I was here for about a week and then I went home for what seemed like ten minutes but when I return it's been two weeks?
What the hell is up with that? Does this happen often? Is the transporter trying to give me dimensional whiplash?

I hope my room is untouched.

That line of work? So it must be easy for you.

[bloodfreak]

Pretty easy, yeah. I also build robots in my spare time.

[corviform]

Robots? Is this type of work really that easy?

[bloodfreak]

No, nothing that fancy. I mostly just end up making little things that are more like toys.

that moment you forget to press "post comment"

[corviform]

That's a rather impressive skill you have.

happens to us all

[bloodfreak]

Some people draw, some write, I just build stupid robots that catch fire. [Actually they only caught fire because he was working with some pretty shitty materials.]

[corviform]

Why do they catch fire?

[bloodfreak]

Faulty wiring. It happens when you don't have the best materials around.

[corviform]

That sounds dangerous.

[bloodfreak]

It can be but hopefully I won't have that issue here if I decide to build anything.

[corviform]

I'm not very good with technology myself, but it's a lot more advanced here. It shouldn't be that much of a problem, I think.

[bloodfreak]

Not everyone has the mind for it. And I'm hoping it doesn't. Last thing I need is to accidentally burn down this house the government has been so kind to put me into.

[corviform]

I'm sure that's not going to happen.

[ As long as they're tiny robots...?? ]

[bloodfreak]

Better knock on some wood just to be sure.

[corviform]

I'll be sure to do that.

[ And he will, just for Cyril who's been pleasant so far. ]

[bloodfreak]

So that's a superstition where you're from?

[corviform]

I've heard it a couple of times and while I'm not superstitious myself there's no harm in it.

[bloodfreak]

So it's not a practice in your world?

[corviform]

I don't think so.

A practice?

[bloodfreak]

So you picked it up here.
A superstitious practice.

[corviform]

You just said to so I figured it was the courteous thing to do.

[bloodfreak]

You would do it without knowing the reasoning or meaning behind it?

[corviform]

It's to do with bad luck, isn't it? Keeping it away.

[bloodfreak]

Yeah, that's the main thing.

[corviform]

So you know its exact origins?
