Hey. This is Dante. You've probably seen me around base, even if we haven't actually talked (trust me).

Since we've just had some new people arrive, I figured now would be as good a time as any to put this out there. I'm not sure if anyone would be interested, but one of my duties back home was to have one-to-one consultation sessions with the employees in our department (still is, technically). It's nothing too earth-shattering, just checking in and helping work through anything anyone needs to get off their shoulders, but I thought I'd offer since it seems to help us out and I know things here can get rough sometimes.

Oh, and there's no pressure to reply here if you'd rather have privacy. I've also got a sign-up sheet on my door (Revelation, room 006), if you'd rather set something up that way. Just make sure to show up at the time you pick.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[So they'll be popular with a proper time-telling clock with a head because their head will be able to tell time.

< That's.... one way to look at it. >

[He's trying, they remind themself. He's got a lot on his mind.]

< I'll, um, keep it in mind as a possibility. But right now I think I'll keep my head as-is. Don't want to mess with anything that shouldn't be messed with in here, you know? Better safe than sorry. >

[Taryon tries, and half of the time he misses the mark. And this is a moment where an idea that sounds cool in his head does not make sense in the wider world.]

Right, right. [Taryon isn't so skilled as to rewire a prosthetic head, and he's certain failure could lead to death.] Just an idea, in case the opportunity ever arises, hah. But it looks great as it does now.

[Nervously, he grins.]

Although if you're ever interested in some magical upgrades, I'm still offering.

[They shouldn't ask. And yet, as ever, they cannot deny their endless curiosity.]

< I'm not agreeing to this right away... >

[Best to make sure he knows that right off the bat.]

< But... What kind of upgrades? And what would be involved? >

Making it stronger? Add a spell so that in case of an emergency, you can fight off monsters by activating it! Oh, and if I get some scales, I could add some protection against the elements. Maybe fire? Ice? Whichever you think is more useful.

[And yet, Taryon continues to assume that Dante will agree eventually.]

It'd take a few hours every day for me to make it permanent. I'll just infuse a bit of magic, maybe add some components to you surface, and viola! [He holds his hands out towards Dante's head as if presenting something already completed.] You have more powers.
