...I apologize if my actions while cursed caused you any distress.

[child_radical]

Your actions...wait. Weren't you the person inside the machine yesterday?

[mechaeonical]

That is correct.

However, it would be more accurate to say that I was the machine, simply cursed to fulfill a very different function than normal.

[child_radical]

The machine? So are you saying that you're some form of robot?

[mechaeonical]

Again: that is correct.

[child_radical]

If you weren't made to do tarot readings, what were you made for originally?

[mechaeonical]

I was designed for combat. I am intended to defend humanity against a specific threat...however, that threat exists only in the world from which I came.

[child_radical]

Alien or supernatural in nature?

[mechaeonical]

It could most closely be described as supernatural, although to me it is simply a part of the natural order of things.

[child_radical]

I see. Well, what's your ID or name you were given?

[mechaeonical]

I am called Aigis.

[child_radical]

Aigis...like the shield from the Greek Myths?

[mechaeonical]

That is most likely the source, as I was designed for the defense of humanity, and myths shape the abilities I use for that purpose.

[child_radical]

Interesting. Oh, my name is Huey by the way, unless you remember it from reading my tarot yesterday.

[mechaeonical]

I remember, Huey-san. I required two Reds and a name to read the Tarot. I am unsure as to why.

[child_radical]

It was the curse which had you do such a thing, Aigis. At least you weren't thrown into a cage as a side show attraction.
