[Dist is out in his driveway, meticulously working with the Kaiser's gun. He'd been a bit nervous about powering him up, but unlike last time he didn't start sparking and exploding, so Dist decided to count his blessings. Later on he would do a more thorough inspection, but for the moment his main project was modifying the gun to fire something other than its specialized fonic shells. Nails had seemed like a cheap and effective alternative, and as such he'd built up a stack of them sizable enough to build himself a second house. Now, the only thing to do would be to load it up and see if it could fire them in the first place to determine just how much modification would be necessary... so, naturally, he loaded the gun up and aimed it at the lawn.

Another thirty or so seconds later, the lawn, the side of the house, and half of the car are riddled with hot nails. The gun had fired, but it had spun wildly out of control; the only reason Dist hadn't been run through was because he'd been holding it from behind. Completely unperturbed, he sits himself down in the Kaiser's cockpit and begins to take the gun apart.]

It's just so damn hilarious, though. The Major General could kick your puny ass six ways 'til Sunday! Hell, I bet she did!

She could not. No one can beat Dist the Rose that easily, let alone that wretched harpy.

Bet you're not so tough when you're not hidin' in that piece of scrap.

I can handle myself! I just like the Kaiser; he's gorgeous and efficient.

"Yeah, you handled yourself real well back there when I messed up that pretty boy face of yours."

[Grins like the jackass he is.]

"And I'm sorry, but that thing is ugly as sin."

lol I see what you did there

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You just caught me by surprise!

[He hops down out of the Kaiser, just to prove his point.]

And how would you know? You just destroy machines! You don't know anything about efficient design!

[Folds his arms and laughs.]

"Got news for ya, buddy - I wasn't even usin' half of my real strength back there. I just don't want to lose my trump card before I get to use it against the town."

[Sneers up at the Kaiser.]

"I ain't gonna waste it on somethin' like this."

Good! Because you couldn't! So don't even try!

[Dist crosses his own arms, mirroring.]

I've taken down bigger pieces of scrap than this before. Don't get cocky.

'Bout half the time. Used a sword too, sometimes.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
People have tried to cut down the Kaiser! If you can't perform any artes, you're not going to get very far!

Oh yeah? One of those physically resistant kinds, huh? Braska always took care of the heavy hitting with spells 'n stuff like that.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You could say that. But people lose their abilities here, so I have nothing to worry about.

Right up 'till somebody who hates machina gets back their lightning magic.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph. It's a stupid superstition.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
What is? Magic? Man, you're in for a pretty rude awakening if that's what you really think.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Your hatred of machines. We have fonists where I'm from; I don't need artes to be powerful, though.

There's always a bigger fish.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in the realm of fon machinery.

Nobody's built one bigger than that? That's kinda sad. It isn't even that big.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The Albiore is larger, but that doesn't mean anything. Besides, the critical parts came from the Dawn Age; none of them really invented anything. They couldn't even manage to make something fly without help from a hover drive.

[Yawns. Science is for nerds.]
