[u]The stranger freezes again, as if it takes effort to process what you said.[/u] No matter how little the purpose, a purpose is still a purpose. Once my main weapon is repaired, we can fight in a test of combat. I came to this Dojo seeking a purpose, and I may have finally found it. [u]The stranger tilts his head upward, in the process causing his hood to slide off. You see that they not organic, but in fact a modified clockwork automaton. Their head has a strange shape to it, thicker at the bottom, but slowly get thiner until it peaks at the back of the cranium. The front part of the head is clear, almost invisible to all but the most meticulous observer. Underneath it is a mess of gears and springs that spin and whir with every movement. The back part of their head has a silver chrome color to it, reflecting images almost perfectly.[/u]

[b]Maybe eventually. But today is a day for relaxation. Im glad I could provide you with a drink and company[/b]

[u]The automaton looks back at you. You can tell even without him having a face that he is quite pleasant[/u] This was quite enjoyable. Thank you for keeping me company and for providing me with a drink. I may not need to consume sustenance to live, but it is certainly enjoyable. One other thing, I do believe I should give myself a name if I am to remain here. Could you provide assistance? [u]The automaton looks down in thought. [/u]

[b]Well... I've never done this before... But.. How about we start with what letter you'd like the name to begin with?[/b]

[u]The automaton angles its head slightly downward, lost in thought [/u] Maybe something with a C or a B. Naming isn't exactly the purpose I was built for.

[b]C or B huh?[/b] *Maya crunches up her nose and forehead in thought* [b]About Cylon? Or Balthazar?[/b]

[u]The automaton brings their hand up to their chin and looks contemplates the two names[/u] Balthazar. What a noble name, with such an elegant pronunciation. Yes, that will be my name. Maybe this will help in my quest to find the purpose behind why I fight. At least I shall have a name to be recorded in the records. Thank you Maya, you have helped do what I couldn't. Thank you for the tea also, I couldn't taste it, but I'm sure it tasted wonderful. Now if you'll excuse me, my time of nonviolence is over. I must continue pursuing my purpose. I may have no weapon, but I'm sure I can find somebody to have fisticuffs with. [u]The newly renamed Balthazar stands up from where he was sitting. You see a wet stain down the front of his overcoat, presumably the tea he "drank". [/u]
