Super Robot Wars Unlimited Generation @lpha

[Yuu is just staring at the empty dock in the hangar where the Rushbird was standing only a day earlier.]

So he took flight on his own...

[Strangely enough, Ichitaka's aloof older brother doesn't seem all too upset. He does bring a hand up to his chin after a moment or two, though.]

...Maybe I should have let him borrow the wings.

Aaa...I understand...is that how it works?

[See Yuunagi. See Yuunagi actually casually conversing with multiple girls at the same time...without being weird?

Granted, these were mostly the geeky types (part of the maintenance teams, and even some teachers!) and conversation subjects were of a mechanical nature. Still, it's pretty amazing.

This preparation area adjacent to the battle arena was almost like a hangar, and Yuu is just going about looking at equipment and units that are not classified in nature. He really seems to be enjoying himself.

Feel free to bother him though!]

[In the hangar, Yuunagi is looking over the Rushbird's damage. But more importantly, he notes that the injured Ichitaka is nowhere to be found.]

Fighting in that condition...

[Yeah, he can't stop the kid, and he knows that, but that doesn't mean he can't be frustrated about it.

Feel free to tell him where you've spotted his brother, if you have.]

[Yuunagi's been staring at the wreckage of the Rushbird and his own Straybird after the mission, blinking only once in a while. He hasn't gone to check Ichitaka's condition; no, he felt he didn't have the right to.]

Those people were definitely the ones...first gramps...now this...

[He slams a fist into a nearby crate.

Was this really all he could do against this threat? He couldn't even protect his own brother...]

[Those who visit the hangar may notice a strange pile of scrapped parts building up on the floor by the Straybird's station. Some of these parts have been assembled to form a chair of sorts, but it looks far from complete...

Yuunagi muses aloud;]

This might be far more complex than I'd anticipated. Was using broken parts a little too ambitious?

[Since the time he'd spent using the Federation Base's simulators, Yuunagi has devoted considerable time to whatever he's building, besides doing his usual work alongside the other mechanics like Lowe and MarKus. The recent Christmas events (like the party, which Yuunagi obviously did not attend; since despite his social progress, he's still unable to endure crowds of more than 3 people in a decently sized room) gave him more leeway to focus on this too.

But no matter how much effort he poured into this project, he just can't seem to get it right...]

[Dissatisfied? Hell yes.

Since the end of the mission, Yuunagi has been spending his time in the simulators, not even bothering to eat or drink. His targets? Any huge machines available in the database; all larger, heavier and better armored than the Straybird by varying degrees.

The results turn out to be less than satisfactory. At the same time, he knew that the circumstances of the mission prevented him from utilizing the Straybird's abilities to the fullest.

Regardless, he keeps going at it without stopping, it might not achieve anything, but maybe it's just his way of venting?

Feel free to join or bother him if you decide to visit.]

(Important OOC - Since the mods have kindly pointed out that the Chalice does not have simulators of its own, the simulators in use for this log are the multipurpose simulators in the Federation base.)

1. [Yuunagi's working hard on the Rushbird that his brother ended up ruining earlier. He looks pretty frustrated, but he's not stopping for anything. You may notice him climbing and crawling around the Super Robot's massive frame, though the progress he's making is limited.

Bother?]

2. [Same location as (1). The White Chalice's hangar is mostly empty by this time of the day; everyone else is either working on other parts of the ship or resting. However, muffled sound effects and voices can be heard from the small space between the Rushbird and Straybird's maintenance stations.

If you choose to investigate, you'll find Yuunagi sitting in front of a small TV he managed to procure somehow, happily watching what appears to be the opening sequence to a mecha anime.

Ask him about it?]

Since he had boarded the White Chalice, Yuunagi had been particularly focused on repairing the damage dealt to the Straybird. To anyone that passed by and glanced his way, he seemed to be in a rush.

Fortunately for him, the parts from the Graife residence brought onto the White Chalice by Ichitaka were sufficient to complete the repairs.

"The sooner I'm done here, the sooner I can leave" would be his answer to those who might have decided to ask why he was being so hasty.

Despite his talk with Ichitaka, Yuunagi was still adamant on continuing his search for their grandfather, alone.

Bother him? Convince him otherwise?

1. [Well, the douche who attacked Ichitaka is walking through the hangar, since he has to put the damaged Straybird somewhere before he can check on his brother.

He can't help but take glances at everything else that's around, but he stops in front of the Rushbird and stares at it.

Punch him? Give him a talking to?]

2. [Yuunagi finally gets to the infirmary where Ichitaka is being treated, and although he can't express it in words, there's now regret written all over his face.

Punch him still? Or actually say something nice, that's up to you.]
