mingle a little Mor tonight

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

[what can I say? some guy is fed up with the annoying robot that's trying to bar him from leaving. depending on whether or not your module is on, he either looks like a guy in skull facepaint with glowing orange eyes, or a totally normal dude with boring brown eyes. he stands in front of it, dully glaring at its shiny metal face as it quips out protocol.]

Warning! Return to the designated testing area.

[he tries to step the other way. it happens again.]

Warning! User is not authorized--

[he decides he should PUNCH IT INSTEAD. with a satisfying metal bang, the robot rocks backwards... but leans upright again a moment later, while Zhas is shaking out his sore fingers. he might as well have just punched a steel wall. ow...]

[ .... Definitely ... just watched most of that go down.

... she isn't really condoning punching the robots, but at the same time, it's not really a good idea, probably ... ]


Uh ... are you okay? [ That looked like it hurt lmfao ]

[he looks over at her... nods his head, shrugs a little. flexes his fingers a little. it wasn't so bad.

the robot seems to try to move forward, perhaps to herd Zhas out of the way, but Zhas doesn't even look like he's paying attention--so it just inches back and forth in front of him.]
ino: (I don't get it.)

It might be a good idea to the listen to the thing. I don't know if you wanna get stuck in jail.

[ Last month's jail was pretty bad, but she knows it could have definitely been ... worse ]

[...the girl human has a point. this is obnoxious. being in jail would be more obnoxious. hrm.

he sighs, but... finally steps away from the robot, sure. he'll go be difficult somewhere else. maybe deal with the test. he doesn't know.]
ino: (Pardon?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-09 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You might as well just let them tell you about the planet. It doesn't take that long.

[ Now, she's met some quiet people, but ... is this guy actually mute? Huh.

At least he's not a loudmouth religious crazypants. That would definitely be a trigger. ]


Well ... [ She shrugs ] It's up to you. But they seem pretty serious about it.

[While Mattias is usually all for stupid decisions, there are some that just aren't worth it. Like punching robots that may or may not be equipped for harm over a quiz. It's a waste of energy and despite it having nothing to do with him, he intervenes anyway, hands raised as he slips between man and machine.]

You know, at this point, I'm fairly certain you're not allowed to enter.

[He smiles but it's stretched. The look of a man toeing boundaries. He ducks his head slightly.] But, that's fine. The test to get in is very simple and entirely unchanging. If you're having trouble with it-[You're an idiot.]-you can...

[He trails off, uncertain where he was going. Or why he even began. What was he doing here? Why should he care if the man futilely grazed his knuckles over something so stupid?

Because it was stupid, and the fact that even he could recognize that was annoying enough to have it dealt with.
] ... ask for help! From me.

[No. No, he doesn't want to do that.]

[most people would take a step back, what with the sudden intrusion into their personal space. Zhas, however, stays exactly where he is and doesn't seem to notice that they are now uncomfortably close together.

he also gives Mattias the exact same glare that he seems to give everything by default, looking over the details of his face, perhaps giving the impression that he is not at all listening to anything that this thing that is making noise has to say to him.

suddenly, he draws his arm back like he's going to punch him.]

[personal profile] noctiphile 2015-03-09 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mattias' tone falls flat.]

Same answer as before, then. Not a very creative one, are you?

[His hands are still up, though. He won't retaliate nor will he relent. Punches have long since lost their threat.] The first answer is no.

[A beat.] It's for the quiz, but it's also applicable to now.

[personal profile] theboogieman 2015-03-09 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[WOW HE BARELY EVEN MOVED.

Zhas does not punch him. he puts his arm down, tilting his head a little. watching his face more. Zhas is now much more interested in Mattias than he is in the robot. his glare lessons, though there's not exactly much expression rushing in to replace it. it still looks like he's not really listening.

which makes it kind of surprising when he leans forward to smell him. not touching him, but you know. near his face. kind of by his neck. not unlike an animal.]
noctiphile: (flo rida rapping too fast)

[personal profile] noctiphile 2015-03-09 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[To say that was unexpected would be to call a mountain "big". The word doesn't fit. It doesn't even come close. Though the urge is there to shy away from the... sniff, he resists for fear of offense. For all he knows, it could be a form of greeting. There was no need to assume he was strange.

Even if he was.

Still, it puzzled him that he didn't know how to reciprocate. Was it customary to stand still or was he supposed to sniff back? Perhaps neither was an option and the sniffing was his cue to perform some intricate dance maneuver. He just didn't know.
]

I have to admit, I'm rather confused right now.
theboogieman: (→ ᴇ ɴ ɢ ᴀ ɢ ᴇ)

[personal profile] theboogieman 2015-03-09 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[he doesn't seem to mind. whatever he was trying to accomplish by doing this... maybe he learns something, maybe he doesn't. either way, he returns to his previous posture...

...but fuck it, decides to punch him anyway. in the arm. not very hard (though "not very hard" for Zhas is still probably going to hurt).]
noctiphile: (hey i heard you were a wild one)

[personal profile] noctiphile 2015-03-09 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't hurt but not because the punch isn't strong. Mattias can feel it, see it, knows it will leave a bruise but the pain doesn't register. He doesn't even flinch, just rocks back slightly. A motion caused by the force.

So no, it doesn't hurt, but it does annoy and before he even thinks about customs or etiquette, he's returning it. Punching him in the opposite arm. Lightly. And then letting the arm flap to his side.

Woooow, that was truly impressive. Really, I think you might've smudged its casing a little.

and steps aside.

and gestures to the robot.

like you want to fucking try punching out this guy? because he will watch.]

[ She actually considers it for a moment, eyeing the robot up and down. But that's some extremely solid-looking construction, and she's pretty sure she doesn't want this to be the hill her hand dies on. ]

[ah, so she can see it. he drops his arms, rolls his eyes a little. he's not going to get a robot fight out of this. that makes the whole thing much less interesting.

maybe he'll go do something else. the robot quips one final warning before heading away, off to do its robot duties.]

[oh, very helpful. Zhas looks over and...

uh... well, he stares at him. forgets everything he was doing and flat-out stares at him. the robot tries, in vain, to herd Zhas over a little, but since Zhas doesn't move, it just ineffectually inches back and forth in his direction a couple of times..]
