Should I be offended by this or

At least this time the volume was loud enough to head from afar. Lego smiled at Kris and rubbed the back of his head. "Uh, yeah! I mean...It's a cool place and I can do stuff. Not that Havenwood's boring or anything...I have things here that I don't over there. And uh...you know the place better than me so you'd be able to help me with things." Lego nodded then looked over his shoulder towards the back of the hut.

"Hm. Well, I'll search around the hut and see if I can find it. Wait right here." Lego began to circle the hut on the look out for a ladder, which he assumed was the step tool used to reach heights. Naming conventions were hard to get used to since he had other terms for them, and his translation device wasn't of the latest model. Most of the time he got by with using context clues. Sometimes, it was just impossible. Fortunately, 'ladder' was easy enough to figure out.

When he turned to face the back of the hut, his eyes caught sight of a rusted object that resembled what is called a 'ladder'. The alien hoisted it up on his shoulders and brought it back to Kris. "Hey, this it? It seems a bit busted but uh....thing it'll work? I mean, I could just get new lightbulbs if it's easier than looking in the dark and maybe falling over."

Kris mentioned the numbered switches, which got the alien interested in seeing those buttons up close. But there was no way to tell what these switches led to. "Huh....I guess these must be important. Numbers are usually pretty important." He was sure he would find out in due time, but for now he had everything he needed to know. He turned to Kris and pointed up to the burnt out lamps on the ceiling. "Alright, so the bulbs just have to be replaced, right? Do you know if there are any spares lying around? If not I can try to find some and bring them the next time I visit."

There really wasn't much more things left for Lego to do in the hut. Without the lights on, he couldn't start cleaning up and fixing the place. He was a bit disheartened realizing that he'd have to leave and return who knows when. He could just talk to Kris over the blogging site and discuss any future plans with the hut there, but he really liked the contents of the hut and was itching to get his hands on everything as soon as he could. He was reluctant to go just yet.

But it was dark, and he inevitably ran into the rack of half finished robotic limbs. The alien's long arms fumbled about trying to keep balance while simultaneously trying to keep the rack up, but it was in vain as both came crashing down with a loud sound. "Ooof! Crap! I didn't mean to do that!" At least he ended up on top of the limbs. He quickly got back up and attempted to put everything back to where it belonged. It was then he caught a glimpse of the electrical panel and he stopped to go check it out. "Oh! Found it...."

Lego opened the box and saw a series of switches, all of which were meticulously labeled. Unfortunately for him, he could not read any of the text. "Kris....uh...could you do me a favor and translate this...." In the meantime, he tried the best he could in the dimly lit room to find any semblance of light bulbs. He caught the last bit about the bulbs being burnt out, and there should be replacement bulbs somewhere. Well, any smart being would know to keep extras around at least. He'd have to ask Kris once he figured which switches did what.

Sorry

I didn't mean to come across as passive-aggressive or whatever on my personal but I'm terrible at confronting people since it stresses me out and sends me into a bit of panic and I'm sorry if some things I say get read wrong because it's text and you can't read tone very well. I honestly didn't mean anything by that post but uh...I guess others could have read it wrong. So I will apologize formally.

I'm not very good with words when explaining things so sorry in advanced for that also...

I'll add a page with my triggers on the blog

Again I'm sorry

[spaceblocks]

[ hey guys can you please tag things both IC and OOC if the subject is a trigger? or label the post with warnings so people who get triggered can ignore it? thanks ]

[spaceblocks]

I guess I should update everyone on my life.

It is going well.

Carry on.

Well duh there had to be one. The computer and Kris were on, so there had to be some sort of generator that's been running the entire time. Now that got Lego interested. There was a power source that was keeping the main computer running much longer than everything else around it, and he wanted to know what.

The alien barely heard Kris's voice echoing from deep within the house. Right, a portable speech device would do wonders as well. "Uh...you don't have to wait for me. I mean, it's still a bit of a walk to get here so uh...I'll knock the next time I come here and you can open the door for me. That's how humans do it, right?" Lego stepped back into the hut to get closer to the main computer.

"If you don't mind, I'm gonna look around some more. I should figure out how the lights work...Uh...also...is there a power source here? Your computer is the only thing running so there must be something keeping it alive, right? I can use that to get the rest of the place running." He would have started looking right away, but in the dark, there was little his eyes could do.

