{ tried beta editor for the first time. pressed one thing and wasn’t able to undo it so i pressed ctrl+z and for SOME REASON instead of undoing that one action it DELETED MY ENTIRE POST and i couldn’t restore it w/ ctrl+y. so now that entire reply is gone and it has really soured my fucking mood to type it all again. i thought maybe the draft autosave thing would have let me restore it but fucking Jokes On Me i guess because it autosaved sometime after my entire post was gone! :) really great new editor!!! }

“ oh, isn’t she just the sweetest? it just brings me such joy to see the young ones full of so much potential! ” ... you know, it’s not something usually addressed. but the hunter REALLY talks like she’s some kind of wise old sage sometimes. sure, she’s seasoned! definitely! but... she’s also only 21. that’s literally not even that much older than Mari, and yet here she is talking about ‘the young ones’ as if she isn’t relatively young herself. like, sheesh, learn your place, lady...
“ her determination is next to none! it would rival many hunters, even! no, actually, it would surpass a lot of them! we hunters tend to leave monsters well enough alone unless they need to be dealt with, so it’s commendably brave to be around them at nearly every facet of your life! she seems fiercely loyal to her monsties as well, which is a most pleasant trait! ”
... the hunter pauses, seemingly thinking of more things to say, before her face lights up again.
“ oh, yes, and Ratha is very sweet too! what a polite boy! ”
Send me 🌷 and my muse will compliment yours

