Hey, everyone! Welcome to my ✨ new home tour! ✨

This is Muten-Ichi-Ryū Dōjō and I'm happy to show it to you!

[ This following video is filmed in the style of early 2000s influencers, unfortunately for everyone. Rosie holds up her smart phone to cover part of her face in any reflection and goes room to room to talk about the various parts of it and (lack of) amenities.

Most importantly to note though is: ]

-and, as the name implies, it has a dojo attached to it! For all you superhero or spar-happy types, I'm opening it up to the public for anyone to use! No appointments necessary or anything either, just come on down when you feel like it. It's a little out here though the peace and quiet might be nice to some.

But! All the weapons are bamboo or wood and you gotta' wear the padded suits for safety. This place is for training purposes only. I don't want anyone getting too roughed up. Besides, do you know how hard blood is to get out of these floors...?

I am a healer though, at least, so any unexpected injuries I can be on standby for.

[ She winds down the video by propping up her recording against something to film herself while she sits facing the enclosed garden on the property. She isn't looking at the camera now, but instead out towards it. ]

You may recognize this place it as previously belonging to Rin Asano, but... I figured I'd 'move in' to help keep it up and allow other folks to use it in her absence. We were from the same place, actually, even if different times so- This'll be my way of remembering her and making sure she has a place to come back to that's not, like, in disrepair or anything.

I think it's what she would have wanted. I hope it is.

[ Before things can get too somber though, there comes a small cluckcluckcluck from off-screen before a chicken pops into the frame. It peers curiously at the camera before pecking at it and knocking the device down. From somewhere unseen: ] Buck, come on, I swear to the gods...

[ The video ends there after another whoosh of air and dizzying video, but she's still available to talk once she has the device in hand again and away from unexpected chicken interruptions. ]

[ After a few cursory sniffs, Smokey seems satisfied. It is a strange metal creature but seems fine enough in his book. He wanders off to go chase the chickens or... something more exciting, maybe. Once the lizard starts moving around the house though he might become interested again. ]

I wouldn't have thought of that either, honestly. Though most robots where I'm from weren't nearly as advanced as here.

Like, the most impressive I saw was a little server robot. It was just basically trays on wheels that played fun music while it delivered your drinks at restaurants.

[ It might be a simple concept, but Gorgug thinks about that for a second, and... ]

That's cool. I could make a little server robot.

[ Wow... wouldn't that be fun, Rosie? But that's how Gorgug feels about any potential project, his to-do list a never ending scroll. For now, he looks back down to the lizardbot, and places his hand down on its head. Not in any affectionate manner, but just to get its attention. ]

Okay. You go and find bombs. Look for those [ grenades-- um ] things I showed you. Okay? And then tell me. ... okay.

[ The bot turns its head towards the way that Smokey went, but after a moment starts scuttling with a rush deeper into the dojo house. G-goodbye! It has a job where it can start to hide!!

Gorgug gets back up, and looks at Rosie awkwardly for a second. ]

...so you don't want to keep any if we find them?

[ Mayhaps?? ]

[hasitsthorns]

Is there anything you couldn't make? [ Realistically, she imagines there are limits to what he's capable of. It really doesn't seem like it though sometimes; almost anything she thinks of, he's ready to try and build.

The woman watches the lizardbot skitter off and out of sight. Hopefully, it finds - and removes - anything that might potentially be a danger to the animals. She could probably withstand an explosion, but- It's the pets she's really worried about. ]

I'm not sure what I would use them for, honestly. When I did have to fight, it was usually just my own two hands or, like, daggers. [ She was small and quick, which made getting in close with short-range blades easier. ]

[tinflower]

We don't get into a lot of fighting. [ So there's not much use for grenades, unless you think they're cool. ...which Gorgug does. ] I could show you how to throw them if you ever-- if you think you would use smoke grenades? They're good if you just want to get away, or throw someone off. But it's okay, if you don't want to.

[ Sometimes, you don't care about things! Except about grenades not blowing up your new pad. ]

I'm a close-range fighter too, so grenades are good for--making distance.

[ He mimics throwing one, without much swing to it. ]
