(Aww, poor Jurgen. xD I almost feel sorry for him now...almost.)
Jurgen seemed pretty disappointed and confused now. Nothing she could do about that. So she decided she wasn't going to worry about it either. "I wonder if that's normal though, a human and an android as couple...heh." She thought to herself as she focused her eyes on the TV again. Some show about how tough the job of a junkyard scavenger was. "After so many years they still show reality TV..." She spoke to herself. Though that brought about a weird thought. "Wait...so many years? But...I was only activ-- No wait...I was activated a previous time. So...my brain chip was recycled? Or maybe data downloaded into a new brain chip? Huh...that's odd." She thought to herself, noticing that she seemed to find more and more 'odd' things about herself, or things that had to do with her.
"Anyway, there was some commercial on the TV a minute ago. Something about an arena tournament. How about we get tickets and watch how the big guys fight? Could get me some valuable data for the future, right?" Well, she planned on going with or without him. Apart from a certain set of laws that were programmed into her, like staying with her owner and never intentionally harming him, she did have free will programmed into her as well. But going without even asking him sounded like it would ruin the mood between them a little.

Bio
I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

Commercials came on. The first one was immediately about the next professional arena fight that would be held. Eve decided to pay attention to it as in the future she might have to deal with this kind of thing as well. Though at the same time she noticed that Jurgen also had his focus divided. Between his food and her, to be exact. The commercial gave a date. 2 days from now the fight would be held. Eve took note of that, deciding that it could be a good idea to buy tickets for that fight.
But then she turned her attention to Jurgen. "So~ I noticed you took quite some interest in my clothing choice." She started, a playful grin on her lips. "Well, you are a man after all right? And this body is very realistic, right?" She reached up, tugging on the shirt's collar to pull it down. "Wanna take a peek?" She pulled her shirt a little further down, but then pulled it all the way back up again. "Made you look~" She laughed, you'll have to work for it if you want to see me naked~" She was teasing, but at the same time also kind of serious. It wasn't like she was a prude or anything. And if she was basically 'stuck' to him, whether she liked it or not, why not find a way to like it? Which was actually going quite well so far. She got to fight, had a place to stay, and even got a cut, albeit small, from the money she earned him. Plus Jurgen was a nice guy so far. So life looked to be quite good for the near future.

(And here comes a sexy surprise for Jurgen! :P)
By the case was fine with Eve. And with the money she could make, price wouldn't be a problem either. She saw it as a stroke of luck that she was made for combat, as it seemed like one of the few ways you could become wealthy in a relatively easy way. She definitely preferred this over store work or junkyard scavenging. Even bookkeeping. There were probably other ways to get plenty of money too, but she didn't know about those yet, and didn't really care either.
Once they were back at the apartment Eve asked Jurgen where she should put the clothes. Then she put everything away apart from one thing. The shirt that was several sizes too large for her. Jurgen was still in line of sight as she started to undress. First her tank top. She had her back turned to him, but it was clear that even beneath the clothes everything had been made as realistic as possible. She put the baggy shirt on, it reaching about halfway between her hips and knees. Then the shoes and pants also came off, leaving her in just the shirt, panties, and socks.
Eve grabbed her cigarettes and headed to the couch and sat on one side, leaning backwards as much as possible. The cigarettes and lighter were put on the table for now. "Ahh, android or not, wearing just this while relaxing feels much better~" She thought out loud, now kind of wishing she could just smoke inside. Obviously wearing barely anything would be inappropriate when outside. But now that they had everything done for today, she wanted to relax to the fullest.

