[Have a robotic Taiitsu. He's black and white, quite shiny, and could not possibly be happier.]

What a fascinating place this is! I didn't think I was going to like it here...not with everything that happened after I arrived. It was pretty scary...I didn't leave my apartment at all for awhile. But this?

[Holds his recently acquired set of glossy white robo-hands up to the camera by way of a demonstration.]

This is spectacular!

I've been running some tests on my systems [Barely surpressed squee at the notion of himself having systems] for the past few days, and let me tell you, they are top-notch! With a little more time, I bet I could create some really excellent modifications. But it seems like most people think this is a temporary state? That we'll turn back eventually?

[Little sigh] Too bad.

Anyway, I've been so distracted with this whole being a robot thing that I completely forgot to post the results of my other project! Since I've been spending so much time in the MAC, when it was too dangerous to go outside, I've had time to take a good long look at that surveillance system everyone's been complaining about. And I asked myself, who in the world would want to go through so much trouble to keep an eye on us? Where is this footage being sent to, anyway? So I rigged something up to track the signal, and guess what I found out?

Well? Can you guess?

[Brief pause]

Ah, I've kept you in suspense long enough. The answer to the question of who's watching the MAC is this: no one is! The cameras are still transmitting, but there's no active receiver. So the transmissions are just sort of floating around the airwaves without ever being picked up and viewed. Unless it's cutting in on people's satellite television in the building next door or something, but that's a whole different problem.

Now I know quite a few people have had concerns about living in the MAC because of this issue, so let me assure you that these cameras are completely harmless. Nonetheless, I'll be happy to locate and remove them for anyone who asks me to.

[Smiles brightly for the camera]

Any questions?

((OOC note: This post is fully mod-approved and marks the effective end of surveillance cameras inside the MAC apartments.))

Ever want to beat the living hell out of something? Just... I don't know, just take something or someone and wail on them until you make them just as miserable as they made you? You thought about it, but you knew better? Or at least, you're supposed to, anyway?

Well, you know what?

The powers make it tempting.

Really, really tempting.

[Deeeeeeeep sigh. He's had a bad couple of days, even being here so long he's still coming to terms with the fact he's stuck here and he can't do anything about it. And the bad days. And thinking about the situation back home. Kinda adds to that. TL;DR bitch bitch bitch.]

That's my deep, dark thought of the night. [With the right amount of sarcasm.]

I'm going to bed.
