Hello, world!

[Oh, who's this guy?? Surely not someone any of you have met before!! JK, there's his username, slapped on the post like it always is. But this guy's a human!! Surely there's an explanation for this!!]

This is Zenyatta. If we have met before, then you might notice I am looking very different! If we have not, I do not typically look like this. I am typically an omnic- or as you might better know, a robot.

For the most recent mission, we have the assignment of "blending in" with the population. I thought this could be an opportunity for me to learn what it would be like to live as a human.

That is also where I could use some assistance. I am still becoming accustomed to human lifestyle, but there are many things that are new to me. For example, I have noticed there are certain rules about clothing most humans follow, but it was not exactly something I thought too much about as an omnic. I typically did not wear shirts, but it seems that this might be more of a necessity, as a human?

[As are socks. Shoes. Underwear.]

Another question I have- how do humans know when they are allergic to things? How do I run some sort of diagnosis to ascertain what I should avoid?

I am sure there are much more I have yet to discover, but some guidance would be appreciated.

That's pretty easy to obtain. Do you wanna try it now or on the mission itself?

[iomnic]

I am to remain like this for a short while, before I can attempt to change back. So, now would be as good a time as any.

[secondnature]

Right.

[That makes sense. Plus, Keith doesn't even want to ask where the pizza will go if he changes back right after eating it.

... Though he, unfortunately, does think it.]

Is now a good time, or are you trying too much food at the moment?

[iomnic]

[ Keith, please.]

I have not had anything to eat in several hours... that is the normal time span, yes?

[secondnature]

Normally, yeah. Unless you get too caught up in doing something and forget.

You don't feel too much pain, do you?

[iomnic]

I am not in pain right now, but it is a thing I can feel?

[secondnature]

If you're hungry? Yeah. It really happens if you've gone too many hours without food.

[iomnic]

This is... normal? Eating this much? It was only three hours ago?

[secondnature]

It depends on who you are. But yeah ... I only have a few hours between breakfast and lunch most of the time. Usually it's a lot longer for dinner.

[iomnic]

But if you are supposed to eat when you are hungry, then what is the purpose of set eating times? Should you not just eat when you feel like it?

[secondnature]

[You're blowing his mind here, Zenyatta.]

I don't know. To tell you the truth, it's just what I've always known. I bet there's a reason for it ... I just haven't thought about it much.

[iomnic]

Then let us break traditional meal times and have pizza.

[secondnature]

Sounds good.

I'll meet you in the kitchen.

[iomnic]

[THEN, IN THE KITCHEN...

Zenyatta's there, still wearing his typical clothes (aka just horrible yellow pants), but lacking the floating.]

Hello, Keith!

[secondnature]

... Is it weird to actually use your legs? [Look, Keith would also be frustrated by Zenyatta's extremely unnecessary slow floating if he was Zenyatta.

Only, you know, he doesn't really rate his slowness.]

[iomnic]

I can always use my legs. I just usually choose not to. My leg joints have not been inspected in a decade, and so I find it more reliable to simply float.

That said, it is a little weird to use them so frequently. But I can also jump up stairs two at at a time now.

[ yeah he's doing dumb shit like that, sorry he's still a child. ]

[secondnature]

Heh ... I guess I just like to move faster. You can see the appeal in that, right? [Though it doesn't surprise Keith that Zenyatta is too patient to really care about getting anywhere quickly.]

But you should see if you can take three at a time. It takes some balancing, but it's fun. [It might also cause cramps.]

[iomnic]

Move too quickly, and you overlook much.

[ everythings an opportunity to lecture apparently. ]

Three? I will have to try it. Along with... whatever it is we were trying here?

[secondnature]

Pizza. Though I can't guarantee it'll be anything like it was at home. Sometimes the kitchen here is a bit ... strange.

[Keith absorbs the lesson otherwise. It's similar to what Shiro's told him before. Going slow means he can focus on stuff. He just ... has difficulty making it a rule unless something drives him to do just that.]
