//I did my best to be on, But it was really bad

Halle stood up from her perch on the roof and jumped down into the black market, beginning to pace.

(yeah the entire site seemed to crash) The robot flinched as she heard someone hop off the roof, her one good audial managing to catch the sound. Just have to make it to the warehouses, I can lose them there.

She glanced around and saw Troja, immediately curious. “Wait… are you a robot?”

The robot whipped around, eyes wide. She didn't even bother saying anything, she just bolted, clutching her half-broken arm to keep it from being damaged further

“Wait, come back!” She shouted, following.

Troja kept running, the scenery of the market slowly turning from dingy half-set shops to increasingly massive warehouses. She tried to turn a few corners in order to lose Halle

Halle watched her run, then took a shortcut to hopefully emerge in front of her.

Troja rounded a corner right in front of her warehouse, but ended up running directly into Halle. She fell down, hissing a little as her ruined ankle turned the wrong way. Her eyes widened and she had to blink a few times to reset her eyes

“Wait, don’t run again! I just wanted to ask you some questions and stuff.”

"Sure you do!" She tried to back up but ended up against the wall of the warehouse. Then she got an idea. She reached up and hit a hidden panel on the warehouse door, and the large front door burst open to reveal what looked like an enormous, half-finished mechanical guard dog. It whipped its head around for a moment, its lack of eyes making it take a moment to find them

“Woah there,” Halle said, throwing up her hands. Sparks started to dance across her fingers.

The robotic guard let out a glitch-laden bark, jumping around excitedly. Its back legs lacked armor plating, but its front legs ended in massive claws. It took one more hop before a wire in its chest snapped, and its lights flickered out while it crashed to the ground in a heap. If Troja could sweat, she would be. She tried to get up but her ankle kept slipping out from under her

//Sorry I started watching YouTube and forgot rp exitedddd

“Here,” Halle said, slowly stepping forward. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just thought all robots were in the capital and got confused.”

(it's cool lol) Troja squinted at her. "How do I know you're not here to rob me? I'm not exactly a nobody around the market."

“I am,” she said. “I know the back alleys and roads, but not the people. Besides, I’m not exactly needy.”

"Sure you are. Everyone and their mother around here wants a piece of what's left of Circuit," she said, trying and failing to use the fallen guard dog's claw to pull herself up

“Not really. I have everything I need for most mechanical creations,” she said, continuing forward.

The robot sighed a little. "If you aren't here to take my things you could at least help me up."

“Yeah, sure,” she said, offering a hand.

Troja pulled herself to her feet, wincing at her now further damaged ankle. "Well, thank you for that but I have a massive broken guard dog I have to get back into the warehouse. She made to disappear into the warehouse, but fumbled a little on her ankle

“Do you need something? I have spare parts.”
