Mello (and Matt? IDK) - Open

[heresygrenade]

[Fact is, Mello doesn't give a shit about robots. Still, new things are always interesting, especially in Anatole, city of the eternal unchanging everything. Christ, it's been a long time since anything interesting happened.]

[At least by his definition of interesting.]

[Besides, Matt was going to run off and go no matter what he did, and Dismas isn't exactly the sort of place one wants their partners running around in unprotected. Piles of garbage indeed.]

[So, Mello arrives, all skin-tight black leather and fur-lined jacket, a chocolate bar in one gloved hand, the other resisting resisting the urge to swat that cigarette out of Matt's hand - or snatch it up, himself, can't quite decide. They take seats, and wait.]

[ooc: Well they came together so they're on the same thread, but feel free to address either of them individually, sob.]

Have an EVE :3

[will_shoot]

[Addressing ... both. She is a little giddy.]

This is very exciting! I did not know of any robots built specifically for fighting, although I did know a masseuse-bot who malfunctioned and was able to defeat an entire flank of steward-bots. That turned out to be very good for my friends and I, actually.

yay, an EVE! :D /hugs it

[onetoignite]

[It turns out Matt does give a shit about robots, and the sad fact is he expects to spend his time discerning just how said robots work, rather than paying attention to what they're doing.]

[Which suits him just fine.]

[And he can't help but smirk at the contrast between the silent, leather-clad Mello and cheerful Eve, and he turns to her when she starts talking.]

Sorry, did you say a masseuse-bot? They have those? Fucking hell, look what I've been missing this whole time on shitty... boring earth.

[And he nudges Mello, as if it's his fault he never got a masseuse-bot.]

/HUGS IT TOO

[heresygrenade]

[...And here comes all the social rot. Mello snaps a piece of chocolate off of his bar and licks the edge, and is well-into ignoring all the talking around him until Matt gives him that nudge.]

[He jabs Matt back, a little harder, but not hard enough to hurt, and glances up at EVE.]

Christ. This place has too many perky blondes.

[And perky people in general. In fact, why not just ban perk altogether. He leans back a little, crossing one leg over the other.]

Didn't have much in the way of robots kicking around where we come from, but fuck, that's what those overpriced leather chairs are for.

/IS AN EVE SANDWICH

[will_shoot]

[EVE nods sagely at Matt,]

Yes, we did. There were 'bots for everything, on the Axiom. But, we did not have battle-bots.

[Then, EVE hears that comment from Mello and whips around, mood changing from Perky to Pissed in an instant. He should be very glad that her gun-arm doesn't work down here.]

It is my first time as a human. I did not have any choice in the color of my hair. I am sorry if it is causing you distress. As for my attitude, I have a particular interest in robots, so I will not be apologizing for being enthusiastic in seeing them.

/bites noms

[onetoignite]

[Everything but fighting robots... well, that was still good. He takes a moment to imagine a whole world filled with little robots everywhere, which almost makes him miss that hair color comment and its result.]

[Almost.]

[Okay, not really - he couldn't miss two blonds fighting around him.]

Hey, easy. He didn't mean it like... well... I guess he sort of did, but let's not lose our heads over it. We're here to enjoy the show, yeah?

[He has to raise his voice a little to be heard over a new roar from the crowd, which is sort of weird, but he's glad when they quiet down again.]

Well, some of us, heh. Anyway, it's a nice color.

[...he glances at Mello.]

/omnomnom

[heresygrenade]

[Well, Mello's rolling his eyes, which isn't especially different or notable considering how often he does that.]

[He follows it up with a somewhat shark-like little smirk.]

Too many bitchy blondes, too.

[...not that he knows anything about that.]

Whatever. Looks like everyone's on the robotrain these days. As for me, didn't give a shit about them at home, don't give a shit about them now.

[He's about to take another bite of that chocolate bar when he doubles back, really hearing what EVE said for the first time. That prompts a raised eyebrow, a twisted mouth.]

The fuck do you mean it's your first time as a human?

[will_shoot]

[EVE settles back in her chair with a little 'hmph' and tries to focus on the battling bots on Matt's suggestion - there was a part of her that wanted to analyze their techniques; there might be something she could use herself out on patrol.]

[She tries to ignore Mello for the most part, but when he addresses her she can't help but glance sidelong at him.]

I was a robot in my own world, but that would not interest you.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY!

[heresygrenade]

[Quite the contrary, really. That IS something interesting. He raises an eyebrow and leans over.]

Right, want to say that again? You don't look very robotic to me.
