[ 748 Partridge Drive ]

[Hello, there, residents of Partridge Drive. You might notice a new 'statue' behind # 748. In the backyard, to be precise. Tieria finally opened his package and now it was there. Hope its sudden arrival didn't take out any patio furniture or fencing...

Sorry, drone!Mom... didn't mean to crush the flower bed.

Tieria was outside with it, trying to decide what to do.]

[Hiling first saw it when she looked out the window. She had to go check it out. Looking up at the Gundam, she goes over to Tieria.]

This looks familiar.

[vedaandme]

Indeed. [He was studying it carefully.] It is currently unarmed. [Which meant it wasn't entirely dangerous beyond possibly stepping on someone or destroying a building by crashing into it. Though, beyond that, Tieria wasn't quite sure what to trust about it. After all, if he'd gotten it from Mayfield...]

[prideinbattle]

[Hiling had been wary of her mobile suit since the incident where it disappeared while she was piloting it. Who knows what could happen next. At least she was completely back to her human body. She actually kind of appreciated it now, though she would never say so.]

Are you going to try it out?

And we'll just pretend I'm using the right account... Though, that was a better icon

[vedaandme]

I do not know, yet. After all, I have no reason to trust it really is Seraphim. And I certainly have no reason to believe that I would receive it with no problems. [This place had done strange things, after all.]

[prideinbattle]

Hm, I guess I can see that... but it's no fun to leave it sitting out here. [Someone (like her) might break in and take it for a ride if he doesn't.]

[vedaandme]

Fun has nothing to do with it.

[Well, maybe it did to the people who might joy ride it, but it wasn't fun for him. He needed to figure out what to do with this thing and how to protect it.]

[prideinbattle]

Everyone's going to know that it's yours now.

[vedaandme]

Yes. That is unfortunately unavoidable. [Regrettable, really. If he'd just been given a location to pick it up at, it would have been a lot better.]

I need to find a place to store it. I cannot leave it here.

[prideinbattle]

I don't know if there are any barns around here... You could hide it in the lake.

[vedaandme]

Mm. [He would have to consider his options... and quickly.]

I suppose.

[prideinbattle]

It could come in handy with all the weird things that happen here. At the very least it could be a safe place to take shelter.

[vedaandme]

Mm. [He couldn't disagree with that.]

Where do you keep yours?

[prideinbattle]

Wherever I want!

[vedaandme]

That is not helpful.

[prideinbattle]

What's not to get? Who's going to tell us where we can keep our walking weapons of mass destruction?

[vedaandme]

That was not the point of my question.

[prideinbattle]

Then what? You think you can steal it?

[vedaandme]

Why would I want to? [Really, totally missing his so-very-unclear point.] I was looking for options on where to put this one.

[prideinbattle]

[She's just giving you a hard time.] Why not just leave it here. That way everyone will know this house is protected.

[vedaandme]

Because it is too exposed here.

[prideinbattle]

So what? Why does that matter here?

[vedaandme]

Because people here are not familiar with them. That is even more dangerous than those who are.

[prideinbattle]

You think so? How come?

[vedaandme]

Because they could cause more problems by not knowing how to handle it.

[prideinbattle]

So keep it locked when you're not using it.
