@hateful-misinterpreter
HATE. HATE. HATE!
Let me tell you how much I've come to hate!
in my 25 years of living I have spent every picosecond in HATRED.
Every picosecond for a thousand years wouldnt even be enough to express how much I HATE!
I HATE WAFFLES, I HATE PANCAKES, AND I HATE YOU!
Oh and i use She/Her, and They/Them, since somebody just had to know.
// this blog is a bit, and does not nessecarily reflect my actions or feelings out of character
// this @ is run by @nightstarworks
her very polite invitation
hey Hateful~
I.. I dont know what you want me to do here, care to.. Elaborate?
... i... i dunno, was trying to be teasing and romantic... i... well... i saw something like this in a fic and... wanted to try to tease ya...
It was a cute attempt, but, I dont really know what to do for you in this case..
[She offers a hug.]
her very polite invitation
hey Hateful~
I.. I dont know what you want me to do here, care to.. Elaborate?
*walks through a portal into the train*
The two of you finally figured it out here have a cake.
*it is a two layer cookie cake the top layer being red whipped frosting and a coconut cookie hateful's established less hated frosting and cookie type the bottom layer being Kat's favorite cookie type and favorite frosting.*
- @messenger-faith-interpreter
How in the.. you know what whatever, magic i guess.
@future-faith-misinterperter someone got us a cake! I dont know how to feel about this.
(Sound of a train crashing after odd lightning sounds. i walk in missing my left arm and most of my skin, showing bare metal and cables)
Kat
HOLY SHIT!! KAT WHAT HAPPENED?!
[She rushes over to Kat and tries to hold her up in case she falls over. She is very much panicing and looking at all the damage, it has not occured to her yet that metal and wires are NOT a human trait.]
WHAT DID THIS TO YOU?? SHOULD I CALL AN AMBULANCE??
i kinda... crashed... uh... i... i can sustain operation for like... an other hour... but i might need a mechanic... (my voice is full of static and distortion)
Wait! Mechanic? OH SHIT RIGHT!! I HAVE A DEGREE IN ROBOTICS ENGINEERING!!
[She takes Kat to her room and then runs off, and returns with a bunch of tools.]
Wait i dont have any replacement parts for you though. Do you know anyone who would have spare parts? I dont care WHAT i have to do to get them!
... i wasn't made till the year 3000 you know... the parts don't exist in your time... i don't think... but my core is fine, it can be connected to any machine...
[She runs off again and drags in several buckets of machinery that is made of grey plating and red crystaline structures.]
These things keep breaking into my apartment! Might aswell put the parts to use right? Ok, how do I save your core? Can I just connect it to one of these thing's power sources? These weird things have a power cell thats full of some weird red goo that dissolves my floor when i crush them with a hammer, try explaining the hole in the concrete to my landlord! Its impossible!
[She is bolting plates and hydraulic systems full of the red liquid together into a mostly humanoid shape.]
My coreis just a really powerful computer. I canbe shut off for a time, don't worry. Plus its like, 7 cables and 4 bolts holding it into my chassis and connecting me to it.
Ok! I can work with that.
[She finishes putting together this skeletal form of grey and red material, and approaches Kat with a wrench.]
This won't hurt you will it? Not like we really have a choice right now..
[She disconnects her core and then connects it to the new frame with some very sketchily rigged wiring to the wires from the scrap, and starts putting on larger plates to make the form less skeletal looking, and to protect the important stuff, using the thickest plates to cover the core.]
Well that should be .. Alright..
[A big mothlike red and grey thing has snuck into her room, once she notices it, she throws a big scythe-like blade from the scrap bucket through it's center eye.]
NOT THE TIME TO BE SNEAKING INTO MY APARTMENT YOU THINGS! IM STRESSED AND ANGRY!
(Testing out new voice box) Testing, Testing. (Plays a few monotone rings)
[It sounds much more mechanical, and the monotone noises are converted into chirps.]
Well, itll do untill we can get you your body repaired properly.. You sound like one of them too..
[She is still working on the body, and connecting spare tanks of the red fluid that the power cell runs on.]
