It'd come in handy. But it'd only be temporary, although at least I shouldn't need a Zepter to do it.
That sounds pretty complicated. But I don't think anyone here would really have figured you to be anything other than human. With some interesting and strange abilities, sure, but you haven't acted so different that I'd have ever thought you anything but alive. And you can make your own decisions so isn't that kind of like having a will? It definitely suggests a mind.
This isn't your world so the people from where you're from shouldn't concern you. Here you're adapting to survive. You're also open to new potential. They can't tell you what you should be capable of or what to do.
Maybe the trick is the build weapons into it that are effective for most situations, but ones that can be easily modified with your magic for certain situations. If that's possible.
[ It's fascinating to think about. Hopefully he wasn't overstepping making wild suggestions. ]
Right. I keep worrying about things from home out of habit. I usually have to walk a fine line to balance my support for fellow robots and being a friend to as many humans as possible. I'm kind of famous back home and seen as a representative for robotkind.
But you're right. So far here I'm simply treated like an odd human. Maybe after a little more time I'll be used to it. Thanks for pointing that out.
Modified might work. Maybe if I just have something like the base form, I can skip ahead to supplement the power. I wonder if I don't even have to magically construct an entire weapon... But I'm not sure if that's more suited for Zepter armors. Those are the ones that specifically are designed for magic to be channeled through it. I'd rather have something with more physical capabilities, and magic used in supplement.
A representative? Interesting! The gate brings all sorts, so you may as well just be an odd human. I still get weird looks sometimes and that's from natives to this world, but I guess turtlekin aren't a common sight. Which I guess makes sense since I've never seen any others aside from my brothers.
[ It's in text but something tell Atom that this might be a less than happy subject. If it wasn't a big deal and his family was living peacefully somewhere else, he probably would have volunteered that information. ]
Sorry if that's a difficult subject. You don't have to explain.
[ Should he try to change the subject? What's the more polite thing to do? He's starting to wish they were talking face to face. ]
[It's maybe a moment or two before his response comes as he hems and haws about it. Talking about it isn't ever an easy subject for him.]
They're safe. Hopefully. It's a long story.
[Longer than he'd feel comfortable typing, although maybe that'd at least make it easier since he can hide his emotions this way. But he doubts the method would make much difference in the end. For him it really is a difficult subject, and he's only spoken about it to a few people.]
[ This is where he would give Donnie a respectful quiet nod in acknowledgment and move on. It's difficult at first to decide on a word to use instead, and his reply is slower this time than his typical speedy delivery. ]
I understand.
I have a younger sister at home named Uran. I think she's going to envy all the adventures I get to have here. Especially seeing real magic. I am definitely telling her about your ladder.
Think of something really cool and let me know when you're ready to show me. I promise I'll tell her about that too, and I won't call you the Ladder Wizard.

winding off?
