68 stood on the roof, volunteering for patrol duty again, watching the quiet horizon. The blood red sun peeked out of the desolate clouds, a rarity in this world. He expelled some stuttered clicks, much like sighs of content.
It was a solitary job, but he enjoyed it. It was the few moments of quiet he was able to enjoy, since inside the warehouse there was always stitch punks bustling about and outside on supply runs, there was always the danger of a mechanical beast snatching you up. The newest stitch punk, 42, was the most recent proof of that. He smiled. He had helped her that day she came, torn up and in bad shape. Fortunately, she recovered nicely. She was nice, hopefully they could be friends.
More and more are being found with each passing day, he thought happily, leaning on his blade. His mind wandered as he stood there, catching small glimpses of the sun.

42 wandered about the bustling Shelter, searching for a quiet place to sit. She ended up wandering for hours until she found herself on the roof, her eyes resting on 68's back. She smiled and walked over to the doll that had helped her on her first day. "Hey, 68!"

Startled, 68 turned, but relaxed when he saw 42. He clicked and chirped in greeting, holding up a hand. He frowned a bit. Again, he was reminded of the limitations of being mute, knowing that this conversation was going to be one-sided, verbally at least. He was glad for the company. smiled and pointed at the sun, which happened to peek out of the clouds.

42 smiled. 'He's pointing to the Sun,' sh thought. 'I wonder what he means.' She gave him a question look. 'What about the Sun?'

68 looked at her, then the sun. What about the sun... Maybe this is why he preferred to take patrol duty so often. He didn't have to try and make/continue conversations when he was alone. But... he loved company, both a blessing and a curse in his state.
The sun hid again, disappearing behind the desolate clouds. He sighed then smiled at 42, spreading his arms out. Besides, the sun came out so rarely, it was strange that it came out so much today. I can't even say how pretty it is... He rubbed his throat, considering for the umpteenth time that he should let 19 look at his voice box. He shuddered.

"Your arms...? Oh! You're huggig the Sun? You like the Sun?" 42 looked at 68 happily. "I think the Sun is very beautiful and powerful."

68 laughed, or at least, the way a mute machine can laugh. She got the idea at least, he thought, nodding at her. He suddenly looked up, checking the general time.
Hup, almost time to check up on- he looked at 42, a wondering look on his face. He twittered and chirped, thinking then chirped at the female in a questioning tone. He pointed out into the city.

42 looked puzzled. 'What about the city? Maybe...' "Where I was from? Or what happened? hold up one finger for where I was from, two for what happened, three for something else, okay?"

68 held up three fingers, chirping and clicking in excitement. He pointed at her, then himself and back at the city. Hopefully, she'll understand that I want to show her something. Maybe she can help...
(Pfft. Mute characters are hard to rp with XD)

68 frantically pointed to 42, then himself, and then into the Forbidden Zone. "Me, you, city? You mean go down there? Are you sure that's okay?"

He nodded, making an honor's mark with his hands. He knew a safe way to get to where he wanted to go, that was practically underground. The only time where they would be exposed was when they had actually enter.
He looked at her questioning, wondering if she'll go with him or not.

68 nodded, heading to the elevator and waiting for a response.

"Okay then, lets go!" 42 quickly followed after 68, who looked like he was about to burst with exitement.

Chirping with excitement, 68 lead 42 through the warehouse, careful not to draw any attention to themselves. He took her to an abandoned area of the warehouse and opened a hatch door, motioning for 42 to jump in.
