Standing in the middle of the arena is a giant robot, red with golden trim, it's arms folded.

On it's back is a katana with a manji-shaped hilt guard big enough to be a small shield.

In it's hand is an ornate gilded crossbow with a fleur-de-lis motif, with cunningly concealed modern design.

And at it's stomach are two things: One, the laser cannon that did so much damage to the flowers, and two, a cockpit filled with blue gel, and Anna Lin looking out.

Those with mystical perceptions can see a thin but strong silver cord spooling out the back. If they follow it, it leads to Creche Alpha.

The robot and it's pilot wait.

[OOC: This is going to be an actionspam log as Tenshi and Anna finally have their friendly sparring match, but anyone else who wants to comment on the giant robot out of fecking nowhere can post!]

[Earlier, in her quest to Become Multicultural, Kanaya took a chance on one of those mysterious little boxes being handed out, full of This Human Confection Called Chocolate. She has become rather bubbly and friendly as a result, and feels a Strong Love For Her Fellow Female. Must have been the Strawberry Cream, or perhaps the Passionfruit. She certainly wouldn't be able to tell you which.

And when Kanaya loves somebody, she just wants to help them.

So she's hopped onto the Vine, and is now sitting in front of the mirror, legs crossed delicately beneath her as she looks into it. She looks quite pleased, almost eager, and there's a faint green blush to her cheeks, if you look.]

Hello, everyone.

I know I haven't been residing here particularly long, yet, but I feel that as long as I am trapped, I should do my best to become friendly with you all. So, I'm handing out an open invitation to you all, to talk. You can come to me with anything. I assure you, it won't surprise me.
