I am... unused to this method of communication.

But, Miss Mikata and Mister Kantai, I believe you wish to be addressed...

I have somethings of yours.

If we had known this was going to happen, we would've preemptively tied him up.

[becomeanwarrior]

Oh no I'm not blaming you, let me rephrase.

If your guess was even remotely close to what transpired I am going to pay out of pocket.

[thefrozenstorm]

A little hard to make a bet like that when we knew of the result first.

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah, I suppose you're right. A shame Adam beat us to the punch on that one.

...I guess I'll just give it to Niyo as an early wedding gift.

[isdragonlady]

I'm too annoyed to bet. I honestly just want to cry.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Would a paid vacation and a bonus help.

[isdragonlady]

Maybe.

But mostly I want a non-insane fiance. Or one whose insanity is being channeled to more productive ends than the Noriko and Machine King conspiracies.

[becomeanwarrior]

I understand. Hopefully Noriko can do something.

In the meantime, take a bonus and a week's worth of paid time off. You can cash it in now or use it as an extra buffer for your honeymoon.

...Also if you wanna go out to try and at least drink away some of the oncoming headache I'll buy.

[isdragonlady]

You know what.

What the hell.

Let's go get drunk and mess around.

I need this. Especially if I'm going to be dragging and driving his ass to Kaikori.

[becomeanwarrior]

I promise I'll try and keep you from doing anything too embarrassing.

Or, barring that, I promise not to tell anyone what happens.

[isdragonlady]

Embarrassing is fine.

I need to blow off a ton of steam anyways.

And I'd rather do it in your presence.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I'm touched, honestly.

Let's go make some poor choices.

[last_sundust]

Please see that it doesn't. If this continues, they will be stripped of their duty.

[thefrozenstorm]

Noted. Believe me, we're pretty annoyed, too.

[last_sundust]

If there's anything I or Automekanika can do to make up for this, please do let us know.

[thefrozenstorm]

"Automekanika"?

[last_sundust]

Ah. Yes. I haven't done introductions. I am Bujin Hirume, now Bujin Hirume ex Machina. I am the living avatar and heart of what you call "Machine World". It-we-I, have been dubbed "The Eternal Engine Empire of Automekanika". I am the current ruler of that world, succeeding from Psycho Shocker and Machine King, after the former was killed by the latter, and I... for lack of a better term, 'ate' the latter.

[thefrozenstorm]

That's... certainly a more unique name than "Machine World". I have to wonder who coined that name originally...

But fair enough. It's nice to meet you. I am Kantei, Sekou, but you can call me "Seku". Most anyone does, anyway.

[last_sundust]

My warlord... ah, the one you would refer to as Onni Haita. It is a stand-in as the true name of the world is effectively unrenderable in human speech due to being non-human in nature. I feel compelled to call you Sorcerer of Ice, but if you wish.

[thefrozenstorm]

That works too, honestly, but it might get sorta lengthy for casual conversation.

[last_sundust]

Sorcerer would be short enough.

But again, if we can do anything, do let us know.

However, I have 0 interest in this Van Der Aart being the continued champion of my world if he continues to strike at me, the heart of said world.
