the robolution is now ~ [video]

[droidrights]

[ Is there some scuffle? The camera sends jarred pictures from the cavern at the bay, anyway, and then a clang of metal hitting metal. A moment later, a robotic foot comes into view. Looks like someone has just kicked the pod they woke up in.

A moment later, a robot comes into focus. A grumbling robot, who is plucking the silk and soft padding from her frame on which she had been pillowed when she woke up - and which had promptly gotten stuck in all these exposed, moving parts that make her frame. ]

If this is how you repair droids, I want a chat with your engineers!

[ Her head dome swivels and tilts forward, focusing on the small lens of the camera. ]

Are you here, Lando? This is exactly the kind of trouble you would get us into.

It better. I like my frame... though I wouldn't mind being a battle droid every now and then.

[quick_clean_pure]

There's at least one or two other droids here, though I don't know if they're battle droids. Not sure I know what type they are, really.

[droidrights]

You have droids? What function do they serve here?

[quick_clean_pure]

I'm not sure. I've only talked to one of them a couple of times. I'm not sure what his function is apart from just, I dunno, living here.

[droidrights]

I will have to investigate. Thank you.

[ She thinks for a moment. ]

I'm a droid who just lives, too. I choose my own function.

[quick_clean_pure]

Well, I mean, you might like it here. Far as I know, you don't have to do anything here, job-wise, that you don't want to.

I mean, you need a job to get money for rent and shit, but you can pick which one.

[droidrights]

[ She thinks for a moment. ]

The pamphlet didn't make it sound like you need spaceship pilots here.

[quick_clean_pure]

I'm not sure. Haven't seen any spaceships here myself, but then again, it's a big city.

[droidrights]

I will check. Don't really know what else I would want to do. I've always been a pilot.

[quick_clean_pure]

There's usually job listings in the paper they got here. You could check those out. They might have something, or at least give some ideas.

[droidrights]

Thank you, that is a useful suggestion. I will do that. Maybe I can find a place where they need someone to do punching.

[ Don't, L3. You're a navigator, not a battle robot. ]

[quick_clean_pure]

Well, I mean, I think they're looking for city guardians so that may be a decent route to look at.

[droidrights]

I will look into it!

[ Even if she has no idea what that job is. But maybe it involves choking assholes. ]

[quick_clean_pure]

Good plan. Can't hurt to try for it if nothing else. Probably it's gotta pay nice.

[droidrights]

I like being paid nice. I'm always in need of more parts.

[quick_clean_pure]

Being paid's the best. Gotta love payday.

[droidrights]

At least on these days you get paid. Sometimes you get conned and then it ends with having to run for your life.

[quick_clean_pure]

Yeah that sounds like it'd be a pretty shitty day.

[droidrights]

It is. I've had too many of them, too.

[quick_clean_pure]

Ouch. How've you handled them?

[droidrights]

Running's good, for the most part. Talking your way out of trouble, too, my partner's good at that.

[quick_clean_pure]

Nice. I'm a fan of both. Who's your partner?

[droidrights]

Lando Calrissian, Captain of the Millennium Falcon. He thinks he's famous back home.

[quick_clean_pure]

Ah, all right. Is he not famous?

[droidrights]

Not as much as he thinks he is. I like to remind him of this. Regularly.
