Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

"Is she all right?" Trevor asked Helda, who was building a tent with some of her friends on the second day of their arrival.

Helda glanced at Mila, who was just sitting there throwing stones in the distance, not wanting to help at all.

"Just let her." Helda sighed. "If I confront her now, things can get messy."

Trevor was silent for a moment, looking at Mila again. "But don't you want to talk to her? You don't want to comfort her?"

"Not at the moment." Helda smiled. "But, if you want to do it, go ahead."

The android approached the black-haired woman. "Good morning, Mila."

The woman turned to Trevor, raised her eyebrows, and asked in a haughty tone. "What do you want?"

"Honestly, I don't know."

Mila's chin dropped. "You're bothering me, and you don't know why? Get lost, you trashy thing. Don't come near me."

"Hey, isn't that rude, girl?" Leva joined in with a smile.

It seemed that Leva saw her former self in Mila.

"Why did you come here too?" Mila, who seemed increasingly annoyed, stood up and brought her face closer to Leva's. "You want to give me advice like old Helda? Do you really know how I feel..."

Suddenly Leva brought her mouth close to Mila's ear. "Oh, I know that, Mila. I know very well how you feel. I've heard what you're going through from your friend. I can tell you what I'm going through is similar to yours."

"Then?" Mila chuckled bitterly. "You're saying that you want to tell me to forget everything? What a..."

"I just want to say, Tom is now a part of my tribe, and he has done a lot of good. In a short time, our house was almost one-third finished. I know what he did was cruel and unforgivable for any reason, whether it was because he was forced or something." Leva cut off Mila's words. "However, if you do anything to him, I will repay you. And maybe not only me. There is a friend of mine who is very good at retaliation. Something's broken in his head, and he's going to take revenge many times over."

I turned to Manu, who was opening one of the mech plates. Then, the bearded man waved to Trevor. "Hey, Trevor. I don't know how to remove this part."

"Coming!" Trevor rushed over to Manu. "I'm sorry, I should have been with you."

Mila looked sharply at Leva's face and left the place with quick steps.

Hopefully, Leva's words can suppress Mila's desire to do something stupid.

***

The party that Helda had planned didn't happen last night because her female subordinates were too tired. Finally, the celebration was held tonight. My colonists and the women circled a large bonfire, singing and chatting with each other. Lots of food available, although it was just something they usually eat on this planet, nothing special at all.

Eric's gaze fell on Trevor, who was surrounded by women.

Gwen, who realized that, just shrugged and ate her banana.

"I'm just grateful. It wasn't me who was swarmed." Eric spoke without anyone asking.

"But those women won't be able to feel Trevor's warmth," Gwen responded while chewing.

"If they want to feel warmth, they have to open Trevor's body. Not only do they get warmth, but they also get electrocuted."

"Hey, is it true that your body is all made of metal?" One of the women who surrounded Trevor asked.

"It's not all metal. There's synthetic rubber and plastic and other elements you never see." Trevor explained.

"You said these parts of your body can be removed and put back on." A brunette woman added. "Can you, for example, add a new body part?"

"In theory, it can be done..."

"Hey, you mean he can get dicks, Krista?" Another woman chimed in, then stood up and shouted at the others. "Hey, Krista wants to ride an iron dick, guys!"

Instead of replying or laughing, the others stayed silent with confused faces. They don't seem to know the context of the words. Only Krista and some of her friends laughed.

"Hey, get the drink out!" Helda exclaimed. "It's not a party if there's no booze!"

"Ah, let us take it!" Krista raised her hand, then left with her friends.

Trevor's gaze fell on Mila, who was alone among the others. The gloomy-looking woman looked at Trevor for a moment, then left the place.

Before long, Krista and her friends brought several large clay bottles.

"Time for a drink!!!" Krista shouted cheerfully.

Almost everyone there cheered, including my colonists, except Leva, who really doesn't like drinking, and Kat. Well, that's because she's Kat.

