[ Chris shakes the hand, though she feels a little awkward to do so. ]

Doctor, huh? Does that mean you built those? [ She indicates the arms, though that was probably immediately obvious. ] Nine months, though? Huh. Out of curiosity do you know that dum-err, do you know Gungnir?

[doctopoda]

I did. [Gungnir...that takes him a second to place, then he nods.] Ah - yes, she's the one who sings when she fights, isn't she?

[It was definitely notable!]

We fought a giant robot together in August. I have to admit, it was mostly her. Very impressive.

[trustheart]

That's right. She and I are from the same world.

[ Her eyes widen, though, at what he said. ]

A giant robot? Like from an anime or something?!

[ To be fair, giant mecha haven't been on the list of things that Symphogear's fantasy kitchen sink has thrown at her. ]

[doctopoda]

[Otto raises his eyebrows. Chris, what about this man makes him seem like an anime guy?]

It was like a Transformer. They're still fixing the buildings - back in Excelsior, not here.

[trustheart]

[ Chris nods. So exactly like what she said. ]

Wait, was that what damaged everything and made everyone so mad at metas?

[doctopoda]

That was part of it. We had a robot uprising, a lot of people fell into interdimensional cracks. The universe nearly fell apart. It wasn't anything we did - more like an extension of the problem that brought us here.

[So it's not really logical that people blame them for it...but, you know, that's also how that kind of thing always goes.]

[trustheart]

[ Okay what. ]

Okay, nobody told me about all that! What the fuck?! It's not gonna happen again, is it?!

[doctopoda]

I can't promise anything, but hopefully not. Where I'm from, apocalypses don't come around all that often.

[trustheart]

...I wish I could say the same, but I can't.

[ More like came up just short of nuclear Armageddon. ]

Though, uh. Thanks for telling me, honestly. I have a bone to pick with my friend who got here before I did now, but all the same...

[doctopoda]

[Yikes!]

I'll tell you this, she handled the giant robot remarkably well. As if it were a daily thing.