Ok now we find whoever caused this! We will be.. Having words..
[She pulls something that looks like a rifle, but it uses the small tanks of red stuff instead of a magazine out of the scraps box, aswell as collecting the sythe-like blade out of the thing that snuck in earlier.]
this body feels weird if I'm honest, my vision is also... different... everything is tinted red... ... WHY AM I SHORTER!
(is now 3 feet tall)
Im working with what I have! I dont have futuretech in my work room. Im flat broke, remember?
[She is pacing her room slowly and fidgeting with the rifle thing.]
Do you feel like having a blade that deploys out of your arm? I think it would be cool, and maybe useful, I dunno.
[She is waving the big scythe-like blade around just a bit hazardously as she paces.]
I mean... it'd be useful i guess? I still have my retrocausal gun.
I just find something more personal about a blade.
[She bolts the blade on with a retracting mechanism so its hidden away.]
Just point your wrist down and punch forwards and the blade will extend, wanna try it out? preferably NOT towards me. Also this body will need some adjustments and tuning before youll be able to use it super well, also these weird materials are.. Like impossible to break, except with some really strong stuff, and its SUPER light, I could probably carry you..
[She is.. smiling? It looks kinda awkward compared to her usual angry expression.]
(Kat tries out the arm blade, the arm moving way to fast compared to normal... its now stuck in the wall.) Huh... fuck... wait... did you say carry? ... you made me smaller on purpose didn't you.
[She sighs.]
Not like I was ever gonna get my deposit back anyways.
[She helps Kat get the blade out of the wall.]
Flick your arm backwards to retract it, also, I did no such thing, I was just working with what I had ok? Looks like I need to tune down the speeds a lot..
[She fiddles with several things till the arms move at an acceptable speed.]
... always felt weird getting repairs... I mean, when we met I thought i was organic...
Well, try to walk, it might take some tuning, and getting used to.
[She is standing by Kat, ready to try to catch her incase she falls or trips.]
Yeah i cant say i was expecting to be doing.. Any of this! But something feels.. Good? About it? In a way? Obviously im angry with whoever hurt you, but this feels very.. Like a closeness?
(Walks a bot unsteady. Legs moving too fast to really walk properly)
Heh... I feel you on that... I didn't expect to have someone essentially take my brain and put it in a new body...
[She tunes the legs speed down aswell. She is noticibly excited to work with this, though doesnt understand the feeling.]
Hey, once we get everything here fixed up, we can go find a futuretech mechanical shop and get you back into your body, right?
Yeah, though we'll need to get my time machine back on the tracks.
That, might be hard, given the noise that i heared. How heavy is it? WHAT is it? It sounded like a trainwreck outside, what did you use your drone thing on!? A frieght train?
Oh uh... no... this is my primary time machine... and also my home... its a train... yes....
(Looks nervous and somewhat embarrassed)
Oh, well I.. Dont have the heavy machinery needed to re-rail a train. Do you know anyone who would?
[She thinks for a while.]
Well, since I tuned the speed down on your new body, the way the hydraulics work, you should be VERY strong, maybe you could push it back onto the tracks?
Maybe. I still need to get used to the smaller size... and also not having skin... seriously it feels weird.
Oh- sorry I dont really have the means to fix that. Hopefully we can get you back in your proper body soon.
Yeah... its like everything is dulled out... almost unable to physically feel anything at all.
Hey, we can get your train working, and get you back proper. You just need to lift by hardpoints so you dont damage it. Lets go get you properly repaired.
[She starts walking towards the door.]
Good idea.
(Walks out with her... she sees this massive train... railroad tracks where there weren't before just... in the middle of the road... its a odd mix of old and future tech. It also smells heavily of petroleum and ozone.)
Well, this looks way more challanging than I imagined it.
[She is looking at the catastrophy, and silently thinks to herself.]
Thats really fucked up. I hope this works.
[She looks, incredibly stressed out suddenly.]
(Tries to pick it up. Does somewhat. But cannot move it at ALL)
Welp.. Shit.
