[video;]

[Today there's a blue fish lady onscreen. She ROARS and slams a conjured lance through the nearest table, splitting it in half. Poor hospitality deck, it never asked for this. She grabs the spear and looks at the console with a discerning yellow eye. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch and a bit of red hair.]

No one captures me. Not unless they have a DEATH WISH!

[She brandishes her spear with a twirl and shoves it solidly into the floor. Her grin shows jagged sharky teeth, and it nearly splits her face in half. Is she making you uneasy? Good.]

It's been a while since I had a real fight. Come out of hiding, cowards! I'll show you why I was made captain of the Royal Guard!

[A captain in... a muscle tank and skinny jeans, sure. Whatever.]

Comments

[electrostatics]

I don't need bandages unless it's to hold myself together while my self-repair works. [ This person reminds him of Fireman..how nostalgic. ] But you definitely sound like you're up to the challenge of facing me.

[ Elecman please don't let your ego get in the way ] With an attitude like that...Do you have a security module?

[fishwife]

Of course I am! I don't back down from ANYTHING.

[His question is a bit strange, and she blinks.] Security module? Is that some kind of robot thing?

[electrostatics]

Heh, good. [ Elecman's already enthusiastic... ]

All the passengers have a module at the base of their skull somewhere. [ He knows...from painful experience.. ] Different ones feed you different information, depending on your role on your ship...well, when you get one, anyway. I'm an engineer.

[fishwife]

[Looks like they won't be short on enthusiasm for a while.]

Oh. That thing. [Ugh.] No, I'm supposed to be a cook. [She shrugs.] I can cook and fight, so I'm not bothered by that.

I'm bothered by the fact they PUT SOMETHING IN MY HEAD.

[electrostatics]

Hope you like cooking with food gels. That's pretty much everything they have here.

[ He just frowns a little. ] You can try taking it out, but I wouldn't if I were you. [ He knows from experience. Amazingly painful experience. ]

[fishwife]

Is that better or worse than snails?

[His tone and expression is enough to warn her.]

Is it one of those things where if you touch it you basically wish you were dead? UGH. The least they could do is make it look cool, like a piercing or something...

[electrostatics]

[ He looks slightly confused. ]

Nothing in the kitchen is supposed to taste like snails, as far as I'm aware. But apparently the texture isn't to some people's liking.

[ He just kind of rolls his eyes. ]

Making it look cool is beyond Atroma's powers, I guess. But as long as you don't try to remove it, you can probably touch it fine.

[fishwife]

[She is so tired of snails. It's not even like she understood how tired she was of snails until she got to the surface and had real spaghetti.]

Monster food ain't that great. If humans can eat it, it's fine.

... Probably.

What's your name, anyway?

[electrostatics]

Snails are monster food? Humans eat snails too. [ And give it fancy names and cook it to not taste like snails at all, because humans are weird ]

Me? The name's Elecman. I don't think I caught yours, unless you're one of those 'title-only' people.

[fishwife]

Really? I haven't seen that yet. Snails are basically all we have in the Underground, so...

[That makes her laugh.] Fuhuhu!! I wish! My name's Undyne. If I could go by a title, I'd pick something like... the UNDYING. And then I'd smash anyone who tried to prove me wrong!

[Elecman isn't even a weird name. Consider: that hotman kid.]

[electrostatics]

Yeah, some humans eat them. I don't know why, when they have other things to eat, but it's not like I need to eat. [ He shrugs. ] Maybe it's something I'm missing.

So if you had a full title, it'd be 'Undyne the Undying'? Sounds pretty catchy.

[ He likes the way the name sounds. As a navi, names are shorthand for identification, strings of data that provide context and understanding of what the being standing in front of them is. As a physical being - he doesn't have that innate sense, and he pays attention to sounds more. ]

Did you live in a cave or something? [ The Underground? Sounds like a video game level..or a train system. ]
