Second Shot. [Accidental Video]

[immortal_shot]

[The lighting is poor, but that definitely seems to be Balthier, possibly in his room, and a worktable full of various clockwork parts and trinkets-- not all of which may have been sold to him

Comments

[girl_unlocking]

W-wow. Do you make shoes, too?

[immortal_shot]

[Balthier blinks, coming out of his engineer's reverie. His sarcasm seems unimpaired, though.]

Certainly, if you'd like them entirely watch-like in shape.

[voice]

[girl_unlocking]

Can you do that?! I ...have some made of gears and little windy things a-and...

[and it's video!]

[She's sticking her foot up toward the Forge. It's wearing this, only it's not a heel, it's a flat. And it's got watchparts and geariness on the sides.]

See? They even tick sometimes. And they're voice activated!

[Voice]

[immortal_shot]

...I may have neglected to mention that shoe-making has never been my past time of choice.

Although I suppose voice-activated footwear would keep one thoroughly entertained.

[yetsleeping]

Hello!

Um. What are you doing?

[immortal_shot]

[Balthier will blink a bit. Oh hey, he's spoken to you before, hasn't he?]

This and that. A trip to the Tunnelmen was most revealing.

[yetsleeping]

Really? I mostly find them a little... confusing. I mean most of the time! What did they reveal?

Was it interesting?

[immortal_shot]

Greed, pockets, and whatever else lies on the table.

[Balthier makes an airy gesture at the expanse of his work desk.]

I admit, I was hoping for more than these trifles.

Looks like a fine mess you've got there, mate. Interested in sharing with the class?

voice, because his hands are full

[immortal_shot]

There's not much the uninitiated would learn from me or mine.

text, because he is too lazy to talk

[onetoignite]

Well I'm no clockwork expert, but I'd like to think I've advanced a little beyond uninitiated.

To each their own, Balthier comments.

[immortal_shot]

You don't say. What type of grease monkey are you then, anonymous one?

[video]

[roboterpolizist]

You are interested in machinery?

[video]

[immortal_shot]

Born and raised to it. I hardly had any say in the matter.

[Not to say he isn't darned good at it, though.]

And you are?

[video]

[roboterpolizist]

[Gesicht pauses, tilting his head slightly to one side.]

In a sense.

I am a machine.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

...You don't say. Are we waxing poetic or is this fact?

[Robots definitely don't exist to this level of sophistication, where he's from.]
