21 ♐ Whistle while you work

[aim_exorable]

Who: Darkleer and Summoner
When: In the afternoon
Where: The Hoofbeast Feather Hive, Darkleer's room
Status: Closed

While he does have a much nicer and very large workshop in the basement thanks to lots of hard work, Darkleer still likes working on smaller projects while in his own room from time to time. It's nothing grand or complicated, just a little robot cat. His day is somewhat free besides working on the Welcome Pamphlets, so he's taking the time to relax.

Comments

correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they found out ruf and hor were a couple back then

[rebull]

[And oh how nice that is. Nice-and-sturdy.]

Ah yeah- [Goes a little quiet. Reminds him of Rufioh, not that he had been there long. His brows furrow. Hm...]

[Still though.]

Cute that those two were uh, ya know.

Yes! Darkleer got all excited about it

[aim_exorable]

Yes, it's nice.

[It's also a reminder that Summoner felt very odd about the whole thing, so Darkleer racks his mind for a way to turn this conversation around.]

I think I much prefer having you all to my own than having to live vicariously through some strange doppleganger, however. It just doesn't compare to the real thing.

Okay wicked, I thought I remembered right.

[rebull]

Doesn't it now? [A soft smile, hesitantly setting his chin on the other's shoulder.]

[aim_exorable]

Not a bit.

[He slips an arm around Summoner's shoulders, nuzzling into those bright red locks.]

Doing that would mean not getting to hold you like this, for example.

[rebull]

Heh, know you like to, pretty warm after all. Fang'd say the same all the time- [Wooooff, catches himself, he shouldn't have mentioned Mindfang. it's just hard not- having her in his head these days with her around, and hell, having to watch over her every day lately too...]

[His wings shift a little.]

Ah- sorry, anyway, yeah.

[aim_exorable]

[Yeaaaaaah, that kind of kills the mood. Darkleer just gives an awkward nod.]

It's alright.

[He just... doesn't really know what to say now.]

[rebull]

[Sure is awkward silence now.]

[aim_exorable]

[Yeeeeeep....]

[Awkward silence for a good while too, until Darkleer finally thinks of something.]

So. Robots.

[Not very eloquent, but he's getting somewhere.]

I'm going to release a horde of them onto the city.

[rebull]

-Wh- wait what?

[aim_exorable]

Aquatic themed robots. They should be accepted well enough by the native populace, at least that is the preferred reaction.

[rebull]

Uh, why? [He's assuming it's because you just have an urge, loving robots as much as you do after all. But then, a bunch of robots that could end up being battle ready at any time would also be useful.]

[Makes him miss his beast hordes...]

[aim_exorable]

Why not?

[Okay, well, as a good a reason as that is on its own, Darkleer explains further.]

Besides, it would give more of a purpose for all the robots I tend to build in my spare time anyway. The natives also need to be watched after more closely, and this way they can be tended to just in case anything horrible happens again.

[Also he told Cici he would do this, but he can't say that out here.]

[rebull]

So surveillance? [He can't say anything about that, he's got eyes all over the place.]

[A laugh.]

I'll be sure to say hey more then. [As a bird to some robot, or a deer... to some robot. Head nods and chirps.] Seems like a good idea though, makes us more prepared, sure Zelda'd agree.

[aim_exorable]

I'd quite like that. [Oh, Zelda, right... Darkleer starts to pet Dural again.] I would hope she would. She was so diligent.

[rebull]

She's a lot of things. [A smirk.] Good to have people like her in Vatheon.

[aim_exorable]

Yes... Now we'll have to manage without her. I hope we do her memory justice.

[rebull]

Heh, we will, hell, how can't we with all those robots running around, right?

[aim_exorable]

[He brightens up a bit.]

Oh, I've gotten to try out so many new designs! It's going to be so interesting to unleash them and see how they work properly out on the field.

[rebull]

I'd like to see them. Seeing all the neat things you do with animals forms is pretty cool.

[aim_exorable]

The octopi have been the most challenging to work on. I'm not used to a design that requires so much flexibility! It is rather fun.

[rebull]

They're pretty complex anyway, for uh, sea life. Sea scalebeasts are usually pretty simple.

[aim_exorable]

Well, that was a given, knowing what we do about Dualscar.

[Sssssh, they're on the douchebag side of troll friendship ok, he can say this]

[rebull]

[A smirk, teeter tottering his head a little.] True true. He certainly proved something all right. But he's got some things going for him at least.

[aim_exorable]

He's becoming a little less insufferable, which is a thankful miracle for us all. Most seadwellers aren't capable of such a thing, even the children we know. I'm sure Signless must be very proud.

[rebull]

Signless sure did a number on him, that's for sure. [He laughs, leaning back and bringing up a knee to rest an arm on.]

Worst we have to deal with it clown town but he'll stay chill as long as sopor's around. [A shrug.] Kinda cute, it's like a purr to water with him. [Weird- dreamy look on his face. You hates you so much you stupid subjugglator.]
