jamcat I SHOULD play Etrian Odyssey. I somehow know what a Field-On Enemy is, and yet never have. I should fix that.

jamcat You know, I was talking about getting into the Zelda Verse again. And while a serious muse or OC would be fun, what if I just annoyed everyone instead? /big j

jamcat Ghost puppies..? Why does this feel familiar...

Well, she didn't seem to steal kindness. Not as far as he could tell, anyway. In fact- she practically radiated the stuff, smiling ear to ear as she introduced herself. “Hello, plip! Apologies, my name is Usalia. I'm from off-world, and may have gotten stuck, plip...”

Oh, jeez. If only healing magic worked in this world... but alas, her shortcakes only taste good in the magic-less worlds. “Ah, I do apologize if the timing is odd, plip. Like I said, I'll stay out of the way. And if you need anything please let me know! I'd be more than willing to help out” 》

jamcat Heyo~, just got home from doing some stuff. I'll get to replies in a bit. Just gotta unwind, maybe listen to some music and/or obliterate people at Tetris 99 before I can write today. My brain needs some scratching to wake up.

“Well, then, would you mind if I hung around you for a bit, then? I can promise you I won't get in the way. Honestly, just talking to you like this is providing plenty of information on its own.” A little smile. “But, if you do need me for anything, don't be afraid to ask, plip. I know my way” 》

“Simple: I wish to learn about the people of your world, be they organic, mechanical, or a mixture of both like yourself. That said, you're a Carbon, correct? I just want to get to know you.” “It's a lot less invasive and clinical sounding than 'collecting data' in my opinion, plip~.”

“Ah, right to business. I can reciprocate, plip.” She stands up straight, arms folded behind her back. “Usalia, Overlord of Toto Bunny. It's a world far away from here, simply put.”

She would giggle, before hopping on up to follow the Servbots into the workshop. This might not have been the greeting she was expecting, but you're not going to hear her complain about having such a cute (if not aggressive) welcome party. She's still wondering about who made these little ones...

She wants to answer honestly. She really, really does. But she knows she'd likely get a slingshot bullet to the face as a result. That wouldn't be as cute. “No, nothing of the sort, plip. I actually just wanted to meet her, honest! I know a few Maverick Hunters, you see. I just wanted to ask” 》

Aww! They were even cute when they were trying to be intimidating! She just can't with these little ones already- “Aw, you're adorable, plip! And so well-made!” The rabbit clears her throat, before pulling her knees to her chest, now eye level with the little one. “I'm here looking for Tron.” 》

“Mornin', plip! Coffee?”

jamcat Just imagining Usalia distracting Servbots while they were probably supposed to be like. Fanning Tron with palm fronds like it's a tropical paradise. She can't help herself. She sees cute robots, she will interact.

Well wasn't she in for a little surprise. The princess wouldn't wake her up, obviously... but she DID need to ask her a few questions. And the beachside was surprisingly calm... Suppose a few minutes on the sand wouldn't hurt. And those little robots are just so cute. She can wait awhile~.

“It's a lot less difficult to wrap your head around if you think of us like extra-terrestrials, plip. Believe me.” That's more or less how she viewed humans and angels, after all. Not so much above or below, but just- adjacent lifeforms. “And my magic doesn't work here, conventionally.” 》

jamcat Alright, let's get a few lined up, shall we~?

jamcat Oh boy, 3AM. (I'm awake and depressed, haha)

jamcat Okay. Am suddenly tired. However, if I get a second wind in a bit and end up staying awake, I'll get to replies and poking people I haven't written with yet. There is a bunny girl rapidly approaching the locations of Volnutt and Tron. I shan't elaborate further until it happens~.

“Okay... classic make Robot Masters; check. Reploids, mainly of the modern kind; check. Biometal; check.” Hmm... was she missing any other important data..? “...ah! Carbons. That's right. I think Ciel said there were a few around here. Guess it's time to meet the neighbors~.”

“You got it~!” She gives a little two finger salute, before shoving her hands back in her pockets. “I hope you don't mind the sudden departure, plip. Normally, schedules are down to the minute at most. I've given myself a lot of leeway recently, hehe... I'll see you around, Aile!” With a hop, 》

“Well, at least they're supporting locally, plip? That's a positive.”

OOC. 🐒/Rest in Piss to Chie and Yukiko for coming up with Mystery Food X for being a disaster when Yosuke and Narukami tried it... and nearly died all because of the wrong ingredients these two girls put inside. Although Narukami’s cooking hits different.