[She sits down and just.. Stares at the mess.]
Do you know anyone with heavy machinery?
Well. There is the T.A.O. ... but uh... they are NOT fun to deal with.
Well its better than anything I could manage, I think. Should we call them?
UGH... we're gonna have too... they'll be... rather annoying, fucking gov types...
Great, just what I need! Feds outside my shitty apartment!
yeah, and they are no fun, the Temporal Authority Office is... well, their government goons to say the least.
Well, unfortunately I dont see another option, unless I load you up with 5x the hydraulic systems.
hm... yeah... thats an issue... ugh....
I just saw y- you know what whatever im sure its just some time shenanigans.
We were trying to get your train back on the rails, preferably without the government right? I could "borrow" some heavy machinery from a corporate construction site somewhat close to here maybe?
... good idea- wait. you saw me elsewhere? ... wait, am i speaking to pre-figuring out or post-figuring out?
Not sure, they were undamaged so..
[She shrugs.]
Im gonna go "aquire" that equipment.
[She runs off in the direction of the construction site.]
[Later, She returns with a heavy duty crane truck with a corporate logo which has been spraypainted over in bright red.]
... that works.
Help me connect it to some hardpoints so nothing breaks?
[She starts hooking lift cables to axles and marked lift points.]
yeah! (kat grabs a few hooking cables and connects them to hard plates)
Ok, I think that's good! Time to lift
[She operates the crane truck and re-rails the train slowly.]
(kat makes sure the wheels on the train Engine line up perfectly, and looks at the scratches on the exteriors paint in sorrow)
Its ok, we can fix it! For now we should get out of here for a bit, cus I did just steal and vandalize a company truck you know. And we need to get you repaired by someone who has the right stuff.
yeah... uh.... also... i uh... might... have made and used the... time machine... to escape a uh... lot of debt... j-just a heads up...
Ah.. Well if anyone hastles you i'll.. Do something, for sure..
[Hateful still has the redcritter rifle slung over her back. She had forgotten about it.]
... ANYWAY! (opens the door to the time train... and walks in) uh, welcome to the TASDM! Temporal And Spatial Dislocation Machine! (it's bigger on the inside... and a mess... weather it's from the crash or just because kat is a Messy person is hard to say)
[She sighs a bit.]
Im gonna sort that while we're travelling..
This place is cool. Would you mind if i stayed with you? I can grab my tools and stuff from my apartment.. I dont have much in there that i'd wanna keep other than my tools and my laptop..
sure! uh... i uh... don't really have an other bedroom... only one bed as well... uh... but... it's fine! I'm like... 98% sure I've kept our Interactions Linear so far...
Im.. Sure itll be fine if we share a bed right? Thats a thing people do isnt it?
[She disappears into her apartment and returns with her toolboxes and laptop.]
... so this is post confession. good. ... wait is it? did i spoil anything or?
Y-yeah i confessed to you like.. A couple hours ago from my view.
[She looks a bit nervous about it, as if she's worried that youll change your mind or something.]
... that was.... like a week ago from my view... huh. guess you're still processing that all... and you just temporarily fixed me too... i am SO sorry... this must be all very overwhelming!
I'm used to working under stress, its ok.
[She puts her tools and laptop into a corner and starts sorting the mess in the train into organized spots.]
(Sound of a train crashing after odd lightning sounds. i walk in missing my left arm and most of my skin, showing bare metal and cables)
Kat
HOLY SHIT!! KAT WHAT HAPPENED?!

UGH... we're gonna have too... they'll be... rather annoying, fucking gov types...
Great, just what I need! Feds outside my shitty apartment!
yeah, and they are no fun, the Temporal Authority Office is... well, their government goons to say the least.
Well, unfortunately I dont see another option, unless I load you up with 5x the hydraulic systems.
hm... yeah... thats an issue... ugh....
I just saw y- you know what whatever im sure its just some time shenanigans.
We were trying to get your train back on the rails, preferably without the government right? I could "borrow" some heavy machinery from a corporate construction site somewhat close to here maybe?
