[ Ahh yes, here he is again, your resident robot. ]

Since there seems to be an influx of new people suddenly, I'd like to extend my invitation for a free living space to all. My name is Drift. I've been fixing up this old building, I assume it was a factory of some kind. I find myself at a surplus of empty rooms.

Anyone is welcome to stay here long term or short term, you will have a room of your own, privacy and my protection as you are under my roof.

I only ask that you are peaceful and do not disturb the others living here.

That said, if anyone would like to donate any human-sized beds or furnishings, I would be very grateful, as I am not asking money of anyone who stays.

If you have any questions or would like to come stay here, don't hesitate to ask. I don't bite.

[weapabilities]

What, me? Yeah. I'm great. Totally spry. Ready for action.

[oncearanger]

All right.

Anyway, I'm ready for a run. I was thinking of checking out the population centers, seeing if I could notice a difference.

[weapabilities]

Good idea. Wanna go for a drive then?

[oncearanger]

I always do.

I missed that.

[smellslikefish]

Better.

Do you have a name you wish to share?

[weapabilities]

Ah well. Me too, kinda. Want me to come grab you?

[oncearanger]

I can come there. I'm a little curious about your new housing.

And I'm sorry I wasn't able to help more.

[vaccination]

An empty factory? Creepy.

[hornedomen]

What are you? Are you a machine?

[Well, he did say don't hesitate to ask.]

[weapabilities]

Drift.

[weapabilities]

Well, I won't say no to that. I am kind of proud of it. Maybe I have a future in home repair.

Please... don't apologize. You've been out two weeks. Besides, where did you go? Or do you not remember?

voice

[weapabilities]

Yeah but it's got this sweet pole.

[ Yeah, you heard him. He has a fire pole. That he can't use. ]

[weapabilities]

Uhm. Kind of? A living machine, more or less.

[anotheryosuke]

[There is such a lengthy silence going on right now.

Later on, a little faintly--]

Now I've seen everything.

[voice]

[weapabilities]

I should stop doing video entries.

Hi there.

[liprings]

Yeah, you know! Your big metal one-eyed-monster and his two furry buddies. Or maybe they ain't furry. Shit, actually, it'd be kinda weird if a robot had hairy balls.

[weapabilities]

You know, believe it or not you aren't the first to ask. Also that's kind of personal. Very personal.

[liprings]

Yeah, so? You gonna solve this mystery for me, or what?

[oncearanger]

I can't remember a thing.

It bothers me.

But everyone's disappearance bothers me even more, so I'm on my way.

[Sure enough, he's soon there, waiting at the entrance.]

[irritating]

Can machines bite? Don't you just smash the shit outta things? [ Sorry Drift, you have another person here who is a little hung up on the robot thing. ]

[weapabilities]

I can if someone wants me to.

[ Whoa someone needs to dial down the sass. ]

And smashing is more of a large-bodied mech sort of deal. I prefer something more elegant. Besides, that's messy.

[irritating]

Elegant. What, you the kind of talking machine who likes to throw tea parties and give away free stuff outta the goodness of your heart? [ A beat. ] Do you even have a heart? What the fuck how does that work?! What's it made of? [ She does actually sound curious, even if she's being totally rude and intrusive about it. ]

video

[weapabilities]

I wish I could drink tea. Uh, I meant elegant like a-

Like a knight.

I do have a heart. Just not the way humans do. It's called a spark, and it's made of energy.

[ He's had much worse, she is comparatively charming. ]

[Video btw]

[hornedomen]

How are you living? Are there more like you where you're from?

video

[irritating]

Never been a fan of knights, stuck up fuckin' lot with their ~honour~ and law upholding or whatever, but shit sakes a mechanical knight! The folk of the future have been damn busy buildin' away, huh? How'd they do the energy thing, is that magic?