Several other women handed out wooden cups while Krista and her friends started pouring wine.

"No, no, no." Leva took the cup of wine that was already in Kat's hand. "You can be like Gwen if you drink poison like this."

"Hey, you're saying as if what I did was a bad thing." Gwen shrugged. "Admit it, you're excited to see my naked body? I'm spreading beauty to others!"

Eric was about to grab Gwen's drink, but the woman quickly ran away and moved to another section.

"Fortunately, it was your feet that were nimble. Not your hands." Gwen grumbled.

"I think it's a bad idea if you drink. We don't know what the consequences will be. Maybe it will increase your exhibitionist tendencies." Eric was about to go to the blonde woman, but I told the man to go back to his place.

After all, that tendency is Gwen's identity. And she's been through too much too. Maybe a sip of wine can help.

"Excuse me. Can I have a cup too?" Trevor asked the woman who distributed the cups.

"Didn't you say you didn't need to eat and drink?" The woman who distributed the cup raised an eyebrow.

"He wants to come to Mila." Krista approached the android with a smile. "Despite his appearance, he's actually very considerate."

"Thank you for the compliment." Trevor stood up and bowed in respect.

"No problem." Krista poured the wine into one of the cups, then gave it to Trevor.

"Thank you again. I will meet your friend." After bowing again, Trevor left.

I was curious about what Trevor would do. He might be able to melt Mila's heart... Or, make things worse, I decided to follow the android. If a drunk Gwen does a striptease, I can use the replay feature to watch it later.

"Don't you feel too dark in a place like this?" Trevor approached Mila, who was sitting on a tree stump, quite far from my colony.

"I have the ability to see in the dark." Mila sounded tired, didn't bother to turn her head to the android. "You don't understand what I said this afternoon, do you? I want to be alone."

"Ah, sorry if I bothered you." Trevor stopped in his tracks.

However, when Trevor turned around, Mila stopped him. "Ah, since you've brought my wine here, how about we chat for a bit."

"Oh, okay." Trevor approached Mila again, and the woman accepted the wine the android brought.

"Thanks." Mila just held the wooden cup, not drinking its contents. "So, Trevor. Why did you come to me again?"

"I just don't get it. Your friends are having fun, but why are you so far away? What makes you different?"

Mila laughed.

I'm starting to not believe that Trevor cares about Mila's condition. Maybe the android is just curious.

"What do you think?" Mila asked again.

"I have a suspicion that you are experiencing emotional distress." Trevor sat down next to the woman. "I've learned... I've experienced something like that, and it was awful."

"Hmmm...." Mila pouted slightly. "What was it that made you experience emotional distress in the first place?"

"There are some scientists who can be said to be close to me... They even consider me a friend. They have been with me for years." Trevor began to tell his story, making a sound like someone's sighing. "And when they died, I felt something I never felt before..... Maybe that could be called loss?"

"Oh, I see." Mila sat idly by, starting to look bored.

"Actually, I only saw two of my friends who died... They couldn't stand being trapped in the escape pod... Or, as you call it, a sky ship. So, they ended their own lives."

Mila looked at Trevor again, looking a little surprised. "Ah, I'm sorry to hear that."

"That's why, after feeling this emotional distress, I feel... I don't know how to explain it... I don't want other people to feel it."

"Even though I'm a stranger to you?" Mila rubbed her chin. "Interesting... Even with your unusual way of speaking and movements, it turns out that you can empathize too."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Mila smiled faintly. "You're a good person, Trevor."

"Thanks...."

Suddenly, there was a loud whistle from a distance, which made Trevor look where his colony is.

"Why has it become quiet?" Trevor asked. "I heard nothing from the party."

What? I immediately looked around. That's right, the atmosphere is now quiet.

"Zzzzz...."

I turned to Trevor, who was now convulsing.. Mila had stuck something into the android's neck joint.
