<I'm not blackmailing you! Maybe I should, though, since you're assuming I will...>

"Fair enough. As long as Maria stays to child-friendly paths, it should be fine for Angel to watch."

<She didn't. That's what I was threatening you with. Was. Why does no one listen to me anymore?>

"You WILL be mentally scarred Angel, do not look at it."

"Um..."
<It's nothing that bad...just stuff that-->
"Why am I listening to Nuriel, anyways?"
<Hey!>

Catherine see's a bit of the scene, and immediately dives over to cover Angel's Eyes.
"NOTHING! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"

"Hey! Lemme see!"
<I saw it. I can show it to you.>

Surprisingly passionate, for a self-proclaimed nerdy uncool otaku with no experience in relationships.

Camille would feel insulted.

Angel wanders in on the folks investigating the visual novel.
"What's that?"
((Nice timing.))

Angel wanders to a crag jumper and gets in.

((A thought recently struck me - why are we not rolling for things like handiwork or intelligence (or intuit) in Tinker? I mean, yeah, it's a virtual environment, but it doesn't turn people into geniuses. Handiwork could be handwaved by being able to retry as much as you like I guess, but coming up with and intuiting solutions to designs could take some rolls to achieve. Just a thought.))

((Nooooo! Then we'll get flawed equipment!

I'm guessing that there are two reasons:
1. Tinker gives us a lot of tries, infinite materials, and access to useful reference materials.
2. We put a lot of work into designing these--usually--and shouldn't be penalized for bad luck.))

Pretty simple. As in they can follow orders and such just fine but they can't really learn or adapt to new scenarios  well on their own. When I say you can't hit dog level, I mean you can't instill it with the capacity for problem solving that even a dog has.

How well would it understand syntax?
Sorry to bug you, I'm considering Tinkering up a drone and want a good guess of its AI capabilities before I get started.

Go to the doctor and find out whether Lukas' tokens can be used to fund an upgrade that doesn't require Lukas to dig in before firing his particle cannon.

Can't reduce particle cannon recoil. So either it would require lowering it's damage output or casting new body out of crystallized Iridium. Probably not practical.

((What if you stuck two particle cannons end-to-end? To clarify, non-firing end to non-firing end; the reverse would be silly. If both particle cannons fired at once, the recoil of each would negate the other. Unless the particle cannons destroyed each other. And then there's collateral damage to consider. But hey, there are options.))

She looked down and put a hand on her head, caressing her hair and prepared for the worst. At least..I can make peace with one of them. I should've told Grate earlier.

((You can do both at once. Grate's been following Lyra around for a bit.))

"H-hello Lyra." Ok don't lie. She's..sad. "I-it's Feyri, here."

Grate looks at the robot-person, confused. "But..."

"But, I, FAILED!"
blink more than usual, but ignore the rest of what I'm doing. once tears have made an initial path across your face, you don't feel that much from them after all.
Do not let go of Feyri.
"my fault."

Confused, Grate cautiously pats Lyra on the back.

I thought I PM'd words?
