[ action ]

[ After having some additional memories jammed into his skull, Dirk's come to the conclusion that whatever the fuck is going on with that waking self of his that the arena tower ate, he's going to be just fine when he goes home. At least, that's the way it appears.

So he can be found Sunday afternoon out by the lake, holding the bottle he received as a prize for the phoenix fight. There's a letter rolled up inside.

He tosses it out into the water. ]

[ Dirk making a post that's not text? Is the world coming to an end?

No, actually, it seems he just wanted to show off a couple of friends of his.

The one who looks like a robotic Dirk happens to be wearing a Fortitude girls' school uniform. ]

Hey, Rakuen. Meet Brobot and Lil Sebastian. [ He gestures to the mecha-Dirk and then to the mecha-bunny, in turn. ] They're creations of mine who were lovingly ordered from our very own Rakette by my good pal Jane Crocker. You'll be seeing them around the city from now on, as they'll be keeping an eye on shit both to assist me in my duties as a prefect, and to help me gather information pertaining to our imprisonment in Rakuen.

They aren't actual people, so don't bother trying to vow with them. It won't work. [ He tried. ] I have, however, provided Brobot with a PDA of his own. If you're unable to reach me for any reason, text him.

[ And with that out of the way... ]

Speaking of vowing, I'm a Player this round. If you need one, I'm available. And if you want someone to fight, I'm more than up for that.

Brobot, huh? I used to have a robot just like him, named Jadebot! My grandpa built her so that I could still do stuff while i slept, which I used to do a lot! She exploded during our session, though.

Oh, yeah. Jade mentioned that last week. She didn't mention the exploding, though. Why'd that happen?

It happened after I died on Prospit. Jadebot was connected to my dreamself, so I think that connection being gone made her overload.

[ Does that make sense? He tries to think, but all his programming prowess is securely locked away behind a thick veil of fog. ]

I've never hooked a robot up to anyone's dreamself, but that sounds about right. [ He'll pretend it makes sense. ] Sorry to hear that.

Making a habit of it? Or writing to a wee lass or lad at home?

[ Aly is taking a leisurely stroll. She's had a lot on her mind; the Firebird gave her a lot to think about, particularly when it came to what to do about lying to everyone. As easy as it was, perhaps the students weren't the ones she should be lying to. They might even be helpful in a spell. ]

[ He glances over at Aly as she strolls up and slips his hands into his pockets. ]

There's a guy I needed to explain some things to.

I see. Care to explain to a curious passerby? Or are they universal secrets?

[ She joins him in the hands in pockets business. ]

It's really complicated.

[ A pause. ]

But I might've seriously fucked someone over with something I did here. Figure I owe him an apology.

I see.

[ Why is he copulating...she's confused....but thankfully Aly has linefaces that match the Striders in intensity, so she doesn't show it. ]

You're downright charitable then, apologizing for something. Wish I'd gotten one of those bottles.

[ A shrug. ] Didn't have any other message I wanted to send to anyone, anyway.

Let me guess, you got one of those vouchers? It's likely you'll get a bottle with the next tower boss we defeat.

Right. I'm not sure what I'll need yet that's so important from home, but I figure if I need to sell it to someone it'll fetch a pretty penny.

[ Shrug! ] Does a young sir like you have a name?

That, too.

Dirk Strider. Guessing you got one of your own?

Aly Homewood, of-- [ Ah a blush ] I s'pose you wouldn't need to know which Fief I'm from, being from a different place and all.

Yeah, that part's not important unless we've got another Aly Homewood running around, which we don't.

Nice to meet you.

those are the ugliest fucking robots ive ever seen

I pity your obviously limited experience.

what the hell is that tiny one supposed to be
a rabbit
why the fuck would you want a robot rabbit

The real question is, why wouldn't you want a robotic rabbit?

Sebastian functions as a guard dog for a friend of mine. Only, you know, not a dog.

Those are sculptures? But how... [...oh.] I see. You're a witch in your world.

[ The first thing he notices is that David isn't speaking in verse. How... odd. ]

No on both counts.

What, then? They're not people, but can see, and "Brewboat" [audible quotation marks there] can use a PDA. I know of no one who could create such things but witches, faeries, and Rose Lalonde herself.

...Brobot, David. Brobot.

They're robots. Created using advanced technology, not magic or sorcery. Some things are possible in the time I come from that might seem outlandish or impossible to you.

Sweet robots.

[Something about the machines makes Sis, excited maybe?]

Yeah.

You ever dabble in robotics?

Somewhat. Not as much as I would have liked to.

Huh. [ Too bad. He guesses it would have been difficult growing up in the past and being a teen mom or whatever... ] You ever want to take a look at these two, feel free.

[She could have had her own reality show, 18 and I have a kid that I found in a crater.]

We'll look at them together, or something.

I won't have a whole lot to say. I've completely forgotten how they work. [ Shrug. ]

Then why haven't we gotten you to remembering yet?

[ Shrug. ] I've got a few memories back, just that hasn't been one of 'em.
