Our Avatars Were In A Room Together: The RP

Authority Shuttle (Alice) and (Yuri)

-The kids do seem happy about the idea of Near helping them.-

"More people means more fun!"

"..."

-Even if Alice doesn't say anything in response to Near agreeing, it's clear that she's actually rather happy about it.-

-For once, she feels like she's actually... communicating with people!-

-And then Godai talks about the alchemy machine and its limitations towards making a steering wheel.-

"Oh... That's true..."

-Alice can't help but seem a little disappointed about that.

"Aww... We'll figure something out, though!"

-Yuri starts following after Godai, while Alice turns to Peripa.-

"T-Thank you, Ms. Peripa..."

-She's helping them out a lot, and Alice wanted to make sure to thank her.-

-And then she, too, follows after Godai.-

"P-Please wait for me, Yuri...!"

Authority Shuttle

-Luffy stares for a bit as Peripa works her KEYBOARD MAGIC-

.....Woah.

-he's gettin hyped up

D'you need my help with anything??

From the dark room to the alchemy room

-seems he went there and is drawing something in painstaking detail right now-

-muttering all the while-

Alchemy Room

Oh! You came down here.

-Waves at Michael-

Hey... I'm not sure I caught your name earlier... What was it?

Alchemy room

-AH STRANGER—oh just uh, that guy he met-

Oh—uh—Michael!...

- seems he drawing a car steering wheel?-

-all that neat car shit-

Alchemy Room (Alice) and (Yuri)

-Seeing as the two children did, in fact, follow Godai...-

"O-Oh, um..."

"It's nice to meet ya, Michael! I'm Yuri!"

"...I-I'm Alice... It's... nice to meet you..."

-Yuri is the one that spots what Michael's drawing.-

"Oh, it's a steering wheel! You're wanting to help, too?"

"It's very nice..."

-Alice isn't as good at drawing as she is with baking and fashion, sadly... The pictures always end up looking really squiggly and weird...-

"Do you like cars a lot?"

Alchemy room

Oh—er not really, I just usually draw rough drafts before doing anything.

Except this might do more than be a pretty picture.

Authority Shuttle

(Near has now got that little smile that always accompanies watching Peripa do her robots thing.)

Alchemy Room

Michael... I'm Yusuke Godai. Nice to meet you.

-thumbs-

Drawing it out... To be honest, building something out of scratch isn't really one of my skills. I wouldn't have thought about drawing how it looks first, haha!

Alchemy Room (Alice) and (Yuri)

"Oh, that's a really good idea!"

"Yes... Having something as a reference..."

-...Poor Alice gets a little embarrassed as she thinks about her own lack of skill though...-

"I-I'm... not used to drawing... It's hard..."

"Hehehehe... Yeah, I'm not good at it either..."

-Yuri chuckles and rubs the back of her head.-

"Hey, can we color the picture? We can make sure it looks really good!"

"O-Oh, um... Mr. Michael may have something in mind already, Yuri..."

Alchemy

-You got cpmplimented!-

[[red:-can't help but get a little flustered—no don't show it!-

Um—Yeah well, I like to focus on the end goal when I make things!

-he looks at the machine- But I'm thinking I could do more with this picture and some other things.

-think think- I guess that's fine. I mean I need more than paper for it.

Authority Shuttle

-Dave examines the text parser-

i wonder how shitty an idea typing something in is

theres a motherfuckin grue over here in your shit
what will you do?

the grue understands that you share his inability to contain the torrent of shit in your ass
but still kills you splattering brown water all over the room

Were the stakes not so high, I would suggest that just to see if it does anything amusing. Programmers leave all sorts of easter eggs in places one would not expect in the slightest.

(Near sits at Dave's feet, using a little handheld laser cutter deal on a hunk of metal.)

Authority Shuttle

just seems like it wants a response in the box
its calling my name
metaphorically speaking of course

Authority Shuttle

You mean like this?

…

(Shuts his flesh eye, his cybernetic one glowing red.)

Dave. This mission is too important for me to jeopardize it. What do you think you're doing, Dave?

Authority Shuttle

kinda like that if like that translated to no in japanese

Authority Shuttle

(Soft scoffy chuckle.)

I'm Japanese just because my career peaked in Japan and I consume only Japanese media and sometimes I say things in Japanese to Japanese people?

Authority

yeah pmuch
i dont make the japan rules
take it up with the emperor of you dont like it

Kinnikuman - Authority Shuttle

(@Near) I'm in the same boat as you. Born on a different planet, but I consider my homeland Japan.

Authority Shuttle

That could go either way, Dave... On one hand, I saved Japan from the scourge of Kira. On the other, I'm pasty and foreign-looking and don't use honorifics correctly.

(Smiles at Kinikkuman.)

Lovely place, isn't it? Only reason I didn't stay is there's such dense crowds and high social expectations... which is of course why I returned to New York City and its dense crows and gutter-bucket social expectations.

Kinnikuman - Shuttle

(@Near) Agreed. My Japan expected me to be a great hero, but they laughed at me when I failed.

Authority Shuttle

Peripa worked at a furious pace for a few hours, screens switching back and forth via her mechanical arms and keyboard clicking away incessantly all the same. She occasionally paused to take notes and jot things down for further reference but remained more or less silent aside from intermittent mutters and asides to herself in esoteric languages.

After a while she popped her head up and shoved the screens out of the way to catch the attention of any in the room.

With that, she went back to her work, plugging the hard drive into another outlet on her computer and resuming her ceaseless typing.

-Luffy stares at Peripa and her screen, rubbing his chin in deep thought-

......So what you're saying is.....

...This ship.....

Is actually a Dog.......

Alchemy room

-SPEAKING OF USELESS STEERING WHEELS!!!!-

-Michael returns with a couple destroyed spoons and a lamp he plans to take apart-

Okay I hope these will be enough-
