Okay, okay so apparently they are trying to festive or something. And to be honest, I'm complaining about the gift though I think I'm already being typecast.

[He held up what was clearly a pink horse plushie though the horse was fluffier... a glownie. You visit a herd of miniature glowing horses a couple of times and suddenly even the world is thinking you are THAT guy]

But I could really do without the glitter. Don't they realize how hard this is going to be with a robotic arm?

[He sighed]

Never going to get this out.

[At least his version is a diversionary tactic and not a way to annoy the people you don't like even though the other realized this was what would happen when you did. He laughed]

Yes, definitely a good way to get on someone's bad side. But if you have no other choice, it is effective.

Doesn't seem like there are many options otherwise, unfortunately. Short of, you know, being down any arm when outside until this is over.

[on_repeat]

Heh! I'll keep it in mind.

[The clone nods and another dusting of glitter shimmers down from the seal of his helmet and onto his chestplate. He sighs.]

Looks like. How long do you think this will last?

[lionunchained]

Not a clue. I hope only a few days, but even then that's too long for this. It was amusing for the first ten minutes. Now it's old.

[on_repeat]

[He does have to laugh a bit here.]

It got old the second I put my helmet on. Guess we'll just have to tough it out until then.

So rarely get to use this icon

[lionunchained]

Oh geez yeah. I could see that. Dumping a bunch of glitter on your head. Unfortunately not many options.

It's perfect

[on_repeat]

I was afraid of that. Eh, I'll live. Good future point of reference, though: check your kit thoroughly before you put it on.

[lionunchained]

Yeah. Unfortunately, sometimes that is how you learn good lessons, by something happening that you wish hadn't happened.

[Despite the glittery pause, Echo shifts to a more thoughtful tone.]

Sounds like you have plenty of experience in that department.

[lionunchained]

Yeah, I feel like I've seen that more times than most. Then again, I was the leader of a group of teenagers so that might have had something to do with it.

I'm Shiro.

[on_repeat]

ARC-1409. I go by Echo.

No one listens to the calls you make?

[lionunchained]

Nice to meet you, Echo.

Well, most of my team aren't here. Back home, they did listen. But still, sometimes teenagers have their own ideas of how to handle things.

[on_repeat]

Nice to meet you, too, Shiro.

Ah. That kind of mindset I'm familiar with. [He chuckles.] My brothers and I used to be like that during training. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though. Everyone eventually shapes up, and it's good you still have most of their attention.

[lionunchained]

Yeah. They did start out being rather disorganized but they got their act together and we were quite a team. I guess that's the way it always is until a team gets used to working together.

[on_repeat]

Usually. Especially when they have strong personalities clashing against each other. I sometimes wonder if that's the case here now that we're all away from what we're used to doing.

[lionunchained]

I suspect there will likely be some of that. Especially if there are too many leaders and not enough people willing to follow.

[on_repeat]

Maybe the Agrii should've taken that into account. Here's hoping we're able to get pass some of those hurdles, then.

[lionunchained]

[He chuckled] Yeah. A lot of leaders sounds good in theory, but there is also the problem that they don't like being told what to do. Really though, a good leader should also be willing to take orders too. I hope that we are as well.

[on_repeat]

Right? When push comes to shove, we'll compromise over who leads and who follows.

That being said, if you or anyone else ever needs help with anything, I'm all for lending a hand.

[lionunchained]

Yeah, hopefully, others will compromise as well.

Sounds good. I'll let you know. And you can let me know as well if you need anything.

[on_repeat]

Alright. See you around, Shiro.
