[ 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.

[ He grins, looking suddenly delighted. That's just like some of the anime he's watched. Excuse him, he's going to attempt to contain himself. ]

Wow! Those are so cool! I kind of have something like that.

[ He turns around so the screen is facing his back. There are two wing-like clips that frame the sword he carries on his shoulders. He manages to shuffle them just a tiny bit, nowhere near what might actually be considered 'wings' but he seems proud. ]

So what species are you then?

They used to be cooler when they were actually all there. [ His enthusiasm makes her grin and laugh then, clearly entertained by his little metallic not-wings. ]

We're called Gryps, some kinda humanlike descendant of the original gryphons. What happened between then and now not a soul knows but I mean, hello we're here now so who gives a shit!

I bet! Could you fly? I bet you could fly!

Hmm. I can't say I know what a gryphon is, but it sounds really cool.

Naw, I never could. Too much human in me, my wings turned out too small so they ain't built for flyin' anyway. My grampa's got the proper Gryp wings though, he can fly! Or I dunno, he's as old as the damn sun now and they might not work anymore, but they used to.

Gryphons are part lion, part eagle and all big and powerful! Hard to find now, but there's gotta still be a few out there somewhere.

Hmm. Your people live a long time then? How old can you get?

[ That's hard to imagine. He has to really think hard about what those animals look like, having spent a minimal amount of time on Earth. ]

That sounds like a fearsome creature. Powerful. What happened to them?

Well, bit longer than humans anyway. Most of the full bloods have no problem gettin' past one hundred but I dunno about us hybrids.

[ At the last question, Apollo shrugs. ] Fuck if I know. Mysterious bunch, been drivin' history people nuts for ages.

Ohhh. That is on the long side for an organic.

Really? Did you not grow up with your own people? Sorry... if this is a bit intrusive of me.

Uh. [ She sits there thinking about how best to describe her upbringing before finally settling on something. ] Had my grampa and my sisters, but lookin' at the past ain't ever been a hobby.

What the fuck about you then, huh? If nobody built you and you aren't magic then how'd you talking, feelings guys get here?

Oh uh. Yeah, sorry. I know how that can be.

Me? Well I'm just a different species. Different planet. I mean, some mechs will tell you about the science of it, I'd tell you the more spiritual side. Depends on what people think is right, I guess.

I suppose, the easiest way to think of it is that a human or otherwise, is just an organic machine, is it not?

Uh. I... guess so? [ Oh god she's actually trying to think about something this is too weird abandon ship. ] Whatever, you're a living alien machine from another planet and there we go, life mystery solved! I mean, there's probably weirder shit out there than that anyway, yeah?

Always cool to meet a freak of nature though! [ She says that as though it's a compliment. ] What'd you say your name was again? Swift?
