CURRENT purrinceFish [CPF] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CPF: 3833 < *T)(e two boys were toget)(er for t)(eir building excersizes.*
CCT: 8=D < * Horuss trotted down the hall from h*s block, lugg*ng a tool bo% under h*s arm w*th h*m. H*s heart was rac*ng, he hadnt remembered the last t*me he had felt th*s...happy. It was a sense of belong*ng, and so very STRONG. He had come to th*s sh*p for a reason. He had never e%pected the new env*ronment to fl*p h*s l*fe around so fru*tfully. He passed the atr*um, and entered *nto the tech lab. He had a mo*ra*l. A mo*ra*l and many other fr*ends. And he was already there, just as they had planned. Horuss beamed br*ghter than both of the spr*tes comb*ned could glow, sett*ng h*s tools down. *
CCT: 8=D < I hope you are prepared! Im mare than ready to beg*n. Shall we?
CMT: Hell yeah, lay down them sick lessons on me bro
CCT: 8=D < * Horuss searches h*mself a moment, the presence of an absent m*nd apparent.* Aha, * He pulls out a few folded papers from h*s pocket and p*cks up a board from h*s bo%. He smooths them out, and cl*ps them on, br*n*ng them back to Dave. * We w*ll start out w*th someth*ng m*nute but helpfoal. You w*ll not*ce I hoof troted down a few notes and equat*ons, *n wh*ch hopef*lly you w*ll understand as the lesson unfoalds.
CCT: 8=D < * He hands *t to h*m* The b100pr*nts are on the top there.
CCT: 8=D < * It wasnt anythn*ng comple%, a bas*c *nstruct*on of creat*ng a bot, shrunk down to the s*ze of a hand. It called for less comple% features than what an e%per*enced eng*neer would bu*ld.* I w*ll create one r*ght along w*th you. You w*ll do as I do.
CMT: Alright yo, I'm like your mirror yo, all like a shadow *this is, in fact, exactly what he planned to be when he first met horuss*
CCT: 8=D < Copy*ng *s the best teacher! * He gr*ns.* You w*ll be brush*ng the surface of maney areas, *nclud*ng c*rcu*try, phys*cs, adjustment of var*ables, and the e%ternal framework. You bay even add cosmet*c touches at the coltclus*on *f you w*sh, though that *s an unne*ghcessary deta*l for funct*on.
CCT: 8=D < I w*ll hoof a close eye on you *f you make a marestake. We can backtrot and f*% the *ssue.
CMT: Alright cool, be patient yo
CMT: gonna be my first time
CMT: have only even had hands for like 2 weeks
CCT: 8=D < Ne*gh rush. We hoof ponyful t*me. Ill make those hooves born to sm*th and repa*r sh*re qu*rt*ty mach*nes.
CCT: 8=D < * He walks over to a ;arge work brench, brush*ng *t off of *ts e%cess mater*als and debr*s. He pats *ts top, * We w*ll be work*ng here. * He rer*eves h*s tool bo% and pulls *t to the s*de of the bench, pull*ng up a cha*r for Dave.*
CCT: 8=D < Oh, r*ght, youre a spr*te. * He butted h*s palm *nto h*s forehead. It was *nst*ct to offer a seat, as were h*s manners.*
CMT: *laughs and points down, reminding horuss of his legs he totally poofed up recently*
CCT: 8=D < Of horse! I suppose *ts *snt ent*rely vo*d then, ahahaha. * He sp*ns the cha*r around.* Please, take a seat fr*end.
CMT: *he takes this seat, he straight up STEAAAALS this seat, plants his ass like a bomb* alright lets get started yo
CCT: 8=D < Lets. One moment. * He reaches *nto h*s tool bo% and retr*eves a pa*r of gloves, sl*pp*ng them on and strapp*ng them securely around h*s hands. He fl*ps and locks an embedded sw*tch at the wr*sts, fle%*ng h*s hands.* Thats about r*ght. * He pulls out a number of tools and mater*als, rest*ng them on the bench *n front of Dave and h*mself.*
CMT: Oh man we got some tools to be working with today
CMT: check out this arsenal
CMT: and we're gonna assualt this bluep[rint yo
CCT: 8=D < Yes, so to n*cker, we w*ll approach *t head on. I would l*ke you to ga*n a foal for each tack, although we w*ll ne*ght be us*ng all of th*s for the f*rst sess*on. I w*ll per*o*dcally qu*z you on what we*lds what funct*on, unt*l you know each l*ke the back of your hoof.
CMT: Alright yo, got it, pop quizes! hell yeah
CMT: pop them on me
CMT: but like
CMT: you know later
CPF: 3833 < *A small knock appears on t)(e door.*
CMT: Oh snap, other studens joining us?
