Data Recording 011: ::running sound file retro_mission_impossible_theme.mp375::

Action | All over town

[It's a wonderful Spring day, the snow is gone, and it is the perfect conditions for Tachikoma to put one of its recent regains through its paces.

Most days Tachikoma runs around town, looking around and seeing the sights, but today is something different. Different as in that most people can't see Tachikoma as it does it.

Tachikoma has engaged its Thermoptic Camouflage and is now practicing its stealth tracking abilities. This means that not only is it practically invisible as it moves around, but it will occasionally pick someone as its target and follow them for awhile, trying to remain undetected.

So if you have a shiver run down your back, or get the feeling there's someone watching you... Well, you might just be paranoid, but it also might be because there is an invisible spider robot following you. What do you do?]

((OOC note: Thermoptic camouflage, as the name suggests, cloaks the user from temperature and optical sensors, whether mundane human or of the technological kind. However, those with magical sensors or enhance smell may be able to sense/see Tachikoma, as well as those with non-technological enhance eyesight might be able to notice the slight distortion of light it causes. And of course, that doesn't make it intangible, if Tachikoma isn't careful, it could bump into someone, or someone bump into it.))

Phone | After Tachikoma has finished the stealth training

Does anybody have some large monitors or displays? Preferably that can handle an IEC 76610-5-203 standard connector? If not, maybe someone can help me make an adapter for the more standard video and audio equipment people have? It would be nice to be able to share everything I've recorded with others without having to drag them to my recharge station or my pod...

[there's that feeling of being followed... she hopes it's paparazzi. or a fan. haaah.]

... Helloooo?
rankaloid: (happens all the time)

[personal profile] rankaloid 2012-03-26 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[TOTALLY MUST BE PAPARAZZI. she continues walking down the street, trying to act as natural as possible.

which is, to say, not very natural.]
rankaloid: (it's so tiny and adorable)

[yessss come closer paparazzi, get shots of her at her good angles]
rankaloid: (it's so tiny and adorable)

[personal profile] rankaloid 2012-03-26 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[yyyyep, she's pretty much hamming it up now. so much for acting natural.]
rankaloid: (............. I'm not rankaloid.)

(Well now, you've found yourself quite the interesting person! Chen here is a cat girl, but get this: she can fly, just like she is right now! She also has two tails and hasn't noticed you yet. She's kind of busy enjoying her ice cream cone.)
spinningorange: (Curiosity)

[personal profile] spinningorange 2012-03-26 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
(No wings, no strings or those sort of things; it's just magic!

Though her ears twitch a little and she stops. Kitty senses say there's something nearby, but because she's a child, they aren't too trustworthy. She'll turn around, but won't see anything...

...BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Her ice cream is melting! She's getting right to fixing that up, but even she can't stop a couple of drops from dripping. Will Tachikoma notice this and not get ice cream on him?
)
spinningorange: (But whyyyyyyyy?)

[personal profile] spinningorange 2012-03-26 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
(Too late! Chen noticed the floating spots of ice cream!

But at least she's not freaking out! Instead, she's just staring at it closely. Staring...staring...now she's going to poke it!
)
spinningorange: (Ack!)

Tee hee~

[personal profile] spinningorange 2012-03-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
(Sadly, Chen doesn't know any of the laws of motion, but she knows she shouldn't feel anything if she's just poking the air! There's a surprised gasp as she reaches some sort of conclusion.)

A ghost has possessed my ice cream! I ate someone's soul and now they're angry with me!

(A deep breath.)

LADY YUYUKOOOOOOOOO! I ANGERED A SPIRIT AND IT WANTS REVENGE!

[For some reason, he can't help but keep shooting glances behind him. It's almost like there's a SPY following him around...

Frowning, he starts punching the air behind him. That should fish out any dang Frenchies!

hardhat_truckie: (errr...)

[personal profile] hardhat_truckie 2012-03-26 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Engie, unfortunately, isn't aiming for the jaw, but for any part of the Spy's body just so that he can break the cloak. There's a loud metallic clang as his fist connects with Tachikoma. Metal ringing against metal, he jumps back and rubs the gloved hand.]

Jesus Mary Joseph! What in Sam Hill-!?
hardhat_truckie: (talking)

[personal profile] hardhat_truckie 2012-03-28 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Dangnabit--!! Tatch, that you?

[He sighs and grips his hand. Great, it seems broken; looks like he'll have to fix it.]

S'alright. I was the one who was jumpy like a jackrabbit. Gotta learn ta stop bein' sucha paranoid fool. Why're ya practising ta be stealthy though?

[Hayate isn't certain but she thinks something's following her. She's not entirely sure what though.]
lil_tanuki: (sneaky)

Re: Action

[personal profile] lil_tanuki 2012-03-26 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is like a mercifully cut scene from some crossover fanfiction, and yet Hayate was now turning around to try and find Tachikoma.]

Hmm... I wonder...?
lil_tanuki: (giggling)

Re: Action

[personal profile] lil_tanuki 2012-03-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? [There was that feeling again and Hayate turned around. Seeing no one there, she rubbed her chin.]

Okay, who's following me?

[Makoto is getting that odd feeling that she's being watched, and she kind of hates that feeling. It doesn't help that she doesn't feel completely at home in Mayfield, so she might be acting a little paranoid right now. Shooting glances left and right is what she's up to right now.]

C'mon, Makoto... just calm down. [Also trying to clam herself down by talking to herself. That's a thing.]
underboobs: (portrait; what!?)

Action

[personal profile] underboobs 2012-03-28 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so maybe her slight paranoia wasn't actually paranoia. Good to know. But that just makes Makoto freak a bit and try to find the source of the voice without much luck.]

Whoa, whoa! Who just said that!?
jumpsuited_rat: (Ready to begin testing.)

[personal profile] jumpsuited_rat 2012-03-26 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chell's used to being watched constantly, so she's currently unaware that she's being followed as she walks down the street.]
jumpsuited_rat: (I'm listening.)

[personal profile] jumpsuited_rat 2012-03-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Chell's not doing anything too interesting today. She's still searching for a way out, so she stops to investigate things every now and then. She has a notebook and pen, so she's taking notes herself.]

[There's that feeling again.... Emmett eyes around, wondering if ] Twilight?
onepointtwentyonewatts: (What was that?)

action

[personal profile] onepointtwentyonewatts 2012-03-28 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Emmett was sure someone or rather something was here and that voice was very familiar]

Yes... Have you met Twilight before?

[Looking for you. Strange he doesn't see you but he heard you. Listening, listening before Emmett attempts to move again]

[Naal is just walking her spider when she starts to get that watched feeling... unfortunately her comparatively wide-spectrum vision isn't going to help her against thermal camouflage.

Still, she just can't shake that feeling, so she starts heading for a more open area. The park!]
mayitlastforeve: (beyond exhaustion)

[personal profile] mayitlastforeve 2012-03-27 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[It turns out it mostly consists of letting it chase squirrels. Not all of which get away. But as near as she can tell the things are like the tikitikis of the trees, no one will miss a few.

But she is keeping a CAREFUL EYE OUT. Best not flatten any grass, Tachikoma, or you might be found out!]
