Second Discovery

[saikyocivrobo]

[White Chalice's kitchen. A pot of water is boiling on one of the counters. The tiny robot that some might know under the name of Prometheus is jumping up and down, trying to reach it - but that's not an easy feat when you're just one foot tall. Also, a band-aid has appeared on its head recently for some reason. Approach? Observe? Help out?]

[The robot's small statute and focus on the pot doesn't let him see that a figure's coming from behind, and after a moment takes the pot in one hand.]

There we go... you needed this?

[saikyocivrobo]

[The robot nods energetically and jumps up and down again, reaching with both of its hands for the pot. Futilely, for now.]

[l_has_a_keikaku]

I'll take that as a yes.

[Carefully, Ryo kneels down and places the pot safely on the ground next to the robot. And not a moment too soon; his arms feel like they're going to fall off!]

Shameless copy-paste

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus downs the whole pot of boiling water in one prolonged sip, then sets it aside and lets out a satisfied cloud of steam. How can he do all of this without having a mouth is a mystery of the ages. He gives Ryo a thumb up.]

[l_has_a_keikaku]

A robot that needs water to continue to operate...

[Ryo looks on in amusement and interest, wondering just what else the steam's used for.]

[saikyocivrobo]

[The machine grabs the empty pot and gives it to Ryo, staring at him like a kid demanding candy.]

[l_has_a_keikaku]

I take it you want more, hmm?

Well, you'll have to be a little patient. It takes time to boil. Still...

[Ryo picks up the pot again, much easier now that there's not so much water weighing it down, and fills it up with water before putting it on the stove again.]

This body of mine can't do much, but this isn't too bad.

[saikyocivrobo]

[The robot rubs its chin-equivalent thoughtfully, and after a short moment raises its finger to the sky triumphantly! It beckons for Ryo to follow it.]

[l_has_a_keikaku]

[Glancing back at the stove, Ryo turns down the heat so it won't boil over too quickly before following after Prometheus.]

Okay then. Just make it quick, okay?

[saikyocivrobo]

[The robot leads him to... the gym? It points at its door, looks at him questioningly, then does some pretend weight lifting and flexes its muscles. Although it doesn't seem like it has any.]

[l_has_a_keikaku]

[It doesn't take long for Ryo to figure out what the robot wants him to do, but he just sighs and shakes his head.]

No can do... I'm not the kind of person who can bulk up. Not that I wouldn't mind but, well when you have anemia, it kinda limits your options.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus ponders for a while, then runs off. He returns a moment later, carrying a computer keyboard. He lifts it several times above his head, then looks at Ryo expectingly.]
