[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
Well, I believe you can change the look of your assistant if you find yourself uncertain... ah, and you can look at mine if you're in need of inspiration!
[CLAPS! HANDSIES! Just for effect bc they control the assistants telepathically but what's the POINT if you're not extra about it. And after a few moments the door opens and Levity's ROBOBIRD trots in! It's a robot bird, mostly in white and silver with cyan accents, somehow corvid-looking despite being, well, a robot.]
This is Corvus. I've upgraded him with various functions over time... The advice I received on arrival was to choose an assistant big enough to carry me, and perhaps make it a flying one. I'd say it's been very good advice, especially after the harsher games.
[bird!! bird tips its head down, you can pet if you like?]
I suppose the matters of practicality are the obvious things to consider when it comes to choosing an assistant. But you can also simply follow what your heart tells you.
[He laughs, happily! Bird meanwhile makes a roboty beep, but a Pleased one. yes pet bird]
Much like myself, really! I was having trouble choosing something, too. And when asked about it, I said that I like too many things to choose any particular one. I was told to choose anything then, but... doesn't it still make you want to choose something that will feel right to you? Something meaningful, perhaps, even if the meaning is really small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things?
Why not something to symbolize your love for our people? Or... as the Emissary, your devotion to harmony? Of course, it's not that your duty needs to define all of your life. I've chosen a bird for my assistant based on a memory I took, and then picked a particular species based on their character. Corvids are intelligent and playful - something of a reflection of myself, in a sense. But if you do not remember who you were, or don't feel ready to remember... you can start with who you are right now.
[AND THE MOST NOT ENTIRELY USELESS AWARD OF THE YEAR GOES TOOOOOOOOO]
I'm glad! And like I said, you can change the way your assistant looks if you change your mind. If you'd like, we can visit the zoo, so you could take inspiration from actual flora and fauna? Although, of course, it's not that you need to do so. Your assistant can be quite humanoid.

Date: 2021-12-16 12:01 am (UTC)Levity IS very happy about it thank u. Let's just, try to focus on good things for a bit before everything inevitably goes to shit.]
I'm glad you like it! I'm no professional, of course, but it's still nice to record moments like these.
[And speaking of recording,]
Oh, I've actually got some pictures of Emet-Selch, too.
[Scroll scroll scroll through gallery - ah yes, here we go. Please enjoy pictures of Emet wearing the fin sheep kigurumi pajamas]
