We would have almost done so if I didn't manage to drag Minako into the lakeside cabin in time. But it's still not particularly well protected from the cold, so...

but she'll sit down besides him before leaning down to slowly gather snow into a pile. ]
[ it's interesting, isn't it? how despite all the german affectations she was programmed with, it's really still russia... or rather, the neo soviet union that's actually her origin. ]
It isn't using the same name anymore, but... more or less, yes.
[ right, because she's from a reality where organic beings are incapable of surviving.
between this being another country and presumably quite ahead of him in years, he finds himself curious to better understand the mechanical world from which 45 hails. ]
[ well, they can, they just need to be wearing appropriate protection and stick in the less-irradiated zones.
it's just that dropping in on a whim probably will not send them to those zones, if only because dolls were made specifically to function where humans couldn't safely go.
anyway this has been your fun fact of 45 being made of radiation resistant materials. ]
That depends very much on where you go to. Green zone cities tend to be walled off, prosperous, clean. You can almost pretend that a war hadn't ruined much of the earth only a decade ago. They are very choosy and selective as to who from outside might be let in, however.
Yellow zone cities and settlements ... they vary more. There's less inherent structure, less strict regulation. Governments don't pay as much attention to them. They get less in the way of resources.
That city in the memory I spoke of- that was a yellow zone city.
he can't imagine a world so ruined that cities would have to be walled off that dramatically. just how much did people ruin the earth? is that the reality they're all headed toward, or just the one? ]
Is that right? And the same goes for the rest of the world?
It's how regions are classified in the Pan-European and Neo Soviet Unions. I couldn't say much about how the rest of the world looks, or how they've specifically chosen to handle the circumstances.
[ but it's quite the inhospitable world for a human to be in. picturesque abandoned cities from before, overgrown with plant life, are quite the common sight. what remains of the global population has all either clustered into the livable green zones, or settled for carefully scraping out a living in the yellow zones. ]
What about them? Just because they're other dolls doesn't mean I have anything to do with them. On the contrary- as far as the records show, I don't exist.

Are you okay?
