(to Stevo) Well, I do play video games. And use the built-in simulator.

(to Jean) Yeah, it's a long story.

It'll be, um, f-fine. I've trained...trained enough for this.

Niice.

So, I gotta ask

Is combat just like the simulations?

Kitchen (Jean)

-Yeah, it's gotta be. Honestly for a universe to have giant robots like that there's probably a pretty complicated history behind it all.-

"It seems like it..."

-Still, she's still very fascinated by the whole thing even if she understands that it's a long and complicated story. Maybe this is a sign she should probably pick up some mecha manga to read...-

Outside (Aichi)

-Well... if she's sure...-

"A-All right..."

Isn't that the point of a simulation?

(to Jean) Yeah.

Ehhh... nevermind, it's a reference.

Although yeah, you're right- but I mean.

Sometimes simulations aren't entirely accurate...

AI for one thing.

I thought that kinda thing would be more predictable than a human opponent...

Yeah, but, your kind of AI might be different compared to my kind of AI.


I imagine it would. Let me guess: Mobile Suits don't exist in your dimension?

(Mura is also in the basement, doing some woodwork on a lathe next to her forge)

(she doesn't seem to notice Link—)

Before you ask, no. You can't make me fix that for you.

(...oh okay guess she does)

Artistic Iguanas?

I mean, yeah- centuries apart in technology probably but...

Even so, Artificial Intelligence is kinda well- programmed, where human brains are kinda more random I think.

Like we don't sit there, open up the baby and go "Well lets make sure he's not a sociopath"

We just kinda hope and pray that with a good environment and upbringing that he doesn't get four life sentences for crimes against humanity.

Link looks over at her.

"I wasn't gonna ask," he says. "Sewing sucks, but I've done it."

Good. Cause I've got a busy, busy plate.

(she's poring over her work, which currently seems to consist of a prosthetic hand)

(off to the side and next to the forge are what appear to be a couple board game pieces... and a very Guardian-esque energy crystal... and the left half of a bra)

Link's eyes fall towards the crystal.

"Right, of course. It just — looked familiar, that's all," he says before looking at the hand, then back at his armor, as if he saw prosthetics every day.

...Lemme guess. You got stabbed, and one of your friends lost a hand. Is that it?

After stiffening, he quirks a brow. "Not... so much a friend has one as much as I see them around," he said, not answering the first part. She hasn't even seen the armor.

He nods and says, "Good carpentry."

As she looks behind her, she'll see the armor. Mahogany red — with a large column of seams right where the stomach would be.

Ooh, good color of choice. Granted, it's my hair color - pretty, right? - but it also means ya don't gotta get the blood out of it.
