A sudden knock sounds at the door, causing Lindo to jump out of her sleep. Feeling around, she notices Tolli on her bedside table, which she quickly shoves under her mattress with a few grunts of protest. "Whos there?" She asks, hoping it wasn't Dr J.
"It's me, Kashi." He replies from outside the door, impatiently tapping the side of her door, wanting to just open the door and walk in but the alarms would go off, and he didn't feel like going through that today. "Can I come in?"
Lindo shakes her head as she just waken up, "Sure," She replies, giving a small yawn. Kashi waits for the voice recognition system to pick up that Lindo had confirmed his entering. After a moment of nothing happening, Lindo remembered how to open the door for someone, "Tolli, could you let Kashi in?" Lindo asks the box still under her mattress.
"Of course, and it's a little tight down here." Tolli replies, his voice getting slightly muffled by the extreme layer of bed above him. After a shrill beep, Kash opens the door.
"Lindo, right?" Kashi asks, stopping in the middle of the room, next to what Lindo remembered to be a table.
Lindo nods, "Yup, and Kashi, you scared me." She says, breathing out a small sigh. "Scared you? I'm already scary?" He asks, hanging his head even though Lindo couldn't see.
"No, no." Lindo stammered, not noticing Kashi's humorous tone. "I just thought it might be Doctor J or somebody like that..." She says softly so she doesn't sound stupid as Tolli makes a whiring sound, causing Lindo and Kashi to look in his direction for a second.
"Oh, Doctor Jerk? I'm definitely not him," Kashi says with a nervous laugh, seemingly very appalled at the thought of Doctor J at the moment. "But speaking of him, he asked you to come down to the lab, which I do not understand as polly was standing right there-"
With a gulp, Lindos breathing suddenly got a bit faster, "This isn't another test, right?" She interrupts, remembering the multiple days of different tests the scientists and Doctor J had performed on her the past couple of weeks.
"Nope, he just wants to talk to you." Kashi replies, a bit annoyed that Lindo had interrupted him but quickly gets over it. "Well, see you later!" He says suddenly, walking torwards the door, shutting the door behind him, leaving Lindo in the silence of the room, well, mostly silence.
Lindo walks over to the bed and lifts up the mattress, and pulls out the extremely annoyed robot from under it. "Oh good gears and whistles, why did you put me under there, you maniac?" He huffs.
Shrugging her shoulders, Lindo tosses Tolli onto the bed. "It was a reflex," she says with a small laugh at the fuming box. "Plus, it's not like you can't breathe or anything." Lindo says, pulling out a pair of black and red clothes from her drawer.
"Well, don't do that again, I almost turned on my frightened program." Tolli says, with a robotic sadness to his voice, which made Lindo want to laugh even more. "Anyways, do you want a route to the lab?" He asks, suddenly snapping back to his normal voice.
Lindo shook her head, "No, I'm starving and need something to eat first." She replies, banging into a wall on accident as she was hurrying. "And who put this stupid wall here?" She asks, rubbing her brow.
"Alrighty, setting a course to the cafeteria!" Tolli replies, not even caring that Lindo had run into a wall. "That wall was built a couple of years ago, part of the-" Tolli starts saying before a glitching sound occurs, stopping his voice.
Stopping, Lindo picks Tolli up, his glitching sounds getting softer. "Tolli, you ok?" She asks before a loud beep sounds, and he resumes talking like nothing happened.
"Yes, completely fine, sir!" He replies in his cheerful voice, causing Lindo to shake her head a bit and go towards the door. "Now let's go to the cafeteria." He says as Lindo walks out into the hallway, starting on her long walk.
After a long walk, Tolli endlessly rambled on about how robots are a special thing and shouldn't be abused. They finally made it to the cafeteria, which Lindo could hear was not very busy. Sitting down at one of the tables, a robot almost instantly comes next to the table as usual, laying a plate of food in front of Lindo.
"Lindo! What are you doing here?" She suddenly hears from across the room, Kashi walks towards her holding his plate, afraid that the robots may come and take it away. "This isn't the lab, unless they are switching the cafeteria and lab, which I don't think they are."
With a sigh, Lindo stands up. "I'm hungry and wanted to get something to eat." She replies, feeling her plate, smiling that there was some sort of burger on her plate, something she could eat on the way to the lab. "What are you doing here?" She asks objectively.
"Playing my ukulele." He says sarcastically, biting down on his burger with a crunch that was not natural for burgers. "I'm eating my Dorito burger, don't judge." He quickly says, turning to go sit down.
Lindo shakes her head at Kashi in a comedic way before picking up Tolli. "Ok Kashi, I'm going now!" She yells, walking torwards the exit of the cafeteria, gaining a happy grunt from Kashi as he sits back down to enjoy his food. "Now Tolli, take me to the lab."
"Alrighty, sir, turn left in fifteen steps." Tolli replies as Lindo does what he says, as they enter the room where the bustling of people could be heard all around them. Moving off to different places inside the facility. "And I've got to say, if I could eat, I would definitely try a torido burger."
Sighing yet again, Lindo pushes open the doors to the big metal door. "Tolli, it's Dorito, not torido." She says with a small chuckle as the sudden chilling cold could be felt on her skin.
Suddenly, as if the door had a life of its own, it shut behind her, causing her to gasp in suprise. "Ah welcome Lindo." Dr J says, in a more happy voice then usual. Suddenly a force against her neck made Lindo think that she was getting inserted with more strange liquids before a voice cries out.
"Lindo, I can see!" Cinder yells out, pulling Lindo into a hug, catching her off gaurd almost knocking her over. "You look just like I imagined." She says, with a smile.
Hugging her back, Lindo smiles as well, happy for her friend she had only met a couple times. "I'm so happy for you Cinder!" She says, feeling a slight pang of jealousy that she couldn't see. Suddenly a few more people walked in and started congratulating Cinder.
"Yay I'm so happy!" Someone said, who Lindo could recognize as Polly, pulling Cinder into a hug as well. "Congrats Cinder!" Another one said, a boy who Lindo couldn't recognize.
"Also Lindo, where is Kash?" The boy says, not thinking it might be weird that he knows Lindos name even though they had never talked. Suddenly realizing he had never introduced himself, by the way that Lindo was looking at him he shakes her hand. "My names Ryan."
Lindo suddenly feeling a bit better knowing who he was, shakes his hand back. "Kashi had to stop by the cafeteria to play a ukulele or something." She replies, with a small laugh.
"Wait he gets seconds?! That's not fair-" He says, with a small comedic growl to his voice ready to run to the dining hall and tackle Kashi head on. Suddenly Dr J speaks up.
"You didn't know today was seconds day?" He says with a sigh knowing that Ryan never looked at the upcoming schedule. "You need to look at your schedule more." He finishes, walking out of the room in a steady rhythm of steps.
Ryan shakes his head as the group starts walking torwards the food hall led by Ryan. After a short walk they walk into the slightly noisy cafeteria as Ryan stops Kashi and runs toward him.
"You never told me?" Ryan says, as Kashi starts to laugh at him missing out on the food. "Very rude, Mr Kashi sir." He says with a sigh, sitting down as a robot comes by with more food for the group.
They all sit down at the table, Lindo next to Cinder who couldn't stop jumping up and down, there head turning every wich way, looking at all the colors of the room, as Lindo took a bite of her burger.
