[Well. Maya had gotten settled, such as it was. She had found a place to live for the time being. But so far not really doing much of anything was driving her up one wall and back down the other. So, it was clearly time to change that.

The screen flashed on. She at least had figured out how to access the network. Though it had taken many questions (sometimes asked more than once!) of her long suffering robot buddy, Helper.]

Hi! For those of you who don't know, I am Maya! I know there are a lot of people and robots and stuff I probably haven't met yet!

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone needed a lawyer around here? Or a spirit medium/ghost talker type person? Don't think it's weird that I'm mentioning the two of those things in close proximity. You'd be surprised at how often the two intersect!

[Robots could get into trouble, right? Besides, there were human people around. Besides... Maya didn't want to know know about the existence of robot ghosts, thanks. Though she had a feeling she might find out before she got to go home.]

I can talk to ghosts!

[At the big robot man's question, Maya frowns a little.]

I can do exorcisms, if that's what you're asking. Are you being haunted by a ghost?

[Great. Robot ghosts. This could be tricky. Where did robots even go when they died? That was the real question.]

...Not at the moment. But possibly in the future.

What about curses? Can you remove those?

[Humans were a lot more powerful here than any he had encountered back in his own universe, it seemed.]

[At that question, Maya looks at the large robot man with a very sideways look.]

I can remove curses. But if you're doing something that involves angry ghosts and getting curses flung your way, I'm not sure I should be talking to you, let alone helping you.

Not to mention, I don't even know your name.

[One thing she had learned very young - if a person brought a haunting or a curse upon themselves, sometimes it was just better to leave well enough alone. This might be one of those sometimes.]

I haven't! [Not yet, anyway. He wasn't sure he would have to resort to that anyhow.]

What's my name got to do with it? Give me yours first!

[Nope. No dice, sir. Maya didn't trust you as far as she could throw you.]

I introduced myself when I first came onto the network, thank you. I think you need to listen a little better.

And if you haven't gotten mixed up in curses and being haunted by ghosts, then why are you asking about help getting rid of them?

[She hmphed and stood on her toes to make herself seem a little taller, which at 5'1" probably wasn't going to do much to make her that imposing to a giant robot. But it made her feel a little better at least.]

Oh.

[He really does- he was only paying attention to what he cared about, after all.]

Just in case. And I wanted to know how valuable you were before making you my friend.

[She seems to be...puffing up just a little? Could she change her size too?]

[Maya just rolled her eyes at Dirge.]

You have strange criteria for friendship. I don't think I want to be your friend. And you can look for exorcising and curse breaking services elsewhere.

[She huffed a little, before cutting the transmission. She was probably a little more puffed up towards the end. Though she couldn't change her size. More the pity.]
