Who: Rhys and you!
When: D48-D49
Where: Various Locations
What: It's time for Rhys to make himself at home (or more likely whine that he's not the boss)
Warnings: Probably low but I'll update if anything happens
[day 48 - all around the carnival grounds - what have i gotten myself into?]
Rhys doesn't regret the decision. He doesn't regret taking a deal from some shady Ringmaster (and he hates that he'd never thought of that as a nickname for himself) to escape August and Vasquez and a bunch of killer robots that would have surely ended his life.
What he does regret is leaving Vaughn behind. Fiona and Sasha less so. But, there's still a sliver of sadness that he's here and they're not. Hopefully, whenever this whole thing ends, he'll go back and they'll forgive him.
(Though he seriously doubts that. They'll either be dead or they'll kill him.)
For the first little while, he wanders. He gets his shoes dusty (a development that makes him frown) and his hair wind blown but what else is there to do but figure things out? His lodgings, a trailer in a park surrounded by similar metallic bumps, isn't luxurious but it's not a hole in the ground.
He'll take it. He'll whine about it later.
[day 49 - anywhere that needs cleaning up around the carnival - where's a loader bot when you need one?]
Rhys regrets the decision.
As soon as he reports for work and someone slaps a mop into his hand, he regrets the decision. Janitor. A janitor again. Somewhere, Vasquez is probably laughing his ass off. The only good thing, Rhys guesses, is that whoever's in charge isn't Vasquez and won't be making him run all over the place to do menial things.
He still has to clean though and the grimace on his face as he starts mopping a dirty floor is evidence of what he thinks about that. But, he tells himself it won't be for very long. He tells himself that time will pass quickly.
He tells himself that he can drown himself in his mop bucket if it gets too bad.
Mopping isn't a hard think to do but he still mops over various people's shoes instead of telling them to move and he steps all over his own freshly cleaned floors more than once.
The third time he does that, he curses loudly and then looks around, hoping no one's heard that. He hasn't memorized all the rules but he's pretty sure cursing on the job is frowned upon.

Jack's probably gotten himself so entwined with his other modifications that if tried to take him out, he'd have to take out the ECHO eye and everything else attached and putting it in had fucking hurt. He was not going through that again.
"Just leave him alone and he'll leave us alone." Hopefully.

If anything, 9S is the one most likely to go poking around in Rhys' head, not other people in the Carnival. At least, that's what he thinks.
But Rhys' comments nets him a small frown, hidden behind the visor covering 9S' eyes.
"Hold on... You don't want him in there?"
9S could probably destroy Jack from within the hacking space if Rhys wanted to be rid of him, but given that Jack used to be a human, 9S doesn't feel much inclination to do so, even if Rhys wanted him to. It would be another matter if it were a machine's AI -- they weren't really people to begin with -- or another android. But an AI generated directly from the mind of a human? That's totally different.

On occasion. When he wants to and he provides Rhys with insight that he might not have seen on his own. So, it's a situation where the answer to 9S' question changes on the daily. Right now, he kind of wants Jack to stick around especially in a new place. Jack has more world experience than he does so Rhys is counting on him to help.
"He's fine where he is," Rhys eventually says. "He's not hurting me or anything. Just noisy sometimes."

9S isn't convinced. But he's not going to push the point. Shifting awkwardly, 9S adds, "I, uh. Told him to tell you to tell me if he wants someone to talk to. It seems kinda lonely in there."

Rhys is pretty sure that Jack's not going to take him up on that but it's nice anyway. Giving Jack a friend might be a bad idea but maybe it'll settle him down or something. Rhys doesn't know. He's new to this whole artificial intelligence living within him sort of thing.
"I'll let you know if he needs a friend," Rhys says, nodding. "Thanks for the offer. And for not making it weird when you were in there."
no subject
But he smiles, saluting with his left hand over where his heart would be, if he had one.
"And if you need any assistance, don't hesitate to call on me."
