why am i doing this i have like one angry icon

[mechasshole]

Now, it's not to say I'm not flattered--but are you sure you're not getting ahead of yourself, young lady?

Comments

[foreveryakone]

Aren't they always?

[tarrlokandload]

I'm told she's a precocious one.

Evening, Mr. Sato.

[amonaboat]

That's unsurprising.

[mechasshole]

It seems likely. I wouldn't know from experience, I'm afraid.

okay fine everyone gets a civil icon AND a free car

[mechasshole]

Councilman. Now--what is all this I'm hearing about a City? I'd expect you of all people to have a lot thrown in.

you are one CIVIL... ENGINEER...

[tarrlokandload]

Charming as the prospect may be, I'm afraid my more obvious function is already being fulfilled by some other fellow.

Truly, I bemoan the local population's loss.

[foreveryakone]

You'll get the hang of it. Taking a few risks is just part of the journey.

[mechasshole]

[oh amon you're so hypocritical and manly]

Indeed. Still, if it means my services will be available...

[amonaboat]

And hopefully they would be available to the correct sorts. I would hate to see your particular talents go to waste on those with power, Mr. Sato.

[mechasshole]

Well, I'd hardly be where I am today if I weren't willing to take a few chances! I must say, though, this isn't exactly how I imagined the wave of the future... and I have been picturing it.

OHHHHHHHHHH

[mechasshole]

[HE CHUCKLES, RATHER LIKE A TURD, AND CLAPS HIM MANFULLY ON THE SHOULDER
ALSO LIKE A TURD] They're in mourning as we speak, no doubt. In the meantime, what do you make of this place?

[foreveryakone]

[ Hmph. ] Any "wave of the future" is just whatever makes the greatest splash. Some impressions are strong enough to withstand time, but a ripple will get absorbed nearly immediately.

[ He's kind of butthurt about it all. ]

I can't say I'm pleased about it.

[tarrlokandload]

[THIS IS LIKE THE TURDING OF THE SCREW]

It isn't without its appeal. [Mild glance at that manly hand with all that manful clapping.] A gentleman with your innovation could flourish well, of course. Is there much temptation to it?

[mechasshole]

I have no intention of supplying any cause less... worthy than my current interest, I assure you. Anything else is mere expansion.

[amonaboat]

That is encouraging to hear. I knew my faith in you, and your fine work, was not ill-placed.

[mechasshole]

No? I always did prefer to work in metal.

[mechasshole]

[okay hands off and back at his sides, he doesn't want to have to touch bending scum for too long!!]

Temptation? I wouldn't say that. [a beat.] It wouldn't do to leave Asami to her own devices for too long, after all.

[tarrlokandload]

You're an ever vigilant father, Mr. Sato, as the best of society already knows.

But really, I'm sure she'd be fine.

[And not like, totally arrested like that one time.]

[foreveryakone]

To questionable ends, so I hear. The best kind, if you ask me.

[glad_i_hit_you]

Dad.

[irohdisboat]

[Mainly here in case he has to break up a fight.]

On some level, I admire how much many of them play it by ear.

[eatmyexhaust]

Getting ahead of herself?

I'm sure you're every bit of the joke your mun intended you to be.

[mechasshole]

I don't believe I did, Yakone.

[mechasshole]

Asami...? Is something wrong, sweetie?

[mechasshole]

She certainly can handle herself, but I'd feel much better knowing she's safe. [and not about to get beaten to death in a mechatank by him! WHOOPS.] Then again, there's nothing saying she won't make an appearance here. Family has a way of doing that.
