Ancient Tour Guide

Please allow me to be your tour guide. My name is Centaurman and I am at your service. (Independent RP blog for Centaurman from the Megaman/Rockman universe. AU/IC friendly.)

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[musesoflore]

“Do you like sleeping inside or outside?” She inquired, there was pleanty of space for either.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

“I was kept in a side room when I was inactive,” Centaur said, “it was a small, out of the way place that was just big enough for me to back in and had a single recharge cable for me in case I needed it.” He had never thought about a bigger place or wanting anything else for himself. Not until now, that was. “So I am fine being inside.”

[musesoflore]

She whinced at that descriptor. “Then where ever is most comfortable for you,” she replied. “My home is open to you.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"Thank you for your kindness and hospitality," Centaurman said with a polite dip of his head, "I think staying in a place that is not so cramed would be perferrable."

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[musesoflore]

“A fountain sounds great,” she smiled warmly and nodded.

“I love it!”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

Centaur returned the warm smile. “I do not know the architecture of this time, or if any of the antiquities I know exist, but I am sure we can find something that is pleasing and functional.” He never realized he had included himself in this, having expected to get back home as soon as he could, considering he was shirking his job.

[musesoflore]

“Thats okay,” the reploid replied. “Im sure we’ll figure it out.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

Centaur nodded. "In case I stay the night, which it seems I will be, where would be a good place for me to rest?" He didn't want to seem like a bother but it would be good to know where he could stay, at least while he was there.

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

[musesoflore]

“Thats fine, I still believe it will be a nice touch,” she offered and gave a warm smile.

“Any tips?” She inquired.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

Centaur had to think about that. He was a tour guide, not a landscaper. "I would say a few statues, maybe a fountain, things that would be both visually pleasing as well as functional to the overall use of the area." It was the best he could offer.

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[musesoflore]

She gave a hum. “Maybe we could add some of those themes here, that would be a nice aesthetic changes,” she offered up curiously.

She looked over at him, taking him in as well. She liked his looks as well, but she didnt know him well enough for anything else.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"I suppose we could," Centaur said, "but replicas only as the real items are under heavy protection." It would make a nice touch to the place, especially if he found he could not leave.

He was too much of a gentleman to even consider doing anything to her as the thought had never crossed his mind in all the hundreds of thousands of guests he had led on tours. No one had ever taken his eye . . .

Until now, that was.

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[musesoflore]

“Thank you,” she smiled warmly and stopped tugging.

She felt the gaze and squirmed a bit. “So, what type of museum did you guide for?” She asked curiously.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

Centaur felt a faint blush form when she realized he had taken a glance at her chest. "It housed artifacts of antiquity from the region," Centaur said, "logically from Greece, where I was built."

Yes that had been bad of him to glance at her chest. He should be more of a gentleman with her, but there was something about her that was different, that made his cheeks start to warm when he thought about her. It was a strange feeling, to say the least.

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

“Yes, I really do,” Centaurman said, dipping his head in thanks, “I would enjoy a tour if you wish to give me one.” He gave her a warm smile in thanks.

[musesoflore]

She smiled and led him along, pointing out the other rooms before heading outside.

“I’ve done my best to make things as livable for all types of animals around here,” she explained and tugged on her tank tops.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"That is a most noble thing for you to do," he said, smiling warmly at her, "I believe, if I had not been programed as a tour guide . . . I would have wished to work in conservation." He had loved nature, after all, finding it very peaceful and relaxing.

His gaze flickered to her chest as she tugged on her tank tops. He did have to admit, she did have a fine body.

[musesoflore]

“Makes sense,” she agreed and offered a warm smile. “You like them?”

She finished her food as well, only eating a sandwich and sitting and facing Centaur. “I can show you around here if you’d like and you’re welcome to stay here.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"Yes, I really do," Centaurman said, dipping his head in thanks, "I would enjoy a tour if you wish to give me one." He gave her a warm smile in thanks.

[musesoflore]

She gave a small nod and got up to go make some food for her, making him a drink for him to try along with some simple fruit.

“Here, these are fruit and this is juice,” she smiled softly. “These are the easiest things we can digests.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"Thank you," Centaur said, tring first a piece of fruit. It took a bit for him to get the hang of chewing, and a bit more in swallowing. When nothing happened, the taste very pleasing indeed, he smiled. "I suppose I can."

He took another piece and became a bit more bolder at that. When it came to the juice he had as much problem learning when to swallow as he had in eating the fruit, choking a few times before managing how to do it.

"This is a very pleasant surprise, I must say, though something I would not feel right doing when, and if, I can return to my own time. It would be seen as strange and, perhapse, dangerous to the status of robots." But, anywhere else, he would feel free to eat, so long as it was morally acceptible in that time for robotic life to consume food.

