Characters: Equius Zahhak (AU) and YOU
Setting: Floor 70, the machine.

Summary: Equius gets his geek on in the worst conceivable way.
Warnings: Possible crushing, burning, or acid corrosion. YAY SCIENCE!


[...Wow.]

[There was no telling how big this floor was. The walls and ceiling were nowhere in sight, because they were completely covered by a massive breathing machine. There was a faint tinge of rust in the air here, and the outer reaches were further obscured by smoke of various colours. Metal parts clunked and ground against one another, making extremely unattractive noises as they did so. A truly staggering amount of the mechanisms here were burned or dented (or maybe they were supposed to be that way, since they were unfamiliar), but they all seemed to be working together towards... something that wasn't immediately clear. There had to be a million different platforms all around the place, but most of them were conveyor belts, carrying scraps of some kind of metal into a huge boiling vat of liquid that sizzled when something dropped in.]

[It was beautiful.]

[Not much to see here, Tower; just a troll, standing next to the staircase, gawking in amazement at the monstrosity in front of him. Judging from the oil streaks that have long since dried on this particular pair of pants, he could feel perfectly at home here... if he got an opportunity to look around. Right now, it's all unfamiliar. And way too big. All Equius can do for quite a long time is stand there and gawk. What could this thing be for?]

[He seems to want to find out, as shortly afterward he's examining the closer and less dangerous metallic innards. And then the slightly further metallic innards. And eventually he's crawling and jumping all over the place, still in view of the staircase, but observing mechanisms that could crush a hand and balancing on things that really ought not to be balanced on, all in the interest of getting just a little closer to that peculiar piece of machinery. It's just so interesting. He seems to be doing pretty well now; one of Equius' few talents is coordination and nimble movement. But who knows how long that'll last if someone startles him...]

[Still remains at a stance, relaxed and calm. The change in his attitude makes the troll smile. ]

There is no need to apologize. I am glad that you manage to find yourself some entertainment in this tower.

[He comes to nod in agreement.]

That is true, your carelessness nearly caused trouble and danger to your well being. Though considering your talents and hobbies, I am only coming to assume of course given your background, that you are well versed in what you are doing.
iron_infidel: (RATHER WIDE GRIN)

Omg this is late, sorry T^T

[personal profile] iron_infidel 2013-03-02 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Pardon, what is it that you mean? I am simply admiring your skills and talents and complimenting you on them.

[Was there anyway to get through to this troll?]

Are you not deserving of compliments?
iron_infidel: (Smile)

[personal profile] iron_infidel 2013-03-07 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then perhaps you should re-evaluate how you see yourself. From where I stand, you are deserving of compliments.

I see a worth in others. You may call it a gift if you will, but I will not ignore or deny a talent or find something unworthy of a comment.