(Well, yes and no. They're twinkie brand cornflakes. As in, the company making twinkies survived for all these years somehow , and now 'expanded' to also making twinkie flavoured cornflakes or something. :P Imagine )
"Didn't see him? He was pretty obvious, the way he was following us for the last 30 seconds or so, and was constantly eyeing your cart." She replied, not realizing that she had only seen the guy because of her expert eyes when it came to spotting danger or something alike.
At the apartment Eve just sat down after having had a few bites, and having put the opened box away with the other two. After a while he called her again, as now it was time to go shopping for some extra clothes for her. The question he asked was a difficult one though. "Hmm...what I like...well, what I'm wearing now is pretty comfortable, but I guess I'd have to see some different styles first." She mused. "So going to a few stores and seeing what they have standing in their display window would be a good start."
The way back to the stores was pretty much uneventful. A fight was going on between 3 guys, but that was none of their business in the end. Once at the stores again the two visited 3 different stores before Eve decided that she had found the right one to buy her clothes at. It was actually one of the cheaper stores as well. This one sold pretty standard Junkyard wear. Synthesized leather clothes, baggy clothes, military-looking designs, things like that. Eve was quick to head to the section that had the military-looking clothes. For some reason she found those the most appealing, so she wanted at least one set. After that she went to the leather section to grab a leather jacket. And then she finally headed to the 'misc' section that held baggy clothes and just other things they had managed to get their hands on.
After about half an hour of browsing Eve found Jurgen again. She now had 3 sets of clothes. Two tank tops, a very baggy shirt that would probably easily slip over her shoulder if she wasn't careful, cargo pants with a camo design, jeans, a pair of shorts, 3 panties, 3 pairs of socks, and a cap with a camo design. "Guess that's about all I want." She told him, holding up the stack for a moment. "The only thing I might still want is an extra supply of cigarettes, but those can wait. Anything you still need?"

Eve wasn't so much cooperative as just agreeing with his idea's. As they were better than what she had planned. Heck, part of the time she didn't have any plans so just following his seemed easier. And hey, being someone's android wasn't so terrible. She got to fight and smoke, and if he really pissed her off she could still say no or do her own thing if that time came right? What she didn't realize was that a disposition to listen to her owner was also programmed into her. It wasn't anything forced though. Just the inclination to do so, so she wouldn't notice it herself.
The explanation of the sky city was good enough for now. A bunch of rich people shutting themselves off from the world below completely sounded boring to be around anyway. The rest of the walk was mostly quiet. There was one guy that tried to do a run by from behind, to take some things out of the cart. But Eve quickly held out her arm just as he wanted to pass her, making him slam against the ground instead. "If you want to steal you should be less obvious about it..." Eve mumbled, not even really caring if the would be thief heard her. Once back at the apartment she only grabbed her boxes of cereal from the cart. She opened one, then grabbed two handfuls of corn-flakes and stuff them into her mouth. As she did so she raised a brow. The android had figured she didn't have taste buds, being completely synthetic and such. But she did taste something. A taste that made her tongue tingle a little bit, and made her want to eat more. Sugar was supposed to be sweet, so was this what 'sweet' tasted like? "Huh...I know I was supposed to be designed as realistically as possible, but...I never expected this much detail was even possible." She mused after the second handful of corn flakes. "Apparently I even have receptors on my tongue similar to taste buds. Though I'm not sure how accurate they are..." The weird part was that this kind of technology definitely didn't exist on the planet's surface. Heck, the same probably went for whatever her skin was made of.

Eve sighed. She wanted to see what passed for fashion in these parts, but putting the groceries away would probably be better. "Sure sure, we'll go to your apartment first then." She spoke, following him back to his home. As they walked Eve looked up for the first time, and right away noticed something off. Or rather, there was something you wouldn't expect to be in the sky. "A sky city? What's that all about?" She asked Jurgen. Her eyes scanned for a way up, but there didn't seem to be one. So...was it separated from the world down here?
(So short, but I wanted to at least throw her question in first. ^^;; )