CMT: *he says laughing no knowing anyone else would be coming*
CPF: 3833 < *T)(ere is anot)(er knock, wit)( a small.* S)(ello?
CMT: Oh snap, it's my main sprite fefeta, how you doing yo? come on in
CPF ceased responding to memo.
CCT: 8=D < * He sm*les w*th a h*nt of m*sche*f, plann*ng on to test h*m on what knowledge he m*ght possess now. He p*cked up a couple of tools, about to say someth*ng, when he heard the knock of the door.* No there shouldnt be anypony else- * He turns and sees Fefeta.* Fefeta?
CMT made PF an OP.

CCT: 8=D < * He sm*les w*th a h*nt of m*sche*f, plann*ng on to test h*m on what knowledge he m*ght possess now. He p*cked up a couple of tools, about to say someth*ng, when he heard the knock of the door.* No there shouldnt be anypony else- * He turns and sees Fefeta.* Fefeta?
CCT: 8=D < * He scours the area qu*ckly over h*s shoulders, 100k*ng back at her. * Greet*ngs...
CPF: 3833 < Sorry to bot)(er yoar lesson...is it okelp if I sit in on it fur a w)(ile?
CCT: 8=D < Ne*gh I do not maned. * He g*ves a sort of d*ssapo*nted 100k at the *tems *n h*s hands, sett*ng them back down.* Pardon *f *t seems rude of me, but, do you hoof perm*ss*on to be *n th*s w*ng of the sh*p?
CPF: 3833 < I...suppose I don't....I can leave... *S)(e furrows )(er brow and starts to turn.*
CMT: Naw naw
CMT: hold up
CMT: you have to be here for a reason tho
CMT: lay that shit down on us
CMT: you seem down
CMT: can't have our fefeta being down yo
CCT: 8=D < Ne*gh, thats not what I meant. * Horuss d*dnt want her down, but he d*dnt want to make *t worse by perm*tt*ng her to stay *n an area off l*m*ts, wh*ch could have potent*al consquences of somebody else saw.* I bel*eve the paddocks to be vacolt at the moment, as*de from Dave and I. You ne*gh stay, but I forwarn you not to draught too much attent*on.
CCT: 8=D < * He cont*nues sm*l*ng, *f not sweat*ng a b*t. He would try to make sure she wasnt caught *f *t came down to *t.* N*cker to us what a*ls you Fefeta.
CCT: 8=D < We would be mare than obl*ged to l*sten.
CPF: 3833 < Of course...I won't be loud. *S)(e smiles slig)(tly and came inside.* I don't want to interupt....mew go a)(ead and k33p going...I can )(ide if somefis)( comes along.
CMT: .....Wanna tell us why you're here though?
CPF: 3833 < W)(ale I do want to talk latepurr...
CMT: Hmmm well ok fair enough ,I was just about to get schooled by horuss here
CCT: 8=D < Agreed. We can spare a moment to n*cker *f Dave *snt busy ponyder*ng too hard w*th h*s ass*gnment.
CCT: 8=D < * He wh*ckers softly and p*cks up the two tools aga*n.* Because he *s rec*ev*ng a qu*z out of the b100 r*ght now~
CMT: Oh snap
CMT: is it happening
CMT: are we making this happen?
CCT: 8=D < We are currently mak*ng th*s happen.
CCT: 8=D < Prepare yourself.
CCT: 8=D < * In one hand he has a solder*ng gun, and *n the other, a rotary tool. He holds the gun out to h*m, * Tell me what you bel*eve th*s to be.
CMT: Oh shit, this is a soldering gun, it's for messing with wires and shit, it's pretty much welding but for wires and shit, though that other tool you got me on bro
CCT: 8=D < Correct. * He places the solder*ng gun down, and holds out the other *tem.* Th*s *s POWER tack, better known as a roantary tool. It *s preset to conta*n a var*ety of rotat*ng accessory b*ts and attachments that can be used for coltt*ng, carv*ng, sand*ng, pol*sh*ng and maney other appl*colt*ons.
CMT: oh man it's like the damn batman belt of tools yo
CCT: 8=D < * He stares at h*m w*th blank goggle covered eyes, hav*ng no *dea what that even meant.*
CCT: 8=D < I do ne*ght understand th*s reference.
CMT: Batman is a dude with a lot of gadgets on his belt and parent problems
CMT: the problem being he doesn't have any
CCT: 8=D < My, he sounds l*ke an *nterest*ng *nd*v*dual. My condolences for h*s loss. It *s not easy to lack human lus**, I am sure. You w*ll hoof to n*cker a hello to h*m for me.
