[Nepeta stands behind a brightly decorated stall in one of the main areas of Freyr, looking bright and chipper and even more excited than usual.

"Black and Blue" is the name announced across the front of the stall, with lots of not-completely-professionally drawn pictures of the services offered at Equius’ and her shop.

She has a smile on her face as she cheerfully accosts passers-by, offering them a tray of cupcakes, and she seems to have enlisted Aurthour to do the same, while Pounce carries an open bag of sweets in her mouth to draw people in.

Nepeta and Pounce both have a cute black and blue ribbon tied above one ear, and Aurthour seems to have acquired the same as a bowtie. Oh! And it looks like a certain glowering moirail of Nepeta’s has been talked into wearing the same as he presides behind the stall.]

Come visit us at Black and Blue! The best service station in Asgard!

[The only one, actually, but shh. She’s having too much fun with this.]

[ Wait, what.

Did that seriously actually work?

What is happening.

He is clearly taken aback for a while, but snaps out of it soon enough. Shakes his head. ]

Yes! Definitely!

[Weird troll word association.]

I said consider. I will fetch a copy, see what it appears, and if it expresses as I wish it to.

I have completely confidence you won't regret it.

That remains to be seen... But, for now, it is a consideration for another solar cycle.

Another solar cycle?

Right... you call them days.

Oh. Yeah. A solar cycle to me is a ... bit of a longer period.

Full seasonal cycles? We refer to those as sweeps. They don't translate perfectly to human societies however.

No, even longer than that. The cycle of the sun. Nothing to do with the planets around it.

the life cycle of the stellar body? That is a bit beyond anything I would think in terms of, to be honest.

I think that's what most people think of when they hear "solar cycle."

Perhaps in your world... but really that separation is not exactly worth arguing about. Different worlds, different phrasings.

Well, yes. I wasn't arguing, exactly.

I expect not, but some seem to think it is, so it gets confusing what their intentions are, and I don't believe I was ever known for my conversational empathetical skills.

I'm not always, either.

Anyway, I heard you build robots. I'd love to hear about those.

Extensively, but it's something that I think would require extra time to handle properly. Come by my house sometime and we can sit down. I will show you one of my creations. It is inopperable, but the robot chassy was returned to me by the gods, I suppose as a reminder.

Oh, does it have to wait?

[ Patience is not his forte.

Well, it's better than it used to be. But he prefers to not have to use it. ]

Hmmm... I will answer individual questions you have, but I would still prefer to show off my work. Acceptable?

Oh, I would definitely like to see it, make no mistake. Deal.

So what sort of robots do you make?

Trolloid construction mostly, some hoofbeasts and hooved musclebeasts. Mostly training dummies, though some were designed as combatant droids. The crowning achievements were capable of housing a dead spirit under certain circumstances.

A dead spirit?

[ ... Hm. ]

How?

Internal technological constructions and brain matrixes capable of handling a Troll intellect in binary form. The technique was not entirely different from the method used to transport us into the game, if I understand it correctly, though to be honest it was a production I only truly and completely perfected once we had actually entered the game world so there is an exceptional likelihood that the game itself impacted the viability of it. Her spirit may very well have been partially digitized.

(OOC: Translation - I have no damned clue. So he's going to just babble some shit for a while.)

Hmmm ...

Not sure I like that.

Quite frankly, having her spirit out of its think pan wasn't exactly what you'd refer to as an ideal situation. Generally, the dead stay dead and don't interact with the living, outside of dream bubbles apparently that is. However, she still lingered and her presence was required for the operating faculties of this game to have played out properly, so we had to do something rather than have her float around.

Besides, she was unbelievably morose while dead.

Mmmmm. And how was it supposed to turn out?
