June 25, 2521. Jake's apartment. And no, Jake isn't home. Workday for him.
Ic: Alki decided to skip work. Wh bother anyway? She was never gonna get a degree, or a job. Hell if it was 500 years ago it would be so easy, and so much cheaper too. The young woman was really eager to check with Ebran on new things he would find, and help him identify them as best she could, though right now she was in a pretty low stage.
Model S really didn't want to bother with it though. he knew why. She missed her old family, and everything suddenly changed, even her backstory in a snap, and now she had to cope with it. It's been a few months, and she had adjusted well into the world.
Except not quite. She'd always be a fish out of temporal water. Always the one that nobody would quite comprehend except her own dad and maybe the biometals. Alki was laid on her bed, on her side and just stared at the clock as it clicked away. It was 12:00 PM.
"... Don't feel like lunch." She muttered, rolling away from the window and just generally being a bum. Dad would be at work, so she couldn't call him.

Good thing for Voile that Jake wasn't home, but he had memorized the man's work schedule... or tried to... and hoped that Jake wasn't there. The man seemed to have this vendetta against him simply because he had gotten close to Alki. Either way, he and Model RS were there, his hands in his pockets.
"She should be home. She usually is. Unless she pops by Ebran's..." He didn't think the two of them had anything going on; she hated Legion and Hunters' Camp was not under Legion's power.
He knocked on the door. "Alki? It's me."

Alki liked Ebran's company solely as a means to get away from Innerpeace and help him. He was a great kid, though she had nothing going on with him. She just liked the Phare siblings and how unique they all were. Unfortunately for Voile, though, Alki didn't move. She didn't even say anything either so it was up to the ninja ot rouse her.
"Alki, please get up and answer the door. It's your boyfriend and my son is probably with him." He spoke up. The young lady sat up, adjusted her tank top and then took a deep breath, closing her eyes and then pulling back her hair before walking to the front door and answering it.
With a huge smile and bright eyes, as how she usually is.
"Hey Voile! Wha'chya doing here?" She'd chuckle and then open the door wider to let him in. "You're in luck again. Dad's at work. Won't be home 'til five, of course."

It took awhile for Alki to answer the door. Hmm, was she not home? He glanced over at Model RS. "Is she not home?"
"I can sense the annoying ninja aka my father. Your girlfriend's probably there." The Biometal said in an air of someone talking about the weather.
Voile shrugged, but sure enough, the door soon opened and she smiled at him, so he smiled back at her. Seemed to be in lazy mode, somewhat?
"Heya. Thought I'd come see you, and great to know there's no threat to my life." Aka, her father, though he needed to keep an eye on the clock and potential escape routes. "How're you?"

Model S did indeed sense Model RS's presence, but he could converse with the biometal later. For now Alki and Voile can be all smiley faces at each other until Jake appears out of nowhere and gets all unhappy about this. Model S came to the conclusion that Jake didn't want to be a grandfather so early.
"RS." Simple greeting for now. Alki herself would close the door behind them and then stretched her back, feeling a little stiff laying in bed all day. She then gave an amused look to Voile.
"Yeah, it's been a bit lonely, I'll admit." She'd laugh, though and then add. "It's a lazy day for me. Didn't want to go to work, actually, since there isn't much on new findings lately. So boring..."
Model S himself was seriously bothered by his biomatch. He knew these actions, and he had no idea if Alki was genuinely happy to see Voile, or if she was just trying to put on a mask to hide her own emotions from him. or maybe it was both. Either way, S's complete lack of immediately making fun of them and staying rather silent was a dead giveaway.

Whether or not it was being a grandfather so early, Jake was jeopardizing his chances of becoming a grandfather at all if he kept his current behavior up. Either way, Voile walked inside with Model RS behind Alki and Model S, and stretched a little bit, actually putting his hood down.
"S." A simple greeting back. Voile smiled a bit at Alki as she talked about how lazy she was being, but there was something odd about it. S usually trolled them, so there had to be something wrong.
"Everything okay? I know that when you get bored like that you go and see if Ebran dug something up."
"..." RS was quiet. He recognized those signs of someone not wanting to talk.

Alki flopped onto the couch, quickly realizing that yes, Model S was definitely trying to worm Alki into telling the truth, and considering he was hovering very quietly and how he felt RS was picking up on it, he was winning this situation now. Alki glanced over to the biometal and poked him.
"Mnf..." The ninja mumbled. Alki, of course looked back and gave Voile a smile, trying to remain as upbeat as she could in the situation she was in.
"Yeah I'm fine. I mean I visited Ebran very recently so I wouldn't know if he had anything new. Plus it's a long way to Hunter's headquarters." Aka she didn't want to move from her bed. She'd lean back, quickly using the social tactic to shift conversation focus on Voile. "What about you? Found any good bounties?"
Model S knew what she was doing. He and Mimi played this game all the time, and it took ages for one of them to eventually just break and tell what was really doing on. At some point he would have to yell at Alki, after all Voile was a close friend, couldn't she trust him with anything?

Model RS would've let out a smirk had he been capable of it upon seeing Model S be poked by Alki. Still, considering that he'd kept his own struggles and issues bottled up inside of him, it was easy for him to recognize when someone was doing the exact same thing. He'd give her time for now, if only because he'd try to kill someone that spilled everything to him.
"Hm, yeah, true. Though it's not nearly as long if you Megamerge. Plus, though they won't give me an ID, it's a nice place to break away from Legion." It wasn't that far... okay, maybe a train was necessary for most people that weren't built for speed. And he had a mild criminal record, so no ID for him. Besides, it had laws on bounties and all that.
"Nothing really. Just small little things that aren't really worth mentioning. So how about anything else? Anything else interesting happen lately with you at all since we last saw each other?"
Swinging it back to Alki.

