[D1 MM] A Tune Up

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snap

He smirked "Well you don't get points for guessing that the Crab was in the military." He chuckled "I did my required two year, or most of it anyway." A shadow passed over his features but for barely a second before it was gone.

"But you are right that I wasn't always into fleshcraft though I have always been into engineer. Family business and all that but I've set out on my own here. Got into fleshcraft specifically a little over a year ago. Wanted to make a better replacement for an old service pal of mine."

"I'm going to claim a few points anyway, easy wins are some of my favourite."
Ochiba rocks back then rolls to her feet, brushing herself off...not that there was anything to brush.
"Ah ha! Knew it, I can sense practical vibes a mile away. So you just decided to get into this incredibly complex science engineering stuff to help a buddy."

With a 'not bad' expression. "Can't have been easy. Must have been expensive."

Curiously.
"Sooooo, anything obvious on the scans? Or am I going to have to wait? The anticipation slowly building?"

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snip

He nodded "more or less. I had already known a bit about it but I made it my focus for that."

He made an uncertain expression "Might have to take me a while to get these scans sorted. Remember I'm working with new to me tech, I have to first figure out what it's supposed to look like before I can decide if there's anything wrong. But I mean as far as I can see everything is connected. Might be good for you to come back in a day or two and let me figure out if I feel the same way then."

Snip

Ochiba nods, raising and lowering her shoulders in a 'what can you do?' motion.
"Well, is what it is I suppose. I'll try not to shock anyone before then...anyone who doesn't deserve it anyway. Besides."

Smirking."I suppose it might be a bit delayed given you'll be coming to my party night after next. And you'll need to find a costume so you're not left out. So maybe I can't blame you."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snips

"Yes be careful with physical contact during intense situations if these things are misfiring. I don't even want to think what might be the fallout if something like this shorter, though I think there are some safety measures installed from my quick glance."

Both eyebrows climbed his forehead at her sudden invitation. He shouldn't have been too surprised, she was a mantis after all, they made partying a full time job from what he understood.

He smiled politely "Oh Yoritomo-san, I, that's, I'm honored you would invite me but I'm afraid I, uh, don't really do well at parties."

[Yoritomo Ochiba]

Snip

It was clear Ochiba hadn't even really considered a non-party response. Her mouth opens slightly and she makes a 'uh?' sound automatically.

"Really? You sure?" As if someone might just not know. "It's gonna be a pretty amazing one, great food, great booze, entertainment, music, penthouse views. And it's gonna have folks from all clans there. Good looking Crab dude with an interesting job would usually do pretty great there."

[Kaiu Ryosei]

Snaps

He rubs the back of his neck obviously in thought and more than a little conflicted.

"No, Yoritomo-san I don't doubt the Mantis' legendary ability to throw one hell of a party. I..uh...I just have a history of having too much fun at parties." He gave a half smile "I've found its been best for me to just avoid the temptation."

"No shit?"
Pause.
"Well, got a few samurai like that on my ship. It is technically possible to party too hard after all."
Flashing some teeth.
"Although harder for a Yoritomo. And I ain't gonna ask you to fall off the wagon, at the very least I can't imagine Governor-sama would be happy with that."

Ochiba steps back, nodding eyes, lidded in thought.
"Well, at least let me buy you dinner in a few days...if you can figure out them scans. There's gotta be a swanky restaurant around here with some options for those of us watching our intake. Your guys do a pretty decent melon juice all things considered, got about 100 cartons of it in the boot."

He smile was a little self conscious "Sorry to break the illusion of the cool, hot, fleshcraft tech." He joked lightly.

He thought for a moment not quite certain what to make of the invitation or the mantis' insistence to meet in a less business oriented environment. He wasn't always good at picking up clues or occasionally saw them when they weren't there. Communication between people was incredibly complex. Machines were easier, things had a place, there was order and all the rules were known. People? People were something he rarely understood.

He nodded slowly "I could do dinner. Day after your party? Assuming you'll be coherent enough for it?" He teased lightly with a grin.

"Eh, the cool, hot fleshcraft tech having some deeper darker background stuff is definitely a key ingredient of the fantasy. And it's one of those classy ones too, not like that Doji who keeps getting stuck in their washing machine."
It is not easy to tell if Ochiba is joking.

"Day after works for me, if I'm still hungover by evening then the party was a smashing success!"
The Mantis does a little fistpump.
"Done and done, okay Kaiu-san thanks for your time, and the scans! I'll get out of your hair for now, let me know if my heart is gonna explode or something. Otherwise, see you in a couple days!"

He shook his head once again and held out his communicator "give me your number so I can text you on case I do find out something that will cause your chest to start sparking like a blown fuse box."

"Ain't that an image, sounds incredibly painful though so...kind of hope not."
Ochiba takes the device and rapidly types in her details, adding 'lady with the shockingly big heart' and then promptly taking a selfie (unless stopped) and slapping that photo on the contact.

"Done and done. I solemnly promise to try not to shock myself or others until those scan details come back."

He chuckles but doesn't stop her "good, id hate for you to miss our dinner because you shocked a magistrate or something."

He takes the device back and slides it in pocket "Well I'm sure you've got big important Mantis things to get to. I'll see you in a couple days."

"The most important! Gonna be kissing hands and shaking babies...or maybe the other way round, eh we'll figure it out. This was fun though, maybe I should get checked out more often."

With a wink she bows before storming out, following a few moments later by the sound of a car engine roaring and then tires squealing loudly.

((/scene? thanks for the RP!))

[Kaiu Ryosei]

He smirks at her still uncertain if the double entendre is intentional or just the result of not thinking about what she is saying.

He bows and waves goodbye and maybe does do a little checking before he checks himself as she walks away but he turns back to his work intent on finishing his gift for the governor tonight but he's be lying if a few small things didn't keep pulling at the edges of his mind while he tried to focus.

He huffed and turned up his music. Drown it all out Ryo you got shit to do.

(Scene! Thank you for the RP!)