"Even better." Eve replied when he told her she wouldn't have to hide all the time. She stayed with him at first, not even sure where to go in a place like this. Though when he suggested she go and find the cereals she wasn't about to admit she was lost at the moment. "Sure." She told him before heading off into the store on her own. Luckily the place wasn't big, so after searching for a while she finally found the right aisle. After that it was just a matter of scanning the backsides for their nutritional value. Which...seemed to amount to only listing the amount of sugar and fat in the box. Apparently a food's nutritional value wasn't exactly high on the priority list in this area. But at least it listed sugar, so it was still easy to find the one she wanted. A cereal called "twinkies cereal" or something. It was about average in price. Three boxes should be enough for about a week.
Then once again Eve had to search each aisle for a bit before she spotted Jurgen. She put the boxes in the cart, figuring she might as well stick with him now. "Well, I'm done here. So...guess I'll follow you around until you're done." She told him, though her idle mood suggested she was pretty disinterested in this whole supermarket thing. Eve did say something about wishing she didn't have to eat earlier that day. Once he was done with everything too Eve wanted to go get some clothes. Maybe her female design rubbed off on her a little or something, as she did seem more interested in clothes than the grocery store.
(See, twinkies will survive the apocalypse! :P)

"To look perfectly human huh? Well, I guess I'm already 90% there since my design was to look and act as human as possible." She mused, looking her body over, even pulling her shirt away to look down her blouse and see if anything needed changing there. "I guess I should be fine as I am now. The flexibility grooves can easily be passed off as normal enhancements." She shrugged. "What I lack in data on the human world I can gain quickly through experience." She thought it a bit of a bother to have to deal with such things are pretending to be something she wasn't. But then again, Jurgen was probably right that it would create more problems than it would solve if she came out as a full android.
And then they were off to the nearest store block. They were usually made up of a few relatively high-end bars and clubs (For this poor area of the city at least), together with the local bounty hunter hangout, half a dozen stores, and any number of peddlers that tried to sell anything they owned or had found in the junkyard to get money for food. Which gave her an idea...why not find a bar to hang out at every now and then as well? Between fighting and possibly some other things, why not also go to a bar to just chill for a while?
"Hey Jurgen, any bars that have something both humans and androids? Like, something special androids can drink for instance, to help with their cybernetics. How I'll hide what I am...well, I'll get to that when the need arises." Eve was a pretty decent planner, even if she sucked at explaining her plants to others.

"Cereal eh? Sounds good." She mused, figuring she could function on just cereal without a problem. Health wasn't exactly a problem for her after all. She just had a 'pocket' in her body that collected bio-matter and turned it into energy over the course of about a day. Which could then power her for that same amount of time. Unless there was a lot of fighting of course, then she needed more.
"So anything else I'd need...well, some extra clothes would help. I'd rather not walk around naked while this one set's being washed." She answered. And that was about all she could think of really. Even a bed wasn't needed, since her artificial joints wouldn't start to hurt from a bad position. At most she might need to do some maintenance every now and then. "Oh! I do know something else. A maintenance set for cybernetics. I don't know much about what I'm made of, but I do seem to have enough knowledge for basic self maintenance." Such sets cost around 50 for a normal set, or triple that for a high quality one. In her case, she'd probably need the high quality one, since she would be doing a lot more fighting in the future.

Eve only gave a quick "Yo~" with a greeting gesture to the apartment's landlord. She didn't want to go through the trouble of introduction and explaining everything in detail. Jurgen's explanation was good enough really, as they didn't know much more either. Plus, the landlord didn't seem to be interested in the details much. He just got a year's worth of rent in a single day, who would complain right?
"So ah...about going to the stores..." She spoke as they exited the building again. "I did say I will need biological substances to replenish my energy reserves and such. But I have no idea what to get..." She took out the money Jurgen had given her and shifted it through her fingers for a bit. "I'll need food with a lot of sugar or carbohydrates in it, taste doesn't matter since I don't have taste buds. Any suggestions on what I can get with this while leaving enough for smokes?" 200 credits sounded like it would be enough for a while, but really she had no clue on how much food would cost. Or cigarettes for that matter.
