[Donatello sounds far more excited than anyone, including his brothers, have probably heard him sound in a while.]

Confirmed!

Two weeks of less-than-stellar interaction over the network - which, in this case, possibly means instigating a conversation yourself instead of only replying to others - equates to a penalty. A spray of water in this case;

Funny. You'd think water'd short this thing out.

[tic_tech_turtle]

You would, but no one seems concerned about it potentially running out.

You've only recently arrived, haven't you? Have you heard about the caves yet?

[onlyajackass]

Just arrived last night, actually. I'm Gippal. And caves really aren't my thing.

[He does not need to experience another Den of Woe, thankyouverymuch]

[tic_tech_turtle]

Hrm. Welcome, then, and pleased to meet you. I'm Donatello.

The caves are full of water. And carnivorous fish, but mostly water.

[onlyajackass]

You too.

Water and carnivorous fish. Sounds like a party. But I'll pass.

[tic_tech_turtle]

Same here. Though it does go to show that water isn't much of an issue on this boat.

At least not a particularly pressing one.

[onlyajackass]

Seems so, since they got it spraying out of their machina. The tools I brought with me kinda suck, so I can't take it apart until I get some better stuff.

[tic_tech_turtle]

"Machina"? I haven't heard that particular word before.

If you find tools anywhere it will likely be on Deck 12.

[onlyajackass]

Machine. It's changed to machine in the last few years. But old habits and stuff.

Deck 12. I'll keep that mind. Need to find out what deck I'm on first.

[tic_tech_turtle]

Do you know a lot about your machines?

What are your surroundings? I may be able to help.

[onlyajackass]

Nobody knows machina better than an Al Bhed. Spend a lot of time takin' 'em apart and putting them back together.

[He's outside of his bedroom anyway. Hey look there's a sign by this strange lift.]

Giant bees? The hell kind of boat is this?

[tic_tech_turtle]

That's the best way to learn. You're an Al Bhed?

...I can't say I've ever seen a giant bee.

[onlyajackass]

That I am.

There's a sign out here. Think I went to far.

[So he'll turn back and go the other way. Sign by the stairwell says deck 6.]

Deck 6? That mean anything to you?

[tic_tech_turtle]

Yes, that's my deck.

[he contemplates sticking his head out the door, then decides to wait for a few moments]

Is your room on this floor?

[onlyajackass]

Yep. Room...7395. You around?

[tic_tech_turtle]

I am.

[yes, that is the sound of a doorknob turning and Don stepping from his room to see if he can find this strange new person.]

[Commentlog? Or does Don just spy on him all ninja-like?]
