TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN

[She thinks about this for a few moments, but then shakes her head.

Light movements, she does not want to upset the arrow because that hurts.]

It's too deep in.

[And that explanation... would make sense if she understood the connection between human-eating monster and and not being killed by arrows. That sounds not like a favourable connection.]

Who's these monsters? [She has no memories of her pre-incarnation, and though she doubts that she was something like that, asking can't hurt.]

[He frowns deeply, tilting his head to try and get a better look.] I don't remember very much, but they were tall, and hard to kill. Although I think they steamed when they were healing themselves so you're probably not one... [He trails off thoughtfully. He should have thought of that before. Maybe it's because from what he's remembered so far arrows don't seem to have a place there, even if all the other technology seems to be behind what he'd expect.]

You might have to cut the shaft off as close to the skin as possible and leave it, then. Unless there's someone who can cut it out for you.

There's no steam.

[At least none that she had noticed, and that should have been obvious enough around her head, right?]

It hurts. [Her expression turns into a deep frown.] And it might dig in deeper over time. [She needs to get it out. Just does not know how, and who would do that without asking questions, and the American health system worries her anyway, and then...

...and then she just wanted to see if this was a problem that someone had had before.]
