So apparently in return for getting some supplies to build simple MSE-6 droids, I have to give three of them away. One has been spoken for so that remains two to be given out.

I can really only program it to do simple tasks such as cleaning, deliveries, and simple maintenance for now.

They are going to take a lot of work to put together since resources here are limited so I want to know who wants one. Tell me why you should get one, if you'll actually take care of it, and I will consider your request.

[and with that, he switches off the recording.]

[ooc: Hux will be choosing two recipients at random ICly. OOCly, I will be doing a RNG drawing of interested characters who comment to this post to receive the mouse droids- I will be limiting it to one character per player to make it fair. I'll do the drawing Jan 4th at 12:01 am PST to give everyone a chance. If you aren't selected, Hux will make one if your character wants to trade for it in the future.]

My name's Jason Grace. I live in The Invincible. Having a droid to help around there and the gym would be great, especially for cleaning and simple upkeep of the equipment we keep stored there. I've not had a droid myself before, but I have worked with automatons in the past. They've proven very valuable, especially if cared for properly. I'd never hear the end of it if I treated one of them poorly, so I'm sure the same would apply to a droid.

Is...that all you need to know?

[therewillbeorder]

What kind of automatons have you used before?

I'm pleased you know the importance of upkeep with droids.

[notthatjason]

A dragon. Two dogs.

Oh and I guess Buford. He wasn't an automaton, but he was probably capable of about the same kind of operation you're describing for the MSE-6 droids.

Of course. If they're anything like automatons they can probably do a lot for you if you keep them up to code...well cleaned and everything.

[therewillbeorder]

I've never heard of a dragon before.

So you would be generally familiar with how droids work then. The MSE droids, or mouse droids, are very basic, especially with what I have to work with here.

Oh my gosh! That's super nice of you to do.

[ after a bit of humming under daylight's breath: ] Would you consider giving one to Ms. Misty? She's heading the gardening project here in Beacon and maybe your mouse friend can help give her a paw or two when it comes to taking care of the plants and stuff if that's possible.

And for the explanation contest thingy- I can help take care of the droid for her! I'm, um, been trained to do simple droid maintenance like cleaning and simple diagnostics run. [ anything more complicated was his friend's job but no need to give those details up. ]

[therewillbeorder]

[He's just going to ignore that comment about being kind, he knows full well he's not.]

These droids don't have paws. They have wheels and aren't suitable for rough terrain. They are used for patrolling the vast network of corridors in capital ships and bases.

I want to make sure the droids will be put to good use so perhaps it would be best to ask Misty if she could use one first.

Could it be programmed to function as a security system? To notify me or to sound an alarm if something were to breech a doorway?

[ Cheryl's well-spoken for a teenager, but the tone of her voice gives her away as being young. ]

[therewillbeorder]

It can, though it can't neutralize a threat by itself.

[sweetwater]

That won't be necessary. Once alerted I can swiftly dispose of any threat.

In any case, I submit my name for consideration. I'm Cheryl Blossom and I intend to use the droid to further ensure the safety of myself and my roommate.

My experience with droids is admittedly limited but I took meticulous care of my car and other belongings at home. I can guarantee you I'd do the same.

[therewillbeorder]

I will make note of your interest.

I can teach you how to properly maintain and use a mouse droid. I just want to make sure they are going to be cared for.

@wayne

[pearlstrings]

How many do you intend to build otherwise?

[therewillbeorder]

Right now I intend to build four.

I can build more in the future if someone is interested in having one and can trade for it.

[pearlstrings]

Reasonable.

Four for yourself and three to be donated? Or four in total?

[therewillbeorder]

One for myself, three to be donated. I have already selected someone for one, two will be given away.

[sauntered_downward]

I want one. I can use it to help us get out of here.

private

[therewillbeorder]

I'm not sure how it will be able to help but I'll put you down as interested.

@dr; text; hello this is slightly late

[donttalktome]

Assuming that "droid" is short for "android", just how large are these things?
And what do they run on? Is it even going to work after the battery dies?
Obviously I haven't decided whether or not I'm even interested, but on the positive column, I'm one of the few people here who could actually maintain the damn thing.
Seeing as how I know what a robot is and how they work.

@hux

[therewillbeorder]

I suggest you decide soon since I'll be choosing two people at random later this evening.

They run on a battery that can be recharged.

The size of the droids can vary but are usually around 20 inches long, 15 inches tall. But it depends on what materials I have access too, of course.

[donttalktome]

[... hm.]

That small?
Must not be short for android after all.
In that case, I'm not sure what use it would be, so I suppose I'll have to pass on the offer.
Won't something that short just get caught in the grass around here?

[As if he was guaranteed to get it anyway...]

@elvira

[vampirella]

i'll take one, and take awfully good care of it, promise

( if "awfully good care of it" is the same as trying to reprogram it to prank people, then sure she will. )

@hux

[therewillbeorder]

Do you have experience with droids?

[vampirella]

sure. tons. mostly of the domestic variety, but you're not going to hold that against a girl, are you?

( she's definitely talking about a roomba. whoops, but LOOK, she's definitely not embellishing to try and improve her case for free stuff she doesn't deserve or need. that would be incredibly unlike her. )

I have no idea what anything you just said means except 'something that helps maintenance and clean.'

MRE-6...Was that right? Anyway, what about one for the inn's kitchen? It gets awful messy after dinner.

[therewillbeorder]

It could be used for basic cleaning tasks, yes. I will put you down as interested and I can show you how to use and maintain it if needed.

[maisel]

That sounds FANTASTIC! [ Can you hear it in her voice, Hux? She's elated. ]
