[So, Alita is exploring the ship. It's what she does - adapt, overcome, kill the shit out of anyone who gets in her way. She's slipping down a hallway, cloak billowing out behind her as she moves very quickly - and she comes to a halt as she comes face-to-face with the tachikoma. For a moment she just stares.]

You're... a... cyborg?

[Oh my God, why is it so cute?]

[tachikhromatic]

Huh? [Musashi evaluates Alita's design in a burst of gleeful processing. Her movement, jointed fingers, a high-res three-dimensional scan of her whole form. Thermal-readouts and evaluations scroll past and after an eternal three seconds the Tachikoma turns to face Alita in three stomping steps.

A combat cyborg!]

Oh no, ma'am, I'm not a cyborg! I'm a Tachikoma!

[Cheerfully, it waves]

[embattled_angel]

You're a robot, then?

[Alita has only encountered a few robots in her lifetime, but none of them really had this much personality. She raises a hand and waves slowly, bending over slightly get a better look at it's 'face'. So. Cute.]

[tachikhromatic]

[She doesn't have to bend far- Tachikoma are big. Musashi whirls its eye are her, curiously, smelling of plushie-pheromones.]

Technically, I'm an AI, but this body is definitely robotic.

*Toboe was back to trying to explore. Or, really, he was on his way to the flower deck but he'd call it exploring. At least until he noticed Musashi.
Tail wagging, he trotted over to the robot*

Hi!

[tachikhromatic]

[Glee! The Puppy! Musashi whirrrrrrs over to meet Toboe in a hurry. The Valentine's hearts following in a glowing trail, like some freakish, heart-themed power puff girl.]

Hello, Toboe! Isn't it great?! Look-look, the Captain gave me a plush toy!

[stray_cub]

You got one too? I left mine in my room.

*Though Toboe had spent a long time curled up with the grey wolf. It reminded him of a friend, after all, and was soft and squishy.
He hadn't touched the candies, though. He was a bit wary of food left out after Musashi's warning about cookies. And chocolate wasn't good for canines anyway. Not that Toboe knew that.*

This is a lot better than the last time the captain did anything.

*That being when he punished people. Especially the broadcast of Raph's punishment. But the wolfie was making Toboe warm up to the place a bit. And he liked Musashi!*

[tachikhromatic]

If you stay out of trouble, he likes to give gifts on western holidays. I think he's actually American!

[Musashi dropped its candies over the side. Bad chocolate! Bad!]

You have to be careful about the food though. At Christmas, it turned you bright green for a whole week. That wasn't so bad for me, but a lot of people were worried about it.
