Hey guys!

[ a robotic humanoid waves at the far cast when he (mostly) comes into view. he seems to be hiding in an alley of some sorts, crouching against a wall to make sure he can't be seen.

even then he's a tad too big. most of his forehead has been cut off from view, making his expressions seem much more exaggerated all the while. ]

I know it's been a rough for days for us and stuff and I know we're all busy with our own things but, um, I was wondering if I could get some opinions on something? It's super duper important.

[ he rubs the back of his neck, humming to himself to try and collect himself. ] So- I'm thinking of working for the Guilds to earn my keep while I'm here. Gotta help out somehow, you know?

Dropped by their place and... Well... I got a lot of interest. I mean most, if not all of them, want to poke at me and stuff but what else is new on that front when you're only the only mechanoid in a place and-

[ focus, day. ]

Right!! Basically: Four of them want me to join their Guilds and it's kind of hard to choose? They all make good points on how I can help them out and I want to help out. It's just I can tell they want me to only pick one and they're all intense so... Yeah.

Oh! Right! I'm Daylight. Dayligh vis Lornlit. [ the winglets behind his back perk up and flutter, accompanying the cheerful wave he gives. ] I hope we can be buddies! And thanks in advance for any advice!!

Can I ask what it is?

[sunborne]

Energy consumption, basically.

I run on an 'eternal efficiency system' thingy. It's hard for me to explain but my Auntie Breakthrough once said I was a 'perpetual energy machine.' I made enough arc energy to sustain myself without outside resources needed.

That's not the case now. For some reason I've been burning through my excess and then some.

[ he's very sleepy and easily hungry as a result if he doesn't get enough hours to recharge and refuel. and when you're in a city that's full of folks who are struggling to make ends meet for food... yeah. he's going to feel awkward and find a way to be more energy efficient. ]

[retrorsum]

Not as difficult as you'd think.

What resources would help?

[sunborne]

[ .... he's not gonna lie, he's curious by this confident and enigmatic message.

very curious. ]

A reliable source of energy of some sorts. Some sort of charger thingy I can plug into when I fall into recharge stasis. If I go into recharge stasis as if, I regain some energy but not a lot compared to when I'm plugged into something that can help me conserve and recharge.

[retrorsum]

Could we build what you need?

[sunborne]

[ … build. ohhhh— that’s really tempting, he’s not gonna lie. ]

Possibly! I don’t remember the exact schematics but I know I can draw it as a whole and it apart well enough.

Could that be a good start?

[ he's not sure how they'll address the material issues but-! he likes to think they're making progress. ]

[retrorsum]

It's better than nothing. If you can get a schematic it would help us to begin enquiring about the materials that would be necessary for it.

[sunborne]

Sure! I can try to sketch it out by today and send it to you. Hopefully. I've got lots of stuff to do today but I'm super grateful for your help!

Are you in the queen's place as well? We can meet up in person if you want!

[retrorsum]

Take your time with it. We need all the details we can get.

[sunborne]

Phew! That's a relief. I have a feeling I'm gonna be busy for a bit so that's good to hear.

I'll hit you up when I have it readied and everything. Thanks for your help; I really owe you one. :D
