NOW APPROACHES THE WRITING BE DESCRIBED AS "TEST RUN"

1
[Walking past the offices late at night, you may see a light on. If you follow it, you are treated to a rather amusing sight. It seems that Kagura is filling up paperwork, as it's required of an officer of her ranking. Being an eight foot combat robot, however, the pen looks positively ridiculous in her hand, as if she was trying to write with a tiny toothpick - as does her hunched posture to try to write on the too small for her desk. A closer look reveals a pile of broken pens at the feet of the desk, so perhaps she's having as much trouble as it seems.

Then suddenly she gets up and kicks the solid oak table clean across the room in frustration, then stands there. Even with her lack of face, it's pretty obvious that the robot officer is pretty fed up with whatever bureaucracy she's having to fill out. Also that she hasn't seen you yet, since she tries to not have these outbursts where people can see her.

Want to cheer her up, give her a hand, laugh at her?]

[You made a remark on something being cute. Perhaps it was a performance, another teammate, an idol, or even clothing. Whatever it was, the synthesized voice of Kagura pops up]

AND THAT IS GOOD, IS IT. THINGS LIKE CUTE, OR BEAUTIFUL, ARE JUST WHAT PEOPLE CALL THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY ACTUAL, USEFUL QUALITIES.

[Man, Kagura, you are such a downer.]

3
[Fight time!

The fight against mutual enemies has been pretty tough, and you've been about holding out for most of it. Things are starting to turn around, though - it looks like we are regaining the upper hand at last and have some more room to breathe! Surely now it's time for an heroic charge to finish this! What does Kagura say?]

BEGIN AN ORDERLY RETREAT. I REPEAT, WE ARE RETREATING.

[Wait what?]

{Kouichi just sort of stares at the bizarre sight for a moment before he finally says something] ... Maybe you should ask them to scale up your writing tools?
herodrawing: (Eeeh?!)

Ehh?

Ms Kagura, I didn't expect you to have an opinion about this! More importantly, is that really what you believe?

[ Whatever reason Kzth had to go slithering through the offices at this hour, it can most definitely empathize. ]

Ok see that's why I keep telling you people to go digital.
herodrawing: (Awkward conversation)

[personal profile] herodrawing 2014-03-12 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't think that's entirely true.
abugslife: (oh? how amusing)

[No, Heph wouldn't actually say "cute" in a normal circumstances like that. She's just commenting as a third faction/peanut gallery.]

Hmm? What was that earthling phrase...

Oh yes. Sour grapes?

I mean, just because something is cute doesn't mean it can't be useful. It's just an extra, so it doesn't hurt anyone.

That's like saying you can't be a hero if you're tall. And that's not true, right?
herodrawing: (Leave it to me)

[personal profile] herodrawing 2014-03-12 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
See? So you can't just go around saying that something is useless, you never know. That's not what a real hero would do, anyway.

Are you sure? From all species I know, earthlings in particular seem to be obsessed with the idea of young women being cute. And a large, bulky robot frame does not meet the criteria for many people.

[personal profile] herodrawing 2014-03-12 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
By the way. I think robots can be cute too.
abugslife: (extremely expressive face)

[personal profile] abugslife 2014-03-12 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Pardon me if I am intruding on a private matter, but did something cute kill your family?
xenobiology301: (Stripped and cleaned before your eyes)

[personal profile] xenobiology301 2014-03-12 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What, for all your dudes? That's total bullshit. Why don't they just have you chisel it down on stone tablets while they're at it?

That means, one day you might be able to meet someone who finds you cute, ms Kagura!

[Kei walks in on the rather bizarre scene. Stopping to look for just a second, the question of whether to actually interrupt hanging in the air.]

[personal profile] mechafacetakewarning 2014-03-12 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, really? [That gives him pause, and startles him out of the absurdity he just witnessed.]

What about a machine that translates motions to a smaller scale? [no need for large paper in that case.]
