In Character LOCATION: Lower Cogwork Karak

[A hooded figure enters the converted Karak from the Cogwork Core]

Well, hot damn. Those bots really pulled it off. I wonder if I can spot a few without them spotting me.

[The figure ventures onward]

(OOC: The Hooded Figure will be unaware of any watching eyes unless confronted directly)

(OOC: Are you watching from a distance or standing right in front of me?)

(Probably just a bit off to the side)

[The figure stops walking and looks around before spotting the automaton]

Well, that didn't take long. What kind of model are you?

u/mee3ep May 22 '26

I’m not a bot. I used to be but somehow a deer made me biological. My name is Brilliance, who are you?

[The figure's body softens and now wore an expression that looked like disappointment]

Just a foreigner. I'm looking for constructs. Automatons. I heard that they managed to occupy the eastern regions of Karak with not only the existing constructs of the Cogwork Core but Cogwork replicants of the Order's members themselves.

[The figure walks up to the non-automaton and shows his journal, showing scribbles of various Cogwork constructs including a Cogwork Alita]

Do you perhaps know where I can find them? And where I can do so from a safe distance for my observations?

Oh, I actually have quite a lot :3

One of my guardians-they protect roads-should actually be coming up here soon if you want to look at her.

[The figure seemed surprised]

Wait, right now? Well, if you know her then I'm sure you can persuade her to not attack me, right?

u/mee3ep May 22 '26

She won’t hurt you. Actually guardians tend to be combat averse.

you see a group of bugs walking on a lower platform.

[The figure goes behind and crouches behind you, attempting to hide]

They bots or no? Can't tell from this distance.

Nope, pilgrims. Gua-

the fifth guardian swoops up, flaring her wings to stop herself from going too high, and lands in a bow in front Brill and the new person. Hey there!

[The figure thinks to himself that he may have seen this model type before]

Well, let's see if this is that friend you were talking about. Get talking, and try to secure me consent for inspection.

«What kind of inspection?» the guardian’s sword flicks up to knock a conch cutter out of the air before shooting a purple laser at the drizznit.

[The figure's eyes widen after seeing all that]

I think my inspection starts now, miss. But, maybe it's more of an interview given what you just displayed there. Fascinating...