His vision wasn't all that much better than an average human's. Apparently having cool night vision and sharp vision was a thing humans fantasized aliens having, but alas, Gyuulaithians didn't have a need for enhanced eye sight. It was hardly ever dark on his planet what with artificial lights illuminating everything. In fact, many Gyuulaithians developed a phobia of the dark. Fortunately, Lego wasn't one of them. He actually embraced the dark and enjoyed the concept of day and night on Earth.

Lego returned to the computer as best he could, nearly tripping on the items he had tossed into the hall earlier. He returned the tools to their rightful place and closed the box. He began to mentally create a list of what to bring the next time he visited and became lost in his thoughts. If Kris came up to him and shook him violently, he probably would not have noticed even that.

feathermessages replied to your post: You have really long arms woah * O *

YES!! I DO!!! They’re really useful for travel! and double as extra arms U O U!!! I bet your arms have a lot of use being really long and stuff they’re really cool

Ehh....well I can reach a lot of things despite my height, and they are useful for moving stuff around. They get in the way sometimes, but yeah, I guess they're kinda cool. I mean, I don't see anything special about them but to you all it might be 8T

You have really long arms woah * O *

Yes. Yes I do. And you have wing thingys 8U

So this is what humans call 'friendship', right? Such casual relationships were frowned upon among his kind. If someone is close to you, they are there for business or for some ulterior motive. Or procreation. That was the third option. But Lego wasn't up to anything, especially not procreation with a robot of all things. He was genuinely interested in these human relationships. Heck, why not? He was stuck on Earth, wasn't he?

Lego watched Kris go around in search of the tools, following her when she strayed far from him. He startled and nearly lunged over to catch the robot whenever she tripped, but she caught herself and continued on her way before he could do anything else. Kris got to what she was looking for, but her efforts to move the box were proving to be difficult. Lego opened his mouth to offer assistance. However, the screeching noise of the box scraping along the floor made him cover his ears and wince. When it got quiet again, looked over and saw the tool chest by the fallen door.

"Ok don't ever do that again...Those wheels need a fuckton of oil and no one's moving the box until it's oiled." Once he collected himself, the alien began to browse through the tool chest. Some of the drawers were stuck so he left them alone, but the rest of the drawers held a myriad of tools, far more than he'd ever need and that he'd ever need to really care about. He picked up a few tools and set them aside, then hauled the door back up into its place. The hinge pins had rusted and broken, but those could easily be replaced. With what he had around him, he managed to temporarily hinge the door in place until he could find better parts. 

"Ehhh......this'll do for now. I'll be back another day to actually fix the door, but hey, it works." Lego smiled and took a look back at his work, feeling unusually proud at such a simple task.

[ in case anyone wants to know how lego looks in his original form ]

Please tell us, your captive audience, what your reproductive organs look like. Since they apparently don't resemble human ones.

Guhhh like I said, our organs are the stinger for guys and some sort of stretchy sac chamber inside the female's belly.

And uhh...females lay egg sacs. Yeah. That's it really....

[spaceblocks]

how does your species procreate?

UHHHHHH.....

Well uh...well.....it's a bit brutal compared to how you Humans do it, I'll tell you that much.

Uh...so like...Gyuulaithians have stingers on their tails. Both genders have poison in them usually, but when a male hits maturity and is in the right mood to uh...do the Thing, the poison is replaced by genetic fluid or something. Uhh...this is the ouch part. Like...we don't have outward showing procreation organs, which is kinda bad for the female because her organs are inside her belly area. The male has to use the stinger to pierce into the organ and inject the fluid. It's really messy and painful and there's lots of screaming and sometimes you can miss and it's terrible because the fluid is really bad if it goes into the rest of the female's body. Ugh I'm getting sick why am I even typing this out for you all?

But yeah...there are special chambers where mating pairs go so the noise doesn't disturb the rest of us....

There's more to this but uhhh I'm no expert. I just know the basics. I'm too young to have any experience in this I swear...

[ Lego then leaves and starts screaming and panicking outside of his house. Most people in the area would hear screaming in the distance ]
