shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

That´s good! He hissed at everyone else!

 

Is not just our, is the swarms secrets?

But youre a [fixer] not a [Maker]! Fixing machines is our job!

 

Yeah. Can I SEE an egg, at least? Touch it and stuff?

 

[The tiniest, gentlest boop.] <Hello, little newbit!>

I'm not gonna hiss at newsparks.

 

[Thunders jerks his head up, puffing his plating out threateningly.] No touching eggs!

 

Can look at the mi egg? -indicates the tiny egg-

Nonono1 Not you, he! The little one!

 

-resniff.- Pirr!

 

-pets plating down- I´ll watch it. And it´s empty-

 

-She looks between them, wings canted down.-

 

Oh! I am lucky then!

[Gentle protective chirring.]

Still an egg. Still ours. [Grumblegrowl disgruntlement. He streeeetches out to get up in Lacuna's face and still somehow be shielding the bugmi.] If you learn weakpoints and hurt more eggs I will eat you, even if Glow likes you.

 

-She can't help but flinch.-

I would never hurt an egg! Even at my meanest I only fought people who fought back!

 

[He backs off a little, at least far enough to look back at @Sprocket .]
<...you're sure she's allowed, Maker?>

 

You are! And it´s ok she can´t know this outside here anyway!

-peacemaking chirrps-

[-worried- I think? She says. And she can´t take things. She says she won´t hurt eggs!]

 

-climbs a claw to sit there and purr-

 

I'm just guessing at what those mean, but I spent... Quite a lot of time without people to repair my equipment, or without access to equipment at all. It might be silly, but I worry about... What if I was the only one functioning properly on the ship? Or if medbay was completely cut off from anyone who could fix things? I've lost people because of things like that before. I don't want it to happen again.

 

I suppose that´s fair. a [Maker] builds things and fixes machines. a [Fixer] fixes people.

 

<...yes, Maker.> [He looks back to Lacuna, clearly still suspicious.] Fine.

[Protective chirring. Yes, stay here and be safe.]

And this is why being alone is the worst. <Maker> is... mm, engineer? Works with nonliving machines. <Fixer> is closer to medic.

 

-She approaches the tiny egg, shrinking down to better look at it.-

 

-chirps- [Are you angry with me?]

-watches closely, as promised. The egg is gold and silver and somewhat pointed at the top, with clear amber panels held by metal curves-

 

What sort of compound are the panels made of? You don't need to tell me exactly, that's a secret, but what are they for is what I want to know? It's really lovely looking!