... good idea- wait. you saw me elsewhere? ... wait, am i speaking to pre-figuring out or post-figuring out?
Not sure, they were undamaged so..
[She shrugs.]
Im gonna go "aquire" that equipment.
[She runs off in the direction of the construction site.]
[Later, She returns with a heavy duty crane truck with a corporate logo which has been spraypainted over in bright red.]
... that works.
Help me connect it to some hardpoints so nothing breaks?
[She starts hooking lift cables to axles and marked lift points.]
yeah! (kat grabs a few hooking cables and connects them to hard plates)
Ok, I think that's good! Time to lift
[She operates the crane truck and re-rails the train slowly.]
(kat makes sure the wheels on the train Engine line up perfectly, and looks at the scratches on the exteriors paint in sorrow)
Its ok, we can fix it! For now we should get out of here for a bit, cus I did just steal and vandalize a company truck you know. And we need to get you repaired by someone who has the right stuff.
yeah... uh.... also... i uh... might... have made and used the... time machine... to escape a uh... lot of debt... j-just a heads up...
Ah.. Well if anyone hastles you i'll.. Do something, for sure..
[Hateful still has the redcritter rifle slung over her back. She had forgotten about it.]
... ANYWAY! (opens the door to the time train... and walks in) uh, welcome to the TASDM! Temporal And Spatial Dislocation Machine! (it's bigger on the inside... and a mess... weather it's from the crash or just because kat is a Messy person is hard to say)
[She sighs a bit.]
Im gonna sort that while we're travelling..
This place is cool. Would you mind if i stayed with you? I can grab my tools and stuff from my apartment.. I dont have much in there that i'd wanna keep other than my tools and my laptop..
sure! uh... i uh... don't really have an other bedroom... only one bed as well... uh... but... it's fine! I'm like... 98% sure I've kept our Interactions Linear so far...
Im.. Sure itll be fine if we share a bed right? Thats a thing people do isnt it?
[She disappears into her apartment and returns with her toolboxes and laptop.]
(Sound of a train crashing after odd lightning sounds. i walk in missing my left arm and most of my skin, showing bare metal and cables)
Kat
HOLY SHIT!! KAT WHAT HAPPENED?!
[She rushes over to Kat and tries to hold her up in case she falls over. She is very much panicing and looking at all the damage, it has not occured to her yet that metal and wires are NOT a human trait.]
WHAT DID THIS TO YOU?? SHOULD I CALL AN AMBULANCE??
i kinda... crashed... uh... i... i can sustain operation for like... an other hour... but i might need a mechanic... (my voice is full of static and distortion)
Wait! Mechanic? OH SHIT RIGHT!! I HAVE A DEGREE IN ROBOTICS ENGINEERING!!
[She takes Kat to her room and then runs off, and returns with a bunch of tools.]
Wait i dont have any replacement parts for you though. Do you know anyone who would have spare parts? I dont care WHAT i have to do to get them!
... i wasn't made till the year 3000 you know... the parts don't exist in your time... i don't think... but my core is fine, it can be connected to any machine...
[She runs off again and drags in several buckets of machinery that is made of grey plating and red crystaline structures.]
These things keep breaking into my apartment! Might aswell put the parts to use right? Ok, how do I save your core? Can I just connect it to one of these thing's power sources? These weird things have a power cell thats full of some weird red goo that dissolves my floor when i crush them with a hammer, try explaining the hole in the concrete to my landlord! Its impossible!
[She is bolting plates and hydraulic systems full of the red liquid together into a mostly humanoid shape.]
My coreis just a really powerful computer. I canbe shut off for a time, don't worry. Plus its like, 7 cables and 4 bolts holding it into my chassis and connecting me to it.
Ok! I can work with that.
[She finishes putting together this skeletal form of grey and red material, and approaches Kat with a wrench.]
This won't hurt you will it? Not like we really have a choice right now..
[She disconnects her core and then connects it to the new frame with some very sketchily rigged wiring to the wires from the scrap, and starts putting on larger plates to make the form less skeletal looking, and to protect the important stuff, using the thickest plates to cover the core.]
