( well, we are sure off to a rowdy good time.

kara, meanwhile, is just trying to keep it simple by making this note to the network. )

Hello, my name is Kara.

As the selection of clothing offered can be found wanting for some, I have taken to mending and adjusting some of the clothes that I've found for myself. I thought I might offer this to anyone that might need assistance given the limited selection in some sizes and for some heights.

Since I do not sleep, I have a lot of free time so you are free to message me whenever you might need to make a request.

( because sometimes a girl just needs to sit, stew and rip clothes apart. it's therapeutic. )

That is awful kind of you, Kara. I will keep you in mind on that account.

( gene's as illiterate as the day is long, an' the app he's using to convert text to speech (and vice-versa) has a side-effect of capturin' that side'a him that's awkward and stilted some. sorry, kara.

after a few minutes there's another message: )

If you've the time and inclination, I might make a request for some manner of medical dressings? I can show you what they're supposed to look like, an' help some with the sewing. Ripped-up sheets work in a pinch, but it'd be nice to have some sturdier things set aside if there's a need.

[chores]

No need, I have all that I need to know on medical dressings in my programming already. Would cotton wool be most preferable for you?

[preseance]

( 'programming' just ain't a word he knows. he assumes it's some manner'o training. )

That would work, yes. And it'd be mighty appreciated. We're running a clinic in the Church and could use all the supplies we could get.

[chores]

Yes-- of course. I'll keep an eye out for anything that might prove most useful for you and the others.

Is there anything else you might need? I used to take care of children but my knowledge of human medicine is, admittedly, lacking in some regards as what might be best to focus on.

[preseance]

Don't suppose you know CPR?

Hey Kara! I'm Daylight! :D

Do you have, like, a height limit when it comes to adjusting the clothes? Because I'm pretty tall and I thought I should ask you before asking for help with some things.

[chores]

That depends, I suppose. How tall is 'pretty tall'? I imagine I can adjust things as needed though.

[sunborne]

[ might as well get this out of the way- ]

Around ten feet tall.

[ there's a little pause, and he sends the next message: ] Ten feet, three inches to be exact. That's my exact height when I'm in my current frame.

[ he's still kind of sad that he hasn't grown in the last three Earth years back home. :( ]

[chores]

Ten feet, three inches.

It's not something I've done before but I imagine my programming should allow me to calculate how best to fix something for you if needed.

[sunborne]

Really! Oh wow! That's great to hear.

Thanks!!! :D I owe you my life big time. Is there anything I can do to make this easier for you? Find the materials or something? The least I can do!

@viewfinder

[burstmodes]

so is that something you like doing for fun?

[chores]

For fun? Not really but it's useful. I figure it's better to not let my skills go to waste especially when I was only programmed with so much.

[burstmodes]

yeah i get that part
i mean the usefulness thing
but what sort of stuff do you do when you need a break?
working too much will just make you feel kinda crazy
especially in a place like this

[chores]

I don't really have any hobbies or stuff I do for fun, I didn't have the chance or time for them back home. And since constantly working is what I was made to do it doesn't really bother me.

[burstmodes]

yeah but that's so not the point
you gotta have a balance
unless you like working
but even then you should still do something fun

Hi, Kara.

You don't sleep?

[chores]

Hello. It's not something I require, no.

[hardwearing]

Can I ask why that is?

You don't have to answer, I'm just curious.

[chores]

It's fine. But it's because I'm an android so because of my internal battery, I don't require it to replenish my energy.

[hardwearing]

I was wondering if it was something like that. You don't ever have to recharge... is it a microfusion cell?

@kingofwei

[pure_havoc]

I prefer my own clothing, do you believe you can patch, shall we say, burn damage?

[chores]

I can certainly try. I might need to use other clothing in the process of mending it but it doesn't be terribly hard to figure out.

[pure_havoc]

understandable, though I haven't seen anything else made of silk in the shop.

[that's right he's all silk all the time thanks China]

[chores]

Hmm. I haven't either and silk is, understandably, harder to mend. It takes a very delicate hand.

[pure_havoc]

I would imagine so.

I am willing to at least make an attempt. my own clothing means that much to me. if it proves impossible, I will accept it.
