 [The feed clicks on to show Kay...although, she's not as chipper as she usually is.  She's not sad by any means, but more...solemn.  The party had gotten her spirits up considerably, but now that it had passed, she realizes something important.  Something she needs others to help with.  So she sits on her beanbag chair, arms resting on her knees as she gazes into the Link.]

I want armor.

[Why? Because it's dangerous here. Overlord proved that.]

Are there any metalworkers here?

And...I want to learn to protect myself.  In...in case someone can't do that for me.

Yes I can.


[Look at those eyes harden.]

[When it comes to enthusiasm, she's brimming with it.]

Me? Well uh...I got this really nice Swiss Roll...

[ ...oh! He knows what those are. ]

That's a snack food, right? All right, I'll take it.

[ He's a man of simple tastes! And it's not like training a human to be better at defending herself would be bad for him in the long run--besides, it seemed like she had an in with some of the not-so-irritating robots. Always a good relationship to cultivate. ]

When're you free?

If it... helps... perhaps...

You don't necessarily need armor to be strong. [Because you've survived this long, DAMN.]

And... no. Unfortunately not.

[dirge]

Oh really? Care to prove it to me?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

I haven't, persunully. But it ain't nothin' new.

An', yeah, right - bet if I squashed ya right now, you'd make a mess all over me!

[littlecrowgirl]

[The laugh felt nice. It got her mind off of everything that had gone down...It takes her a moment to catch up with her breath, but she looks up at him, eyes glittering.]

You need a car wash though.

Really badly.

Hello, Kay. [smile]

And, I think you have the right idea. I might have to take your advice, too!

Though, I keep thinking of Medieval armor worn by early 5th to 10th century knights. [It's a silly thought, but hey, everyone needs cheering up here.]

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

I thought that too! You know, I actually found a helmet in the junkpile a few weeks ago. Hold on!

[She hurries away from the feed for a second, coming back with a really heavy looking helmet on her head, faceplate turned up by her hand.]

What do you think?

[thxforthememories]

[He looks a little taken aback by that.]

I... do?

[littlecrowgirl]

Yeah, I think all the driving around got some gritty stuff on you.

We'll have to clean it off.

[thxforthememories]

I...

I don't like water.

[littlecrowgirl]

Too bad. You need a bath.

[thxforthememories]

Did Yuuta tell you to say that?

[littlecrowgirl]

We sort of conjured up the idea together, if you gotta know...~

[thxforthememories]

Did you really?

[heatsink]

Look, in a situation like this, a heavy suit of armor may not be your best bet.

[He kind of doubts someone here can make a lightweight ceramic hardsuit without any sort of infrastructure to back it up.]

You gotta be light, and fast. And you gotta have something that can bite.

[littlecrowgirl]

Yeah! We were going to have a huge car wash! And I said I'd get you to come.

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

But...the fast I am, the less shielded I am...

[She did the math. More armor = better.]

It doesn't matter how fast I run...they can still step on me.

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Sounds like a deal to me!

[She practically bounces in excitement at the acceptance.]

I'm free pretty much anytime! Just name the place and time, I'll be there!

Re: [video]

[showboater]

[ He nods. ]

Three days, meet me in the Junk Pile. I'll have targets. Bring yourself, wear clothes you're okay with getting wrecked, and be ready to work.

[thxforthememories]

Did you really?

[He's... still smiling. Somehow.]

I guess I can't disappoint him, or you, can I?

[video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Got it! I'll be there!

[littlecrowgirl]

That's right. You don't want to make us upset, do you?

[thxforthememories]

I would never want that.
