What is civilian life?

[buildyourworld]

Who: Tieria (buildyourworld) and YOU
When: IC 01/09-01/13
Where: Various places
What: ViViD, shopping, general stuff
Rating/Warning: None atm


A: ViViD
[ Tieria didn't pay much attention to ViViD until he realized he could use his Gundam in full size and was the given the choice to purchase not only in game but real upgrades for Raphael upon completing any stages that he became interested in challenging the game. Plus, the missions were quite challenging in itself.

Usually, he prefer running the dash solo but this particular stage required him to complete it sans Gundam and with a partner. After stashing his mini Gundam away in the locker provided by the game center, he approached YOU for a game. If he needed a partner for the mission, he'll find one. ]

I require a partner for my mission, are you interested?

B: Tech/Hardware Shops
[ The good thing about being an actor was the fact that he had a larger paycheck in comparison to most jobs available. But instead of indulging in personal entertainment like any sane person would, Tieria chose to stock up on some mechanical tools or hardwares depending on which store he visited, that will become important once he starts modifying his studio apartment later.

Of course, he wasn't the only one doing the shopping. ]

Haro, put that back. I don't need it. [ The pink round robot has it's hands full some the most random tools ever and didn't feel like doing what it was told. ] Buy these! Buy these!

No. Put them back.

C: CERES Gym
[ Keeping himself fit and healthy was part and parcel of being a Gundam Meister, regardless of whether he was on active duty or not. Find him running the threadmill with impressive endurance? Perhaps you're one of his random sparing partner of the day? Did you need help operating some of the more complicated machinery?

Pick your module. ]

D: Wild Cards
[ Could you be a waitress of an eatery he visited? Perhaps a sales person trying to sell him one of your products to earn some much needed commisions? A delivery person or staffs at the television studio where he was filming his drama? Bumped into him on the street?

Write your own scenario! ]

[ What's Hak doing in a tech shop? Looking at tools that he doesn't know how to use, whoops. He figures that he should buy a manual or something and try them out, to get a closer look at the machinery. He's a quick learner, so it shouldn't be too hard, he hopes.

But there's a lot of commotion over at the next isle, and he recognizes that voice. He dares to look and--this guy again? Really? Why does Hak keep on running into this weirdo oh my god.

He just. Stares. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ After going back and forth enough time, Tieria just gives up, grabs the tools from Haro and deposits them in the nearby sorting basket instead. Which really only serves to make the Haro protest harder. ] Meanie! Meanie! Stingy!

Look, I'm not wasting money on something we don't need. Don't make me switch you off.

[ He threatens in exasperation and wonders if he should run a system update on the AI. Thankfully, the threat silenced Haro, for now anyway so he's spare from more robotic tantrum. When he turns around, he comes face to face with Hak, who's staring at him. With a slight huff, he approaches him, fully aware of why he had warranted such reaction. ]

Sorry about that. Haro is making a fuss.

[fortheprincess]

[ He keeps the same expression on as Tieria fusses with Haro, not entirely sure of what's going on. That robot's more like an animal if you ask Hak, but he simply shrugs when Tieria notices him. ]

Might wanna be careful with it, or an employee's going to come and kick you out.

[ That's only in a worst-case scenario. Hak's got a basic tech manual in his hand about tools in general, but there's nothing here on the specific CERES technology. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ He smiles, nodding at his warning and gives Haro a knowing know. The robot of course, is having none of it and instead bounces it way into Tieria's basket. Well, at least Tieria doesn't have to stop it from picking up more random tools. ]

Don't worry, Haro won't make a mess.

[ That's when he notices the manual in Hak's hand. Now that gets him curious. People don't normally buy a manual on basic tool. Most people usually ask someone how to use them because really, half the tools in those manual aren't meant for daily use. Which leave him to 2 reasons: a) he's picking up on a mechanical/engineering course or b) he needs help with something that requires the use of those tools, the last being the most plausible reason in most cases. ]

Need help with anything?

[ Hey, it's him! Athena's just about to enter the game to do some farming of her own, but being invited to sortie with someone sounds like fun! Even if Tieria is a bit scary... ]

I don't mind. I'm just about to start playing myself.

What kind of mission is it?

