caughtinanetwork | 23 ♐ Video ♐ Casually ignore wound

[See Darkleer. See Darkleer without his glasses for once and his hair pulled back into a thick braid! See Darkleer also kind of bleeding somewhat from the arm.]

[Yeah that might be a problem. It seems he's on the beach and dress appropriately for the location, if not the weather. Tight swimming trunks cling to his legs, and what appears to be the bite mark of a shark is on one muscular arm. He doesn't seem much bothered by it- in fact, there's just the occasional wince as he pulls a tooth out. Just one more scar to add to what seems like a collection of them. Also noticeable would be a pendant that seems to be hanging around his throat... Hm.]

I've been meaning to ask this, but my schedule has been rather full up until now.

[Translation: I've been focusing on all my robots like a workaholic freak and trying to hide from weird romance problems.]

However, right now I have a bit of time while I'm working on something on the island. [In the water, more correctly, but details.] Would anyone be interested in learning basic medical skills? For example, how to assist someone who has drowned or how to stop a wound from bleeding.

It's better off to leave complete treatment to a more professional individual, such as our... esteemed head nurse, but skills such as these can help keep a situation from getting worse.

[There's a pause as he inspects his arm, now devoid of any shark teeth. Something seems to just *pop* out from his sylladex and he puts the modified omni-tool onto his good wrist. Don't mind him as he holds it over the bleeding wound and... wow that sure is some automatic healing going on. Technology is great, he loves technology.]

I will be on the island all day so feel free to simply locate me if you are interested. Speaking of the island... [A slight frown.] The pollen up here seems less severe than that down in the city.

Curious.

[Darkleer knows too, and hates himself even harder because he kept telling himself she was being a lying pirate asshole, but look where he still is.]

I apologize for getting short with you.

Nah you uh- I know why you would. [Sighs, looking away.] You kno how I feel about her- I don't uh- I don't blame you.

It was still foolish of me.

[He slowly starts to pull out from his towel pile, small as it is.]

I know how you feel about me, as well.

[Angelo kneels down by the robot and while he still finds this rather strange, he does as he was instructed to do.]

[Bahhh, the Nostalgia Quarter. Bro's so bummed by the fact that things there aren't free. Maybe someday, he'll find a job here in Vatheon that he can do just by being himself, so he can watch the tokens roll in without having to do squat. He's just not sure what. He gets the feeling the market for puppet porn isn't too great around here.]

What kinda job you got that lets you afford all those spare parts?

[Another sigh, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Ah- I'm- really sorry for what she said to ya.

[He slowly reaches over to touch his hand.]

You can't control her. It's hardly your fault. In all honesty, I'm not surprised she's getting like this when I don't immediately back down from her as I used to.

[He glances up with a lacking kind of smile, tired, his shoulders slumped.]

Just uh- it makes me wonder how much she'll fight for this is all. [Wonder... worry... ya know.]

I work in a bookstore when I spare the time. It's... quiet.

[Which is such a relief from dealing with pretty much his whole life and social network.]

I also send my robots out to do tasks to earn payment as well.

You've got more than just that one? [He jerks a thumb at the dog. One of the last things he expected to find in an otherworldly underwater prison city is an abundance of robots.]

I.. have had a lot of spare time. Particularly in the past. [When he was at his most hermity.]

I prefer to base them off of animals, as there are a variety of forms that provide interesting challenges.

Animals, huh? Just bigger ones like dogs, or stuff like birds and rodents too?

[Don't mind Bro as he crouches down next to the dog for a closer look. Hot damn, this is some advanced stuff.]

All sorts. I've even made insects as a gift for a young man. I still have to see if he's found the way to control them... [A brief smile.] He's clever, so I should hope so by now.

[The dog straightens up a bit, serious in every bit of its body language. Bro isn't someone registered firmly in its database yet, so it's not exactly trusting while on guard duty.]

[It's a good thing Bro has no intention of touching the dog. If it were a cute chihuahua robot, then maybe, but not a hound like this one. He'll just observe it from a safe distance.

But wow, insect robots. It's gotta be the most frustrating little chore to build something teeny tiny like that. Unless they're ten times the size of real insects, in which case it'd be kind of eerie.]

Man... Must be a lotta technology in the Nostalgia Quarter that makes stuff from my own world look like ancient relics.

If it makes you feel any better, then it also has a lot of things from worlds where they haven't gotten that far yet. With others, the technology is really very mixed. No television, for example, but complex robots. It's quite intriguing to see how it could have developed.

Huh... Makes me wonder if my world's got something that others don't. Or at least the best variation of it.

Each world seems to be unique, even if it is just a different variation of Earth. I'm sure there's something. It's just a matter of figuring out what it is.

All it really took for me was gravity.

...That as well. I suppose that counts, yes.

There wasn't much in the way of technology where I grew up. We were taught to be careful of things like wildlife and the mountains.

When I was young, I mostly just watched other animals and trolls make the mistakes so I didn't have to. I could watch nature a lot easier than I could technology, it seemed.

I think maybe I was the one people watched.

That does seem to be the case with technology, though.

You are someone worth watching, it seems.

Should I take that as a compliment, or just better me than you if someone's going to be falling out of trees?

Do you create just medical equipment or do you branch out and make other things as well?