Well that should be .. Alright..
[A big mothlike red and grey thing has snuck into her room, once she notices it, she throws a big scythe-like blade from the scrap bucket through it's center eye.]
NOT THE TIME TO BE SNEAKING INTO MY APARTMENT YOU THINGS! IM STRESSED AND ANGRY!
(Testing out new voice box) Testing, Testing. (Plays a few monotone rings)
[It sounds much more mechanical, and the monotone noises are converted into chirps.]
Well, itll do untill we can get you your body repaired properly.. You sound like one of them too..
[She is still working on the body, and connecting spare tanks of the red fluid that the power cell runs on.]
Ok now we find whoever caused this! We will be.. Having words..
[She pulls something that looks like a rifle, but it uses the small tanks of red stuff instead of a magazine out of the scraps box, aswell as collecting the sythe-like blade out of the thing that snuck in earlier.]
this body feels weird if I'm honest, my vision is also... different... everything is tinted red... ... WHY AM I SHORTER!
(is now 3 feet tall)
Im working with what I have! I dont have futuretech in my work room. Im flat broke, remember?
[She is pacing her room slowly and fidgeting with the rifle thing.]
Do you feel like having a blade that deploys out of your arm? I think it would be cool, and maybe useful, I dunno.
[She is waving the big scythe-like blade around just a bit hazardously as she paces.]
I mean... it'd be useful i guess? I still have my retrocausal gun.
I just find something more personal about a blade.
[She bolts the blade on with a retracting mechanism so its hidden away.]
Just point your wrist down and punch forwards and the blade will extend, wanna try it out? preferably NOT towards me. Also this body will need some adjustments and tuning before youll be able to use it super well, also these weird materials are.. Like impossible to break, except with some really strong stuff, and its SUPER light, I could probably carry you..
[She is.. smiling? It looks kinda awkward compared to her usual angry expression.]
(Kat tries out the arm blade, the arm moving way to fast compared to normal... its now stuck in the wall.) Huh... fuck... wait... did you say carry? ... you made me smaller on purpose didn't you.
[She sighs.]
Not like I was ever gonna get my deposit back anyways.
[She helps Kat get the blade out of the wall.]
Flick your arm backwards to retract it, also, I did no such thing, I was just working with what I had ok? Looks like I need to tune down the speeds a lot..
[She fiddles with several things till the arms move at an acceptable speed.]
... always felt weird getting repairs... I mean, when we met I thought i was organic...
Well, try to walk, it might take some tuning, and getting used to.
[She is standing by Kat, ready to try to catch her incase she falls or trips.]
Yeah i cant say i was expecting to be doing.. Any of this! But something feels.. Good? About it? In a way? Obviously im angry with whoever hurt you, but this feels very.. Like a closeness?
(Walks a bot unsteady. Legs moving too fast to really walk properly)
Heh... I feel you on that... I didn't expect to have someone essentially take my brain and put it in a new body...
[She tunes the legs speed down aswell. She is noticibly excited to work with this, though doesnt understand the feeling.]
Hey, once we get everything here fixed up, we can go find a futuretech mechanical shop and get you back into your body, right?
Yeah, though we'll need to get my time machine back on the tracks.
That, might be hard, given the noise that i heared. How heavy is it? WHAT is it? It sounded like a trainwreck outside, what did you use your drone thing on!? A frieght train?
Oh uh... no... this is my primary time machine... and also my home... its a train... yes....
(Looks nervous and somewhat embarrassed)
Oh, well I.. Dont have the heavy machinery needed to re-rail a train. Do you know anyone who would?
[She thinks for a while.]
Well, since I tuned the speed down on your new body, the way the hydraulics work, you should be VERY strong, maybe you could push it back onto the tracks?
Maybe. I still need to get used to the smaller size... and also not having skin... seriously it feels weird.
Oh- sorry I dont really have the means to fix that. Hopefully we can get you back in your proper body soon.
Yeah... its like everything is dulled out... almost unable to physically feel anything at all.