[fortheprincess]

[ He watches as Haro bounces into the basket, wondering just what even is that thing. But then he looks at Tieria, and he remembers that this was the guy scanning buildings. Also the guy who set part of the gardens on fire. Odd impression of him so far, and Hak doesn't know if he should stick around too long.

But then he asks if Hak needs help, noticing him looking at the manual. It finally occurs to Hak that Tieria's more experienced in technology than he is--far more experienced, from what he can tell--and it wouldn't hurt to see what he knows. Hak doesn't get any bad vibes from him, so it should be okay. ]

Have you ever taken a look at CERES' technology before?

[ If not, maybe he could get some suggestions on how to at least tamper with his Cerevice. See if he can find anything worth noting. Problem is that he needs to know the basics first. ]

[ Hokuto dropped by the hardware store to buy new padlocks to put on some clothes drawer, since him and his roommate has a clothes stealing robot, and it managed to break another of the locks they had put on it. He was on the way to pay for the stuff when he spotted a guy bickering with a robot, and he shorts in amusement. How funny. ]

a!

[alpako]

[ It's not often she comes here by herself, but she wants to get stronger. Most of the missions aren't hard, not with Yata tutoring her throughout... But having a stranger come up to ask her so pointedly--it's strange. There's something familiar about his face, but she can't remember exactly where. It makes her blink for a moment, before stuttering, ]

Y, Yes, umm, may I ask what kind of missions is it...?

[soulist]

[ Well it's not everyday he means a semi-normal robotic AI around these parts. So Cyrus is genuinely interested in the other's tiny companion. He's doing some shopping of his own actually. With both left limbs being robotic as well as his eye he rather work on them himself than ever go to another repair shop again. The last time was a bit...disturbing.

So he'll watch for a few minutes not really wanting to disrupt the two of them just yet. ]

C!

[aerialassault]

....You sure you wanna spar with me?

[Cliff looked down at Tieria, brows lifted in surprise as he brushed sweaty bangs from his face with a wrapped hand. Dressed in comfortable pants, flexible shoes, and a tank, he was more than dressed the part of a training martial artist. And, while Tieria may have noticed the punching bag in his own flat, using the public facilities made him feel like he was more of a part of the community.

While he had been on the look out for sparring partners, he hadn't expected the slender Tieria to be one of them.]

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria remembers her and while she can be quite exasperating to talk to, Tieria doesn't think it's a big enough problem to ignore her. Plus, it's better than getting into the mission with someone he doesn't know at all. ]

Item retrieval.

What's your equip? [ Might as well get all the necessary information first before getting into the dash. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ He nods at the question and smile a little, remembering the comments made to him about his very obvious lack of social skills by his colleagues. ]

I have. They are more advanced but similar to what I have back home.

[ Or to be honest, what he has access to because Celestial Being's technology is ahead of the their world's by a good 100-200 years gap. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria is about to tell Haro off again when he heard the snort and turns around to check who's making the sound. He frowns at the guy, wondering what's his problem while Haro attempts to sneak two more pliers into his basket. ]

Haro! Put them back on the shelf. Are you mad? We have pliers already.

Not enough! Not enough! [ The Haro is obviously shopping for the whole crew at this point, the only problem is, the Ptolemy's crew aren't here. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ What are the chances of him hitting two non-Gundam usage missions in a row? Apparently, the probability numbers hit their all time high today. He watches her stutter but makes no comment since he's already used to this reaction.

Perhaps she has seen him on TV, although he's dressed and styled differently in it. ]

Dual run. We have to reach a few checkpoints and the designated destination within a time limit. [ There's no doubt more to just running but he thought that's obvious considering this is ViViD so he didn't mention it. ] Are you up for it? I can ask someone else.

[psycholawgy]

[ She rolls her palm into a fist and hits her other palm with it. ]

Gauntlets! Although I don't have them on me right now.

[ She's also learned how to wield a spear, but her weapon proficiency with it isn't as high as how it is with her fists. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria is aware of someone watching him from his peripheral but since that someone hasn't approaches him, Tieria continues on with his shopping instead. Or tried to anyway with Haro being a pesky robot and trying to overload his basket with every unnecessary tools it could find. ]

Haro, stop this nonsense this instant. We're not buying those.

