last_sundustMachine King Attacks Barian Island (Log)
::So, Hirume looks. Different. It might be the Megaman esque legs or the strange mechanical wings from her back. So maybe she got a new haircut.
She's at one of three locations.
A) Barian Island, where she seems in deep thought as a Cannon Soldier brushes her hair.
B) She's outside at the Spirit-Arcadia Institute, looking utterly perplexed by the building, with a Mechanicalchaser shadowing her.
C) She's at OOPARTS' Domino office building, with a Brave Scizzar circling her like an obedient dog.
The fact the machines seem to be following her besides her new perm is a pretty weird thing.::

Date: 2019-03-24 03:48 pm (UTC)Since things have settled down since what happened, he's been taking a moment to stand and "relax".
... well, much as Failnaught tends to relax, but he's been sorta staring at Hirume for the past few minutes now.*
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-24 08:20 pm (UTC)She feels like a Hirume.
But there's an awful amount of metal on her.
There's also something off about her demeanor. It's still very divine, but something's shifted.::
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:34 am (UTC)*that has to be like the third time he's asked in the past hour.*
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:41 am (UTC)... Other than I suddenly have a number of strange feeling and thoughts.
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:42 am (UTC)I'm sorry I keep bringing this up, but I'm still a bit confused as to how the fallout occurred. My vision is superb, but even I don't understand how the situation came to... this.
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:47 am (UTC)And I desire to step on and grind the face of my dear Warlord.
And see you in various dresses.
If you must know.
::She says this with a very embarrassed look.::
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:53 am (UTC)Do you feel it's a result of your... apparent assimilation with the "Numeris Genitor"?
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:59 am (UTC)::You'd probably look cute.::
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 01:01 am (UTC)Do you feel these new thoughts and desires will hinder you in any way?
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 01:03 am (UTC)Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 01:43 am (UTC)Still, this army now... your army...
Re: [A]
Date: 2019-03-25 04:45 am (UTC)As I have no particular desires with the lower realms, other than to restore Takamagahara.
... I do feel less. Self loathing, since the gestalt.
[C]
Date: 2019-03-24 06:03 pm (UTC)Ah, Hirume! I'm surprised, to what do we owe the visit...?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-24 08:13 pm (UTC)::This sort of thing is just so beyond her.::
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-24 08:57 pm (UTC)Ah, but... I suppose I can help you field that potential... ah, mire. If you want my assistance.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-24 09:01 pm (UTC)::Blink.::
My... attendants? Pets? Limbs? Informed me that this where I should be to begin... relations?
These things are not my forte, I believe is the term. I apologize if I sound unlike myself at points.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:09 am (UTC)...Your... attendants, are pretty well-informed, but I suppose they would have to be, given everything. Where do you want to... uh, begin?
[He sits down at an available desk, setting up a small laptop to type with.]
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:39 am (UTC)::Her eyes glow ominously.::
As to my attendants. They are me, I am the world, everything they see, everything they do, I know, everything I will, they do.
::Brushes her hair idly with a severe look.::
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:45 am (UTC)In which case, it might pay to pay them a visit at some point. But given I'm typically the one one more actively communicating outside of Earth Space, it might be prudeent we start here.
So... first things first, I assume you'd be calling off Genitor's whole war against the various dimensions, and usurpation of Machine World?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:50 am (UTC)According to the information I hold, the response to explain it best would be:
'Je suis l'état, l'état est moi.'. You are talking to the Machine World.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:53 am (UTC)But okay, no war is a good start. We can work with that.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 01:01 am (UTC)But. I. We. Do wish to open the closed door policy of the Machine World. Its train lines and heavy industry and terraforming equipment would be useful, yes?
Or must I speak more slowly?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 01:14 am (UTC)[He's typing quickly.]
"As a result of our long-standing isolation, we were unable to claim allies or friends when it mattered most, and in doing so, suffered far more than if we had realized we cannot operation in isolation. To this end, we would open our doors and desire a peaceful and more communicative age of Machine World."
Something along those lines would suffice, yes?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 04:21 am (UTC)Since I'm the last one standing, I choose to open the doors. ... As I assume that's something you'd want.
