[Sky looks like he hasn't slept in days.]

I hate to ask something like this, but...

Does anyone have a garage they might be willing to rent me?

[M'stra's in a garden, pruning back some overgrown bushes into a decent shape with... uh... scary scissor hands she has shape shifted for herself. Nice.]

There's a three- car garage on my property - seperate from the main house - that no one is using. You may have to share with some garden tools but I'd be happy to offer you the space, it's not as if I need it for anything.

You look a wreck dear, are you quite alright?

[notyourchauffer]

O-oh! That would be wonderful. I'd pay whatever you want to rent it. And I promise I'll clear out all my thing every night. Miss- uhm. I'm sorry- I don't... think we've met. My name is Skyfire.

And oh- I'm alright. Just a little overworked, you know.

[martianmonster]

You look it, dear.

Of course, I'll figure out what would be an appropriate sum. The address is here and you can feel free to leave your things in place. Like I said I don't use the building for anything.

[she smiles]

I'm M'stra. It's a pleasure to meet you Skyfire.

[notyourchauffer]

The pleasure is all mine, M'stra. Truly, thank you so very much.

[martianmonster]

Not at all, Skyfire.

You're one of the ones who used to be a robot back at home, right? You all have the most interesting names.

[video; location scrambled, private]

[notyourchauffer]

Oh! Yes... I am. Thank you. I always thought my name was rather plain, but it's flattering nonetheless. I suppose- mm. Cultural differences. I don't think I've ever heard of a name like yours, either.

[video; location scrambled, private]

[martianmonster]

Well, I'm Martian by birth, thus the name.

[She pauses in her pruning, smiling interestedly]

So, might I ask because I've always been curious, what were you like as a robot? Much bigger I imagine?

[video; location scrambled, private]

[notyourchauffer]

Oh? What was your world like?

Mmm- oh yes. Much bigger. I was a shuttle-class mech, so I was much larger than most of my brethren even. I was made to do large scale transport. My primary colors were white and red.

[martianmonster]

In it's prime beautiful, carnal, ruled by the strong. It was a lovely place.

Oh my, it must be so disconcerting to be so small now, no?

[video; location scrambled, private]

[notyourchauffer]

Was?

A fair bit. I am used to it now, though. If anything my size was more of an obstacle than a benefit.

[martianmonster]

I'm the last of my kind now. My race and my homeworld have been destroyed by the humans of my universe.

[bitter? why yes. that expression is cool and angry at the same time, but she puts a smile back on]

Ah, adaptation. The most useful of all traits, truly. You make a handsome enough human, at that.

[video; location scrambled, private]

[notyourchauffer]

Oh... I'm very sorry. I sort of know the feeling, really...

Yes, I must say while I do long for my wings, I enjoy being human. Oh-oh my thank you. My goodness you'll make me blush.

[video; location scrambled, private]

[martianmonster]

It will be alright. I will rebuild it as best I can.

I'm sure there's a way around that wing problem somewhere. Have you thought of hang-gliding perhaps?

[video; location scrambled, private]

[notyourchauffer]

I hope you do well.

Well, I can still fly, however it is more... the appendages themselves in a way. It is not a very logical notion, as my powers serve the same purpose, but I do take a small amount of room to be sentimental, I suppose.

[video; location scrambled, private]

[martianmonster]

Thank you, I appreciate the vote of encouragement.

Logic rarely brings us the best things in life.

[notyourchauffer]

Ahh but so much pain can be avoided as well.
