that's me. though we call them mobile suits where i come from!

[ Hey, Elan's just learned the terminology himself from people calling him a mech pilot, so it could be spelled like that for all he knows. ]

[frostfist]

A mobile suit...that would make sense. Are they common where you're from.

Oh, and thanks for the save, by the way.

[gundemn]

sure, if you're among the people who can afford them
hey np. treat me and we'll call it even

[frostfist]

Sure. Just name a time and place.

I'd say if you're rich enough to afford one of those suits then you'd be rich enough to afford what you want here, but I suppose we're all back to square one now. It's nice that they let you keep the suit though.

[gundemn]

kidding, kidding
uhhh yeah very nice of them to kidnap me to use in their wars. they could've done me a favor and just taken the suit

[ He has beef with LILITH...and with his robot. ]

[frostfist]

Hey, they could have killed you outright instead of just kidnapping you.

[ ....Okay, very bad joke. ]

I'll admit, it's not the greatest situation. If you wanted to stage some sort of revolution I doubt anyone would blame you for it, though I personally wouldn't recommend it.

[gundemn]

[ Such a pleasant thought! It's fine, it's crossed Elan's mind, too. ]

i doubt it. they wouldn't want to pilot that thing themselves
they have implants in us that can read our thoughts. kinda puts a damper on revolution

[frostfist]

Is it that hard to pilot? There's enough advanced technology here that I would have assumed such a thing would be easy.

Well, easy after learning all the proper controls.

[gundemn]

anyone can learn to how to pilot it
it's more like
it's cursed

[frostfist]

I'm not very familiar with curses as a whole, so I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate.

[gundemn]

this unit is fitted with forbidden technology
let's just say several test pilots aren't around anymore

[frostfist]

[ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

And they still let people fly that thing? You don't mind flying that thing?

[gundemn]

when have companies been concerned with ethics?
this one was especially corrupt

[frostfist]

You've got a point there. How'd you get roped into working for them anyway?

[gundemn]

it was the better of my options

[ He was duped but he's not going to say that. ]

then lilith got ahold of me and you know the rest!

[frostfist]

[ damb. ]

How's this place compare to the last one? Better or worse?

[gundemn]

earth was in bad shape from what i hear but not in *this* bad of a shape

[ Y'know, with all the monsters around. Also he's sorta dodging the question. ]

[frostfist]

Sounds like no matter where you go, people always find a way to doom themselves. By the way, you didn't answer my question.

[ Elan's not free yet. ]

[gundemn]

[ A cage is still a cage no matter how gilded. He's disinterested in examining too closely the misery of his life. But he can say this: ]

i'd pick the earth without monsters any day. wouldn't you?

[frostfist]

Sure. Though plenty of humans are just monsters in disguise.

[ He's really determined to make this conversation as depressing as possible, huh? ]

Though I've lived all my life in a place full of monsters so I can't say I mind it too much. None of them quite so big as the kaiju here though.

[gundemn]

[ Ok but the man speaks the truth. Elan likes this thread of conversation better anyway because it's finally turned away from himself. ]

doesn't it suck
how do you go anywhere with monsters crawling the earth?

[frostfist]

Easy. I don't go out.

[ Seriously, he just stays in a prison underwater 24/7. ]

Jokes aside, there are plenty of other people willing to fight them and keep them from spreading. It makes my afternoon visits to the cafe for pastries a lot easier.

[gundemn]

[ What. ]

too bad we're the monster fighters here. they don't even pay us well!

[ Please he would like to eat pastries while someone else does the fighting. ]

[frostfist]

You could always try bargaining for a pay raise. Or pick up a second and third job to supplement this one.

[ Not that he really recommends working oneself to death. ]

[gundemn]

or we could go on strike
forcing us to work multiple jobs to get by is cruel don't you think?