CCT: 8=D < * Th*nks *s a leg*tamate everyday felloq w*th a very strange name*
CMT: ..........I'll be sure to do that *bro my god*
CPF: 3833 < *S)(e listens, watc)(ing t)(em. S)(e was )(appy to )(ave two wonderful friends...and...one now very awkward one...*
CCT: 8=D < * He nods happ*ly.* Great. * Horuss p*cks up two more tools, * Th*s w*ll be the last pa*r I w*ll br*efly test you on. The rest I w*ll prepare as h*vework for you. * He *s hold*ng a weld*ng torch and d*g*tal cal*pers.* Do you know what these are?
CMT: Well seeing as I compared a tool earlier to it, I do in fact know what a welding torch is, as for the the other one, again got me
CCT: 8=D < The d*g*tal cal*pers *s a prec*s*on *nstrument that can be used to ne*ghsure *nternal and e%ternal d*stances w*th e%treme accuracy.
CCT: 8=D < * He sets each back onto the bench.*
CMT: oh shit man, sweet
CMT: all learning and shit
CPF: 3833 < *S)(e didn't even mean to and s)(e was learning. Great!*
CCT: 8=D < Now, lets crow hop to the mane event. * Double puns yes.*
CMT: *Oh snap nice one bro* let us do that yo
CCT: 8=D < * He pulls out the bluepr*nts and c*rcles h*s f*nger around the large *mage that adorned *ts center, w*th notes and part*al sketches float*ng around *t. * A challenge every art*san faces *s how to beg*n a project, and of any scale. Obv*ously, larger comm*s*ons w*ll cast mare *nt*m*dat*on. Instead of becom*ng overwhelmed by the b*g p*cture, we must assert our ab*l*t*es w*th prowess, *gnore the s*ze, and take *t b*t by b*t.
CCT: 8=D < I personallly reccomend that every eng*neer beg*n w*th a rough draught, as *s the eas*est way to canter along f*elds that requ*re abso100tue prec*s*on. Its a bad *dea to beg*n w*th your actual mater*als, for *f you m*scaluclate, you hoof wasted both effort and resources.
CCT: 8=D < Instead, cons*der plann*ng all of the equat*ons, measurements, and des*gns out ahead of t*me. Th*s w*ll ensure your *dea *s barebacked by a full proof manual, and all you need to do *s follow *ts lead.
CMT: *holy fuck he was a good engineer* alright that is some good advice *he begins looking over the blueprints closly*
CCT: 8=D < When you actually beg*n bu*ld*ng your *dea, you must bear *n maned where to start. Everypony has the*r own method, and *t can vary from project to project. I e*ther beg*n f*rst w*th the outer frame and from there, work on the *nternal components of an atomaton. Its s*m*lar to f*tt*ng a puzzle together w*th the border already set *n place. My other method *s the e%act oppos*te. Th*s *s beg*nn*ng from the core of the creat*on.
CCT: 8=D < You can make connect*ons to the b100dpusher of a work, and then branch out from there to the rest of the form, gradually mak*ng *t whole. It depends ent*rely on how one v*ews th*ngs. A style, per say.
CCT: 8=D < It *s unw*se to take someth*ng sect*ons. Bray, you were to complete the des*gn for a pa*r of legs, but not yet the rest of the body. If a marestake was *nvolved along the way, *t would result *n the eng*neer hoof*ng to go back and take apart what he just bu*lt to f*nd the solut*on.
CCT: 8=D < * He watches Dave pat*ently, hop*ng what *s sa*d- and read- *s understood.*
CMT: *he thinks about what was just said* ok...I'm not gonna lie, a bit overwhelmed I don't even know where to stop
CCT: 8=D < Thats alr*ght. * He taps a f*nger aga*nst h*s ch*n thoughtfully, try*ng to f*gure a way to reword *t so *t *s more s*mple.*
CCT: 8=D < What I mane *s th*s. Each eng*neer has a spec*f*c preference of approach*ng the*r work. You are ent*tled to custom*ze your own methods to hoofever you foal f*t, but, *n general, you should know at least three mane ways to beg*n the bu*ld*ng process.
CCT: 8=D < You wouldnt want to saddle up the horse and end up foal*ng off as soon as you tr*ed to mount *t.
CCT: 8=D < You can beg*n w*th the core processor and branch out, or des*gn the frame, the body of the creat*on f*rst, and put the deta*ls together *ns*de *t.
CMT: ohhh so i should have a good plan that flows smoothly and doesn't make me do any unneccesary extra
CCT: 8=D < Prec*sely. W*thout an adequ*ne flow, you w*ll steer off hoofbeat. You want to save your self the horseal to prevent a needless work load. It *s very *mportant you hoof e%ecuted the r*ght foaldat*on, because *f not, the rest of the bu*ld*ng process w*ll be madden*ng.
CPF ceased responding to memo.
CMT: Ahhhh ok, so we're making some legs right?
