hI, cOMMUNITY, }:D
uHH, sO HEYYY,
wE RECENTLY HAD A VIRUS IN WHICH, tHINGS BECAME VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME AND OTHER PEOPLE, pROBABLY, i GUESS,
bUT i'VE PUT ALL THAT BEHIND ME, dUE TO MY NEW FOUND SELF ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE,
aND i JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU, bECAAAAUSE,

[a video feed suddenly turns on, and Tavros' bright, fanged smile greets you; the camera pans down and whoa--]

--Look at my new legs!

[sure enough, he's got some shiny, metal robolegs, and he's happily hopping from one foot to the other to show off ...before the knee joints lock, and he falls to the floor, that is]

Uh, whoops, hehe... [unfazed, he crawls back to his feet, brushes himself off, and continues grinning] But, anyway. So now that I have this leg-powered confidence, I've been thinking about the future more positively, because that's a thing that someone who is confident would do! So even if I was afraid--which, uhh, I'm not saying that I am, because I'm definitely not--no one would know, as I would lock that fear in the back of my think pan and throw away the unlocking device, because I believe that everything will be okay. I'm believing that really, really hard, being that if I believe it hard enough, the outlook will be slightly less hopeless.

But, uhh, anyway, that's all I wanted to say because I can't concentrate very well, at the moment. I'm going to run around the lab for a while, I guess, if nobody minds, so goodbye!

You look so much more awesome now than you did when you were pushing around that ridiculous four wheeled device.
That thing was holding you 8ack!

[clapifyoubullieve]

tHANK YOU, i THINK,
aND YES, pROBABLY,
iT, uHH, DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE MADE THINGS A LOT EASIER, tO BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE GAME, fOR ONE THING,
bUT i'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO DWELL ON THINGS LIKE THAT, bECAUSE i CAN TAKE ON ANYTHING, nOW, }:D

[areyoulovers]

Oh my goodness, that's amazing! I want to take them apart and see how they work!

[clapifyoubullieve]

tHEN, uHH, i THINK YOU'D HAVE TO ASK eQUIUS TO MAKE YOU A PAIR OF YOUR OWN, iN THAT CASE,
bECAUSE, i'M NEVER GOING TO TAKE THESE OFF, eVER, }:D

[areyoulovers]

But I'd put them together exactly as they were!! I could even add enhancements!!

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Where did they come from?

[clapifyoubullieve]

eQUIUS MADE THEM,

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

He's the one who made Aradia's body, isn't he?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Good for you, Tavros! They look wonderful!

Do you want some help practicing those things? Should I get some celebratory food?

[clapifyoubullieve]

tHANKS,
i DON'T NEED HELP, aS i AM ENTIRELY SELF CONFIDENT THAT i CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, rIGHT NOW,
bUT i WOULDN'T SAY NO, tO HAVING A CHANGE OF SCENERY IN WHICH MORE PRACTICE CAN BE HAD, }:D
oH, aND FOOD MIGHT BE NICE,
tHERE ISN'T MUCH, aROUND HERE,

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Ok! Give me a time and I'll come over with some food for you!

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Those seem remarkably advanced. I would advise you to have some caution while you are still getting used to them, though.

[clapifyoubullieve]

wELL, yES, i GUESS eQUIUS DID SAY TO TAKE IT EASY, fOR A WHILE,
bUT i AM FILLED WITH SO MUCH CONFIDENCE,
yOU COULD SAY THAT i AM FILLED WITH ALL OF IT, iN FACT,
aND BEING SO CONFIDENT, tHERE ISN'T ANY NEED FOR CAUTION, bECAUSE CONFIDENT PEOPLE DO THINGS EVEN WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE DANGEROUS,
aND A CONFIDENT PERSON IS WHAT i AM, }:D

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

"Reckless" would be a more appropriate descriptor.

Be careful, Mister Nitram. You were, indeed, in dire need of self-confidence, but do try not to get carried away.

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

[clapifyoubullieve]

oH YES,
aT LEAST, tHAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, aS i WAS PREVIOUSLY NOT CONFIDENT IN MY FOUR WHEEL DEVICE,

[carryarifle.livejournal.com]

[screwloose]

Those are some pretty advanced prosthetic devices. Are you sure they're working properly?

I'm a doctor, maybe I could help.

[clapifyoubullieve]

uHH, yEAH, i JUST NEED TO GET MORE USED TO THEM, pROBABLY,
aND i'M CONFIDENT THAT i WILL, }:D
bUT, tHANK YOU ANYWAY,

[screwloose]

Wow, you're pretty confident.

But seriously, can I take a look?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[clapifyoubullieve]

yEAH,
aLTHOUGH, uHH, i GUESS IT'S STILL KIND OF SHOCKING, tHINKING ABOUT HOW i GOT THESE LEGS,
bUT THE GOOD FEELINGS SORT OF DROWN THAT OUT, bASICALLY,

tHANK YOU, kANAYA,
