[Video] Well this is awkward.

[weapabilities]

[ Oh hey look, it's Drift. And it appears he's finally given up the gun on the whole trying to pretend he's not a giant awkward robot. He sucks at this whole secret thing. So have a giant robot. ]

So hi there. Uhm. Right. So I'm Drift. And I've got just a few questions.

First is that uh. I'm becoming abundantly aware that I'll probably need to find a better way to fit in here for obvious reasons. I do have something called a "Holoform" which allows me to project a solid holomatter representation of a human. But I'm really. Not a human. So there's that.

I guess what I'm asking is for some help in how humans or organics are really supposed to act.

Second, I'm looking for work. It doesn't actually have to be paid work, but anything I can do to help. My skills lie in.

Uh. Lifting heavy objects, chopping things and... well I'm pretty decent in a fight. So you know. Sparring or training self defense? Anything anyone can think of that they need help with. Please don't hesitate to ask.

[ He's a little desperate to make himself useful. ]

You were thinking--

[He doesn't choke this time, but it's a close thing; there have been too many surprises already, his throat is probably adapting out of self-defense.]

W-Why a lumberjack?

[weapabilities]

Oh yes, Collette suggested it to me, and I'm really starting to really like the idea.

Good old-fashioned physical labor... really good for the inner-energies.

[itsmagicallydelicious]

Are there a lot of trees to cut down around here?

[It's a legitimate question, considering the state of the island...]

[weapabilities]

I uh...

I'm not actually sure.

[itsmagicallydelicious]

You could ask around. Even the Initiative seems pretty used to playing tour guide by now.

[weapabilities]

Yeah, I suppose I could! I mean there has to be a demand for lumber, right?

[itsmagicallydelicious]

If not, there should be. Even some of the buildings in use look like they're about to fall on our heads.

[Of course, not most of the Initiative's facilities, but there are truly some appalling neighborhoods in the city. Kariya doesn't completely mind them, since those are often his places, but they're not especially safe for actual living.]

[weapabilities]

Mm yeah, and Ygritte said there were animals out there. So... maybe trees?

[itsmagicallydelicious]

Ygritte is one of the explorers?

[He doesn't know what else to call them. Every now and then they're on the network, young and old, showing off their travels and he--

Well, that half-buried little itch to join them keeps growing, a little at a time.]

[weapabilities]

I don't know... she did say she'd been out there though. Seemed to me she did it regularly.

[itsmagicallydelicious]

It would help if we had a map of the island.

[How did he come this far in enabling a robotic lumberjack. Well, to be fair, he was thinking about this issue already.]

The Library would be a good start.

[weapabilities]

That's a great idea! Maybe you could come with me?

sorry for the lateee they should totally do this sometime

[itsmagicallydelicious]

I visit sometimes, anyway. Two heads will be better than one.

[Everyone needs information, after all, and him more than most.]

No worries! And YES YESSSSSS

[weapabilities]

Agreed! Absolutely.
