Ugh, I never know how to start one of these things.

Is um. Is anyone familiar at all with a robot by the name of Robo-ky? I fixed him up recently and well, I'm not exactly a robot expert, but I think I did okay. If anyone who is more knowledgeable could take a look at him just to be safe though, I'd appreciate it. [...] As a warning, he can be a little hard to deal with so keep that in mind.

...

Actually, while I got this up. Have any of you guys ever noticed how obsolete the journal system is? It looks technologically advanced sure, but as far as a socialized network goes, there were far better ones back where I'm from. What are you supposed to do if someone is harassing you with dozens of filtered messages? Go over to them and beat them to a pulp? Put a paperweight on the journal and hope they go away? There's no way to block communications with a single person.

....and there isn't a precautionary measure put forth for this kind of thing is there? Is everything in this village ran by ear?

[Deal with it, Banner!]

You say that like you think I haven't been working on something. Come on, have a little faith.

[But not like the Mark I. That wasn't built to last, and Tony is going to need something more powerful if his most recent armor doesn't show up.]

... You know, if you learned how to use some of the magic that's available here you could probably incorporate that into the armors abilities.

[Since this place doesn't exactly have the most advanced technology.]

--Yeah, I don't exactly approve of the M word. Please watch your usage of it when I'm around.

[Seriously, though. Magic? Not the best friend of an engineering genius.]

Yeah, I know, I was a little skeptical too. But once you meditate and start to listen to the spirits it--

...

I probably sound like a lunatic don't I?

[God, you lost him at "meditate".]

Oh, I wouldn't jump straight to lunatic. Maybe slightly unstable. But lunatic? Well, I'll wait to get to know you better before I call that one--oh, and if you need a therapist, I'm considering it as a hobby. I've already got another taker. What do you think?

Yeah. As tempting as that sounds I'm unfortunately going to have to pass.

If you're not planning on using magic then I guess you're going to try to wait on the material to appear in the shops? Or is this new special suit top secret?

[We'll see. You'll come around eventually.]

You know, as much as I love the idea of being eavesdropped on by the Malnosso, I'm not entirely sure it's in anyone's best interest to share my ideas over this network.

[That, and much of his research so far has come up short, which is exceedingly frustrating.]

[Well Tony does have a point. But he has his doubts he'll be able to build a suit of armor capable of penetrating the barrier or destroying it... unless maybe they got ahold of some of that Malnosso robot technology.]

In that case I guess I'll leave you to your research and building then. [...] I'm not a robotics expert but. I'm pretty capable. If you need an extra pair of hands I mean.

--Yeah, sure. I'll keep you posted--are you going to let me take a look at your pet robot, or not? Because, really. Pencil him in now before my schedule fills up.

[He has to make it difficult, but hey. Tony doesn't exactly have his handy robots here. He might just want an extra pair of hands sometime.]

I'm working on it. He.... doesn't seem to like the idea of anyone testing him for errors.

Oh, well I'll have to beat him out of that. Call me the robot whisperer--that's a pretty apt description, actually.

[Okay... he's ignoring the robot whisperer thing.]

I think there's actually something wrong with his AI. It seems like it is full of glitches and bugs. It's probably one reason why he acts like such an idiot. [He didn't think that was possible for a robot unless it was specifically designed to do that.]

Sounds like my type of guy. Yeah, I can iron those out for you--might taken longer than I'd like, however. I'm still working on getting myself a computer to work with.

You could try. But as a warning if he figures out you're tampering with his AI? He might try to actually kill you.

I'm actually about to head to the Item Shop to see if my laptop is there. Pen and paper works fine for a while, but I think my floor is layered with balls of scrap paper at this point.

You say that like I haven't had to deal with rogue robots before. [Still. Duly noted. Slightly homicidal.]

Well, if you happen to see a series of sophisticated super computers there--answers to JARVIS--let me know, Brucie. I'm starting to feel a little lonesome without him around.

I'll keep an eye out.

[No he won't. 'cause he doubts it's even gonna be there. =|]

It's much appreciated. Well, I'll leave you to your homicidal robot, then. Let me know if it gets fussy. I'll come whip him into shape for you.

Thanks. I'll probably take you up on that at some point.
