"Suomi" for this little one, yeah? +From Finland? What an old model. ()???||:Speaking of, isn't this neural configuration a bit too simple? +It's hardly different from the Cyclops models in use by the Military. They went to such lengths to make her so cute, so why is there no personality? ()???||:Well... it's a Finnish gun. ()||:... ()???||:Here. ()||:... ()||<黑屏1>:... ()||BGM_Hello80 <黑屏2>:Griffin Base, Club Room. ()||AVG_20Winter_Bar_Cheering:Sounds reminiscent of the howling of a wild beast and the cacophony of heavy machinery emits from the recreational area. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:...Huh? What's going on over here? +I'm going to go deaf. ()||:Papasha entered the room after returning from a mission and is met with a tremor-inducing soundwave. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:Hey, could you turn that off? KP31(0)Suomi||:Huh? Ah, sorry, I thought I was alone here. ()||:In response to Papasha, another Doll responds politely from the innermost part of the lounge. +At least, that was how it started. KP31(0)Suomi||BGM_Empty:...Soviet bear? ()||:Upon discerning the complainant's identity, she retracts her hand above the off switch. +The formerly reasonable Suomi places herself firmly back in her seat, eliciting a baffled expression from Papasha. KP31(0)Suomi||BGM_Danger:This is a public space; I am free to listen to what I want. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:...Under the prerequisite that this freedom does not infringe on that of others. +Didn't I tell you already? Your heavy metal is just grim noise to everyone else. KP31(0)Suomi||:I suppose it isn't your fault you fail to appreciate music in finer measures. +After all, it's not like a primate not even Siberia could tame would understand art. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:...I get it, so you're just out to make trouble for me, right? KP31(0)Suomi||:How egotistical, you think I'm giving you special treatment? PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:That's how it's been all along! I've been thinking that since way before, but how you reacted then settles it. +You're just out to get me! ()||:The arguing of the two gradually gathers the nearby Dolls, but for them this was not an uncommon sight. +Suomi was not in good accord with the "Soviet" Dolls, and would burst into arguments with them whenever an encounter occurred. +But until now, both sides have stayed within their boundaries and did not cause any big incidents, so everyone turned a blind eye. +However, the tensions between the two today seems be culminating towards something irresolvable. KP31(0)Suomi||:If I say I'm not, then I'm not. If everyone in the world was as self-absorbed as you Soviet animals... +Then maybe it'd be better to just let it all burn. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:Self-absorbed? I'm self-absorbed? There's something wrong with your head! +If you're looking for trouble, then give it to me straight! Coward! KP31(0)Suomi||:...Alright, if that's what you want. +I hate you, and all you Soviet creatures. Get out of my sight! ()||:Papasha shudders in anger, her whole body trembling. PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||:You bastard! KP31(0)Suomi||:—! ()||:The Dolls originally avoiding the eye of the storm suddenly feel a sense of dread as they see Papasha's reaction. RFB(0)RFB||:Hey... are we still sticking around? This doesn't look like it's going anywhere good. MDR(0)MDR||:Aren't they always like this? +It'll be fine... We're just onlookers anyway.+...+...Crap! They're fighting! +Quick, pull them apart! KP31(0)Suomi||:What are you doing? Get away from me, disgusting bear. +Let go of me! PPsh41MOD(0)Papasha||<黑屏1>:You've gone too far! ()||BGM_Empty<黑屏2>9:... ()||<黑屏1>:... ()||<黑屏2>8:Griffin Base, Command Center. NPC-Kalin(3)Kalina||BGM_Hello:I've put them both into confinement. +It got too out of hand this time, and Suomi even went into maintenance. ()Commander||:Yeah... Okay, I understand. ()||:The Commander picks up the incident report on their desk, furrowing their brow. ()Commander||:I never thought it was a big deal, so I didn't see it as too important. +But looking at it now, isn't Suomi a little too hostile towards the Soviet Dolls? NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:I never imagined it would have developed like this. Isn't this strange though, Commander? +Such hostility towards Soviet Dolls... Isn't Suomi a product of IOP too? Even if she is imprinted with a Finnish gun. ()Commander||:...I'm not sure either. +Could there be anything related in her previous experiences? NPC-Kalin(2)Kalina||:Negative. ()||:The Commander pauses in thought. ()Commander||:I see... but this problem needs to be solved. +Don't instigate Suomi for now, and let her settle in base for a while. +Since she is from IOP, maybe Persica will know something. +I'll go have a talk with her. NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:What about Papasha? ()Commander||:I'll leave Papasha with you. +She didn't mean it either; it's just that she doesn't have a good idea of her own capabilities yet. +Have a talk with her, and make sure she doesn't leave any reservations behind. NPC-Kalin(1)Kalina||<黑屏1>:Understood! ()|||BGM_Empty<黑屏2>9:... ()||<黑屏1>:... ()||BGM_Hello<黑屏2>80:Griffin Base, Cafe. ()||:Suomi sits by herself in a corner, absent-mindedly stirring the coffee in front of her. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Hey! ()||:While she idles, an uninvited guest sits herself down in front of her. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Mind if I sit here? KP31(0)Suomi||:...People don't usually ask that after sitting down. +If you want to sit here, I'll leave. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Don't be like that. +I'm not here to look for trouble, Suomi. +I just want to have a chat. KP31(0)Suomi||:I have nothing to talk about with a Soviet bear. +If you're just here to mock me, save yourself the trouble. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Even if I'm here at the behest of the Commander? KP31(0)Suomi||:... ()||:Suomi who had just stood up looks at Mosin-Nagant, pauses briefly, and returns to her seat. KP31(0)Suomi||:...Spit it out. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Don't be so touchy. I haven't done anything to tick you off, have I? KP31(0)Suomi||:You're all the same to me. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:I say... It's always Soviet this, Soviet that with you. +I get it if no one else has brought it up, but I need to say something. +You yourself are from IOP, and whether it's the people who designed you or put you together... +Even the people working in Griffin now—the majority are from the Union. +You're included, of course, so by that logic, you're a Soviet bear too! KP31(0)Suomi||:... +...As if. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:Am I wrong? KP31(0)Suomi||:... ()||:Suomi opens her mouth, intending to make some sort of rebuke, but found no words. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:It's not like I insist on being some promoter of the cause. +The arguments between you and Papasha aren't a recent development... +Though the Commander wanted me to ask after why you resent us so much. ()||:Mosin Nagant stares at Suomi, inevitably shaking her head. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:But with how it looks, it doesn't seem like you know either. KP31(0)Suomi||:...Don't presume you know me. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:I don't mean anything I haven't said. If this is just between you and Papasha, then I'm happy to help out. +But if this encompasses every single model here related to the Soviets, then I'll need some answers. Otherwise, not even the Commander will be able to do anything. ()||:Suomi takes a deep breath, rising from her seat. KP31(0)Suomi||:None of your business. +If you don't understand me, then don't even start this crap with me! ()||:Leaving that, Suomi leaves the table indignantly. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:(Sigh) ...No good. ()||:Mosin-Nagant smiles bitterly, taking the cup of coffee Suomi left behind in her hands—she sat here for so long, yet took nary a sip. M1891Mod(0)Mosin-Nagant||:What a waste... ()||<黑屏1>:...
