[ GIANT ROBOT INTRO POST ]

[ there is a robot talking to a moogle ]

I'm afraid I cannot find an adequate translation for "kupo". Are there no other words in your dialect?

((I am out! Megatronus is still around))

Whoa.

[misswexler]

You see any of them around, buddy?

[primesdontparty]

Megatronus is here.

[misswexler]

[well yeah, but he doesn't inspire the same urge for eye contact. he's more of an...at a distance contact kind of guy

regardless, she flaps her hand like the point he just totally had is immaterial]

What I mean is, it doesn't do much for the crick in my neck.

[her tone is light, though]

[primesdontparty]

That is unfortunate. Is there any way I can help with this "crick"?

[misswexler]

[waves a hand] Either you grow, I shrink, or I learn how to levitate. I can handle it.

[primesdontparty]

[nods]

I did not mean to be an inconvenience.

[misswexler]

Don't worry about it. As long as you don't step on anybody accidentally, I don't think we count as incompatible organisms.

[primesdontparty]

I would not step on anyone.

[misswexler]

[gently] It was a joke.

[primesdontparty]

Ah. I am afraid I do not know much about this planet's humour.

[misswexler]

Just keep in mind that half of the time people are saying the exact opposite of what they mean and you should be fine.

[primesdontparty]

That would be very confusing. What would be the need of such subterfuge?

[misswexler]

It's called sarcasm. Generally it's communicated through subtle nuance of body language and tone of voice, but... [rakes a glance over him]

[primesdontparty]

I am not well-versed in humour.

[misswexler]

And, to be fair, a different species. Colloquialisms are bound to not swing so well.
