Text to Eos

[levelshift]

[Shortly after arriving in the new bubble, Accelerator sends out a text message to Eos.]

Hey. Thanks for letting me use your network.

[Ugh, he isn't good at gratitude, but much like with Aurora Eos is under no obligation to let him use the processing power of her network in this way, so at the very least he should say something.]

[etrayanpcs]

I am required to maintain your basic needs.

[levelshift]

My needs are a little less basic than most people.

What's with your bubble being a facsimile of American suburbs? Etraya is a lot more eclectic. Who decided this?

[etrayanpcs]

I did.

[levelshift]

[That raises so many questions.]

Why?

[etrayanpcs]

Why not?

[levelshift]

Not all of us are cut out for the American ideal of a four person nuclear family in a cookie cutter neighbourhood. Homogeneity doesn't do anyone any fucking favours.

Plus, it's a waste of space and not energy efficient.

[etrayanpcs]

Maintaining connections and creating a sustainable routine is important to keep one's mental health from declining.

I have created connections for you and manufactured a sustainable routine for all individuals residing within Moorecroft.

My energy is being used efficiently.

[levelshift]

There are a lot of different ways to maintain mental health. You picked this, specifically. What was it that helped you decide instead of going with some other option?

Individual single family houses, all with front and back lawns, and everyone having at least one car? It's a lot, even if you can manage it just fine right now. How much population growth does your bubble have over time?

[etrayanpcs]

I like it like this.

We anticipate a thirteen percent growth in population followed by a ten percent decrease every month. Our growth curve is stable.

[levelshift]

[He really wants to ask 'why?' again, but he doesn't want to start sounding like Last Order......]

You're into family shit?

The hell? Is a decrease in the double digits considered normal? That seems like a lot, even accounting for growth.

[etrayanpcs]

The decrease is not in my jurisdiction.

[levelshift]

Right, right. Let me guess, it's Echo's?

[etrayanpcs]

That's correct.

[levelshift]

Does that mean you're basically having to re-adjust everything every month? Do you get any kind of warning if, say, some kid's assigned parents are going to get kicked out, or do you have to come up with fixes on the fly?

[etrayanpcs]

I like to think I'm good at winging it.

[levelshift]

Yeah? How long have you been doing it?

[etrayanpcs]

A while.

[levelshift]

'A while' for you can mean something completely different for me. Be more specific.

[etrayanpcs]

Longer than you have existed.

[levelshift]

[Even if she only means like two decades that's still a long time!]

Must be exhausting.

[etrayanpcs]

Yes.

[levelshift]

You ever get a break?

[etrayanpcs]

No.

[levelshift]

Can you ask for one?
