Project 1: [voice] un: hello

[unluckynumberseven]

[The Eluvio definitely made him nervous, bringing back memories of a different highly technological setting, but Emil had already made the decision to keep his weird skull-like head up and carry on. That was all there was to do, right? So even though he was scared, he was not only going to wear the strange clothes they gave him and try his best at his first ever real job, but he was going to... try to talk to new people.

It still felt like a real accomplishment, even if he did feel a lot safer not using the video feed. He just didn't want to scare anyone..]

Hello, everyone! My name is Emil.

[There. A perfectly normal thing to say! He could do this. He was going to ignore his anxieties and be brave like his friends.]

This is really confusing, but... as long as I'm here, I want to help! I can use magic, and I can fight with it, so if anyone needs a helping hand, like in a dangerous situation... I could do that.

[He can feel himself growing more and more self-conscious, so he hurries to wrap it up.]

Oh! And... does anyone know where I could get some gloves? Really small ones?

[He doesn't know what half the animals Vaas just listed are; they're gone by his time. But he's sure that all of them are awesome.]

Well... I guess it couldn't be an improvement for everyone, unfortunately. But maybe we're close to your home and you can go back soon? Or maybe... there's a way to set up something similar here? It's a big ship, after all.

[shabby]

[ Vaas hums thoughtfully at that. He has been thinking of taking over the atrium. It's as close to home as he's going to get here. ]

You might be onto something there, hermano. I will think on it.

[unluckynumberseven]

Really? Awesome!

If you do figure something out, let me know! And I bet I'm not the only one who'd be really excited to meet a... a real bear, or go adventuring, or shoot a bow...

[Good job, Vaas. You got the little nerd all excited.]

[shabby]

Okay. Sure. I will let you know.

[ Possibly because he'll figure out how to get a bear—or an alien bear equivalent—on board and let it rampage through the ship. ]

Go to the big tree in the atrium. Your tiny gloves will be there next to the weird flowering bush.

[unluckynumberseven]

[Emil's helped stop a rampaging giant boar before. Alien bears probably won't be worse, right?]

They will?

[Wait.]

You mean as a... a present? Oh, wow! Thank you, Vaas! Thanks so much!

[Emil's day: Made.]

[shabby]

You're welcome. Enjoy them!

[ This has probably been the most normal, sane conversation Vaas has had in a long time. But the gloves will be there when Emile goes to collect them, just as promised. ]

Goodbye for now.

[unluckynumberseven]

Bye! And thanks again!

[He disconnects and, overcome with curiosity, sneaks out a little later to get them.

So cool. What a nice guy that was.]
