She went to put her hand out, but then hesitated, then put it flat against his. Clearly she had never given a hand shake before.
"Penny!"
Now she was a bit more optimistic, a bit of a grin on her face.

[b]He chuckles, and shakes her hand, even if she didn’t know what he was doing. He looks at her for a second, deciding carefully what words he would say. She didn’t know what a handshake was, so she was one of three things. A: Mentally disabled. B: Raised very poorly. Or C: She was recently put into existence. He bet it was the last one, would explain the unfinished arm.[/b] “See what I’m doing there? That’s called a handshake. It’s polite to do when somebody puts their hand out like that. It’s a greeting. But it’s nice to meet you, Penny. Got a last name, or just the first?”
-
She looked a bit quizzical, but absorbed the information nonetheless. "Nope, just Penny." Once he finished, she looked at her hand, then shrugged, putting her attention back to him.
-
“Well... You new around here, Penny? I am. Literally just showed up to kill that guy you saw me kill, but I might stick around for a while, pick up some more work. I have a feeling it’ll be a fun time, just from what I’ve heard about his place. And the fact that people here are wanted by tons of people sometimes. And I’m just a sucker for getting some extra cash.”
-
"No, never been here before. I follow another around, which is how I got here. Just kinda explore every now and then. Which is how I watched you... kill, that guy...." She trailed off then, and shivered.
-
“Damn. And here I was hoping I struck gold and found someone who could help me navigate and talk to a murderer. Well, nothing to be done now. Guy’s dead. If it’s any consolation, he was possibly one of the scummiest people I’ve ever met. Killed people, countless thefts, couple... Things I won’t mention, bad dude overall. Don’t feel bad for him dying.”
-
"I-.... Yeah I don't have anything really to say." She fell silent then, not knowing how to respond to what he said.
-
“Well, that’s a loss of words on your part, not mine. You know of any major settlements around these parts, or am I already in one? I guessed I was in one, the buildings and shops gave it away.”
-
"This is the only one I know of, yeah. So yeah, this is one." She shrugged, glancing about where they where now. In truth Penny had no idea.
-
“Well then. What exactly are you, Penny? You’re way too clueless to be anything but one of two things. You’re either just created today, or you’re an amnesiac.”
-
"I wasn't exactly created today, more like about a week ago I was given sentience."
-
“Ah, so you’re a machine then. Android, I’d presume from the human looks and such. Probably don’t try and take a bath then, might short circuit.”
-
"Well no shit, Sherlock. Water doesn't do much to me however."
-
“Well that was a tonal shift and a half. Who put a stick in your ass all the sudden? Cursing and word usage changing entirely... Might be a fault in your coding, if I had to guess.”
-
"My what? I'm fine, haven't had any problems." She didn't seem to notice, either the android had a rough edge, or split personality.
-
“Your tone. It went from happy-go-lucky naive girl to asshole real fast. Whoever programmed you has a sick sense of humor.” [b]He lifts up his prism, staring into it. Hundreds upon hundreds of weapons swirled about the prism.[/b] “You have to eat, Penny? Or is that not necessary?”
-
"I'm an android, I don't eat." She crossed her arms then, leaning to a side.
-
“Just askin’. Then what do you do? Charge? Do you have to change your own batteries out? Double A or triple A?” [b]He chuckles, proud of his own shitty joke.[/b] “All joking aside, how do you get more energy then?”
-
"I have a fusion core, the specifics aren't needed. Never run out of energy basically."
-
“Damn. Should get one of those for my ship. And a better ship that’s not a piece of shit junker, for that matter. Do you have any idea where I might buy or steal one, besides from you? Not that I would actually do that.”
-
"I don't know, all I know is that I have one."
-
“Well... Do you happen to know who your creator is so I can ask them?”
-
"A man named JT." She didn't like sharing that kind of information, but so far he was kind enough, so why not?
-
“Ah, heard about him before I came here, actually. Did my homework. He’s one of the more famous people here, actually. Think I’ll have a word about purchasing some parts, then. You know, I have my own android on my ship. She’s a bit of a bitch, but she means well. At least, I’m fairly sure she does.”
-
"Well, don't think he owns any more of what powers me, since he purchased my chassis third party, then later gave me sentience."
-
“Well if he bought it, then he probably knows where to get more. He made it, I’ll pay him to make me one. If none of that works, I’ll get one somewhere else.”
