2nd Bite [Video]

Sam human, I have located two of the data p- books, on your list of wishes.

[He opens his palm revealing a worn copy of The Diary of Anne Frank and a newer looking copy of The Colour Purple. He has since stopped damaging his drone, so the picture is clear again.]

Also, this is to let everyone know I'm moving into the warehouse. Everything in there is mine now. Take anything and I will know.

[If he ever finishes doing inventory, which might take him years at this rate.]

[Hello, Dirge, have a ghost lookin' cat thing.]

My, my, what a place to claim. How did the warehouse staff take to this claim, I wonder.

[The wispy quality to this organic(?) intrigues him. Is his drone just glitching again or was it really not entirely solid in its constitution?]

Yes, it was a rather brilliant move on my part. [Instead of trying to haul everything out of there to somewhere else.]

[He waves a hand.] They don't bother me. The drones are actually quite helpful.

Not all Warehouse staff are drones. I take it none of the living variety have protested yet?

No. I can be very persuasive. [So far none of the volunteers have been quite big enough to take on a Dirge in full possessive mode. They have, however, found ways of distracting him when people come in to take things.]

What are you?

Mm-hmmm. [She seems amused]

I am a Tej Abri and one of the Guardians here. My name is Sirrah. And you are known as Dirge?

Guardians? Then you are very powerful? [He doesn't know what a Tej Abri is, but you are now labeled with those words in his processor.]

Yes, but- how did you know? Is that a power of yours?

Mmm. You could say that.

Oh yes. I know many things. Names are easy to know.

[A sharp hunger twinkles in his optics at that answer.]

Ah, I thought so. You should be mine then. Ehr, my friend. That is.

And that is true. [He taps his chin with a talon] Names are important information that is often just given away for free.

[Her glowing red eyes flash a little brighter, a smile on her face, it's not exactly a friendly smile....more like wickedly curious.] Oh, and what would you do with me if I were yours?

[No one has ever bothered to ask him that before! He looks positively elated to answer that question.]

Use you to gain my own power, of course. Power is a valuable acquisition on its own, but it also allows for ease of more acquisition, you see.