Model S wasn't really in the mood to be poked, so he did hover out of reach of the short woman, that is before he had to bite back a comment about how Voile and Alki were taking this. Which was surprisingly well. Alki was trying to keep her issues out of reach but it seemed that Voile was subtly prying.
"Yeah I have a bit of issue with that. Mostly because I like to steal things." PS. Don't look in her drawers. They are filled to the brim with pencils. Alki would arc her brow when he spoke up. Okay? Looks like she was going to have to try harder now.
Alki leaned back to look up at the ceiling,wondering what to say. Oh yeah, Kristine. And her dad. They sooo had something going on. She then let out a sneaky grin, though this time it felt way more like herself.
"Not me, but I may have a mom in law if Dad keeps working at that company." She then had to bit her lip to keep from bursting into giggles. "He totally likes Kristine."

Even Model RS was a bit surprised by about how they were taking this. Voile seemed to know how to pry into her, it looked like. Granted, another RS would probably have been able to poke all of the info out of her, but this RS didn't care to.
"Speaking of, you still have my pencils that you've stolen from me?" Don't deny it, Alki. He went through a lot of pencils just to be in your company.
And then there was the bit about Kristine, and her dad. Well, that sounded quite awkward. He snorted a bit.
"Not ready to be a father-in-law though, it looks like," he chuckled a bit. "You like her too? Moms are nice figures to have."
And he'd just discovered his was still alive, thanks to Kai of all people. Why did he have to be in that guy's debt?

Alki definitely felt a lot better, though she seemed to have that earnest smile and S felt quite relaxed. It's hard enough seeing her depressed and out of place, especially since she was only human, and Alki half expected RS to chime in. She remembered him being so nice...
"Maaaybe." Alki rolled her eyes and chewed on her lip, pulling her feet in and hugging her knees, trying to look cute to get away from having to give back the pencils. She'd shrug when he spoke up.
"I guess not." Then the subject went into mothers and Alki's mood quite visibly was torn up. Her expression, usually bright got rather sad and dark. That was a pretty sensitive subject even to her, and she just said a few words on it.
"... I wouldn't know. I never had a mom." Sure, she was born from a mom, but she never remembered her. Model S wanted to mention that he didn't have a mom either, just a cooky old scientist, but he decided to be smart and shut up.

This was the wrong RS, unfortunately for Alki. This RS hadn't learned how to care for a little human kid that sat down on his lap and slept on him, as if he was the safest thing in the world and not a psychopathic killing machine. Voile on the other hand just shook his head.
"Can I have them back at least?" He joked, not really caring about the pencils. He poked in the side as he asked that question.
"Well, he chases off any male to look at you... or is it just me?" Right, she'd mentioned never having a mother. Voile took a deep breath, not quite sure how to broach the subject. Model RS would point out he'd never had a mother figure either, or even the kooky old scientist that S had had, but decided to stay silent.
"Your hair's pretty, you know." Seriously, Voile?

Worse for Alki is that she knew it was the wrong RS, and even the wrong Jake and she couldn't help but feel completely out of place, especially since she saw her own father die. It was really bad in her situation and she still regretted ever messing with that little box. Hell, even Model Q vaguely knew who she was so she ruined HIS life, on top of thinking about how Quicksilver would have been...
"Nah." She will never relinquish her pencils! Either way Alki didn't say much in terms of male love interests.
"I dunno. He wasn't around when I got older, so you'd be the first guy he knew that I look at. He's just trying to be overprotective and I can't blame him. After all he and I weren't in our lives until I was, what five? And then..." And then he got shot, Voile was there when she yelled that out loud. The situation got a bit depressing and awkward, and just then Voile had to come up with the silly comment about her hair. She'd pull it back, though.
"Um, thanks. I wish it was red though."

Model RS didn't recognize Alki at all, even if Model Q's version of events somehow corresponded with Alki's. It was an odd thing, but not necessarily something that he would think about too much. Why should he think about it right now, anyways?
"C'mon, please?" He smirked a bit at her. Mentally, he decided to steal a few pencils from her at some point, just for payback.
"...Yeah. It's hard losing a dad." His father had been killed by Mavericks, and for what? Biometals that someone wanted to abuse, as far as he could tell. He leaned over and ruffled her hair.
"Looks nice brown."

Model S also didn't recognize Alki too, though if Model Q remembered this Alki, then something real timey wimey happened, and he would rather not want to think about that. Alki seemed to be slowly uncurling from her depression and maybe she would relax and explain to Voile her situation.
"Okay, maybe just one." She'd poke him on the nose playfully. Though if there's one thing she could relate to Voile for, it was losing parents. Family was definitely an important thing and she was only just beginning to realize that.
Here hair was already a bit messy previously, now it got fluffy and tangled when Voile ruffled her hair. She'd giggle and then wrapped her arms around him in a hug.
"Dad says so too, but I think he wanted a redhead kid. Even if I'm an accident." She then made a face. "... Ew, I can't imagine how I'd be if I was my mom's husband's kid. I'd have ugly black hair." Clearly she did not like Benjamin. Which is obvious, she kind of was around during the incident where he stabbed the crap out of everything.