Hey, we can get your train working, and get you back proper. You just need to lift by hardpoints so you dont damage it. Lets go get you properly repaired.
[She starts walking towards the door.]
Good idea.
(Walks out with her... she sees this massive train... railroad tracks where there weren't before just... in the middle of the road... its a odd mix of old and future tech. It also smells heavily of petroleum and ozone.)
Well, this looks way more challanging than I imagined it.
[She is looking at the catastrophy, and silently thinks to herself.]
Thats really fucked up. I hope this works.
[She looks, incredibly stressed out suddenly.]
(Tries to pick it up. Does somewhat. But cannot move it at ALL)
Welp.. Shit.
[She sits down and just.. Stares at the mess.]
Do you know anyone with heavy machinery?
Well. There is the T.A.O. ... but uh... they are NOT fun to deal with.
Well its better than anything I could manage, I think. Should we call them?
UGH... we're gonna have too... they'll be... rather annoying, fucking gov types...

Its ok, we can fix it! For now we should get out of here for a bit, cus I did just steal and vandalize a company truck you know. And we need to get you repaired by someone who has the right stuff.
(Sound of a train crashing after odd lightning sounds. i walk in missing my left arm and most of my skin, showing bare metal and cables)
Kat
HOLY SHIT!! KAT WHAT HAPPENED?!
[She rushes over to Kat and tries to hold her up in case she falls over. She is very much panicing and looking at all the damage, it has not occured to her yet that metal and wires are NOT a human trait.]
WHAT DID THIS TO YOU?? SHOULD I CALL AN AMBULANCE??
i kinda... crashed... uh... i... i can sustain operation for like... an other hour... but i might need a mechanic... (my voice is full of static and distortion)
Wait! Mechanic? OH SHIT RIGHT!! I HAVE A DEGREE IN ROBOTICS ENGINEERING!!
[She takes Kat to her room and then runs off, and returns with a bunch of tools.]
Wait i dont have any replacement parts for you though. Do you know anyone who would have spare parts? I dont care WHAT i have to do to get them!
... i wasn't made till the year 3000 you know... the parts don't exist in your time... i don't think... but my core is fine, it can be connected to any machine...
[She runs off again and drags in several buckets of machinery that is made of grey plating and red crystaline structures.]
These things keep breaking into my apartment! Might aswell put the parts to use right? Ok, how do I save your core? Can I just connect it to one of these thing's power sources? These weird things have a power cell thats full of some weird red goo that dissolves my floor when i crush them with a hammer, try explaining the hole in the concrete to my landlord! Its impossible!
[She is bolting plates and hydraulic systems full of the red liquid together into a mostly humanoid shape.]
My coreis just a really powerful computer. I canbe shut off for a time, don't worry. Plus its like, 7 cables and 4 bolts holding it into my chassis and connecting me to it.
Ok! I can work with that.
[She finishes putting together this skeletal form of grey and red material, and approaches Kat with a wrench.]
This won't hurt you will it? Not like we really have a choice right now..
[She disconnects her core and then connects it to the new frame with some very sketchily rigged wiring to the wires from the scrap, and starts putting on larger plates to make the form less skeletal looking, and to protect the important stuff, using the thickest plates to cover the core.]
Well that should be .. Alright..
[A big mothlike red and grey thing has snuck into her room, once she notices it, she throws a big scythe-like blade from the scrap bucket through it's center eye.]
NOT THE TIME TO BE SNEAKING INTO MY APARTMENT YOU THINGS! IM STRESSED AND ANGRY!
(Testing out new voice box) Testing, Testing. (Plays a few monotone rings)
[It sounds much more mechanical, and the monotone noises are converted into chirps.]
Well, itll do untill we can get you your body repaired properly.. You sound like one of them too..
[She is still working on the body, and connecting spare tanks of the red fluid that the power cell runs on.]
Ok now we find whoever caused this! We will be.. Having words..
[She pulls something that looks like a rifle, but it uses the small tanks of red stuff instead of a magazine out of the scraps box, aswell as collecting the sythe-like blade out of the thing that snuck in earlier.]
this body feels weird if I'm honest, my vision is also... different... everything is tinted red... ... WHY AM I SHORTER!
