Machine 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.::

...You might be able to make an argument about how much safer it is being used as your heart since at least then it's... not 'malicious'.

Bar it being an influence on me by itself. 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]

I'll obviously let you know if I see anything alarming. We may just have to deal wit the potential repercussions, especially since I doubt there's a nearby volcano strong enough to toss the World Wand into to keep the three from ever being unified...

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]

There was a 79% poll guess you were going to suggest Mechanus. But The Eternal Engine Empire of Automechanika is what we would prefer to be referred to... and very well, we were keeping our arms there for the purposes of helping the Barians rebuild the island, if not expand it, at their request. But yes. The Eternal Engine Empire of Automechanika. And I am dubbed Bujin Hirume Ex Machina, the Eternal Engine Empress.

...I'm not that predictable, am I? [He laughs.] 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]

[last_sundust]

::Blinks at the secondary title.::

Why would I.

Re: [C]

[becomeanwarrior]

I don't know, usually people give their... political strategist? Royal adviser? Official facny titles.

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]

[last_sundust]

I'm asking you mostly in your position as officer of OOPARTS, and as my mortal spouse. ::She gives you such an exasperated look.::

Re: [C]

[becomeanwarrior]

[A beat.]

...I think I need another vacation.

[He starts to laugh a bit.]

Re: [C]

[last_sundust]

::You can visibly sense the question marks materialize around her.::

Huh?

Re: [C]

[becomeanwarrior]

I'd clearly been thinking too much about this from a job perspective. Sorry. That's my fault.

Hence, needing a vacation.

Re: [C]

[last_sundust]

I recommend Automekanika.

Re: [C]

[becomeanwarrior]

...I have always wanted to see it for myself... 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.
