Action: for the good folks on the caprine, or anybody visiting.
When: right now? right now!!!

[ Whether you're new to the ship or happy to be back or really mad to be back...you're here. That's what matters.

Because it's a mingle post. You know how it is. ]

What are you going to do if I don't? [ His reply is absentminded; he's watching things fold and unfold with every sign of enjoyment.

The whirring going on throughout every part of his body is audible, at least on a background noise level. ] Whatever. Since you asked so nicely, you're on the SS Caprine.

With that kind of personality, you'll be fine here.

It seems like there's no need to tell you. [ 'Another hero?" is Genos' first thought—there's a few others who have mechanical bodies, some even more so than him. ] I've said only a few words. You can tell my personality from that?

[ Amazingly, he's not being sarcastic. Entirely. ]

[electrostatics]

[ If Genos had said that 'hero' thought out loud, Elecman would have laughed at him. It might have continued for a little bit. ]

It's just extrapolating based on what data I currently have. [ He shrugs, as if to say: prove me wrong. ] But how you approach people you don't know can say a lot.

[ He makes snap judgements. It's a bad habit, but it's also something of a defense mechanism. He's trying to ease off on it, at least.

Maybe. ]

[ The bad guys aren't usually so colourful as robots!! ]

I'd think this situation would be unexpected for most people—and not an ideal place for determination of my character, if that matters.

[electrostatics]

[ HE COMES FROM A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE LOOKS JUST AS COLOURFUL AS THIS, SADLY, SO HE'D LAUGH AT YOU...what a great personality he has ]

...I'm not that concerned with fully evaluating your character, you know. It's none of my business what you feel like doing, as long as it doesn't hurt the ship. [ Another shrug. ] So, are you a robot or what?

[enhances]

[ Well, even if he suddenly decided that Genos was the coolest guy alive, it wouldn't matter to him. He has his own goals! And the strongest role model! He needs to get back to that— ]

I'm a cyborg. What are you?

[electrostatics]

Oh, a cyborg, huh. Guess there's a first time for everything.

I'm an AI, but Atroma gave me a robot body that looks exactly like I would in a digital space. [ So yes...he looks like this all the time...giant pylons and all. ] It's pretty interesting, interacting with physical objects.

[enhances]

[ An AI. It's not a cyborg, which is one of the few things that immediately interests him, but it's nothing to sneeze at, either. ]

Do you often need repair?

[ Because... Genos does.

A lot.

He doesn't care about his defense, so that ends really, really poorly for him. ]

[electrostatics]

I've got a self-repair system, but I haven't had to put it to work yet. Are you looking to get busted up or something? Between me and Mal, we'll work out a way to fix you if you do. [ What a vote of confidence. ]

[enhances]

I'm a cyborg of justice, registered with the Heroes Association. Damage and upgrades to my body have... been things I've gone through before.

[ A LOT. ]

[electrostatics]

A cyborg of justice...That's an interesting job name. [ The 'justice' part is more surprising than the 'cyborg' part, though not by much. ]

Oh, you're one of those guys who puts a lot of strain on your body, aren't you? [ He clicks his fingers, absentmindedly producing a bright spark of electricity. ] I guess I'm gonna have to stock up on more metal when we dock again.

So, what kind of criminals do you like to punch? [ There's certain connotations with the word 'hero', after all. ]

[enhances]

[ "strain" yes... right.... ]

My master is the one who punches his enemies. I incinerate them with my cannons.

[ He says, still sounding like it's normal. ]

[electrostatics]

[ constantly wrecking yourself counts as strain ]

Really got the no-tolerance policy thing going, huh. [ That's pretty overkill, but he doesn't say that. ]

I guess if I asked you for a demonstration, you'd probably wreck the ship...so that's a no.

You didn't really answer my question, did you? Or does incinerating apply to all criminals? [ now he's just being pedantic for the sake of it ]

[enhances]

Not all of them, no. I would not kill someone for petty theft, for example. Well, most of my kills have been monsters anyway.

[electrostatics]

Is that so? Good to hear. I thought you were some kind of paladin or something. [ Elecman, no, that's Magicman's job to make the shitty RPG jokes... ]

You must be pretty busy if your world needs some kind of organised hero group.

[enhances]

[ There's probably some hero who calls themselves a paladin. They're not in S-Class, though!!! ]

I live in Z-City, where monster attacks happen weekly, if not more often. There's always human crime too.

[ Though the police and C-Class usually handle those. ]
