MY PRECIOUS TAIL!!!

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

When Tatsu isn't working as a plushie for Dita to feel better it is working on the Fury. It seems obviously enraged that something had the NERVE to try and damage the tail of the Fury! Sure, the Fury could operate without it but it's the principle that matters! As Tatsu works it is growling in an annoyed way. Most likely mad ramblings. Brother/Help?

Hm? Whassa matter little guy? Someone scared you so badly out there you nearly had to drop that thing?

[Motions to the tail. Yes. He was referring to the tendency of Lizards to drop their tails when fleeing.]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Oh, talk about pouring gas into the fire. Tatsu lets out several angry growls at Luger. Who was he to suggest that Tatsu was a coward?! Suddenly a piece of paper slams into Luger's face. It reads 'Tatsu...No...Run!'

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

Eh, more fool you then. You probably wouldn't have had to deal with that mess if you did.

[He casually tosses the paper aside. He checks his cig. It was pretty much close to spent by the time Tatsu slapped the paper to his face. Still though. There was the principle of the thing. Luger plucks it from between his lips and flicks it at the Mechanical Lizard. Before he replaces it.[

Running keeps you alive when you know you're outmatched.

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu dodges the cig that is tossed at it but it is now really angry! Another piece of paper slams into Luger's face. There is only one word. 'Above.' When Luger looks up he gets a face full of Tatsu who is now clawing at Luger's face with its' metallic knife-like claws! It was going to teach this human some respect!

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

[Tatsu was now mauling at Luger's face. Him being a man with more diseases than humanly possible the rapid attack along with the impact of Tatsu on his face has him slam hard into the ground. Painfully.]

...

[Tatsu now has to deal with an unconscious and VERY sick person that is bleeding from his face on the deck. And the cleanup crews are probably going to have to sterilize everything that blood touched. Nice job there Charmander.]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu takes a brief second to take pride in its' win over Luger before looking back at him. Tatsu doesn't know anything about Luger's health issues but does have concerns about an unconscious member of the Chalice. So Tatsu drags Luger through the Chalice to the infirmary.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

Well well, the little lizard can work on his own machine.

That's rather interesting.


[[Christ, it's that red Haro!]]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu looks at the red Haro in confusion. It stops working on the Fury for a bit so that it can study this weird robot before it.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

[[You are a machine too? Riiiiight?


You approach the Red Haro, and it ROLLS into Tatsu... aggressively. Not that there's an expression to read.]]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu jumps back and growls defensively. The growl is made up of binary code so the Haro can understand the growl. 'Why you attack Tatsu?!'

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

Binary hmm?

Hayana flashes her eyes in Morse Code, rather than it's redundant, brief sentences.

"Don't think you're better than me because you have arms and legs."

Wow... a true bitch... because she doesn't get to have a body.

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Oh Tatsu does NOT like this little Haro! It was already annoyed and then this Haro comes along. It isn't going to take this lying down.

'At least Tatsu no have to make fun of others to make Tatsu feel better!'

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

"I'm not trying to feel better about myself. I already know I'm better than you." Again, with the binary.



[[And Hixar groans.]] What have I told you about gettin along with people. You're going to get us kicked off the ship. [[He picks up the red ball.]] You know I can't do my work without you.

Now. Apologize. [[Not you Tatsu, Hayana.]]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

That last comment really made Tatsu mad so the scene that Hizar comes across is Tatsu about to pounce Hayana and obviously throttle it.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

[[Don't worry, he'll throttle her for you. He knows how to bring up her avatar and yell at her directly!]]

I said apologize, Hayana.



[[She doesn't mean it, obviously.]]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu isn't fooled and advances slightly and bearing its' fangs. This thing annoyed Tatsu more than that accursed cat.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

[[And Hixar is very casual about turning and keeping Hayana out of reach.]]

You need to stop being so rude to others. We're supposed to be making friends, not enemies.

Now, go sit in the mobile suit. By yourself. [[He tosses her a bit to get her rolling, before turning back to Tatsu and patting him on the head, all friendly like.]] She didn't hurt you too much, did she? You must be some kind of computer or AI-machine for her to hate you so.

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu gives a small laugh at seeing the Haro thrown away. Once Tatsu hears Hixar's question Tatsu just snorts and shakes its' head. Hayana couldn't do too much damage to Tatsu even if she wanted to. Once Hixar brings up AIs Tatsu nods and hands him a note. 'Tatsu, AI of Cerberus Headquarters'.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

"Well now, little Tatsu, seems I was right. That's one little quirk I'll never understand.

But let me think... Cerberus HQ... I don't think there's much information on that. I might need your help. My boss... Where are my manners. I'm Hixar. Hopefully, you can understand me?" Quite polite, if not nosy.

[You're not the only one who's fixing your machine's tail]

Yours too?

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Someone who can understand poor Tatsu's despair! Tatsu looks at Rinon with a bit of a pathetic look as it hands Rinon a note. 'Everything...Attacked...Tatsu's...Tail!'

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

Did you see mine? Stupid Fuzzy Pandas tried ripping it off!

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu gives Rinon a look of sympathy and concern before handing a note. 'You...And...It...Okay?'

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it can be fixed. They didn't damage my sniper rifle, at least.

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

[This thing again, huh? One look at the Fury and Yuunagi can understand why Tatsu is pissed.]

It happens to my unit's wings all the time. Even worse when I can't fly without them...at least without the limiters off.

[At that, he heaves a quiet sigh and walks around the dino-robot, surveying the external damage.]

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu runs along the tail to work on it. The damadge will take some time to fix but isn't too bad. There are a few fairly deep gashes as well as a pinch of internal damage to the tail. However, because of the damage caused to the tail the Fury's machine gun can't properly aim or fire.

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

[He notes the machinegun problem in particular.]

We'll have to do something about that.

Though there is something I find strange. Did your creator really expect you to repair damages on your own?

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu looks down for a bit before handing a note.

'Tatsu's...Creator...Dead.'

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

[A moment of silence.]

I see...

[Surprisingly, Yuunagi pats Tatsu on the head, much like one would pet an animal. The feeling of losing a father-figure wasn't alien to him.]

Don't worry. I'd say you're lucky for ending up here after what happened. If these people can take care of a person like me, they'll do the same for you.

[mad-copycat.livejournal.com]

Tatsu thinks about it for a bit before nodding. It missed its' creator but it has met several great people on the Chalice so it was glad about that little fact.
