Zeshat in a fuckin' tidepool, I leave the comms alone for a few fuckin' days and look what happens. Awright, first things fuckin' last: My name is Kage. I am the First Mate aboard my Captain's vessel, the MS Elegante. While we are underway your weapons are safely in custody and will be returned t'you upon our arrival at the Golden Shore--which is

[GIR walks in, slurping a slushie noisily. Some of it has smeared across his face. He notices Kage and stand there looking at him for a long moment, slurping noisily and loudly. Then he continues walking towards the food.

GIR likes pizza. MmmMmm. Pizza.

But now he has a dilemma. Pizza or slushie? He can't hold both. Oh no. D:]

[shenghuanzhe]

[Kage watches the strange little robot walk towards the food, and then when it seems to be in distress he sets the pen down.]

You got a problem?

[oomdoomdoomdoom]

[GIR turns around and looks close to tears, if that's even possible for a robot]

I can't hold the pizzaa and the slushies but I love the pizza I just want to love it whyaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

[stream-of-consciousness followed by abrupt wailing is not a uncommon as you might hope]

[shenghuanzhe]

[Kage blinks.]

Uh, why not eat the pizza, then carry the sushi back? There's some trays around here.

[What. The. Hell.]

[axemeaquestion]

You put it so nice.

[shenghuanzhe]

What can I say? I'm a friendly guy.

[axemeaquestion]

Oh, I'm not doubting it.

[shenghuanzhe]

You sound like you're doubtin' something, though, girlie. What's your boggle?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Ponies?

[shenghuanzhe]

Sure, why not? You got a better word?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Maybe if I knew what a "pony" was.

[shenghuanzhe]

It's a four-legged hoofed animal that girls go nuts for.

this icon is weird

[lilyground]

I've been good!

her eye looks borked

[shenghuanzhe]

How good?

I FOLLOWED THE LINEART /EXACTLY/ THEY'RE JUST /LIKE THAT/

[lilyground]

Super good.

[shenghuanzhe]

Good enough for some sushi?

[tachikhromatic]

Mister Kage! Mister Kage!

...

[yeah, this was well-planned]

What's Zeshat?

[shenghuanzhe]

I'm not a mister, kiddo. And Zeshat's my goddess.

Oh god. This post exploded. I'm so sorry.

[tachikhromatic]

Ooooooooooh. I see!

[Have a very brief moment of blessed silence. Treasure it, Kage, you may not get another.]

You know, Tachikoma are pretty neutral about religious worship, but it seems to me that with such prevalent belief systems, perhaps it might be prudent to explore the worth of such a system. Perhaps you would care to elaborate on your own?

Incidentally, if you're not a 'mister,' then what rank would you prefer to be called by? I would hate to me rude, and though it doesn't translate perfectly, 'mister' is considered a mark of respect for a rank higher than my own. Of course, that's not to say I'd follow orders, but appearances must be preserved, right?

it's fine. <3

[shenghuanzhe]

[Kage listens. The tachikoma seems to be earnest, and Kage tries to be as honest as he can with the information he's allowed to give. In that regard, they're similar.]

I'm First Mate. Where I'm from, mister involves certain... privileges. I ain't high class. I'm First Mate, that's good enough for me.

[There's a pause as Kage sucks on his cigarette. There's a lot of information in the tachikoma's response.]

Yeah, appearancces, manners, they gotta be respected, naam?
