange box next to the computer, where it started making noises that unnerved her.

Hood: Did...did I do it wrong? Is it gonna blow up?!

Eventually, the screen turned on and the computer booted up as normal.

Hood: Oh thank God

*click*

Z23 Komandantin? Are you in-, there you are!

She walked over to Hood, looking at the computer.

Z23: Do you need to do something on the internet?

Hood: Well, I'm trying to learn it actually

Z23: Hmm...I can see if Z1 can help you since she's all about computers, but right now you have a visitor

Hood: A visitor?

Z23: Yes, she came a long way to meet you and asked me to keep who she was a secret

Hood narrowed her eyes.

Hood:*suspicious* Isn't that a bit strange? Do you think this person is here to hurt me?

Z23:*smiles* She's not here to hurt you, she only wants her identity unknown to you so I know who she is

...

Hood:*sigh* Fine, let's get going then

She fumbled around with the computer and eventually turned it off, following Nimi out to wherever this person was.

Hood: When did they arrive?

Z23: Only a bit ago, they came here asking for you, and when we saw who it was we confirmed the visit and I came to get you

The conversation dropped after that, and Z23 took Hood to the dorm building.

Hood: They're in here?

Z23: Yes, she should be in the common room

Hood: She? Doesn't exactly narrow it down but it's a start

Z23 stayed behind as she entered the building, and not surprisingly, especially since it was midday, no one was really in the building.

Hood: Right, so the common room should be right where the floors converge.

The layout of the building was strange, as it was a two story building with stairs inside the common room that led to the upper floor. From there, both 1st and 2nd floors could be accessed.

*creak*

Hood: Hello? I was told you came to...visit...

Her words died in her throat as she saw the red and black sword put up against the wall. She looked towards the couch and saw a familiar pair of ears peaking over the seat's back.

Hood: Corgi ears...that means...

She inched towards the couch, hearing the very slight clinking of a cup on a saucer, meaning whoever was there was shaking.
