The only thing that grates on Techno worse than when people notice how obviously he resembles Forte, is when it dawns on them he resembles both Forte and Mega. He isn't really sure how to feel about the person responsible being dead, as now he'll never get to have that nice loud 'what the hell were you thinking' talk he'd sometimes fantasized about.

But for now the Twins skirt around that topic and onto one of pets, as they follow Zero towards X's room.

"I still think we should get a puppy."

"We live in a treehouse, Middy. Canines can't climb."

If X wasn't here or if he was still sleeping, Forte would tell Zero to stop saying that, if just long enough for him to get the game's dialog out of his head. But he can't without possibly raising questions.

And on that thought, he tries to nonchalantly scoop up the games they left scattered and get them back in the box without any of the covers being seen as he talks. "Well how long would it take to gather the food and label it the way we want? Couldn't you sleep until all that's done? Even if it's just a nap's worth."

X nods. "I'll send a message to Roll. She could organize that better than I could, anyway..." It only takes a second to take care of that, and pick the blanket back up off the couch to try to go back to bed. "You promise you'll wake me..?"

"I'm tempted to say 'no'," says Zero, "but then I'd be screwed next time I need repairs."

"You'll get woken up just go to sleep already."

X nods and then goes to bed. Techno and Middy leave the VR set there, but gather the rest of their things to leave the room and let X sleep.

Zero starts to head out too, and wonders how long the preparations will take... and what to do until then. He pauses, and scoops up the box of games and the one he was playing that's still paused. "We should go somewhere and finish this up while we wait."
