[An adorable girl carrying a really large gun case is staring down a """helpful""" robot right now.

In a word, unimpressed.

In several words she definitely seems to be sizing it up and finding it more than a little lacking.]

Comments

[bodymod]

[this robot(?), though not the helpful one, is watching this.]

[abstractmachine]

[ IF YOU GET PINGS . . . Louie is more like data or AI of some kind??? though she has a physical body??? ]

. . . What.

[bodymod]

[He looks at her… then at the robot… then back at her.]

[abstractmachine]

Is everything here a rustbucket?

[bodymod]

[Reaches out towards her…?]

[abstractmachine]

[ doesn't move, just watching ]

[bodymod]

[Doesn't touch, just stands there with his hand close to her arm for a moment before dropping it again.]

[somefrenchpoet]

[wait did somebody say helpful]

... Do you need help, miss?

[abstractmachine]

[ shakes her head 'no' ]

[somefrenchpoet]

[nods, then glances at the gun case]

You should be careful.

[abstractmachine]

[ JUDGMENTAL LOOK. ]

Why?

[somefrenchpoet]

Because that looks dangerous to be carrying around.

[abstractmachine]

Dangerous for who?

[somefrenchpoet]

You and everyone else.

[allevilthings]

[all contrasts: though dressed with a heavy cloak in a black so dark and thick it seems as deep and impenetrable as a cloudless night sky, the head and hair revealed by the pulled-back hood are both pale as a bone.]

[with a thoughtful sigh.] Is there a problem, milady.

[abstractmachine]

[ she doesn't say anything for an overly long moment, just looking. She sucks in on her lower lip a little, either in annoyance or thoughtfulness. ]

No.

[allevilthings]

[shifting, the cloak rustling on the ground. it ripples around her as her arms move underneath it without leaving its folds. leading on, guilelessly:] I asked because I thought perhaps I could offer some help.

[abstractmachine]

Do I look like I need help.

[ it's clearly said in a way that isn't a question, even if her head tilts a little, watching. ]

[allevilthings]

[there isn't much give to get; her face is an open book, open to a blank page.] Do you think you don't?

Annoyance doesn't suit a face like yours. Confidence is better.

[abstractmachine]

[ her eyes narrow and then widen, almost deliberately. ]

I don't need help.

i keep tagging you kinda late......

[kurageuta]

[Woah when did this mask get here?

Oh wait it's attached to a 'person'.

... and he's sort of just standing here staring at you staring at the other robot.]

Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ...

[Yes he did actually just give himself staring sound effects.]

[abstractmachine]

[ . . . she turns abruptly at his noise

and stares at him now ]

[kurageuta]

[-- ah! Is this a staring contest now?

Is it cheating if you can't see his eyes?]

... What are you staring at, miss?

[abstractmachine]

There's a bunch of useless scrapheaps here.

[kurageuta]

[ ... awwh. ]

Please don't say that...! What if they hear you?
