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.

Holy hell where did you get such a big robot?!

[I mean sure she got given her weapons and stuff but there's a difference between two swords and a big robot, right?]

...Maybe you could find out where Brainstorm hangs out and keep it there?

...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.

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?]

[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?

[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.

No I guess that would be a jerkass thing to do, especially since you're a new guest and everything.

[Gurren-Lagann must be the name of his robot, right?]

So... what do you have a big huge robot for, anyway?

Exactly!

I used it to fight for freedom and to project the people I care about back home.

NO.

Come on, play nice.

Maybe it's a female robot, huh?

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

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.

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?

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

...a what?

It was a joke! Probably a human joke and a sucky human joke at that.

[She is glad it's not video too, beacuse someone not getting your jokes usually makes you look lame as hell.]

Just... go back to your Brainstormy business.

....right.

Well. That's the first good thing I've heard in this entire conversation, so I think I will.

[And BOOP, connection dead.]
