'My name? Oh... ohhh! It's my fault, I'm supposed to introduce myself... Really sorry, it's Aurora... But, I'd really prefer if you just call me Aura instead..." Suddenly there was a beeping noise, and Aura sighed.
"Hold on..." She clicked a little communicater on her wrist. "What is it Vin? Can't you see I'm busy?!"
"Sorry... Ma'am... But, uhh, where's the mixin bowls?"

"Nice to meet you, Aura!" When the comunicator beeped, Berry grew interested. "Your boyfriend?" She asked, looking at it though one of the optical sensors behind Aura. The ferrest were all starting to come back from their meal break, and some were checking Aura out. One of the younger ones attempted to climb into Berry's lap, but ended up falling though the hologram.

"Ohh, no... He's my cousin..."
Aura smiled, and shook her head. "Hey, Vin, move over I wanna talk to Aura!"
"Cyel! Just because she's your queen, and your her knight doesn't mean you get to- *click* ..."
Aura's expression went blank and she stared at the screen, which displayed nothing but static, before the static had random colors from the bad signal... But, looks like there were problems back home.
"Agh, they'll destroy the mansion by the time I get back..."

"Do you need to leave?" Berry asked, trying to shoo the ferret from out of her holo. "I can understand if you do. Maybe you could bring your cousin and...knight? I would very much enjoy meeting them." She gave a smile, showing that it was deffinately okay. "Like I said, I haven't seen any softshells in ages, so it'd be a nice change to talk with a few for a while."

"Ohhh, I don't have to go... Not yet, probably in the next few minutes... So I won't be able to play..." But she paused at the thought of bringing Vin here, and Cyel... No, definately not a good idea.
"I couldn't, my cousin flies this special plane... and it's really hard to control, I'm afriad that he'd crash it into the building..."

"Oh. That would be a problem if he crashed." The part about the plane caught Berry's attention. "Did your cousin design the plane?" She inquired. She knew about the ice age going on outside, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to switch to a more moblie "body," but maybe after the ice age... The ferret was refusing to leave, and instead began jumping around, making parts of the holo fuzzy. (Aura can notice it going on. I'm kinda cusious as to what her reaction will be)

Aura blinked. "Yeah he did..." She blinked again and raised a brow. "Your a hologram?! ... COOOL! AREYOUHOOKEDUPTOACOMPUTERTOO? CANISEE?CANITOUCHIT,ORMAYBEJUSTPRESSAFEWBUTTONS?!" She asked in a loud voice, talking reallly really fast. Are you hooked up to computer too? Can I see? Can I touch it or maybe just press a few buttons?!

"Ahh!" This made the image disappear alltogether, leaving behind a confused ferret. "And to answer your questions," The voice came from some of the speakers in the room. "Yes and no to the hooked up part, I'd rather you not see, and the closest you can come to toutching is the column in front of you." An image of Berry's face appeared on the column. "I'm a shellperson, though I don't think anyone these days has really heard of us. Put basically, we're people inside 'shells' who function similar to a computer. When I told you that it would hurt if the building were destroyed, I really ment it. This building is my body now. And my name, XS-100-SS, is the name given to me when I first became the building. XS is for the pairing, myself and the softshell I work with. There's an X because I cuttently don't have a partner, and S for my name Strawberry. The 100 means that I'm part of the first one hundred shellpeople, and SS means Skyscraper."

"Awwwwwwwwwwww.... Okkkaayyy..." Aura said sadly, sighing and lowering your head. "Heey, do you have to be here? I'm great with advanced systems, maybe I could transfer you and your ferret family to another building?!" Aura asked, taking a step or two closer and jumping up once.
"Doesn't that sound like a good idea? Huuuuh?"

The image blinked. "Actually, that's why I was asking about the plane. I've been this building for far too long. I'd like to be a bit more...mobile. Though, the only problem is that I can't be moved now. The outside temperatures are far too cold, and whatever I'm being moved to has to be set up to accomodate a shellperson. If you look at blueprints of the building, you'll see that there are several tanks. Those hold all the nutrients that I need. There's also the rest of the life-support system. Disconnected from all that, I'd only last a few days."

"Heheh, the plane's pretty warm! And that'd be easy, me Vin and Cyel, could set some systems up for you! We'd just need to be able to examine the designs and blueprints!" She smiled.
"It might take awhile through... We're really busy..."

"Blueprints I can get to you, and there's no rush. I'm gonna be about 90 in a few years, so time doesn't matter too much." There was a humming noise, and a printer in a small office off to the side began humming as it slowly warmed up. "I'll also need to prep the family for the move. The blueprints should be done printing, though I appologise for not being able to get them to you. All my servos shorted out when the cold hit."

"Heh, oh, don't worry... We could just scan the building from outside..." Her communicater beeped again and she clicked it, yelling before she shut it off. "THE MIXING BOWLS ARE IN WHITE CUPBOARD, STOP CALLING ME!" She sighed, slowly breathing in and out.
"Sorry..."

"It's alright." Berry replied, giggling. "I kinda know what that's like. A lot of the people who worked here would end up talking with their spouces over the phone and arguing about stuff like that." One of the older ferrets bounded up with some papers. "Oh! Look at that. Ziggy's gotten them for you. I didn't even see him leave...."

"Oh, thank you Ziggy!" She reached down and took them slowly, patting the ferret on the head. "I guess I'd better be going then, are there any windows here?" She glanced around, she hadn't really be paying attention, and didn't care about how high this floor was. "I can easily close it from the outside... soo..."
