First Trial of the Dragon! [video]

[feminine_carnivore]

Heeeey, is this thing even on? How am I supposed to even tell if it's on?

[ It's definitely on, and Chie's on camera. Just your average short haired, kung fu loving steak addict. ]

Listen up! I have a question I totally need answered.

Has anyone ever seen two copies of people? Like, there's one, who knows everything you know, and then another who doesn't?

[ Chie's not exactly a wordsmith, she's better at kicking people. ]

Oh, and does anyone know where I can get the best steak in the city? This is very important, I haven't had anything as good as Aiya's beef bowl since I got here!

[ Maybe some manly boxer will be able to point her in the right direction. ]

I haven't actually tried driving a car, but I do have a scooter!

I guess you could just cut out a key-shaped hole in your chairs and you'll be all set! [ Chie smiles a bit while hoping she hasn't said anything stupid. She's seen a lot of strange stuff here like people with wings and the like, so a girl with a key in her back seems pretty normal in the grand scheme of things. ]

[Nano's used to people saying stupid things. It happens on a daily basis at home.]

I don't think the school would let me do that... I usually just turn the seat sideways instead.

[feminine_carnivore]

Oh, yeah, I guess I didn't think of that.

...So if you wind it up enough do you transform in a giant mech or anything? [ Because that would be too cool.. ]

[all_wound_up]

Huh?

[Nano blinks. It isn't that she's unfamiliar with those sorts of shows, but she never even considered that she could easily have actually been built that way.]

No, nothing like that...

[feminine_carnivore]

Oh, haha, I see. [ Chie just rubs her head awkwardly. ]

I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a transformation sequence, you know?

[all_wound_up]

My attachments don't really do anything useful.

[And Nano rubs her own head awkwardly in turn.]

[feminine_carnivore]

"Attachments?" Do you have more?

[ Chie's interest is piqued. ]

[all_wound_up]

[Ahaha, Nano, when will you learn.]

Um... a few.

[feminine_carnivore]

So...are you some kind of robot, like Labrys? [ Maybe it's a little racist thinking that all robots would know each other.. ]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano just stares for a moment, blinking. She'd thought Chie had already figured that out when she noticed the key.]

Um... yes, that's right.

[feminine_carnivore]

[ Don't mind Chie, she doesn't always put two and two together! ]

But...you can't even tell or anything. O-Other than...you know.

[all_wound_up]

Right. It does kind of stick out, doesn't it?

[Nano heaves a small sigh, but smiles all the same as she glances back at the key. She used to not like it so much, but the it's part of what makes her unique.]

[feminine_carnivore]

Yeah, but it's not like it's a big deal or anything!

[ Chie would definitely be friends with someone with a big key in their back, she doesn't mind! ]

[all_wound_up]

I'm glad! I used to be so embarrassed about it.

[feminine_carnivore]

Really? Are there not a lot of robots where you come from?

[all_wound_up]

I'm the only one I know of.

[feminine_carnivore]

Oh wow, that must be...tough. Well, I know another robot, you guys should get together and...talk about robot stuff. [ Chie's playing matchmaker! ]

[all_wound_up]

Oh, do you mean Rock? Or Blues?

[But she already has a crush on someone else!]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ N-Not that kind of matching making!! ]

Huh? No I meant Labrys...wait, are there more robots here?!

[all_wound_up]

At least that many. I met another one named Miku a while ago, but I haven't seen her lately.

[feminine_carnivore]

That's so many! ...Does everyone have a key in their back?

Oh, hey, I forgot! My name's Chie Satonaka!

[all_wound_up]

No, I'm the only one.

[Which she's actually a little jealous about, deep down.]

It's nice to meet you, Chie! My name is Nano Shinonome.

[She smiles, politely bowing her head for a moment.]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ That does make sense though, why would a lot of robots have keys in their backs? Sorry Nano.. ]

Have you uh, been here long?

[all_wound_up]

Five months today, actually.

[feminine_carnivore]

Oh wow, that's pretty long. I'm still pretty new myself, but all my friends are here, it makes it a little easier. But it sounds like you have friends here too! [ What with all the robots walking around apparently.. ]
