Another weird OC for SRWU

[jianai]

[1]
[You're doing something troublesome. Peeling potatoes in the kitchen? Fixing a mecha? Bandaging up wounded before they bleed to death? It makes no difference because suddenly!]

Hello there. My name is Ren Ubuntu. Allow me to lend a hand if you don't mind?

[A weird person appears. Are those horns real? Not waiting for your answer, Ren starts to help with whatever you're doing.]

[2]
[Time for a mecha piloting exercise.]

I'm sorry, I wish I could turn it off. It... gets rather embarassing sometimes, really.

[Ren's training Genoace has a golden halo around its head for some reason. It's like an orthodox icon. If those were mobile suits.]

[3]
Oh my. Really?

So we're doing this now?

[Ren wants to use gender-segregated facilities, like a bathroom or a changing room. Despite the choice words, this weird horned person seems amused rather than annoyed. Then they just turn for the room with a shorter waiting line.]

[4]
[Combat prompt. And it's not doing well.

Someone just suffered from a deadly hit - beam saber to the cockpit, giant beam, this kind of thing. It could be an ally. It could be you. But as it happens, a flash of light momentarily blinds everyone.]

Ahh... ahh... I made it! Just in time.

[The pilot who was to suffer the killing blow is totally unhurt - even if their ride is still damaged. While Ren stands nearby, looking relieved. And also covered in blood, huge gaping wounds covering their body.]

Thank... goodness...

[Collapse.]

...oh, umm....

[Fidget fidget fidget]

[jianai]

Is something the matter?

[brought_it_back]

...In that men's room...

...You can't see it at first, but the lock on the third stall is misaligned...if you try to close it, it won't stay shut...

...I left some notes for the janitor in his bedroom about it, but he didn't read them...

[jianai]

You are very alert. Thank you, I will remember this.

Do you know the janitor so well that he lets you into his bedroom?

[brought_it_back]

No, we haven't spoken.

...but, it's not hard to get into. And he sleeps very deeply.

[jianai]

My. So you are skilled at more than just mindful awareness, I see.

[brought_it_back]

Everyone needs a hobby.

...if the horns are an accessory, then...why do you wear them?

[jianai]

Oh, I'm really sorry for tricking you, but that was a joke.

They're real.

[brought_it_back]

A bad joke, too...

...Are you another alien, then? Or something else?

[jianai]

Everyone's such a critic. Oh well.

No, I am not an alien. I am an artificially created human-like being.

[brought_it_back]

...Created by who?

[jianai]

People who are no longer with us, and have not been for a long, long time.

I cannot say I even knew them personally.

[brought_it_back]

...How wonderfully specific.

[jianai]

I'm really sorry.
