Welcome to the Haran mansion, where many things are present, as well as your gracious host, Banjou himself. There's a pool, tennis court, gym, shooting range, even a large dining hall.

"Please, make yourself at home. Everything you see is at your disposal, and if you need more, Garrison is also available. Dinner will be at 8pm, with everyone so do try to attend."

How might you react to such a generous offer?

(1b)
Its 7:30 pm, sharp and there's a chime the good ol' Garrison's voice. "Dinner will be served at 8pm. Please gather in the dining hall."

With everyone invited, and a huge spread of food, what will you have, who will you sit by, and what will you bring up as table conversation.
(This prompt is a free-for-all.)

(1c; still inside the Haran manor.)
You've already been granted access to most anything in the massive estate, but by chance you open up a hidden panel in the study that reveals a massive super-computer. Shortly after an alarm goes off and there's Banjou there to close the room off. "And just what were you doing here?"

(2)
You, and your Mecha are facing off against a Megaborg, solo. Banjou hasn't arrived yet, and if you don't do something, the Meganoid menace will surely crush you and the city you're protecting in short order.

Just what will you do until the larger Daitarn 3 arrives.

Raquel had been more than a bit surprised to be invited over to Banjo's home. Given how her mother chose to raise her it's like being lost in some sort of fairy tale.

It takes her a good 60 second before she can manage a reply as she stares for half a second longer.

"Yes! Thank you I won't be late!"

This was real she'd never lived this posh, she thought her military quarters were decadence in and of itself.

"Good. You're free to explore the house as you like, Miss. If there's anything you need while you're here, then let myself or Garrison know. Hopefully we won't have to be dealing with any attacks while you and your team rest."

Banjou gives the girl a courteous bow.

"I'll do that but I don't think there's much I could need that you have not already offered."

She isn't sure what to do about the bow, as well her Mother cares for her but she may actually have been raised in an barn so she's looking a little lost.

As this is surely her first time, Banjou turns and begins to lead the way, baying the entrance he starts dictating directions to the pool, bedrooms, baths, gym, and so forth.

"Any questions so far, my lady?"

Raquel is looking to be almost overwhelmed by everything she's seeing as she follows along.

"How does one person use all this? I have to ask...Even if you have some staff can anyone actually put this all to use?"

xAll at once, likely not, but its my home. Better to have a facility and not need it, then need it and not have it." he responds rather casually. "I have friends that put it to use, but that's why I'm more than happy to share what others may need."

They pass a door but he mentions nothing of it, only to point out a hall of more rooms.

Raquel seems amused at the first bit of Banjo's response.

"An interesting way to put it. I'm pretty sure my Master would flip her lid about this though. Moving into the base was a step up in how posh my room was. This is something I couldn't dream of existing."

She follows after him as she makes note of the various rooms and their uses.

"Your master? What sort of 'master' might this be?" With so many connotations of the term, one can only hope that it's a statement of respect, and not otherwise.

"I'm sure this isn't much more than a temporary stay, but so long as you are an ally to the Unity group, I ask you make yourself at home."

"Martial Arts Master, the woman whose training me."

She doesn't even seem to get there might be other connotations to her statement.

"I will take you up on that, though some of the training facilities they have I'm afraid I might wreck some of the equipment really. I tend to be pretty hard on things and my Master is worse."

"Well then, all the more reason to update the equipment if it ends up being worn out." He doesn't take any other connotation to it either, and rather moves on with the conversation.

"If that does happen, be sure to let someone know. It won't do any good if we never know what's broken."

"No that's not what I mean, I mean actual breaking it. Any short of a heavily reinforced punching bag will not last the afternoon with me. All right if I do break anything I'll let you know."

She looks a bit sheepish from the looks of her at this point.

Hmm? Oh, I apologize. Didn't you say that everything I see is at my disposal?

That I did, however, it seems you've been prying around to find that. As well, you DID trigger an alarm.

[[Enjoy a little scolding first.]]

You said to make myself at home, and so I did. Looking around at everything carefully is what one would do in such situation. Was that not to be taken literally? I'm not familiar with all Earthling behaviours yet, I'm afraid.

...Though I can't help but wonder what does this computer hide. Is it very secret data?

It was more a statement of making yourself comfortable and relaxed.

The computer helps keep an eye out for Meganoids, as well as manages many of the mansion's automatic facilities, such as the the sprinklers, outdoor lights, repairs in the hangar, central air.

[[It seems much of the point was "don't go snooping"]]

Then if someone were to damage it, the whole mansion would go haywire and everyone inside would die from asphyxiation?

I think I know why you are so protective about it, now.

Hahah! No no, not the oxygen levels, just the air conditioning. No sense in cooling parts of the house that nobody is occupying.

Hmm...

[Is that disappointment?]

"Slagging Slaggity Slag! This wasn't what I signed up for!!!!"

Dido clutches at the mech's controls with sweaty slippery fingers, the heft and bulk of the ShelLancer unit she's piloting little comfort.

The Megaborg takes a step forward, brandishing it's weapons. With a desperate war cry, Dido breaks into a clumsy charge, and hits a big red panic button on her side.

"Activating Shell-Flak!"

Micro-railguns embedded in ShelLancer's armor discharge, firing a swarm of high-velocity shrapnel into the Megaborg's face like a landmine!

Dido winces at the vibrations that shudder through her cockpit. "Did that do it–?"
