[mynameisallen]

[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

Why would romantic overtures to an omnic fail? Unless it was one with a highly-limited AI, of course.

[blitzcheer]

...is Allen the omnic in this, or the robot guy. [ What are words.

Tidus knows the answer to Orisa's question, at least, but before that-! ]

[stillnewatthis]

'Robot' also means 'omnic'. They are generally interchangeable.

[blitzcheer]

Ohhhh, okay. Gotcha.

[ He's learning. Nodding! ]

Also, I'd say that Allen's not a guy who goes out flirting much. I'd be surprised too!

[ About its success. ]

[stillnewatthis]

Oh! So you are surprised he did it, not that it worked. I understand now!

[blitzcheer]

I'm surprised it work. Allen, you've gotta show us some of your flirting moves! Orisa, you ever been swept off your feet?

[ Or should he be the flirting-target here. ]

[stillnewatthis]

In times of need, I am capable of deploying power reserves to augment my servomotors and electromagnetic joints. Thanks to this additional power and my quadruped construction, I am incapable of being knocked off my feet so long as the reserves last. Although once the reserves are exhausted they must regenerate, thus far I have avoided any opponent exploiting this period of time to succeed.

[Orisa, no]

[blitzcheer]

[ Orisa, no ]

....Allen's got his work cut out for him. [ Nodding, nodding.

(Tidus, no) ]

[stillnewatthis]

Yes, it would be extremely difficult for him to move me off my feet in any way.

[mynameisallen]

[Tidus. See this unamused face. It's there.]

You are correct in that I'm not usually the type, but I am capable of putting it on should it be necessary like it was during that time. That's what happens when your Master is General Cross; a man who somehow charms any woman.

[Does he understand how Cross does it. Not exactly. But he has learned thing he wishes he never learned.]

But are you really that surprised?

[blitzcheer]

Well? You talk about needing to get out and do more, relax, all that! And your boss being a flirt doesn't mean anything about your skills - unless he's been teaching you.

[ Heheheheh. ]

I wanna see what you can do.

[mynameisallen]

Not my boss. He's my Master. The worst Master honestly.

[Who gives their pupil all their debt? The worst. Deep down he cared about him, but still...]

He never actively taught me anything. He just drank alot and built up debt or got money from many woman that he was courting at that time. Sometimes one learns by simply watching. Not that I was trying to learn anything.

[He just sighed slightly.]

But I guess if I have no choice, I will try something.

[blitzcheer]

[ Boss, Master, no difference to Tidus (except he likes one word better than the other). He doesn't interrupt Allen anyway. and once he gets to the good point- ]

I'll be waiting! Show the train your moves, pal!

[mynameisallen]

Y-You want me to hit on you?

[Tidus. Tidus why.]

[blitzcheer]

Maybe I'm already hitting on you by getting you to hit on me. Thought about that?

[ What is this, who knows. Tidus is just going for it. ]

[mynameisallen]

I will admit, I don't know a lot about robots or omnics to know about AI's and such. I just know I always am terrified at any robot Komui creates because they tend to go haywire.

[And that is never fun.]

[stillnewatthis]

They malfunction? That is not acceptable! Omnics can do serious damage in such a case.

[mynameisallen]

Yes... Yes they can. Yet he still creates them for some reason.

[Though it has been a very long time.]

[stillnewatthis]

Although a desire to improve is admirable, he must take extra effort to eliminate the flaws in each model. Otherwise, people could get hurt.

[mynameisallen]

You would be right. Though I guess with that one he never did hurt us, so that was an improvement over the one before.

So I guess he did learn, but the trust is just low because most issues that happened was because of something he created.

[stillnewatthis]

I understand that feeling. It is incredibly difficult to trust someone who has let you down in such a way.

[mynameisallen]

Smart guy with good intentions, but those intentions just go very wrong.

I think he would honestly do well on the train if he were here though.

[stillnewatthis]

Oh? May I inquire as to why?

[There are no real resources for building omnics here, after all.]

[mynameisallen]

Because he would be around others who enjoy this kind of stuff. While he would have that back home to it's always good to have a new place to inspire and try to not kill people.

[stillnewatthis]

Oh, I see! The new environment and interactions would provide beneficial learning experiences for him. I too have benefited from that here.