Useful! Useful! Recommend purchase! [ Haro argues, much to Tieria's chagrin. ] No.

[ He turns around to get away from that particular shelf, hoping to discourage Haro and comes face-to-face to the person who has been watching him. The first thing he notices are the robotic limbs. An android. Or half an android seeing how the remaining of his body seem biological. Interesting... ]

Do you need something?

[ OOC: I have a permission post for Tieria HERE. ]

[allthreefourths]

[ hiccup's always been the hands-on tinkering type, so it's... well, obvious that he'd be at this kind of shop. sure, the tools are a bit ( a lot ) more advanced than he's used to, which is why he'd spent a little too long staring at the selection and--

--before he'd known it, that haro had yoinked one of his hammers from his cart, drifting away to who knows where. so of course he'd chased it when his mind caught up to him, and of course he slows down when it starts speaking to... who hiccup thinks is its owner. a couple steps away from tieria, he speaks. ]

Uh, hey! Actually, if you'd pass that to me, I'll buy it! Because that's what I was going to do, before your... [ what did he call it. with a hint of uncertainty: ] ... Haro, took it.

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria raises an eyebrow at that question with a knowing look. He's so used to this kind of reaction it's not even funny anymore. ]

Why else would I be asking you?

[ Dressed in a simple t-shirt, a pair of training pants and boots, he heads straight for the sparring mat since he has already warmed up earlier. His glasses has been left in the locker for obvious reason. Standing on the mat with no sign of any practiced style, he gesture for Cliff to join him while he pulls his bangs up into a small ponytail. Though, if Cliff notices, his posture is clearly trained. ]

Get moving, Cliff.

[fortheprincess]

[ Well he'll be a good help to Hak, then. ]

Have you noticed anything strange about it?

[ He's doing his own investigation on this place, but he won't mention that just yet. ]

[smokingspirit]

[ Haro would be the name of the robot, right? ]

You're right, Haro-san. You definitely don't have enough of them yet.

[ Just to see what will happen if there's 2-to-1 in the plier argument. ]

B

[garbage_can]

[ Man, look at all the stuff Yuusei can't afford. He's scanning the shelves anyway, making mental note of how much he will need. It's honestly a little frightening how much it costs. He'd take a junk yard over a shop like this any day. Another mental note to look into scavenging parts and tools.

Then he sees the robot. Yuusei can't help but stare a bit, before his gaze drifts up to the robot's owner (?). He nods a greeting, silently. ]

[soulist]

[ Cyrus can't help but smirk at the two of them. Complete opposites it seems. But he'll blink when addressed. Oh, right, he was staring huh? Good job Cyrus... ]

No. Sorry. I-I didn't mean to stare. Your robot just seems...so much more mild mannered than the crazy ones running around this place. It's refreshing to see. [ Here he'll cough as he looks around the shop. ]

It's from your own world, right? Or did you build here?

[sjokolade]

[If there was one thing that Anna hated more than anything? It being told that she had a project to do! And the worst part? She only had 2 weeks to finish it for an upcoming drama show coming up! With all her might, she tried her best to complete it but even then? She wasn't completely happy with it.

Which was why as Anna took it to the television studio, the once hyper and cheerful young woman had frustration written on her face. This was what happened when someone pulled an all nighter to finish something]

Uh...excuse me, you know where I'm suppose to put this thing? Someone told me to give to the TV station but I don't know where!

[buildyourworld]

[ This Haro has always been a little mischievous but Tieria certainly didn't expect it to steal from someone. Giving the bot a stare, he steps forward and hands the hammer back to the young man. ]

Here. I apologize for it's misbehavior. [ Meanwhile, Haro keeps quiet now that it realizes it's in trouble.

Noticing the amount of hammers in the young man's cart, he raises a curious brow. ]

Are you a builder?

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria is about to leave the current shelf when he has Haro return to his basket when the stranger nods at him. Back when he was proud of being chosen by Veda, he would have ignored the man but he had since learned the way humans communicate.

But Tieria still isn't someone who would initiate conversation unless he has a reason to, so all he does is nods back and proceeds to walk pass the stranger, intending to check the shelves next to him for some nuts and bolts. ]
