Yo.. so with the surface not really an option right now and all, my mercenary stuff is at a hold, and since I'm such a damn busy body I figured I'd see if anyone needed anything done around here.

My name's Duo Maxwell - good at anything to do with machinery, even if it's taking apart a bunch of tiny parts in a motor and piecing it back together, all that junk. If you doubt me and wanna see my handiwork, check out the huge black Gundam with the bat wings in the hangar. All of that is mine to fix and maintain.

I can do piloting / mech lessons as well if that's more your jam.

Also not a doctor but pretty good at field dressing, etc and definitely not squeamish if any of you doctor / healing types need a hand.

Not opposed to fetch missions either if you're feeling lazy and want a delivery boy.

Basically : Anything you need, hit me up.

Looking to keep my hands busy until we've got a bit more of an idea what's going on / mobility in general.

How instead of anything you just mentioned, ya teach me a... game from your world!
That should be fun, right?

[braidedwonder]

How do we know if I know any games that you don't, though?

I'm totally down but I don't even know what kinda things you have in your world so.. give me a short list for reference

[quevalry]

Hm, good point.

There is chess, tick tack toe, poker, horseshoe, checkers annnnd black jack to name a few.

[braidedwonder]

I've got all of those too.

Played quite a few over bets in my time, too.

I'm definitely game for learning how to use the mech suits.

[braidedwonder]

Awww you wanna learn to tandem pilot with little old me?

We can do that. Just let me know when you want to.

[willrevile]

I don't want to tandem pilot with you, an old sock, or my best friend, but I better figure it out before the next time something goes tits up.

[braidedwonder]

w o w Jim.

Way to make a guy really feel like he wants to teach you things he got punched in to him all nicely.

Maybe I'll just stick to my gundam then.

Duo.

You have good timing. I am in need of assistance.

[braidedwonder]

Well I figure a few people may be after all that down on the surface.

What's up, Princess?

[quintessent]

One tick.

[The communication device switches to video. It's centered on Allura's face but it shouldn't take long to notice that everything around her is... skewed. Like the room is three quarters to being upside down, and she's floating about a foot off of the ground, because that's exactly what's happening.

She sighs, panning the camera to the area nearby, which seems to be somewhere in the living quarters.]

As you can see, the gravity systems in this section of the ship keep going haywire. I've fixed it on the control panel nearby, but I fear something needs to be reset internally.

[uglybug]

I think I should learn how to pilot something.

[braidedwonder]

The only crap thing about learning to pilot here is that they're all tandem set up... so no lone flying.

But I think you'll be good at it anyways - the worst part is getting accustomed to the buttons and the way a new ship controls, but once you've got those down pat it isn't the worst.

someone's bored

[braidedwonder]

Guilty as charged...

Sue me, man, I'm used to doing a whole hell of a lot more.

[motivation]

so tell me about your gundam

I saw your giant robot in action down on the ground.

Pretty cool. Did it take a whole heap of damage or is it still going?

[braidedwonder]

Still going. Mostly just have to clear away the blood and muck from the whole.. undead dragon thing.

Scythe's a tough guy.. would take a lot more damage to take it down.

[impavid]

Not even a dent? What's that thing made out of?

[torchwoodteaboy]

Hallo. Duo was it?

I'm sorry, I can’t help but ask. 'Beam Scissors'?

[Meet John's roommate, Ianto Jones. John may have sent Ianto an excited text to go ask 'the guy' about his Gundam, and Ianto can't help but have Questions...]

[braidedwonder]

What about 'em?

And where the hell did you hear about 'em that specifically?

[torchwoodteaboy]

How... What are they? How do they work? They’re not. Actual scissors I’m assuming.

[That would just be ridiculous.]

As for me, a little bird told me. A little bird who was very excited about them, truth be told. And the rest of your Gundam as well, for that measure.

Please tell me you’ll at least let him look at it. I’m pretry sure he might actually be drooling.

Sounds like we have similar interests.

[This man can always get behind tinkering.]

I haven't heard of a Gundam before, what is that?

[braidedwonder]

It's a model of a mobile suit. There's only five of them in my world.

.. Or I guess a lot of people have best understood it as a 'giant fighting robot.'

[planetary_bonds]

[You've just brought back Yusei's childhood to life, you know that?]

That kind of thing would be considered a fantasy in my world. I imagine that thing has schematics I never would have heard of.

Sounds like a challenge to maintain.