“Not as of yet, plip. I'm working on setting up shop locally soon, though! Just as soon as I make contact with a few more business parties and potential partners, like yourself!” She would gladly accept the gesture of goodwill, beaming ear to ear at the agreement. “Once I find a place, I'll” 》

jamcat If I had to be serious, she might like the one omelet that ended up flavorless but edible. Everything else, ESPECIALLY Mystery Food X, is up in the air, because she might actually cause a massacre if she learns of that atrocity on curry-kind.

“I'm thinking takeout is in the stars for these individuals, plip...”

“All I ask is that you come to me if you ever need, or want, any tuning up when it comes to Z and X there! You two are plenty fine on your own, but every machine needs maintained.” She leans forward, pointing a finger at the trio as if she were lecturing them. “If it breaks you have to fix it.” 》

cyn THERES MOCKTAILS !! I PROMISE NEITHER OF US ARE BEING IRRESPONSIBLE!!!

jamcat Even Usalia, a literal demon, is not immune to the threat of the Persona 4 crew's food.

“Oh. OH. Oh gosh, plip-” She was suddenly feeling very lightheaded. “Well, um- it smells good! Plip..?”

“...wait- that's-” “Oh. Oh, that's supposed to be shrimp, plip.” “...is my brain being effected by the fumes?”

《NC》

“Ah, apologies. I smelled bacon, plip.”

“I see...” With that, she relaxes her posture, and the HUD in front of her face disappears. “Well, you certainly held your end of the bargain! I'm afraid I don't have much to pay you in other than services, plip. But, on the bright side, I think those Biometal will be a fun side project~!” 》

“I see... so it's a symbiotic relationship through and through. An individual is chosen, and that Biometal's powers are bestowed upon them to call forth at their command...” While that was all interesting, what interested her the most was Model X. “Model X, though- that one seems... important.” 》

“...that's it.” She writes the name down, not in any demonic lettering, but in something the humanoids of this world could read. 'Deimos'. That's what she'll call the new wave, if she can get Ciel on board. She just had to refine the anatomy and internals, if Ciel was providing the power source...

Important figures from the past... she's keeping an important note of that. As for the next spike in energy, it exceeds the earlier threshold she had though- now more than able to handle your average Netherworld demons. “Oh! That's why you had two- I see... and such amazing strength, even just” 》

“Hmm... 'Daemon'? No, that's too on the nose. We don't want people to be scared of them if this really ends up happening...” She was drawing schematics. For a humanoid robot, it seems. There were some very rabbit-woman flourishes thrown into both design and notes, but mechanically, it's all sound.

─── 𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐀 𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐆𝐀

“There appears to be a Robot Master stuck in the hallway.”

jamcat Yeah, but we can't have you running on alcohol until you can reach the counter. Sorry, Rock. Them's the rules. E-Tank fluid until then.

jamcat Hold on... that better be for you. He's not of drinking age. Unless of course that's an E-Tank, in which case, bottoms up little guy!

Whoa! Her instruments just about went haywire, having to adjust to... sub-human levels of strength?! Something that might even rival lesser demons back in the Netherworlds! “Amazing, plip! That energy is off the charts, even compared to the readings I was getting before! Like it just” 》

“Wizard..? No, I'm afraid I can't use my magic here, if that's what you're referring to, plip.” She's also aware of other uses for the term, though. She is a lot more tech savvy than she was when she was smaller. “And as for Navi... I think I've seen that term here and there.” 》

“Stupendously, plip! I feel like I just witnessed a personal best!” She's DEFINITELY re-watching that sim for valuable data.

“Well of course! This is entirely new in terms of-” Oh? 'Mega Merge'? Now that sounded interesting... “If you're absolutely sure, than I'm equally certain I'd like to see it, plip! If there's anything you can do together, please, by all means-”

“Whoa... animated alloys!? That's far from unheard of, but I'm already picking up some amazing energy readings!” The little drone begins to freak out, before Usalia recalls it to whatever cyberspace 'pocket' she keeps it in. Guess the visor-HUD will have to do for now. 》

...oh. Oh! Was it finally time? “Hold on, plip- I want my equipment ready...” With that, a little rabbit-shaped drone materializes beside her, along with a holographic HUD hovering in front of her eyes. “Ready, plip!”