skyfcx:
Boy did his face say a thousand words with a single expression. The kid wouldn’t exactly call himself the insightful sort, but he was nothing if not deeply familiar with the tone of a person who was, in fact, not following along with the technical mumbo-jumbo that was spouting from his mouth.
But… in this instance, he really did expect the other to follow along. He was just explaining the fundamentals of the internet? He was troubleshooting a faulty router and the nearby Hunter was curious. And who was the fox to shun someone for exhibiting curiosity? Even still, maybe his impromptu student was a little further behind with the times than he had originally assumed.
A scratch to the back of the head. “I mean, in layman’s terms, I guess that’s accurate enough?” He can’t knock her for trying, alright? “The router gets its internet from the modemit’s connected to (a modem is like the router’s boss who’s giving it its internet–) and distributes said internet to the smaller machines that are all using the signals from the aforementioned router!” Yeah. Hunter totally followed along with that whole explanation, right? Sure she did. Yup. Mhm.
“But this router doesn’t seem to be connecting to the modem at all,” he hums, a tongue clicking while glove meets chin. “Could you unplug the modem from its outlet? I’m gonna try the good ol’ ‘turn it off and on again’ treatment first. Could just be an overflow of memory. This place is on it’s, what,fifth tournament? With how many fighters? I could see it just needing a quick reboot. Or maybe–”
Blinks. Ears flick to attention. He’s getting that warm spot on the back of his neck. That 'you should probably turn around right now before the kid takes a step into the paper shredder’ kind of sensation. Whip around quick, remove himself from his thoughts to truly process what Hunter had been saying, glance to what she is reaching for, and…
“N-No! Wait, wait! That is not what you unplug!” Namesakes absolutely spring to life, creating a streak of yellow blazing a path over to the other. As the metal prongs of the plug starts to show face, there are two gloves frantically clasping the hand of Hunter, nigh pleading that she doesn’t move a muscle more.
That, dear viewer, was one of the plugs for the numerous power strips. Unplugging that, in particular, would have cut off power to an entire section of the intricate electrical system in here, and the fox really didn’t feel like seeing whether the Hands installed an uninterruptible power supply when building this place. Because if it turns out they didn’t,he didn’t want to find that out the hard way.
Swallows thickly. “…Y'know what? That one’s on me. This place is basically a mini server room, even I can lose my place in one of these. So instead, let’s do this: look at all of these wires and see if any of them look a little worse for wear!
The issue could be with the wires themselves, but scanning all of them by myself would take a good bit. So while I’m plugging and unplugging some stuff, you do that! There are an insane number of elements in this Mansion, who knows what could’ve gotten in here and thrown a wrench into things by biting something they shouldn’t have.”
her own lack of knowledge may be quite the predicament at this very moment. but it probably wasn’t too hard to tell that it came not from willful ignorance... just being a bit behind the times. and despite the fact that she was struggling to process and retain all the information being spoonfed to her... the hunter was exceedingly curious! again, sure, the actual information itself was hard to wrap her head around. but her sheer willingness to learn it anyway should not be understated. not even a little bit!
smash was sort of a miracle opportunity for the girl. her own home was barely on the cusp of the industrial revolution, to use a regular human analog. coal power and steam power were the standard... with hydroelectricity just BARELY on the edge of making a break. unfortunately, technological progress is relatively halted where she comes from. this is, of course, due to the fact that most good scientists are out there studying monsters. their ecology, physiology, and naturally... how best to defend their livelihood in the case of a monster attack! not much time to invent computers when you have to worry about giant firebreathing spiders and such, y’know.
“ so the ‘mode-um’... gives the int-er-net... ” she sounds the words out very carefully, making sure to get them right this time. “ to the routers... which then redistribute it to these odd machines... ” rubbing at her chin, the hunter looks around thoughtfully. then she gasps, with sparkles filling up her eyes.
“ oh! that is why they are called ‘routers’! because they are ‘routing’ something from one location to another! oh, splendid! it’s like a digital caravan! the home village loads the caravan with trade goods, and it delivers those goods to many smaller towns! just like your intra-net! ” well, she had a good thing going there until she misspoke on ‘internet’ again. and JUST after carefully sounding it out for accuracy, too...
suddenly, she feels a gloved hand clasp around her wrist. such sudden movements tend to equal bad news for monster hunters... and as such she tensed up. her reflexes are quite good... but in this one case, she’s glad that the relative lightheartedness of the conversation had her off her guard. because if she had taken a battle-ready stance like her gut instinct would have been... then she may well have just yanked the cord right out of the wall. thankfully, Tails was a good bit quicker on the draw... and she was now still as a statue in her arm. power strip? you’re safe for tonight.
“ oh! my mistake, Mr. Tails! ” she pushes forward a bit to right the plug back in it’s outlet. “ gomen, i hope you can forgive my foolishness! ” after freeing her hand from his panicked, laser-focused grip, she gives an apologetic bow to the young fox.
this time carefully listening to his instructions, the monster hunter nods repeatedly with each new ounce of explanation given. after which, she wastes no time getting on her hands and knees to inspect under the various desks in the room. as a hunter, she was used to dropping to her knees and really getting into the dirty, unpleasant thick of things. diving in swamps, pushing through dense thickets of foliage... and sometimes even sticking her hand in monster dung. all in the pursuit of protecting the environment, and science, of course. in a way, navigating this dense jungle of wires was... kind of familiar, in a way.
“ hmmmm... i do not see any visible damage? perhaps i just don’t know what i am looking for... ” another long hum of thought from the girl. the massive sword on her back was clinking and clanging against the underside of the desk as she shuffled around down there.
“ oh! ” oh, did she find something? “ there are small... what i believe are copper... threads sticking out of one of these! i am not quite sure if that is unusual, but it is... notably different than the other wires here! ”
{ like for just a lil small starter so i can get back on my paws. meow }
@skyfcx liked for a starter! (accepting!)
“ ... ah, yes, i understand completely! ” she does not understand a god-forsaken thing poor Miles just said. there’s no sarcasm nor wit in her tone -- the hunter, good-intentioned as ever, truly believes she understood what the genius fox was getting at. however... it was becoming abundantly clear she couldn’t tell a monkey wrench from a lightbulb. and her own proverbial lightbulbs are all dim up there in her noggin when it comes to advanced tech. may be a bit hard to blame her in that regard... but to that end, you would think she’d admit she’s out of her realm here as opposed to trying to help. especially with something she knows jack-all about.
“ so this... root-er... ” she mispronounces ‘router’. “ distributes the ‘intranet’ to all of these... composters? ” the hunter scratches her head.
“ is this what i am to unplug? ” it is almost CERTAINLY not, far from it... but bless her heart, the girl is trying her best.
rathalascendant:
“ THAT PUN WAS SO SHITTY. ” SHE’S HALF-JOKING, half not, the incredulousness dripping from her voice as she looks over from her glass of pineapple juice, a smug look upon her features.
Oh, how that smug look transforms into something of amazement and mild concern at the ‘wisdom’ imparted on behalf of her hunter friend. A brow quirked in confusion, Mari stares long and hard at her. The rider has eaten some stupid things in her own time as well, but at least she relied on others’ examples before sinking her teeth into something unfamiliar. ( She’d like to disregard that whole 'Hot Spring Dumpling’ incident. )
“ Are you implying you’ve eaten poisonous mushrooms? ”
“ awww... and here i had begun to believe i had made a most clever play on words... i promise my next attempt will be most fruitful! ” is it weird and pathetic that she genuinely apologized and bowed her head briefly for making a shitty pun? that’s for everyone else to decide. but it’s at least in-line with this hunter’s extremely polite, overly formal, sophisticated ways. well... sophisticated in her SPEECH, anyway. with the knowledge that she can scarf down three cheese wheels without blinking, and now knowing that she has a penchant for putting strange plants in her mouth... it kind of just makes her sound like a complete goblin. just a goblin that wears a very well-put together façade of being presentable and dignified.
“ oh, only a few times! ” that’s probably more than anyone should have ever eaten poisonous mushrooms in the first place, hunter. her doctors probably don’t get paid enough zenny for the miracles they pull...
“ after all, most great field research begins with the ones who are willing to take dangerous plunges! providing valuable data for the future! i’m more of a hunter than a researcher, but as i’m told, they’re in need of all the help they can get! ” oh my god. she thinks she’s being a scientific aid by shovelling poisonous mushrooms down her gullet like a starving Pukei-Pukei...
“ but you must remain vigilant and not follow my example! it would be a true shame to have your life cut short, especially at such a young age, and with so much potential! ”

“ ... you know, we’ve both been through a lot! ratha-highs, and ratha-lows... but allow me to impart some words of wisdom onto you, young Rider! ” the hunter holds a single finger up, then proceeds to down a whole tankard of drink in one gulp. don’t worry, it’s just cola, she’s not setting a bad example-- then, she gives the most cheery smile possible. all TOO cheery and wide, actually. “ not all wild mushrooms are edible! ”
... was she... walking around the wilderness shoving random mushrooms into her mouth? something tells me Mari is... already aware of this ‘master hunter’s wisdom’...
{ like for just a lil small starter so i can get back on my paws. meow }
“ ... i truly do wonder what foods from other worlds are like... oh, what an exquisite thing to imagine! exotic feasts! that which no one could dream of! ” ... she’s a bit of a foodie at heart, let her have this.
“ apologies for my brief absence! i was getting a delicious sweet bun! mmm! ” for over a year! like normal!
“ excuse me, but do you know how to wash blood out of cloth? ” oh she is. uh. she’s... frankly, SOAKED with blood and dried-up gore right now. and she is so nonchalant about it.
“ i made a bit of a mess! ”
