exsilium | 008 ♐ Accidental video : Finally get this ball rolling

[The feed clicks on but it doesn't seem intentional, at least you'd hope it's not intentional because why the heck is Equius shirtless?]

[WELL, I will tell you why! Because he seems to be working on something, I mean, just look at all that glistening nice sheet metal he has piled up in this room. And there's just a huge pile of broken up robots and other machines on his other side. There seem to be a few bent pieces of metal near him as well, though they appear to be purposely bent so, in more rounded shapes. These shapes match the almost hive like hull Equius is walking towards. It's is a mostly rounded off looking cocoon shape, with a small opening that Equius could fit into if he wished to right now. Next to this strange device, is a long, horizontal tube, attached to a rather thick, intricate looking metal base. The tube and it's base are lifted off the ground enough that Equius can lay on his back and slide under it, which he does, after putting on some goggles and metal face mask, pulling on a rather thick looking leather chest guard, and starting up a soldering gun.]

[Soon after there some sparks seen from under the complex looking base of the tub. It is soon accompanied by some other metallic sounds, drilling, and an occasional curse word; something along the lines of "gosh darnit" or "goodness me". The computer seems to still be on, Equius might have accidentally activated the camera on it when he went to go check some digital blue prints. He doesn't notice, even as he slides back out from under the tube and inspects a small compartment on the side of the base, kneeling, and taking his mask and leather guard off.]

Dangit...

Sure am! I've been told I'm a damn good shot, too. Guess I don't just have a fantastic eye for fashion.

Fashion is silly.

[Fortunately, she's used to that kind of response.]

You think so? I happen to like it. Designing things is fun, and after designing something I like, I can make my own outfits. I was saving a lot of money that way before I was brought here, that's for sure~

Trolls tend to stray from such a ridiculous hobby. In the majority anyway. Perhaps you and one of my fellow trolls should speak though. Kanaya Maryam tends to have an affinity for that, though I still have no idea why. It's silly.

Kanaya Maryam, huh? I'll keep that in mind.

Don't worry, a lot of humans find the hobby pretty ridiculous too. That's why I'm not too offended!

She tends to type with Jade green font.

Do they? Humans always seemed to have a lot more colourful attire, so I assumed otherwise.

I see. I'll keep an eye out for that kind of font!

Well, just because they dress in more colorful outfits doesn't mean that they're interested in fashion. Actually, some of them like to assume that the people who take the interest in it are just brainless and shallow. That pisses me off, especially since I take a few risks that some others who share my hobby wouldn't.

It seems silly to assume someone is brainless for taking an interest in something passionately. It shows drive.

I know, right? I've always thought it was so stupid of them to think! Not only that, but their assumptions are making them the shallow ones.

I can only admire people who have passions. [She's not really talking about herself here, but her boyfriend... and that gives her an uneasy feeling in her stomach for a moment or two.] I also think having drive like that is important.

Yes, both are extremely important, I completely agree. I often notice people not focusing on such things.

Having something you're passionate about also makes it easier to set a goal for yourself. There's a profession for fashion design where I'm from, and I'd really like to get into it. That's the goal I've set.

[And live the way she wants to, not the way it might be expected of her. And to just, well, live.]

A profession for fashion? [What.]

Yeah! There's a lot of fashion-related careers, actually.

Strange.

[A short bout of laughter.]

Maybe it's only normal for me because I'm used to it.

Yes, it would be normal to someone who is used to it, that is how that works.

Are you just going to agree with everything I say? [A small giggle. This is friendly teasing, her tone in itself should imply she means no ill by it.] Not that I mind. It's awesome to find someone so agreeable~

As long as it's logical, yes. [He doesn't see it as teasing at all. What is teasing even?]

Well, then. It's nice to hear that I'm being logical for once!

Besides the entire Elemental topic, you've been reasonable, yes.

Can't help how my world works. Trust me, there's a lot of things I'd change about it if I could.

I cannot say the same about mine.

Really? [She idly wonders if it's because of what she was told by another troll she once talked to--that their world had been destroyed. Naturally, she's not about to ask if that's why. She'd like to think she's not that insensitive.]

Edited (what the hell did i capitalize that "i" for) 2012-10-05 19:47 (UTC)

Yes. [Well, before it was blown up, it was perfect.]

[She's just. Going to play dumb.]

I guess I'm a little jealous, then. But only a little, I assure you~!
