Hope Rides Alone

Characters: Chiaki Nanami
Where: Twelfth District, Airship Hangar
When: Backdated to June 7th
Summary: Chiaki builds a ridiculous looking giant robot

[Chiaki's been relatively scarce and even quieter than usual since Hajime fell into crystal stasis, spending a good deal of her time sequestered away in her room playing games.  There's still a lot she doesn't understand about human emotions even after spending over a year as one, and losing her new boyfriend before getting to explore them hasn't helped.  Fortunately, the distraction she needed to really refocus her efforts and get her working toward a goal again arrived in the unlikeliest of fashions when Jack Harkness came back from Nabila with a Magitek Armor in tow.  Having no need of it himself, he'd passed it along to the young gamer girl, trusting she'd find a use for it.

And find a use for it she did.

With both Magitek Knight and Engineer maxed, Chiaki now had access to the Mecha Pilot Advanced Job.  She'd nearly taken a 5 million gil loan out from the McDuck Bank in an effort to get a giant robot of her own, but Jack had saved her the effort.  And for the past week, she's been spending nearly all her free time holed up in one of the airship hangars working on a brand new project.  Giant robots are cool to begin with, but with the ability to freely customize the look, of course Chiaki is planning to tinker around a bit.  There's a lot of work to be done still, but the overall design of the mech is
starting to take shape.]

Hmm... I wonder what I should name it.  Giant Usami?  Usatron?

That was exceptionally kind. O'aka sells them for millions of gil at his shop.

[Rukia examines the robot thoughtfully. She never really spoke with Jack all that much, even when they were roommates, but he was a nice young man, and she approved of his actions in this world.]

Can you drive it yet, or is there more work to complete?

I see... So that's why you're building it.

[Rukia takes a step forward, slowly drawing closer to the enormous rabbit. She looks up at the thing thoughtfully.]

I know nothing of machines, but is there anything you need from me for the sake of your work?

It seems like it would not be more difficult than painting one's toenails.

[Rukia smiles, and inclines her head. She's definitely willing to help paint such a fantastic invention.]

Gladly.