CCT made MT an OP.
CCT: 8=D < * He gestures to the des*gn thats drawn out aga*n.* In part. I would l*ke make the ent*re m*n*ature atomaton. Ill beg*n w*th the f*rst step. Watch closely, and repeat after me. * He gathers mater*als and tools, and beg*ns man*pulat*ng an outer frame.*
CCT made PF an OP.
CMT: *he begins working, getting some pointers from his bro
CCT: 8=D < * They beg*n work*ng on each of the*r bots. It was fa*rly easy for Horuss, but, *f the t*me called for h*m to correct h*s apprent*ce or answer a quest*on, he would gu*de h*m back on track. The t*me spent seemed to go qu*ckly, at least for h*m. Eventually, the sess*on was f*n*shed, and the bots were complete.*

CCT: 8=D < Well, what do you th*nk of these two l*ttle marevels? Do you foal l*ke you understand the bas*c concepts better hoov*ng e%per*enced *t hoofs on?
CPF: 3833 < I t)(ink t)(ey are beautifur
CCT: 8=D < * He 100ks back at Fefeta, who had been abnormally qu*et for what seemed l*ke forever. It had almost sl*pped h*s m*nd that she was even there, as engrossed as he became. Horuss sm*les w*dely at her.* Thankyou, Fefeta. I am really qu*te proud of Dave here.
CCT: 8=D < He *s as a smart as a r*d*ng crop. I wasnt for certa*n at what ga*t he would lasso on, but *t has not been d*ssapo*nt*ng.
CCT: 8=D < Outstand*ng preformance, Davespr*te <>.

CPF made CT an OP.
CMT: So fefeta, gonna finally let us know what's up yo?
CPF: 3833 < O)( u)(m...w)(ale....I was )(anging out wit)( )(earts and we purrlayed a game of go fis)( and I bet a secret and lost so I told )(im t)(at I liked )(im...purr)(aps more t)(en furronds...and )(e got all blu)( and said t)(at it couldn't be and t)(at it wouldn't be good fur me.
CCT: 8=D < *Horuss props h*s ch*n *n h*s hand, th*nk*ng to h*mself.* Hmm... I wonder why he would phrase *t that way. * He couldnt see any faults *n Fefeta.* Im sorry to hear that. Perhaps he foalt that *t was too qu*ck of a move?
CPF: 3833 < I...don't t)(ink so...)(e was being all r33ly sw33t and close earlier in t)(e visit. *S)(e frowns slig)(tly.*
CMT: Hmm did he give any specifics on why yo?
CPF: 3833 < )(e said it would be best fur me.
CMT: But did he say why?
CPF: 3833 < No...
CMT: Well that's a load of *this ones for my bro* horse shit yo, dude so obviously got feels for ya, we he gotta go do that?

CPF: 3833 < *t)(ink
CMT: *oh shit right she got troll memories* nothing just some movie about dancing gang fights or something doesn't matter, still dude is wack
CPF: 3833 < O)(....I...guess I don't r33ly know w)(at I would say...s)(ould I just...not say anyfin?
CCT: 8=D < * Thankyou bro, much apprec*ated* I am not so sure about a gang.. * He leans back aga*nst the bench. Horuss wouldnt know whether he was or wasnt, s*nce he never knew much of that crowd. Also, would they even allow someone of that h*story on the sh*p?* Ne*gh, I th*nk there *s a mutual endearment as well.. I rec*eve a STRONG sensat*on *n h*s demaneor that he ne*gh very well lean toward be*ng flushed, or at least a crush.
CCT: 8=D < He seems too conf*dent for me to bel*eve he *s n*cker*ng th*s out of low self esteem, or nervousness. Ne*gh.. I th*nk rather... It seems l*ke hes h*d*ng someth*ng s*gn*f*cant from you.
CCT: 8=D < My thoughts are, *f he *snt able to calmly *dent*fy to you what that *s, and cont*nues to avo*d do*ng so, that whatever *t m*ght be, *t *snt benevolent.
CPF: 3833 < Purr)(aps t)(at is true... *S)(e sig)(s.* Maybe it is fur t)(e betpurr, rig)(t? *)(er voice starts to crack.* W)(y am I f33line so sad t)(en?

CMT: Hell yeah, yo, gotta march up to this dude
CMT: tell him you getting some answers
CMT: and refuse no for an answer
CMT: gotta lay down that fefeta law, say that shit with me "I'm getting some answers yo"
CCT: 8=D < There *s ne*ghth*ng wrong w*th foal*ng glum. I can understand that. To deny someth*ng that he obv*ously feels for you, enjoys, and knows you rec*procate, ra*ses maney a quest*on. He w*ll be stubborn about *t *f he coltnt the f*rst t*me around, be warned.
