[Today, Anais is recording a video of a giant, bird-shaped robot.]

... Is it sad I kind of miss him just being Birdgod? But the weirdest thing goes on with him. I can pilot him from the inside. And he just does whatever I do...

Is this normal for giant robots? I mean, I thought it was supposed to be an actual robot. With controls. He just does what I do, no machinery at all.

It's weird.

He stores pretty conveniently, though.

[ You better believe, Alexi is gawking at that! ]

Holy crap! I just got a sword.

[phoenix_temple]

I got one of those, too. Back in... February? It's at least seven feet long. They just get more and more absurd...

[saviorsoul]

I remember you tellin' me about it. Mine just looks weird. So... is he uh stuck like that?

[wonk]

"normal 4 giant robots"

i can see it workin

probably microcameras or sensors or w/e

all the machinery is inbetween the inside+outside so u dont see any of it

so it just sees ur movements+matches them

[phoenix_temple]

Getting in it is weird, too. You don't see him at all. It's just a giant bubble...

[wonk]

its a giant robot im not sure y u have any expectations @ all

audio

[dragon_blossom]

...soooo.

[ Marina clears her throat. It's been a while. And. She's not sure how to handle actually talking to Anais who clearly hates her guts, but they've got giant god animals to address. ]

H-how did you... handle your bird again? I kinda have a thing now.

[phoenix_temple]

[She wouldn't even bother to answer if it wasn't about another living thing. They're not easy to take care of.]

Well, it shouldn't need to eat, and eventually, it should be able to talk. Just don't expect it to shut up once it starts...

audio

[dragon_blossom]

...r-right, I think I remember... seeing you talk about that part. It's a dragon and it's pretty huge so... that would be a lot of food.

[ Fish? Cows? Virgins? She's not sure what a dragon would even want to eat. ]

I'll talk back at it and see who gets annoyed first.

[anequal]

I thought you were a magical girl not a mecha pilot.

[phoenix_temple]

I'm a magic knight, not a magical girl. There's a difference. I don't get a real transformation sequence or a cute name.

[Anais. May have looked into the genre recently.]

[anequal]

... Someone's genre savvy.

video

[hyper_rain]

[ much staring ]

It was a... birdgod?

video

[phoenix_temple]

Yeah, a giant four-winged bird that sat on my apartment building and talked telepathically nonstop.

video

[hyper_rain]

[so surreal] ...Maybe Birdgod was lonely? I do not think there would be many other birdgods to talk to.

[ Wow, he already knows the bird would turn robot but he didn't think it will be this soon. ] Well, that's pretty cool. From your description, it's probably wired with neurotransmitters. It's a pretty advance technology but not impossible.

What do you mean he stores conveniently?

[ Pause. ] You might want to be prepared for an FBI visit. Having a robot of any kind will put you on their radar.

Private Video

[phoenix_temple]

It's a deity, though. It might just be magic, from everything else I've echoed back...

And I don't think I have to worry about the FBI. It actually--[Okay she can do this if she concentrates. She thinks. It takes a few seconds but, in that time, Windam vanishes into a beam of light, and

Right into the gem in her armor.] And they already talked to me about him, anyway. They wanted me to find somewhere better to put him, but... I live in an apartment, what was I supposed to do? He doesn't exactly fit in the basement...

Private Video

[buildyourworld]

Possible. If anything, that probably means you don't need to bothered about maintenance. It's a good thing.

[ And that's just cool. He wishes he could store Virtue like that, it'll makes a lot of his problems disappears into thin air. But alas, that's not happening so he can only marvels at hers for that nifty storage. ]

Well, I don't think you need to worry with that. [ He waves a nonchalant hand. ] They probably want it in the hangar here with all the other robots. They're friggin paranoid about us having any weapon, especially the robotic kind.

[feastorfamine]

Wow... you actually have one too...

I have to ask more about what it's like. You said there's no controls and it just mimics your movements, right? There's not even like... a display or anything?

[phoenix_temple]

Being inside him is like being in this giant bubble. You can see everything, it's like he's not even there... It's really weird. Kind of scary, actually...

[feastorfamine]

I see... the memories I had of controlling my Gunpla were like being inside of a room. These holographic displays popped up showing the battlefield and everything it could do.

video

[neopianangst]

Well, he was already alive anyway, so...

[But he's interested in this enough to not be too mopey to comment on it, congrats.]

video

[phoenix_temple]

That's true, but I still--I'm not sure that this kind of thing is really possible, no matter how magical it is. He just does what I do...

[Piloting giant robots should be way more complicated.]

[Video]

[radiantchicken]

Ah! That is a perfectly normal way to control a giant robot, yes! I remember that now! I did much the same with Bragigas.

[And the parrot sort of puffs himself up a little at that.]

With the what? [Not a term she's familiar with.]
