Storage Woes [Video]

[Once the video clicks on, Simon looks rather puzzled. In the background, one might notice a large mass of red and black metal.]

So, uh. Got a question here.

Where can I park a big mech? 'Cause I'm not sure how well people would like it just sitting outside my apartment building.

Oh... that is big! Would it even fit in a standard parking space...?

...well, the head unit might. The rest wouldn't though.

I'm amazed that you were able to bring something that large! What does it do?

[Giant robots are cool, okay.]

... A mech.

As in a giant robot.

[if she didn't see it, she wouldn't believe it]

That's another way of putting it, yeah.

Geez... You get a giant robot, and this place couldn't even bother to reunite me with my partner...

We may be able to house it in Sagittarius, but depending on where your housing is, it would be inconvenient to reach it in an emergency.

Capricorn is also an option, but has much the same issue.

...Cancer may have a facility you can park it for the mean time, if you don't mind letting a few scientists look at it in exchange for housing it.

Cancer's closest, but... What all does 'looking at it' involve?

Nothing extensive or damaging. We're professionals, if nothing else.

But your mech may help us increase our own technology to better fend off the Anoli. Nothing more than a few simple scans would be required, and you could even be present while such are done.

We would be likewise willing to reimburse you for your time.

[Quietly adds this to the list of things Naoto never thought she'd see in real life.]

...

Cancer may have a facility to store it in.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking at going with, since it's closest to Libra.

[From that angle, he can't get a good reference for HOW big that thing is... but wow on the grand scale of things that's pretty huge.

That's not what Ryu's paying attention to, though.

The guy actually making this video.. Simon may be a good deal older than Ryu, but the resemblance is ridiculously uncanny.

..Down to the orange goggles, even.]

That may be a little disruptive to traffic, yeah.

[...yeah, there's some mutual goggle-bogglin' going on here. Holy crap.]

Just a little, yeah. Last thing I wanna do is cause traffic trouble - if this world's anything like mine, then that's one of the things people tend to gripe about the most.

[Seriously, are we like long-lost brothers or something?]

Heh. Too many trams on the rails, no one gets anything done. That's why paperwork's such a necessary evil.

[Just gonna... continue to act casual. Being the first one to bring it up would be a bit odd, but...]

A... mech?

Like, the kind you pilot? [This is a stupid question but seriously what.]

Yeah? [Simon just stares at Aoba, like giant freakin' robots are the most common thing ever.] There's other kinds?

Well, no, I think but... [How does he put this into words.]

I never thought things like mechs existed in the first place.

[The feed's camera is a bit off, but this is Asem's first time using it. It still manages to show a blond kid in his late teens wearing a white uniform, though.]

You've got one, too? I was starting to think I was the only one.

[Well, there's a moment of forgetting about other worlds, and since the only other giant robot here was sentient, Simon has a brief glimmer of hope that this guy is from his world.] Are you one of our Grapearl pilots?

[Well. That just added to Asem's confusion.]

Grapearl...? I've never heard of that model. Is it an experimental mobile suit?

Sir, how big is big? Larger or smaller than 19 meters?

I'm... Not sure. I've never measured it, really.

...well, that's a long story that boils down to "a lot of dumb luck", really.

I wouldn't want to impose on someone, though. He seemed...really easily irritable.
