Stalking, Observation, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu has noticed that certain members of the Chalice have been acting strangely lately so it has been following couples with a notepad. It even goes as far as to spy on sappy moments between couples, writing notes the whole time with contemplative look on its' face. Anyone going to try and call Tatsu out/stop it?!

Suddenly...

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu growls at Haro a little bit with an interested look on its' face. Thankfully Haro can understand Tatsu binary growls since it is a robot as well.

"QUERY: WHAT SEEMS TO BE ERROR?"

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu growls some more with a proud look. If Lockon hears any of the growls he can't make heads or tails of what Tatsu is saying.

"STATEMENT: I AM TATSU, AI OF DR. STEPHAN."

[[Gainer is easily in a public place, playing on his little GameStation 32X or whatever it's called.

He actually got back on it the moment they entered the atmosphere, picking up on whatever signal he could. And now, playing "OverBattler" he's talking smack to those in which he schools online.]]

Tatsu is drawn to this machine in great interest. Tatsu looks it over carefully to fully understand what its' purpose is.

[turningyaponese]

[[Gainer resumes playing his game. His hands move the little wireless controls while he hunches over staring into the visor. It's... actually not very interesting to just watch him play and not see what he's playing.

But wait! At this nearby terminal... on the screen! It's a vidja gaim!]]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu watches the screen with great interest. This must be the purpose of the machine! But how is it working?! Tatsu watches Gainer and realizes that it must be him that is controlling it. Tatsu pushes a button on the controller to test this theory.

Ah, is it not most entertaining! The process of observation, just what an inquiring mind needs!

[Alessandra seems to treat Tatsu like her ward of sorts, and as such gives him advice and encouragement. In situations such as this one, the worst kind of encouragement.]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu nods energetically at Alessandra's statement. Observation is one of the most important things for a learning mind after all. Tatsu watches a couple kiss and furiously writes down in its' notepad. If Alessandra tries to read the notes she will see that they are written in 1s and 0s.

[fermionprincess]

[The binary notation does not escape Alessandra's keen eyes.]

No one may call my hand writing indecipherable with you around, dear Tatsu. Ah, joyous moment!

[She's so loud, at this rate all the stalking will be in naught as your presence is betrayed!]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu is pleased with that statement. It means Tatsu is great for secretly observing as its' notes are hard to decipher. Tatsu sees the couple start to turn from Alessandra's noise and Tatsu quickly hides Alessandra and itself. Once the couple isn't looking at them, Tatsu looks at Alessandra and raises a claw to its' lips in a hush movement. To much valuable data will be lost if the subjects are aware of their presence!

[Njall actually picks Tatsu up by the head before it can sneak off after some random couple.]

That's generally considered impolite, you know.

[mad_copycat]

OH NO~! It is the man who doesn't die when he is killed! Has he come for revenge against Tatsu for accidentally KILLING him?! Tatsu squirms in Njall's grasp trying to escape.

[modern_ancient]

He puts Tatsu back down.

"Do you talk?"

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu rubs the back of its' head a growls a little bit. It clearly can understand you but talking seems out of its' reach at the moment, excluding its' growls.

They Meet At Last.

[Vlaska was trailing after Tatsu. The metal lizard was too much of a curiosity for the cat to ignore. In the same way that Tatsu was stalking after the couples, Vlaska was creeping after the lizard.. right until..]

NYAAAAAAAAAH!

[The cat pounced onto Tatsu's back. Just because. Whomever the lizard was watching would probably have been notified of his presence.]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu is surprised by this and believes it to be an attack. Tatsu struggles to get Vlaska of its' back. When Tatsu finally succeeds, it jumps back to get space from the attacker and growls in a defensively aggressive way. Now Tatsu's growls are a mix of binary code and animal language so Vlaska can understand Tatsu.

"QUERY: FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU ATTACK?"

[russianbluerobo]

[Now... there are 10 kinds of people that understand binary. The one that does, and the one that doesn't. And yes that was a joke.]

... Shiny

[Vlaska just batted Tatsu in the face with his paw. Then proceeded to do it repeatedly.]

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu takes this as a vicious attack on its' being and jumps into action. Now Tatsu's programming makes it similar to a wild animal and it pounces and tries to rend Vlaska, like how a wild predator would attack.