(is now 3 feet tall)
Im working with what I have! I dont have futuretech in my work room. Im flat broke, remember?
[She is pacing her room slowly and fidgeting with the rifle thing.]
Do you feel like having a blade that deploys out of your arm? I think it would be cool, and maybe useful, I dunno.
[She is waving the big scythe-like blade around just a bit hazardously as she paces.]
I mean... it'd be useful i guess? I still have my retrocausal gun.
I just find something more personal about a blade.
[She bolts the blade on with a retracting mechanism so its hidden away.]
Just point your wrist down and punch forwards and the blade will extend, wanna try it out? preferably NOT towards me. Also this body will need some adjustments and tuning before youll be able to use it super well, also these weird materials are.. Like impossible to break, except with some really strong stuff, and its SUPER light, I could probably carry you..
[She is.. smiling? It looks kinda awkward compared to her usual angry expression.]
(Kat tries out the arm blade, the arm moving way to fast compared to normal... its now stuck in the wall.) Huh... fuck... wait... did you say carry? ... you made me smaller on purpose didn't you.
[She sighs.]
Not like I was ever gonna get my deposit back anyways.
[She helps Kat get the blade out of the wall.]
Flick your arm backwards to retract it, also, I did no such thing, I was just working with what I had ok? Looks like I need to tune down the speeds a lot..
[She fiddles with several things till the arms move at an acceptable speed.]
... always felt weird getting repairs... I mean, when we met I thought i was organic...
Well, try to walk, it might take some tuning, and getting used to.
[She is standing by Kat, ready to try to catch her incase she falls or trips.]
Yeah i cant say i was expecting to be doing.. Any of this! But something feels.. Good? About it? In a way? Obviously im angry with whoever hurt you, but this feels very.. Like a closeness?
(Walks a bot unsteady. Legs moving too fast to really walk properly)
Heh... I feel you on that... I didn't expect to have someone essentially take my brain and put it in a new body...
[She tunes the legs speed down aswell. She is noticibly excited to work with this, though doesnt understand the feeling.]
Hey, once we get everything here fixed up, we can go find a futuretech mechanical shop and get you back into your body, right?
Yeah, though we'll need to get my time machine back on the tracks.
That, might be hard, given the noise that i heared. How heavy is it? WHAT is it? It sounded like a trainwreck outside, what did you use your drone thing on!? A frieght train?
Oh uh... no... this is my primary time machine... and also my home... its a train... yes....
(Looks nervous and somewhat embarrassed)
Oh, well I.. Dont have the heavy machinery needed to re-rail a train. Do you know anyone who would?
[She thinks for a while.]
Well, since I tuned the speed down on your new body, the way the hydraulics work, you should be VERY strong, maybe you could push it back onto the tracks?
Maybe. I still need to get used to the smaller size... and also not having skin... seriously it feels weird.
Oh- sorry I dont really have the means to fix that. Hopefully we can get you back in your proper body soon.
Yeah... its like everything is dulled out... almost unable to physically feel anything at all.
Hey, we can get your train working, and get you back proper. You just need to lift by hardpoints so you dont damage it. Lets go get you properly repaired.
[She starts walking towards the door.]
Good idea.
(Walks out with her... she sees this massive train... railroad tracks where there weren't before just... in the middle of the road... its a odd mix of old and future tech. It also smells heavily of petroleum and ozone.)
Well, this looks way more challanging than I imagined it.
[She is looking at the catastrophy, and silently thinks to herself.]
Thats really fucked up. I hope this works.
[She looks, incredibly stressed out suddenly.]
(Tries to pick it up. Does somewhat. But cannot move it at ALL)
Welp.. Shit.
[She sits down and just.. Stares at the mess.]
Do you know anyone with heavy machinery?
Well. There is the T.A.O. ... but uh... they are NOT fun to deal with.
Well its better than anything I could manage, I think. Should we call them?
UGH... we're gonna have too... they'll be... rather annoying, fucking gov types...
