New Hat! Old Habits... | Open

[dripdrive]

[On the first of June, as a little 'thank you' for participating in the team-building activities, Anasui has been given a new hat. Well, more specifically, a hat that resembles his old one. The tailor that presented it to him told him they consulted Emporio to get the style just right and Anasui can't see any flaws in it.

He's so pleased by it, despite his stoic disposition, that he subconsciously tries to show it off, which manifests as him coming out of his (really Emporio's) apartment more often into town. You may see him out and about, whether working at the clinic or trading for food or yeast.

However, you may witness him compulsively dismantling something. He's been scolded more times than he cares to admit regarding the paved roads so he's turned his eyes on other things. If you've built something interesting in the last few days, you may see Anasui pecking away at it, regardless of where you've hidden it. Otherwise, you're likely to find Anasui with a vat of what smells like vinegar holding his... Grumperl over it?

Regardless of where you see him, he'll notice you looking at him. He'll stare at you with his bright, blue eyes and grunts.]

What do you want?

[technusrulez]

HEY!!!

[Technus had begun working on what was supposed to be a Leyden jar. He'd left for a moment... and come back to a weird bird dismantling his creation.]

GET YOUR BEAK OFF OF MY CREATION, YOU BRAT!

[dripdrive]

[Anasui is more than four times Technus' size. He hardly sees himself as a brat - if anything, he sees Technus as one. But the Espathra does look up and frowns.]

Hmph... I didn't expect it would be you who made this. [Anasui, you haven't even met Technus or even heard of him. All the same, after a long moment of staring, he goes back to pecking at the metal spike on the leyden jar, as if Technus is not worth his time.]

[technusrulez]

[You may be large, Anasui, but you're still a brat in the eyes of this little old man.

...Plus, seeing Anasui so mindlessly wreck Technus's creation makes Technus assume Anasui is some sort of troublemaking teenager. Technus is used to teenagers causing problems for him.]

WELL, IT WAS!! SO GET AWAY!

[Technus buzzes towards Anasui, getting up in his face and trying to shoo him away.]

LEAVE MY BEAUTIFUL TECHNOLOGICAL MARVELS ALONE, CHILD!

[dripdrive]

[Little old man.

And excuse you, he isn't mindlessly wrecking it! He's being incredibly meticulous in its deconstruction! The outer coating is neatly folded on the floor and now he's trying to get the jar's spike loose enough so he can carefully put it aside. Or was trying to, since Technus is suddenly in his face. Anasui shakes his head, trying to use his hair to shoo Technus away like a bothersome fly.]

If this is a technological marvel, you must be from a primitive place. This is a barely a functioning capacitor. [WOW Anasui.]

[technusrulez]

[That upsets Technus. It's not his fault he has limited materials!]

IT IS A TECHNOLOGICAL MARVEL BECAUSE I, TECHNUS, MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY, HAVE CREATED IT! I AM WORKING WITH LIMITED MATERIALS HERE!

[dripdrive]

[Hells, this thing is loud. Anasui rolls his eyes at the ghost.]

So it stands on virtue of you rather than being anything of actual use. A marvel would be able to excel in spite of limited materials.

[Anasui tries to push his head past the Rotom to go back to looking at the machine.] What are you even using for the covering? I didn't know they had foil here.

[technusrulez]

I AM EXCELLING! I CANNOT MAKE THINGS FROM MATERIALS I DO NOT HAVE! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY!

[Technus keeps buzzing into Anasui's face like a particularly annoying bug.]

[dripdrive]

Then make the materials, obviously. Aren't you a 'Master of Technology' or something? [Anasui scowls. He tries to Peck at Technus, since the ghost insists on flying in front of his beak.]

I know how to dismantle pocket watches, toys, cars and a high voltage utility-pole amongst other things. I know more than you'd expect, pest.

[technusrulez]

I MAY BE A GENIUS, BUT I CANNOT SUMMON MATERIALS OUT OF NOWHERE! YOU MAY KNOW HOW TO DESTROY, BUT I DOUBT YOU KNOW HOW TO CREATE!

[The Peck hits, and Technus yelps.]

DID YOU JUST ATTACK ME???

[dripdrive]

I don't. But I don't pretend to be a master while I'm at it.

[Anasui shrugs, a somewhat difficult gesture to see when his shoulders are so low.]

You must be imagining things. You flew into my face. You must have bumped into my beak. [Anasui makes no attempt to make that sound more convincing.]

[technusrulez]

YOU ARE A FOOL AND A MORON BESIDES! I AM A MASTER, I AM JUST WORKING WITH LIMITED MATERIALS!

[Electricity buzzes around Technus's body.]

LEAVE ME BE OR I, TECHNUS, SHALL STRIKE YOU DOWN!

[dripdrive]

Do you think you're capable of that, Sparky?

[But Anasui doesn't feel the need to aggravate the Rotom much further though so he backs off.]

... But hey... If you have anything you don't want, I'll take it off your hands.
