Not long. I didn't mean to startle you.

[ it's kind of a relief, to see her in wonder like that. ]

These must be all very new to you.

[sootprints]

They are. I've always been very interested in machines, even though I don't understand their workings very well.

[toxicate]

Most people who use them daily don't understand their workings. What kind of machines did you use back home?

[sootprints]

The Research Team in the children's wing would develop all sorts of things... most of it for practical uses, like cleaning.

Oliver had some more eccentric inventions... such as a lie detecting device.

[ That was a close one... ]

[toxicate]

Everyday technology is the most useful, if not the most interesting. A lie detector would have been bad for your infiltration, hm. You managed to avoid it?

[ taking one of the lamps down and giving it a look-over. ]

These are a bit tacky.

[sootprints]

... I managed to convince him to be my ally. So it worked out.

[ sometimes you get caught so you just make your pitch. ]

[toxicate]

...you really would make a good Shadow Paladin.

[ i did the same thing, once. sort of, anyway. ]

If you could invent something, even something a bit frivolous, what would you pick?

[sootprints]

Hmm... I'm not sure.

One of the things our team works on is finding new ways to deal with cleaning soot... The roombas would be quite revolutionary, if we had them.

Other than that... A flying machine, perhaps.

[toxicate]

Cleaning robots are quite cute, aren't they? Like having a pet.

[ stick cat ears on a roomba and hope for the best? ]

That could mean a few things. A plane, or a pair of wings.

... I can make wings using my power, but I can only glide with them. I'd need some way to propel myself upwards if I wanted to actually fly.