Great, just what I need! Feds outside my shitty apartment!
yeah, and they are no fun, the Temporal Authority Office is... well, their government goons to say the least.
Well, unfortunately I dont see another option, unless I load you up with 5x the hydraulic systems.
hm... yeah... thats an issue... ugh....
I just saw y- you know what whatever im sure its just some time shenanigans.
We were trying to get your train back on the rails, preferably without the government right? I could "borrow" some heavy machinery from a corporate construction site somewhat close to here maybe?
... good idea- wait. you saw me elsewhere? ... wait, am i speaking to pre-figuring out or post-figuring out?
Not sure, they were undamaged so..
[She shrugs.]
Im gonna go "aquire" that equipment.
[She runs off in the direction of the construction site.]
[Later, She returns with a heavy duty crane truck with a corporate logo which has been spraypainted over in bright red.]
... that works.
Help me connect it to some hardpoints so nothing breaks?
[She starts hooking lift cables to axles and marked lift points.]
yeah! (kat grabs a few hooking cables and connects them to hard plates)
Ok, I think that's good! Time to lift
[She operates the crane truck and re-rails the train slowly.]
(Sound of a train crashing after odd lightning sounds. i walk in missing my left arm and most of my skin, showing bare metal and cables)
Kat
HOLY SHIT!! KAT WHAT HAPPENED?!

(Walks a bot unsteady. Legs moving too fast to really walk properly)
Heh... I feel you on that... I didn't expect to have someone essentially take my brain and put it in a new body...
[She tunes the legs speed down aswell. She is noticibly excited to work with this, though doesnt understand the feeling.]
Hey, once we get everything here fixed up, we can go find a futuretech mechanical shop and get you back into your body, right?
Yeah, though we'll need to get my time machine back on the tracks.
That, might be hard, given the noise that i heared. How heavy is it? WHAT is it? It sounded like a trainwreck outside, what did you use your drone thing on!? A frieght train?
Oh uh... no... this is my primary time machine... and also my home... its a train... yes....
(Looks nervous and somewhat embarrassed)
Oh, well I.. Dont have the heavy machinery needed to re-rail a train. Do you know anyone who would?
[She thinks for a while.]
Well, since I tuned the speed down on your new body, the way the hydraulics work, you should be VERY strong, maybe you could push it back onto the tracks?
Maybe. I still need to get used to the smaller size... and also not having skin... seriously it feels weird.
Oh- sorry I dont really have the means to fix that. Hopefully we can get you back in your proper body soon.
Yeah... its like everything is dulled out... almost unable to physically feel anything at all.
Hey, we can get your train working, and get you back proper. You just need to lift by hardpoints so you dont damage it. Lets go get you properly repaired.
[She starts walking towards the door.]
Good idea.
(Walks out with her... she sees this massive train... railroad tracks where there weren't before just... in the middle of the road... its a odd mix of old and future tech. It also smells heavily of petroleum and ozone.)
Well, this looks way more challanging than I imagined it.
[She is looking at the catastrophy, and silently thinks to herself.]
Thats really fucked up. I hope this works.
[She looks, incredibly stressed out suddenly.]
(Tries to pick it up. Does somewhat. But cannot move it at ALL)
Welp.. Shit.
[She sits down and just.. Stares at the mess.]
Do you know anyone with heavy machinery?
Well. There is the T.A.O. ... but uh... they are NOT fun to deal with.
Well its better than anything I could manage, I think. Should we call them?
UGH... we're gonna have too... they'll be... rather annoying, fucking gov types...
Great, just what I need! Feds outside my shitty apartment!
yeah, and they are no fun, the Temporal Authority Office is... well, their government goons to say the least.
Well, unfortunately I dont see another option, unless I load you up with 5x the hydraulic systems.
hm... yeah... thats an issue... ugh....
I just saw y- you know what whatever im sure its just some time shenanigans.
We were trying to get your train back on the rails, preferably without the government right? I could "borrow" some heavy machinery from a corporate construction site somewhat close to here maybe?
