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.

Well that's some luck you've got there, then.

[She's thankful that you appear to be on their side, honestly. Because fighting a giant robot on foot ends so well for everyone who tries it on TV]

Even if he is really mean I'm sure... [wait no yeah he'd never go with that, would he? Sucks.] you might have a point actually.

Maybe it could be like a five hundred pound gorilla in a movie theatre?

[Get it, Simon? Do you get it?]

Well, I'm a little out of luck on that front - neither of the people that have done maintenance on it are here, as far as I can tell.

Guess we could do it the old fashioned way and just see if it fits?

[Note the lack of enthusiasm or even emotion in this voice. Its almost like she has no passion at all]

Or we could get it measured.

If that's the case, all the MORE reason to keep them far, FAR away from my workshop. I rather like continuing to function.

[He chuckles.] You're tellin' me.

[There's several seconds of quiet.] ...eh?

[He does not get it, alas.]

It's an old joke that goes like this; "Where does a five hundred pound gorilla sit in the movies? Wherever he likes."

[A pause]

Because nothing can stop it given how big and powerful it is?

Come to think of it; an empty shell of a robot probably creeps you out, huh?

[Well... not empty, but one which is piloted instead.]

Don't worry it wont hurt you.

Or that, I suppose...

[Measuring things is booooring, though!]

It's likely to do less damage to your robot and my ship.

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

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

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

[Giant robots are cool, okay.]

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

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

It's a bit different with the kind of partner I'm talking about, but thank you anyway.

Let's just say my race's prior experiences with humans controlling robots has been horribly traumatic at best.

Says you.

Oh, I didn't think about that...

[Her bad.]

Doesn't it count for anything since it's empty and junk? The dude wouldn't be piloting it or anything.

[Have one very exasperated sigh.] That seems to be a running theme.

If it's anything resembling a 'female' machine, I do not want to be anywhere near it unless it is absolutely necessary.

What are you, a mech-sogynist?

[Somewhere far away canned laughter is going wild.]

Get it?

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...]

Well, I didn't really bring it myself - it was here when I got to my apartment. I'm not complaining, though. As for what it does - just about anything, really.

[That they are!]

Yeah...

[If this guy was from his world, though... He'd certainly recognize Simon, wouldn't he? Curiosity abounds, though.]

...say, does the name 'Teppelin' mean anything to you?

...huh. Well, they're pretty common where I come from. [Cue one mildly awkward headscratch.]

Do you live underground normally?

[After all, he never knew of Gunmen while he was underground until That One Day Everything Changed. So if someone else doesn't know of mechs, maybe they live underground back home. Clearly, this is a logical line of thought.]

[And thus gives Simon confusion in return.]

No, they're mass-produced. Can't say I've heard of a 'mobile suit', though...

[He frowns a bit, that prior glimmer looking to be snuffed.] Does the tern 'Gunmen' mean anything to you?

That's true, ahah. Guess I've just never been good at proper procedure.

[There's a considerable pause. This is clearly something that must be contemplated.]

...well, that wouldn't be very nice of me. And it'd be a major misuse of Gurren-Lagann.

[Be glad that it's not video, Jun, or he'd be giving you such a look.]

...a what?
