*Kris pulled her closer, tugging the quilt up over them.*
"Sure," *she said.* "Long as you want."
*She wished there was something she could do. Short of creating NPCs to have babies.*

((*is so there with you* Who would have thought this would be so hard?))
*Brandi smiled gently and nodded, burying her face into the crook of Kris's neck.*
"Thanks, I appreciate it...."
*Her breathing slowed as she started to drift in and out of sleep.*

((We'll probably have to resort to shenanigans. Baby-snatching ones. Really fast pregnancy ones.))
*Kris fluffed the pillows and laid them down together. She probably wouldn't sleep--it was more of a habit, now, than anything else--but she could look after Brandi while she did. And think...*

*As she lay there, not sleeping, watching the rise and fall of Brandi's breathing, Kris formulated a plan. Or at least, a thought.
If she was a robot, it stood to reason (according to bad science fiction, which this just had to be) that she could interface with computers. For instance... the Internets. For all she knew, that was the source of her power here on the 'verse.
So it should be a moment's work to hack into the OOC portions of the board. Right? Just this once. For a good cause. She closed her eyes and concentrated.*

*Ruby stood outside the inn, looking up at the windows with a thoughtful frown.*
All the signs of the cosmos point here...
*She silently slipped into the Inn through an unlatched window and crept up the stairs--she had studied...been over prophecies and predictions and star-maps so much that she felt she could have found her way blindfolded. Every step she took reiterated what she heard whispered with every beat of her heart...*
This is the place. She is here.
*Pausing outside the door, Ruby laid a hand against the wood, almost able to feel the energy pouring from the room.*
"...Mighty One...I am here..." *she whispered softly aloud, knowing she would be heard by those inside.*

*Kris cocked her head, as if receiving transmission.*
"Um... What's that?"

*Ruby began to chant softly.*

"Okay, now I know I heard something."
*She got up and yanked on the door, revealing Ruby. Chanting.*
"What?"

"Holy One, your servant is here," *breathed Ruby, not even raising her eyes to Kris' face, instead bowing and pressing her forehead against the robot's toes.*

*Kris made a supremely confused face. While the prospect of Gong Li in certain positions was alluring, this wasn't really one of them.*
"I think there's been some mistake," *she said.* "I'm not any kind of holy."

"...far be it from me to question your great wisdom, but the stars have shown me the way to you. Every sign points to you. Even in speaking, in moving, your power has no bounds--it is plain as though you were afire."
*She smiled gently, bobbing her head.*
"I am the high priestess who has devoted her life to seeking and serving you, Mighty One."

*Well, it was true that she was powerful, but... Kris shook off the thought.*
"Okay, look. First thing, could you get up off the floor? What's your name, hmm?"

*Ruby rose with flawless grace, but her head remained bowed.*
"Ruby is your servant's humble name, Your Holiness," *she murmured.*

*Kris swallowed, chagrined.*
"Ruby," *she said.* "Um... won't you come in?"
*She opened the door wider and moved back, hoping the girl would follow.*
"Not that I don't know, of course, but I'm always curious about what people are thinking--what makes you think I'm, er, My Holiness?"
