Equius' Workshop

Subject: Equius' Workshop Thu Sep 08, 2016 4:44 pm

Equius' workshop is quite the mess. Robot parts scattered everywhere, towels hanging on every feasible surface, a fridge stocked with muscle-beast milk. The smell of sweat permeates the air, and a faint mist hazes around the floor. The workshop has a small living area attached, which requires a handprint scan.

Equius awoke at his desk, the remains of yesterdays machine still in front of him. It had been a few days since he had finished working on the last major project and he had mostly wasted his time since then.

He sighed. There was no use in pushing it off anymore, it was time to finally decide what to work on next. But he couldn't make up his mind, so his only option was to get it over with, leave his precious workshop and actually go out among other people. The walk to the Palace didn't take TOO long, but it was still unpleasant. Still better then just sitting around though.

He rose from his chair, brushed his clothes of, ordered his hair a little and went outside.

Equius enters his workshop and holds the door open for Eridan

D--> Hmm
D--> Those beasts can take quite a punch, but that should be doable
D--> Firearms with a non-lethal option are a great idea, I will see what I can do for that
D--> For the ships, did you not use to collect books and other writing about naval things? If I could give those a 100k, perhaps they will spark some ideas
D--> And, uh, I cannot help with the seahorse
D--> Unless you want me to make a robotic one
D--> That...
D--> Could actually be quite fun to f001 around with

D--> What are you talking about?
D--> Wait
D--> Are you taking my phrasing in some kind of 100d way?
D--> Just what are you e%pecting from me?
D--> That is 100dicrous, f001ishness of the highest degree
D--> Who would desire such crude things from a sea horse, preposterous

Equius seems upset and sweaty

*Nice to have a reasonably normal conversation for once. Straight business, none of these emotional theatrics that his talks usually devolve into.
He turns and heads out the door*

Innsta quietly opens the door to the workshop.
Equius?

Equius is working on some thing at the moment.
Bend over an open machine, his hair bound in the back. He is focused.
Because of this, it isn't untill he looks up to search for a towel that he sees that someone has entered his workshop.

D--> Are you 100king for me?

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Uh, yeah...
Innsta walked into the room, not really looking at Equius.
So........ You know nepeta, right? What am I saying, of course you know her. Well, um, something may have happened to her.

Posts : 39 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 31

Equius instantly snapped to full attention

D--> What happened, I need to know

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Innsta jumped back slightly.
O-oh! Uh, Meenah may have cracked her head open? Possibly? It was a pretty loud crack when she kit the stree. *Tree, sorry. So um, she's kind of going to the hospital now. In case you wantedto know
Innsta gave a laugh out of nervousness.
I'm sure she'll be fine though!

Equius stumbles a few steps backwards and falls/sits down on a chair.

D--> Oh
D--> Oh no, how could that have happened?
D--> E%plain to me, why did Meenah attack Nepeta, what madness could have driven our empress to do such a thing?

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Well, um, It's kind of a long story, but basically Nepeta went all psycho and tried murdering Karkat, I saved him of course, then she ran off and karkat ran to find her and told me to get some help. So I got meenah and aradia decided to tag along. We then went back to the wilderness and Meenah dropped down onto Nepeta's face and smacked her into a tree.
Innsta paused.
That was much shorter than I thought.

Equius jumps to his feet

D--> This has to be a missunderstanding, there is no way that Nepeta would attack Karkat
D--> Tell me where he is, I need to talk to him immediately

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Last time I saw him he was in the wilderness, but he's probably heading back to the palace now. Or the hospital. He seemed pretty torn up over Nepeta's injury... So one of those should be right.

Equius nods.

He steps towards the door.

D--> Please excuse me

Posts : 239 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 25

Innsta quickly moves out of his way.

Posts : 39 Join date : 2016-09-07 Age : 31

Equius dashes out of the door.

After making sure Equius was gone, Innsta absconded out of the building.
