Entry # 004 [Video]

[Honestly, a text post would've sufficed enough, but perhaps for the context of this post, a video might be a bit more beneficial. So you get a blue robot staring at the screen pensively.]

Ah, greetings, Wonderland, this is Turing. I'm here to inquire about something...

I have noticed that some of the past events I have experienced throughout my time here has had some element of combat thrown into the mix, so to speak. Not all of them mind you, just some. Just this past event, you all saw it, all of those ogres, ice giants and dark elves storming into the mansion, and you must have also saw a multitude of the guests here fighting back. I, unfortunately, was unable to lend a hand in that time of crisis, solely because I have had no combat experience myself.

I may be sapient, but I am still a ROM, or I suppose a robot in layman's terms. I don't specifically exist to assist, but there's still a voice in the back of my mind urging me to help out however possible. If, in Wonderland, this means that I must become skilled in some weaponry or combat techniques, then so be it.

So, I'm posting this video as a call for suggestions and help: I am interested in learning how to properly defend myself and protect others while I am here in Wonderland. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Getting into specifics...I'd like to be skilled in ranged weaponry, say, a laser pistol, for example. My partner, Alys, was given a laser pistol to use in case of emergencies back where I come from, and they were able to use it with relative ease.

I will take any and all suggestions into account. Thank you for your time.

I know, right? There's people here from all kinds of time periods. We've got everything from swords to laser swords. How rad is that?

[Sometimes she does like this place.]

Hey, nice! You know, maybe that's not a bad idea, though. I was on softball team in high school and it was fun for--for awhile.

Agreed! It would be a waste if we didn't take advantage of our resources and fellow guests to learn more information about where they come from, as well as what kinds of weaponry they use.

[Plus, that means that Turing has more information to store in their database!]

Oh, softball! I've never played it before, but I've read up on the basic rules of the game while going through my initial search on the mesh after my creation. Who knew that hitting a ball with a bat would be so addicting? What would you say is your favorite part of the sport when you were still playing it?

Dude, if you had enough time and like, diligence or whatever, you could become a total weapon master. Like a freaking ninja or something. Just a total powerhouse. Your life would basically be a nonstop action movie and there's be literally no event that could put a stop to you. Oh my god.

[SHE IS GOING TO BECOME A WEAPONS DEMON, SO HELP HER.]

It's pretty much exactly like baseball except with like--some differences. Also my favorite part of the sport was definitely just like, hitting balls.

A weapon master, huh...

[A mental image of Mae wielding all sorts of weapons and doing parkour off of the mansion appears in their head. She does have a point there. If you were to become skilled at weaponry and self defense, then events shouldn't be a problem at all! At least, the ones where a copious amount of fighting is involved.]

I think I see where you're going with this! Well, then, I believe that if you put in the effort and seek out assistance from those that are experts in their craft, then I believe you'll become a weapon master! Truthfully, I just want to see if I can defend and protect with a ranged weapon, although if the situation calls for it...then I suppose I too will try and become a weapons master.

[They grin sheepishly.]

Haha, well, I'd say you picked out an excellent sport then! I suppose you can also get the same sort of satisfaction with tennis or...well, pretty much any other sport that has to do with a ball, but I would assume there's nothing more satisfying than that cracking sound of a ball hitting the bat at top speed.

[Mae wielding like twelve weapons and doing Parkour is exactly what she's envisioning as well.]

I've gotta track down everyone here who knows about weapons. I'm gonna do it. Holy shit.

[She grins.]

Yeah, tennis definitely isn't the same. I don't think there's any sports where you have to intentionally destroy things, but I'd probably be good at it.
