Trial 17: Optimus Prime Rib is back! [Action/Dictated]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

You know, I could really get used to this robot body! This is probably the longest castle loss I've known, 'cause I've been like this since last month! I'm alright now, though. I can move just like I used to but I'm a lot stronger than my usual self. I was able to lift my bed with one hand! 

I was just thinking if anyone needs help in some heavy lifting, I'll be glad to help out! I'll be at the lobby if anyone just wants to hang out!

You might be waiting for awhile.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Might be.

[Thanks to people like Blues, Chie's starting to learn to sass back]

[whistles_the_blues]

I suppose it's a good thing you can't hold your breath at the moment.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

What are you getting to?

[whistles_the_blues]

Just saying that being a robot is actually doing you some good at the moment.

I'd hate for you to pass out while waiting for someone to show up.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Oh hah-hah...

But I guess there's no use waiting. It's not like I was anyway!

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure you weren't.

Anyone actually take you up on the offer for help yet?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

No...

[whistles_the_blues]

Then perhaps you could find something more interesting to do, and if it catches my interest, maybe I'll join.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie gives a thoughtful "hmm" while thinking of something]

You know... I never did get to see how you fight!

[whistles_the_blues]

[There's a bit of a pause before he responds to that.]

I suppose you haven't.

[He's not sure he'd really want to fight Chie. He's used to her being squishy, not something he'd usually punch without a reason.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I haven't! I think I got used to this robot body now, and I can still summon Tomoe. I'm up for a little sparring match!

[whistles_the_blues]

Tomoe? That your "Persona" thing you had mentioned before?

...Hrmmmm....

I guess I could spar for a little.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Yup, that's her.

Cool! I'll meet you at the lobby?

[whistles_the_blues]

I'll be down in a minute.

[Doo Dee doo. Oh look, there's that weird lookin' robot coming down the stairs.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie gives him her trademark friendly salute greeting]

Yo.

[whistles_the_blues]

[And in return, she'll get a nod. Plain and simple.]

You sure you want to give this a shot?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

What's wrong? You scared?

[whistles_the_blues]

You wish. Just watching your back.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

That's the spirit! Where should we practice? Got a good place in mind?

[whistles_the_blues]

Nowhere in particular. Outside would probably be best. Small chances of harming anyone or damaging anything.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Outside... Oh, hey I know! By the duck pond!

[whistles_the_blues]

[There's a pause before he answers, he still a little unsure whether he actually wants to fight her or not.]

The duck pond will do.

[And toward the door he goes.]