::Brushes her hair aside.::
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:19 am (UTC)I mean, from a perfectly biased standpoint, yes. And obviously I would support any claims of Earth as allies.
Though if it's something you - collective you - also want then I can't say it doesn't have its merits.
...You'll also have to probably talk to Van Der Aart and Power Tool Dragon at some point, as I think they are official emissaries-slash-protectors of Machine World in some capacity, being Signers, but, being tactless for a moment: I want this to take as long as possible so that jackass finally ties the knot with Niyo and I can send her on a paid vacation without her feeling guilty.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:27 am (UTC)... As to Van Der Aart, I'd rather not, I feel an intense desire to squeeze their head like a melon until they burst out of contempt.
... I do feel somewhat off, I shall admit, Warlord.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:35 am (UTC)...Though I guess that's fair, regarding Van Der Aart.
[He stops typing.]
...I can tell, yeah. Do you wanna talk about it? Let's put the politicking aside for a moment.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:39 am (UTC)... As to the other question.
... How errant is it of my identity to want to shove you onto the ground and grind your spine until it is dust?
Or to be served on a palanquin by smoothly shined mechanical attendants and fed grapes?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:43 am (UTC)[He kind of. Blushes a bit.]
I would say it's definitely a change. Though the fed grapes part feels like it tracks a bit closer than the desire to, uh. Step on me. Not that it necessarily makes it bad but... it is a change from what I've known of you.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:49 am (UTC)But, it would seem he's given me some sense of desire. Ambition. Want. That I did not have before.
If I begin to act far too outside of myself, I will ask you and Failnaught to strike me down.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:56 am (UTC)...and I would hope it doesn't come to that but you have my word if you begin acting... aberrant I'll be one of the first to do what I can.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 11:58 am (UTC)My having them alone creates a massive political imbalance.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:04 pm (UTC)The Lance is yours by right, so I won't advise you on that.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:21 pm (UTC)Though it's notorious as a cursed artifact. ... Consulting my database, I believe an apt comparison for these is the artifacts from your game "Dungeons and Dragons".
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 12:35 pm (UTC)Yeah, this is a tough political mire. You can't really separate from the Chalice at this point, and the Lance is... well, yours. The Wand we can do something about, but even two of three sets up a rather serious imbalance. Though I don't know if the Chalice can function at all while it's serving as your... 'heart', so to speak.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 09:03 pm (UTC)But it's notorious for being rather dangerous and having an 'Evil Intelligence'.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 09:46 pm (UTC)Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-25 10:03 pm (UTC)But I'd rather not dive into too much speculation.
Also, the "Machine World" desires a name to be referred to. We, it, I, are open to suggestions. We have a name but it is a name of code and numbers humanity and non-Machines have would have difficult with, to say the least.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-27 10:43 pm (UTC)Oh, right. I was told to pass on a request for withdrawing some of the... 'former' troops from Barian Island. Apparently Labrys is still a little on-edge given the attack. Wouldn't be a bad move to show an active attempt to scale back militarization, either.
As for a name...Automechanika, possibly? It's a little on the nose, perhaps, but...
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-27 11:03 pm (UTC)But yes.
The Eternal Engine Empire of Automechanika.
And I am dubbed Bujin Hirume Ex Machina, the Eternal Engine Empress.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-27 11:49 pm (UTC)I hope you don't mind, thougn, but you'll always just be 'Hirume' to me. Eternal Engine Empress of Automechanika or no.
I don't suppose you plan to give me a secondary title? My business card's more than a little cramped already...
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-27 11:50 pm (UTC)Why would I.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 12:19 am (UTC)That said, I admit I wouldn't really need one, working with you is more than enough... and it might get a little long-winded to introduce myself, given other duties.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 12:45 am (UTC)::She gives you such an exasperated look.::
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 12:47 am (UTC)...I think I need another vacation.
[He starts to laugh a bit.]
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 12:52 am (UTC)Huh?
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 12:56 am (UTC)Hence, needing a vacation.
Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 01:04 am (UTC)Re: [C]
Date: 2019-03-28 01:11 am (UTC)Remind me after I make sure my understudy and co-founder gets hitched. I'm not gonna take my vacation until she gets back from hers.
