I can. It's like a robot puppet. It runs on my cursed energy and I can see through them and talk through them. It's my technique. They can take pretty much any form I want them to, as long as they're mechanical.

[ He hums. ] I have a huge mech I walk around in sometimes when I'm too tired to walk, it's got some weaponry, but it hasn't come up. My usual proxy Mechamaru usually has the most weaponry. I haven't fought anything since I came here.

I can also make smaller ones. Both to show off and for spying and sending messages, which is what I did with them.

[ She has to stop. Stop, and stare with her wide-eyed expression that starts to furrow above the brow. ]

Mechamaru... all this time, you've been talking about finding things to do or not having many hobbies...

...and you're a super cool action spy!!

[ MECHAMARU!!! Sayori is flabbergasted, but also impressed, the way she's looking at him with her hands clenched in tiny fists. Maybe she shouldn't be speaking so loudly about how he's a cool action spy, but can you blame her??? ]

[ Kokichi blushes, looking a little sheepish. ]

I promise I'm not. I did...spying for bad reasons. Selfish reasons. Necessary, but I sold some people out I cared about. It's not something to be admired.

Outside of this, which is my job I guess, I don't have any hobbies.

[ She goes 'oooh' under her breath--surprised all the same, but not as dramatic as she had been. Still, this does sound like a super duper spy plot story if Sayori ever heard one...!!! ]

Hmmm, well... even if you did some bad things, it sounds like you can do good with it, too. [ But that's rather dismissive of whatever he did do, isn't it? ] Still! That's a really big job... but did it start out that way? Why did you start making them?

[ Ah- ] Because of your cursed...energy?

[ Someone here is not familiar with this concept. ]

[ She’s not wrong, and if it was bad...he had his reasons. He goes back and forth on guilt. ]

I did it because I was sick. Very sick. I was alive, but barely. My technique allowed me to contact the outside world and do some work with my skills while I could remain locked in my room.

[ It’s awkward to admit. ]

It was all I could do, pretty much.

[ Being stuck inside, but having the ability to go outside, even through a robot... ]

...still, that couldn't be easy. Especially if you were so sick--you did a lot for your situation! [ She looks at him as she says that, a small smile worn with the admiration. ] Even if it got messy, too... it sounds like a messy world that you come from. I never needed to walk around with protect. The most danger I got up to was...

[ She winces, then laughs, making a fake grimace that doesn't work when she's smiling through it. ]

...bumping into closed doors or spacing out when crossing the road!

[ She is....a klutz.... ]

[ Even though a robot. ]

It was never easy, no. It was unbearable. [ He puts his hands in his pockets, still walking with her at her pace. ] The sun would’ve burned my skin immediately. That’s why I didn’t have a window. The moon too. No one’s really that mad about what I did, but I don’t know how to feel about it.

[ If they had held him accountable maybe – but no, they’ve all let him off the hook. ]

Unfortunately for jujutsu sorcerers, messy is a nice way of putting it, but for most civilians, it’s fine. [ Kokichi smiles at her joke. ]

Yeah, I haven’t done that since I got here and got used to walking. [ A bit of light teasing. ]

Sorry about the wait, I wound up sick.
