[ 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.

[ 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.

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.
As far as anyone is concerned, I should have died to years ago in the incident that killed everyone else I knew at the time. They called it an accident.
Of course I am. But what was I supposed to do? Run?
[ run, and for what? self-preservation, at the cost of... what? ]
If I want answers, I'm going to have to put myself at risk at some point. And just because they can't trace or track me doesn't mean I can't physically be affected in combat.
[ do or die—that's true, particularly in a place like this. there's nothing he can say to that, so he falls silent, watching her build the snowman instead. he can't help feeling worried about tomorrow, but seeing her like this eases his nerves just a bit for now. ]
