A Most Important Inquiry

[solitarynote]

WHO: Sunny, Soo Won, and YOU! (OTA)
WHAT: Soo Won doesn’t know what a battery is. Sunny tried, but he needs some help. That’s where you come in!
WHERE: Network (let’s be honest though - Sunny doesn’t leave the Oasis)
WHEN: post-Crossing Meeting, pre-Quests kicking off
WARNINGS Talk of batteries, electricity, relevant CWs (if any) will be in subject headings ^^

## The Crossing Meeting had barely ended when a message crossed everyone’s devices.

Sunny had gotten himself into a bit of a quandary and… he needed help. He hated asking for help, but this was important. Possible the most importantthing he had asked so far.

A single message cuts across the screen/notebook page (take your pick):

What’s a battery? Help. ##

What do you need a battery for, Sunny-kun?

[blindluck]

Batteries are useful to have around for many reasons, Naegi-sama!

[Sunny could certainly agree with Nagito - batteries were useful to have around. Normally, when you needed one, that was when you couldn’t find it.]

I’m not the one who needs a battery. Soo Won was asking about them. I tried to explain but…

[Sunny sometimes couldn’t differentiate between what he knew and what he thought he knew. It was a problem.]

[cloversandcranes]

Soo Won-san? What does he need them for? Does he have a electronic that has run out of power or something?

Even asking for someone else is a big step Sunny-kun. You did great.

[Sunny couldn’t help the small spark of… happiness? Was that it? Something that settled into his chest at the praise.]

Thanks…

It’s not that he needs a battery… more… he doesn’t know what it is. Or what electronics are, I think.

I… wanted to help…

My apologies for the confusion. Sunny was kind enough to indulge my curiosity.

Thank you again Sunny. It's been quite fascinating.

[cloversandcranes]

I see! Well I'm glad Sunny-kun's been helping you out! Feel free to ask us anything if you have other questions Soo Won-san!]

[protectorofkouka]

I appreciate that. It sounds like I have a lot to learn.

[cloversandcranes]

The first step to learning something is asking questions so you're doing well!

And Sunny-kun, good job!

Both of you are doing great.

[The praise has Sunny unsure of how to answer. Compliments were so hard…

So Makoto gets a drawing of a thumbs up with sparkles!]

[protectorofkouka]

[Sunny's drawing is cute. Sadly Soo Won isn't an artist like Sunny but he tries his best and adds a stick figure bowing to thank Makoto as well.]
