[ Hey look! It's the resident giant robot. He smiles so warmly it almost seems fake. ]

Greetings! Since it seems we have some new people since I last spoke on the network, my name is Drift.

For those of you who do know me, there are a few matters I need to attend to.

The first being, I'm moving! There's an abandoned warehouse down the way so if anyone would like my new location, please don't hesitate to ask. On a related note it uh, It's a bit of a fixer-upper. I don't have much to offer in return, but if anyone would be willing to help me strip it down and patch a few things up, I'd be very grateful.

On the other note, I was considering starting some self-defense classes to be held at my new location. I've had a job for now as a transport and delivery service of sorts, but I think, if anyone was interested, I'd enjoy teaching that on the side.

So! If you'd like to learn basic hand-to-hand or swordplay, please let me know!


[Locked to Helmsman]

At your convenience, I'd like to speak to you... Psii.

If there's one thing I'm used to, it's fixing up what's been left behind. If you want some help with your new place, Drift, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Although you could probably cover more ground than me.

[weapabilities]

Really? Thank you, Lee! I'd be grateful for your help.

I may be bigger, but hey, you can get to places I probably can't reach.

[thewalkingdad]

It's no problem. You don't owe me any favors, either.

That's a good point to make.

In any case, when would you like to get started?

[treehopping]

I'd like to learn swordplay. I got taught hand-to-hand before, but not swords.

video;

[weapabilities]

Well I'd be happy to teach you, Rue.

How have you been faring?

video;

[treehopping]

I've been really good. I've been trying to practice with my weapon.

How have you been?

[solitaire]

What're we looki' ta fix, then?

_{( Yup, offering right away. He's bored. )}

[weapabilities]

It's an abandoned building I'm looking to fix up so that Wing and I can exist more comfortably here.

Interested, then?

[solitaire]

Sure. I got some free time an' two good arms.

[tipsygnostalgia]

[She is interested but....robot??]

Can people actually fight with you properly?

I'm asking 'cause I sparred with this one guy who's so buff he's built like a brick shithouse and I actually broke my hand hitting him once.

And you miiiight actually be built more buff than that. Like forget brick house you look like you're a titanium house or something... No big bad wolf's gonna be blowing you down buddy.

[weapabilities]

Oh, heh. I wouldn't spar someone like this.

I have a holomatter avatar for that kind of thing.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Ohh...

Is that like some sort of hologram that's real instead of just an image?

[scalded]

[ ...a talking giant metallic thing. It's best not to uh stare. ]

You know how to fight with swords?

[weapabilities]

[ Hello friend we are the same character archetype Drift doesn't recognize this one... he tips his head and gives that almost-empty smile. ]

Of course. I do not use any other weapon.

[scalded]

[ Why hello! ]

How long have you been training with them?

video;

[wingtamed]

Are you a - talking robot?

[ priorities?? ]

video;

[weapabilities]

I prefer "inorganic life form" actually. But yes. I am.

[wingtamed]

So how does that work? Is your brain a cluster of computer chips or somethin'?

[Ooooh, personal correspondence! It's such a novel thing that the Helmsman is willing to ignore that Drift got his name wrong.]

Yeth, user Drift? Doeth user need help with demolition?

[He's good at demolition!]

heavily filtered;

[weapabilities]

[ No response. Interesting. ]

I- ahahaha. Demolition. If you want to help I won't say no. But I had some other matters I wanted to ask you about, actually.

[maiinframe]

[Di calls him that all the time, and he's gotten tired of correcting her. If Drift does it again, he might correct him, but he'll let one time slide.]

Yeth, system will help.

[He tilts his head a fraction to the side. Using video today, another sign of trust.]

System ith listening.

[voice; anonymous]

[pixieboots]

I could do with some practice if you're offering... [ With someone new. With anyone new. ]

What do you charge for the lessons?

[voice;]

[weapabilities]

No charge.

[voice]

[itsmagicallydelicious]

... Are you looking at starting a dojo?

[You might recognize the voice, it's considerably more hoarse than probably the last time you heard it. He hasn't used it in a while.

It may or may not mask the mild amusement in it.]

[voice]

[weapabilities]

Uh. Heh. Maybe? I guess that's what you could call it.
