yeah, all right, i'm new here. please send your welcome wagon baskets of cookies to my room. i'm hungry.

( but that wasn't the reason he was putting himself out there now. he didn't really want to talk to this lot but seems like that was gonna have to be something he does.

so, he's making it happen. )

what i'm gettin from this place is that i can't go back to where i was, this place is in fuckin' space and those are actual fuckin' stars out there, and you lot like to get fucked up drunk sometimes.

( yes, he'd seen that post of yours, newton. seen it and he was going to remember it for the rest of his life. )

so, since you lot are so ready to offer up advice, i got two things:

one, where can i get a fuckin' good drink?
two, where can i punch the shit out of something? or someone. volunteers? i'm definitely taking volunteers. come on, everyone's so helpful here, right?

You can't hurt me and I'd certainly like to see any pent-up aggression taken out on where it wouldn't count.

[cheapbastard]

you sure i can't hurt you?
i've hurt plenty of people before this.

[aurable]

Very sure.

[cheapbastard]

so, what makes you so sure, then?
what've you got that makes you hard to hit?

[aurable]

I'm nine feet tall and made of magic space metal

[cheapbastard]

oh fuck
another robot?

[aurable]

Yes, but 'robot' is a bit of a pejorative.

[cheapbastard]

oh right, what's it called
cyberman? cybersomething.
cyber.

[aurable]

Cybertronian.

So, again, going a few rounds with me would be perfectly fine.

[cheapbastard]

i don't know if i'm in the market to break my hand
against your metal flesh
might be the exact opposite of fun

[aurable]

That's the fun part, I use a solid light human avatar called a holoform. Most I'd get from being smacked around is a headache

[cheapbastard]

the hell's a holoform?
that anything like a hologram?
you know, what they use to squeeze money outta dead celebrities?

[aurable]

God, what?
No, it's what we use to disguise ourselves.
Practically indistinguishable from a human.

[cheapbastard]

so not a hologram.
so, if you had this holoform on, you could look just like me?

[aurable]

No
Not a hologram
Mine is keyed to my personality and mood so I don't control what it looks like

[cheapbastard]

so, you could be someone different each time?
that's pretty fuckin cool

[aurable]

In theory

[ Read: Drift has no idea ]

[cheapbastard]

in theory?
never tried?
wow, you should try it.

[aurable]

Why, have someone you don't like in mind?

[cheapbastard]

oh, lots of fuckin' people
you don't?
you like everyone?

[aurable]

Sure, but I doubt you can turn into a giant robot on the fly.

[cheapbastard]

no, i can't do that.
and how much of a bummer is that?
never wanted to be a robot though.
until now.

[aurable]

Not to brag
But
I also turn into a car

[cheapbastard]

you turn into a fuckin' car
what kind of car?
not some kind of station wagon, right?

[aurable]

Toyota GR Supra heavily modified for drift racing
