After a tour of the house, it seems quite content using my laptop.

The voice of a Fightmach is determined by the head--You can probably imagine it's not sounding very friendly right now.
I can't suddenly change the head to the maid head because I left it in the dumpster after selecting the parts.. I'd have to go out and get it again, or I can wait until I won a match or two so I have money to buy completely new parts.

I for one don't really mind the current head, plus shouldn't you ask it if he'd rather have the other?

Then thank her for helping you, and ask her if you can help with her dream.

..Would her dream be to marry me? That would be rather crazy..
Being a patient of her father we've known eachother since we were little kids. She's more like a sister to me than someone I'd marry.
I mean, didn't you see how much she nags? That's not very charming..
Anyway, I better stay in the house as not to anger her.

Hey guys, did we actually tell her what we wanted? For that matter, what do we want? People mentioned the maid head, to get a different voice, but I don't approve, for aesthetic reasons, and I believe Buttercup is likely to feel similarly.

I do think, however, that we should get the other parts we were thinking about (The other arm from each set, the reinforced shoulders, and the monowheel) and clean them up so we can swap them out.

Two choices:

1: Go to the girl, tell her that to follow your dream, you need to do this. But you also acknowledge your... limitations. So, ask her if there is anything that can be used so you can go to this event before returning.

2: Leave manly note about pursuing dreams, and how this is the path you must walk, and you truly care about the fact she worries about you, but that this is something you must do, and you cannot wait for the suit to be done, even if it means potential health problems. This is your dream, your passion, and if you get injured/sick in the process, so be it, but you will never abandon your dream.

You're right. Love isn't for robots.

You're not a Robot. You are a self-aware, sentient Artificial Intelligence.

That thing out there isn't. It is a Virtual Intelligence. It is capable in acting only within certain preset parameters. You and it are leagues different.

How bad is the damage to the head anyway? If it's just some bumps in the plating you could probably hammer it back in shape, but if there's any degradation in the armour or internals we might want to bump up the priority on head upgrades and play it safer if there's more matches. I don't know if there's anything more in the head compartment, but just visual sensors are important enough to worry.

So shall I simply get a new Feral head to replace this one with instead of trying something completely different?
Well, I can spend this money on different parts too.

Head (Sensors):
-Feral (X)

Shoulders (Armor/Ranged Weapon):
-Basic
-Basic

Arms (Shield/Ranged Weapon/Melee Weapon/Grasper):
-Claw
-Light

Torso (Armor):
-Light

Legs (Movement speed):
-Basic

Get a feral mk. II if we can afford it... or if it even exists.

If its just a little bit more then what we earned, you can use a little bit of your fathers credit card. If mk. II's exist, they might prevent lag in the first place. We'll have to win a few matches to get the extra reinforced armor parts. When shopping, bring Buttercup with you and ask for the most efficient looking design with less gaps in preparation for the future. We can't have another Buttercup finding our own, can we?

A shield would allow for lighter main armour, making for a rather light and fast build without too much armour vulnerability, not to mention they can be really useful to bash stuff with. Claws have the advantage of allowing you to hold on to an opponent or their weapon, though I'd probably only opt for that if there are claws that have enough power to cut through armour.

Another possibility is the dual claw build. Then you could make something with such a speed/power mix that you could tear your opponents apart with rotation and high velocity meetings with the floor. Or the slow/strong variant, that relies on armour to last until it's in reach, then simply pull them limb from limb.
>>
No. 58302 ID: fc854e

>>58289
Naw, just use the maid head. Unless it's inferior in sensory capabilities. Since Buttercup wants to be a more "slow and steady" player, we should probably slap those reinforced shoulders on as well. Now, I notice that the basic arm is being essentially useless, so let's replace that with another claw. And then we're good.

Of course, we should not ignore the possibility that the lag to which Buttercup refers is not actually an issue, merely the slowdown caused by electrons (and thus data) moving at the speed of light. Or something else, but still normal for fightmachs, and nothing to worry about.

Being a toolset for Buttercup and letting her work with the parts from the trash will set me back the same amount as a new head would, but will let her work out any gaps in her defense.

Say you'll just give her one kiss, if that's what she wants.

Getting closer is more about knowing each other than the shape of the body.

Fabricate or contract illness at the fight after next so that Esmerelda must pretend to be GALACTIC KNIGHT Z and the two can grow together and learn to share you.

Right now, they (At least Buttercup does) see each other as rivals. This will get them to cooperate at least a little.
Even if we end up having to choose, this will make them more well disposed towards each other.
The problem is either of them finding out.
So essentially, I'm suggesting we do something stupid and self-destructive for the off-hand chance that our admirers will stop glaring daggers at each other.

Cuz you just kissed your robot and now you're locked into a perpetual romance with it.

Yeah. A kiss is more than just a simple action, no more important than changing the channel on TV. It's a symbol and demonstration of physical closeness that is one of the tenets of an emotional bond in a relationship.

Well would you kiss a real person under the same circumstances? not really

Its different because buttercup is a robot.
When in reality, sans robots, the paralel could be drawn between father and chi-.....
