Re: Housing concern.

Greetings,

My name is [It's a struggle getting used to typing the correct name here despite the reassuring network usename.] Minimus Ambus. If you have witnessed a large mechanical life form near the ferry today, you would have seen me. I have briefly gone through the buildings near the bonfire, but many appear to be occupied or otherwise not meeting my standards.

To those who have resided here for longer than I have: where are the cleanest residences? I require little, simply a flat surface on which to recharge and storage space. The current state of the room is not a barrier, considering the state of many things in Beacon, but I must be able to maintain it well and frequently.

Signed,

Minimus Ambus

It is the name of our planet, which was formed some time before our existence.

There are plenty of creation myths which aim to explain our beginnings, but no one alive remembers what happened in the earliest days of our existence. I would assume that like me, their Sparks were formed in the planet’s hotspots and grew their bodies shortly thereafter, but that is not relevant to our situation.

Fascinating. Such a different way of being than humanity. I realize none of this is especially relevant to our current situation, but there's nothing wrong with learning more about each other, is there?

I agree that understanding our partners facilitates trust. However, asking the circumstances of my birth does no dictate my actions here.

[His background is relevant when it comes to his feelings, but this is a serious situation. Not friendship time.]

[nekrosmanteia]

Well, no. No one's birth circumstances dictate their actions. We've all got free will, after all. Just call me curious, I guess.

[All times are friendship times what are you talking about?]

[Please don't make him participate in bonding rituals that he'll inevitably mess up.]

You would do better to ask a medic, a geologist, or a blacksmith on the specifics. I can only speak of my personal background and of those willing to share theirs.
