Do you want to see my robot?

Just got back from a drive. Lil drunk. How do I know if the hoverbike also came.

It will have it in the log.

Yeah, considering I'm not marrying Koda ever, and he doesn't mind me staying over

Back from a really intense time at work. Was really busy. Turns out I'm more important for Sir Katsumasas work than anticipated

My condolences. Few things are worse than becoming important at work. This is why I'm self-employed now.

Thank... you...?

With a strong push, Eishi did what amounted to a front flip with the mech and landed on the mechs feet with a loud thud thay shook the building slightly. "I was never i danger of falling over. I'm too good for that." It looked at Yuriko for a moment with a waiting look. "The flip is considered an impressive thing to do among pilots. Especially with an unfamiliar mech."

Yuriko grinned, picking up on the fact that Eishi wanted its due accolades. "And you made it look so smooth and easy, even with a mech as old as this one!" she complimented. "I don't think any Reckoner pilots, however few there are in the gangs, would be able to do anything similar."

"Can I take this mech for a walk outside? Or is that too dangerous or something?"

With a strong push, Eishi did what amounted to a front flip with the mech and landed on the mechs feet with a loud thud thay shook the building slightly. "I was never i danger of falling over. I'm too good for that." It looked at Yuriko for a moment with a waiting look. "The flip is considered an impressive thing to do among pilots. Especially with an unfamiliar mech."

"That would be bad, yes." Eishi stood and went to the door to the kitchen. "Show me to the mech?"

Eishi inspected the machine with a critical eye. It was really old. Some of it's mechanics were outdated and obsolete. It walked around the mech, noting how various parts looked. "It looks fine. Condition is good. They take good care of their mechs it seems."

"Considering its usual pilot threatened to skin the boss if he broke it, I don't doubt that," Yuriko chuckled. "Need help getting in, or do you have it handled?"

"No need, I can get in by myself." Eishi climbed over the open glass cockpit inside. After orienting itself correctly, pushed a button on the control panel to close the cockpit. Immidietly it noticed that the place to put the feet in was feeling wierd. After fruitlessly trying to move the feet slots, Eishi looked behind itself to see if the arm control gloves were still there, but all it could see were the holding arms with the gloves removed. Then it dawned on it. This mech originally had movement controls, but someone removed them. Deciding to ignore that, the pilot turned it's attention to the console. It immidietly became apparent that the machine was old. The controls were lacking certain functions that were standard in todays models and were arranged in a nonoptimal pattern. "Well. Time to see if this at least moves properly." With a move of a control stick, it moved the mech. It was slightly slow to respond, but the steps were solid and even. "This is not as bad as I feared." Another control stick and the arms moved. With a push of button, the fingers opened and then closed. A series of quick movements with the sticks and pushes of buttons made the arms move in a fast and complex fashion. With that, Eishi started to test the range of movement the mech had.

Yuriko stayed back while Eishi tested out the mech. She cupped her mouth with her hands to call up. "Doesn't look like you're having much trouble!"

With a flick of a switch, external speakers were turned on. "That's because I am a career pilot. I spent all my life training to be able to use every kind of control scheme there is." Compared to a newer mech, this one was akward and slow and Eishi was mad at Umezawa and his mechanics for ripping out the other control scheme, but piloting this mech was no problem.

Yuriko chuckled, picking up on the annoyance in Eishi's voice. "Career piloting isn't exactly an option for us Reckoners," she reminded it. "Boss Umezawa doesn't even pilot all that much, usually he's got other things to worry about."

"I don't blame him for not being able to pilot all day every day. It's just that he removed movement controls from this mech and left just the analogue console. It would be so much easier for him to learn and pilot this mech if he left the other control scheme."

Yuriko snickered. "That requires Boss Umezawa to admit that he doesn't know everything, and I'm sure you've gotten the chance to see how that goes." She watched as Eishi got the mech straightened up. "So besides the fact that you have to pilot it analogue-style, how are you liking it? Think you can do some cool stuff in it?"

"It's fine. I would be embarrased to show up in it in public though. And for cool stuff?" With that, Eishi fell backwards and caught itself by bending the mechanical arms in a way that is impossible for a human. Then, it kicked the legs off the ground and made a handstand. "Do you think this is cool?" The pilot performed a push up in it's vertical position.

Yuriko clapped, visibly impressed. "I didn't even know those things could do that!" she called. "Goes to show how good of a pilot you are!"

"It's not really that skill intensive. It mostly requires you to have good balance in the mech. The most impressive part would be the fact that I can do it after only a few minutes familiarizing myself with the controls."

Yuriko giggled. "You say that as though you haven't been impressing me this entire time, Eishi."

The upside down mech falters slightly. "I-I have?" The pilots blush is almost audible.

"That would be bad, yes." Eishi stood and went to the door to the kitchen. "Show me to the mech?"

Eishi inspected the machine with a critical eye. It was really old. Some of it's mechanics were outdated and obsolete. It walked around the mech, noting how various parts looked. "It looks fine. Condition is good. They take good care of their mechs it seems."
