Private Finished NebulaR Meets the Neon Moth

Nebula frowned at Neon trying to turn her need to sleep into a positive. It wasn't a positive. It was a negative. He was lucky the conversation continued on. Nebula still wasn't sure how to hold back her emotions to a human level. She would've gone into a rant if not for the distraction.

"No no, I mean the VR games here. You know... on the Space Station? I heard things are super realistic and you believe you actually are your character until you wake up. I don't know how they'll work things for me since I don't have an actual brain. I heard there's an option to pay more so you're aware you're playing a game, but... I don't know. I don't want to be forced to pay more so I files don't get messed up."

Seeing the way that Neon's tail fluffed up in fear only furthered Nebula's terror as she shivered. Yes. It was safer for her to learn more about the technology here before trying it out.

"Yeah... If you ever play one of the VR games here, tell me all about it. I heard they can be expensive, but that they also have events where everyone can play for free." She forced an awkward smile, trying to bring the conversation down with her anxiety. "And it's sad that you can't speak to your friends as you are. I guess that's a downside with the Veil... I'll wish you tons of luck! Who knows. When you're playing a game and having trouble, I might be summoned to give you advice. Or I'll buy the game and play with you."

Nebula was confused as to why Neon wouldn't jump to the chance to play the VR games now, but he was an ex-human. Humans always took things slowly. Or too fast. It depends. Right now, Neon was taking things too slowly.

"Yeah, but it's still sad... Whatever. You seem okay with it, and I'm sure they're doing alright. I know humans are really good with the grieving thing." So many of them died all the time. It was hard for Nebula to comprehend getting over the death of those close to you so easily.

All of a sudden, Nebula perked up, paused, then focused back on Neon. "My alarm went off. I need to go back home and charge up or else I won't be able to do my homework. I'll text you later, okay?" As she waved, she shrunk down until she was two-foot-one, then she flew away.
