Video | Mark I

[chasedtherabit]

[The video pops on to a young Japanese woman with two blue streaks in her hair looking rather serious.]

Hello, my name is Mako. [She pauses here for a polite nod to the camera before continuing.]

I am looking to trade work for information. [Of course, if information is freely offered she would take it as well, but she would prefer to return some sort of favor to anyone who would take the time to answer her questions.]

I'm a skilled mechanic and I'll tackle any problem, small or large. [After all, it doesn't seem like there's anything as large as a Jaeger here. She has confidence in her skills.]

Thank you for considering my offer. [She bows to the camera this time before reaching out to turn off the feed.]

[It's the first time he's bothered to use the video function, but it feels rude to default to text in this instance. Hermann looks as composed as ever, save for the slight smile tempting the corners of his mouth]

Miss Mori. As unfortunate as these circumstances are, you're most certainly a sight for sore eyes.

[Ah! She smiles at the camera, so grateful to see a familiar face after her arrival here.]

Dr. Gottlieb, hello. Did you just arrive as well?

[His surprise is evident, but he looks happy to see her, even if he doesn't know what he should say to her after everything.Totally not good at that.] Oh, wow! Mako! Miss Mori! Did you just get here? Where are you staying? No, wait, let me put a private filter on this-- ok, there, better. So. Uh. Hi! This is Newt, er, Dr. Geiszler. You know, from the lab. Hermann and I are both here. We've been here less than a week, actually.

And no, no don't trade work for information. We'll tell you anything you need to know for free, kiddo. Don't-- [Newt's face says "word I want to use I will not use in front of Mako, uh..."] -- just don't do it. Not good. We're full of information here and what we don't have, we can procure easily enough.

So.

Hi.

How are you?

[Mako, as usual, waits for Newt to finish speaking, or at least pause to take a breath. Still, she can't help but smile softly.]

I'm well, Dr. Geiszler, for as confused as I am. Where can I find you for information?

[Because if they have it, she'll take it. She trusts them.]

[animalage]

Hi Mako, I'm Gar. [A wave and a smile.]

What kinda info are you looking for?

video

[chasedtherabit]

I was hoping for more information about this world. What's happening that they are bringing us here?

[She'll ask her friends from home the same question, but various sources can be useful.]

video | id reads "karen starr" (yay mako!!)

[boobwindow]

Hello, Mako.

What do you want to know? I'll do my best.

video

[chasedtherabit]

Do you have any information about what responsibilities come with being registered?

[She read the material from Newt, but she still has questions.]

[earnedmystripes]

What kinda information're you looking for? No one's gonna charge just for helping out someone new.

[Well. Some people might. But Kotetsu would think those people are jerks. So.]

[chasedtherabit]

You seem to be correct. [Mako nods once.]

What information do you find important for new arrivals?

video; id: cassandra cain

[cassassin]

What kind of information? [She'll file away the mechanic thing for later. It's obvious what Mako means in general, but that's a little...broad.]

video;

[chasedtherabit]

At the moment, more information about the cities. What are they like?

video;

[worstever]

Might want to raise your price. Plenty of info here is free.

Any good with robots? [Always good to have a few people on retainer for the inevitable day when the dumbass robot twins he's babysitting get themselves exploded.]

[chasedtherabit]

[She comes from a barter economy. It only felt fair to offer something if she was asking for something.]

I am. Why do you ask?

text; comm tag is "Hiro"

[microbrobotics]

dude what kind of mechanic?? cars or robots or what?

text; comm tag is "Hiro"

[chasedtherabit]

I usually work with small appliances or large robots. I have little experience with vehicles.

[superposition]

Hello, Mako, my name is Qubit. You're a friend of Newt and Gottlieb, I take it?

text ;

[chasedtherabit]

Hello, Qubit. That is correct, we are from the same place.

video;

[flowerette]

What sort of information are you seeking? I can provide quite a bit on the scientific aspects of this world.

video;

[chasedtherabit]

Would you mind starting with the basics? [She knows how her world works, but this place could be fundamentally different.]

[alcheregis]

[ Haen has spied the blue streaks in her hair and completely skipped over every relevant part of Mako's message. ]

Oh hello! I knew I couldn't be the only one from my world here, which genessi did your hair, dear? They certainly could have used a brighter shade of blue, you have such a nice complexion, it would have picked up the highlights beautifully. If you want the colour changed, you just come and see me, I'll even do it at no charge, all right?

video;

[chasedtherabit]

I'm afraid I don't know what a genessi is. Are they hair stylists?

[It could be a language she doesn't recognize.]

voice

[purepazaak]

Got any info different from what the rest got yet?

voice

[chasedtherabit]

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem so. Do you have any unusual information?

video

[performance]

Hi, Mako! [ A smile and a little wave. ] I'm Dick. Dick Grayson.

What kind of mechanic?

video

[chasedtherabit]

Most of my experience is with robotics repair. [But she does know how to fix a car if need be.]

video | if this is too late, feel free to ignore!

[prostheticbody]

[There's another Japanese woman looking back at Mako. Which she speaks, it's in their native tongue.]

It looks like you've already had plenty of offers, but I can answer any lingering questions you might have.

[In truth, she's more interested in what she's said about her skills.]

What kind of robotics are you familiar with?

video | never too late

[chasedtherabit]

[Ah! Mako smiles and responds in kind.]

I worked with large humanoid robots mostly, but I've experimented with all kinds of robotics.