[musesoflore]

“If I knew how to make these myself I would, but I’m scared that I will ruin it and cause even more issues than my wings already face,” she sighed and rested her head in the palm of her hand, looking over.

“Can robots eat or drink human food? Reploids are able to burn all of it into energy, though it’s not as great as an actual pod charge, but can your generation do that?”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

“As far as I know, no,” Centaur said, “such resources would have been reserved for humanity, anyway. I was never told if I could ingest, and dispose of food, or not.” It would be interesting to try, so long as he did not clog anything up.

[musesoflore]

“Oh,” she frowned at that. “Well, I could make something that you could try if you’d like?” she asked curiously, not wanting to eat in front of him, she saw that as rude.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"I can but try," Centaur said with a polite dip of his head. It would satisfy one curiosity he had, even if it was a recent one. If robots, reploids, of this time could eat, could he and not have been told? He could understand why, considering human resources needed to be used for humans only where robots had their own unique set of resources that humans could not ingest. Though, with the way robotics had advanced in her time, the possibiity was just as great that humans had developed, for whatever reason, the ability for reploids to ingest food and not just rely on energy as he always had. There was only one way to find out and he was about to take that plunge.

“Must not be,” she shook her head. “Robots have been upgraded to reploids, we’re sleeker and our systems are smoother. Though some still lack the finese of others,” she gestured to her wings.

[musesoflore]

“Since Im usually by myself, I was able to get a few upgrades to make life easier,” she explained and sat on a stool to start working.

“However, this, just doesnt like me,” she pouted and fiddled with the belt. “Its a smidge big but they dont make the size needed and custom ordering is a pain,” she blew her red hair from her face.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"Ah, I see," Centaur said as he moved a bit closer, staying just far enough away he would not get in her way, "that is a benefit, indeed. Though I wish you were more comfortable with your belt . . . If I knew any professions besides history, I could possibly help you with that." However, he had no idea what he could do to help.

[musesoflore]

[musesoflore]

“A little of all. We do what is needed, though most just choose whatever theyd like,” Phoenix replied before tapping his torso side with her fingers. “There, thats my home,” she pointed out.

It was a small cottage looking building with an abundance of trees on one side that were different than the ones that made up a core portion of the woods. The other had a garden with an assortment of produce over flowing the fence.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

“Ah, lucky,” he said, nodding when she tapped his side, heading for the cottage, “we have no such luck. We are built, and programmed, by human whim. We have no say in our fate.” He did have to admit her home was beautiful. He also had to wonder why she had a garden. Did she have humans living there? As far as he knew, robotic life could not digest, or otherwise intake, food.

[musesoflore]

“We’re like humans wishes. We can chose some of our fates, but creation is their choice and what they give us,” she got down and led him in.

Even though she was very small, the lab was large, able to fit the horse-fantasy themed bot easily.

There was a small mantanince area for robotics off to the side which is where she beelined foe and detached her wings onto before dismissing her armor in favor of some faded skinny jeans tucked into boots and a tunic themed tank top with a floral print.

[officialcentaurman-blog]

He nodded. "So you have more freedom than we do, I am glad." The sheer size of the lab amazed him and he slowed his steps to get a better look. When she detatched her wings he blinked. He had no idea they could come off. As far as he knew any robot with wings, it was a permanent object built right into their body.

As she dismissed her armor he dismissed the rest of his as well, leaving him only in a gray-green tank top and a lighter and more rich green sleeveless vest. He ran a hand through his very short, spiky dirty blonde hair before making sure his small pony tail was still securely tied. His tail swished lazily behind him as he plodded over to where she was. "This is a very impressive place you have."

“It probably is, we did have robots in the past, but many just ended up running out of time. Their data couldnt hold up to the shift to another body and things along those lines,” she exppained and looked up at him.

“Whats it like back then?”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

“Well … Humans owned robots such as myself,” Centaur said, “either their owner was their creator, builder or someone entrusted with them. Some owners were fair, kind and treated us like humans, some … some thought of us only as machines to do their bidding. Because of that, and the fact that we can be reprogrammed, many a war was started by a madman bent on world domination. As of the last time I know, he has yet to succeed … As for humans, I think they rely on us a little too much.”

[musesoflore]

She let out a small hum. “I can see what you mean,” she agreed. “But in my time, theres a virus that makes robots attack humans so I can see why they would need to rely on us.”

[officialcentaurman-blog]

"Do the reploids of your time fill jobs that humans would normally do?" he asked, "or do they just rely on you for protection? In my time the sentient robots filled jobs too dangerous for humans, or were more like mascots, such as myself. Fighting was done, if needed, by lesser robots controlled by humans. Usually there was only sentient robot, well, technically three but only one really counts, who would stand up against any robot who would do harm and take them down."
