PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
(a) penny for your thoughts. SAID WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS THINKING, USUALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE. (cambridge dictionary)

YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN SILENCE FOR SOME TIME AND NOW YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR COMPANION'S MIND, SO YOU FLASH YOUR RICHES AND OFFER a penny for your thoughts, GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU AND HAVE A LITTLE HEART-TO-HEART.


How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preferences.
2. Others offer your character a penny for their thoughts to start the conversation off.
3. Your character tells them what they're thinking of, note that lying's allowed. You take it from there.
4. Be serious, be light-hearted, be cracky. Just have fun!

[[Interesting. Has he met humanoid androids before? Hope this is okay!]]

[This android keeps his katana hovered behind his back as he flicks the penny towards the ground near the unfamiliar machine. His tactical unit support hovers closeby, silently scanning the unknown mechanical life form.]

Penny for your time?

[Not only would 9S be interested to know his thoughts. Much more than that would suffice, for he doesn't at all look like any of the alien machines that androids of YoRHa and the resistance have been at war with.]

9S and Pod 153 | NieR:Automata | OTA in genral

[scannerdroid]

[[Let me know if you're fine with tagging both or just one of them. The pair are inseparable, but I could have a scenario in which the pod robot temporarily powers herself down. Pod 153 doesn't speak unless she deems it necessary to do so. A bit about the both of them is mentioned in the account profile page.]]

[dontpetmeibite]

Hmmm? My time? How much of it?

[Ravage looks up at him, confused. At the moment, Ravage looks rather like an oversized mechanical jaguar.]

You look like a human, but you don't smell like one. What's up with that?

[He glances at the penny with a little more confusion. It looks like ...American money, but not very much? Then he notices the other individual and nods a greeting.]

I take it you two are friends?

[He's talked to some DBH people in memes and another player and I ended up with a running sort of quasi-storyline about the 'cons taking over DBH Earth, so yes, but he doesn't expect to meet humanoid androids outside of that 'verse.]
[Also I just saw your post and realised there are 2 of you. Does that mean it's OK if Soundwave--Rav's partner--shows up at some point?]

[So, this machine knows of humans? He'll hold on asking about that for now. Knowing about this animal shaped machine is more of a priority. His approach is calm, yet guarded.]

Enough to suffice my curiosity, at least. I'm not a human, but an android. YoRHa unit 9S. I was created in their image... Scanning and learning about unknown machines is part of what I was built for.

[The hovering individual beside this android is a rectangular looking robot with short metallic arms and claw-like fingers in front, speaking in a female voice as it finishes the full-body scan on Ravage.] Analysis: Cat-like machine unit unknown. Network records not found.

[9S nods. He figured as much, as he introduces his assigned pod.] That's Pod 153, my tactical support and backup.

You are...?

[So far, there seems to be no hostility, but his Cruel Oath blade isn't about to dissipate and vanish just yet.]


[[Sounds like quite the storyline. :)

There's two group factions of androids and the various alien machines from the original universe 9S and 153 came from. As an interesting twist, two androids came from some aggressive machines! There are multiple endings in 9S and 153's canon. I'll find out which one I get sometime soon.

Sure! Soundwave may show up if you'd like! And I don't mind the multiple edits.]]

[So maybe he's been a little oddly quiet over his meal, yes...but being called out on it quite this directly is still rare enough to be a bit of a surprise. Too bad said surprise is visible only in a couple of blinks, over the slight frown he's inadvertently settled into in the last few minutes--before the question registers, and his countenance easily shifts into a jarringly cheery smile.]

Oh, nothing terribly important. I was just thinking, you know...about how there are many poisons in the world that can't be detected by taste or smell. And how very unfortunate it'd be, if you were eating something poisoned right this very moment! What would you do, if you suddenly realized this?

[No, this was not what he was thinking about, but now you'll have to think about it instead--]

[dontpetmeibite]

Ravage of Stanix, Voice of Destron.

[Ravage stretches leisurely. He is not the least bit hostile today. He is a tourist, and he has been sitting around watching people because it amuses him to do that. This planet is not a Decepticon target, because it's not in the right universe for that.]

I'm...not from around here. My conjunx--Soundwave--and I have been so busy that we've been travelling interdimensionally through the Nexus just to get some free time, because if you manage your portals just so, you can be away for quite a while before anyone else notices that you've left.

I've met androids before, but not here.

[Ravage frowns.]

Do the humans treat you both well, like the people you are? I've found that often when humans make mechanical life forms, they don't treat them terribly well.

((OOC: mostly, 'pure unfiltered Decepticon' is a warning to the effect that you can expect him to say things that may horrify many humans and quite a few other types of beings without really thinking anything of it, because his life experience has included a great many awful things. IDW Transformers is a pretty dark universe and this guy has been known to sit in Lord Megatron's lap while Lord Megatron channels his inner Bond villain.))

[scannerdroid]

[As far as 9S would be aware of, sitting and watching isn't harmful. However, it's not like he was built for much of a leisure. He gets only a little time off. The Commander of YoRHa is someone he frequently refers to as a slave driver.

9S head tilts in interest on this.]

We're not from around here either. Is that what this place is called? The Nexus?

[153 promptly adds;] Acknowledged. Map updated.

It's good to know though. If I find the partner I got separated from, I could maybe show her this place. [He'd definitely like to see 2B's reaction. What would she think of it, he briefly ponders.]

[As for the subject on humans, he shrugs.] I never met one in my universe. My missions there take priority over finding the colony and council on the moon base. It's too dangerous for humans to come back, until the machine threat is eliminated.

The humans I've met so far around here have been interesting to meet to say the least. [A wistful smile begins to show on his lips. 9S can't help it. Humans and their customs fascinate him.] And they treat me well, so no need to worry about that.

What about yourself? Do you get along with humans? [From here, he'll know when to deduce you as a friendly or not... So far, the friendliest machine he knows is a leader of pacifistic ones.]


[[I see! Gotcha. So, Ravage is Megatron's lapcat? Cool. :D I've liked some other Transformers shows, and there's still too much for me overall to watch/rewatch.

NieR:Automata, this game has a post-apocalyptic atmosphere of a story. It gets intense and dark in places, and tragic in other places. Cultist robots were slaying each other and destroying themselves to "become as gods." 9S helped his friends 2B and Pascal escape. Unfortunately, the pacifist bots of the religion group were left behind. I doubt they'll stay safe.]]
