One-sided altercations
Who: Erek and anyone
Open: Open!
When: Day 273
Where: Skyway
What: Erek continues his quest to acquire enough shards to FILL THE BASTION WITH DOGS. He runs into trouble, and he both can't and won't fight back. You can find him when he's searching or when he's been ambushed
Format: Prose somewhat preferred, but I'll match!
Warnings: He may not actually approve of rescue attempts.
It still doen't sit right with Erek, asking anyone else to fight in his defense. It's just too close to the limits of his programming against violence. If he asks someone along to help should an altercation happen, that makes him responsible for any ensuing violence. Tobias sometimes gets scouting requests, but that's all.
He may encounter others and keep them company for awhile, but eventually, Erek winds on his own today. He usually stays hidden when there aren't other people around. This time, though, keeping a low profile doesn't seem to have been quite as effective a deterrent to trouble. His presence has been noticed, whether through the scent of metal or the fact that grass moves and is squashed flat without anyone visible on it.
At first it's just a few squirts, and Erek stands and takes the blows with no hesitation. Then he ses a Gasfella coming, and with it, a much higher chance of being knocked off the edge. Erek drops to the ground, fingers digging in. If he just lays here, presumably they'll lose interest after awhile. At the moment, more creatures are arriving, but none of them seem to have weapons or natural abilities that would do him real harm. It doesn't hurt, and he isn't even being dented. He's not waiting for help, just for the situation to change. If nothing changes, he'll probably make a run for it eventually.
Erek's hologram of near invisibility flickers with every particularly significant blow, revealing the android body underneath.

But fine, if that's what he wants. Edea sighs, crosses her arms and waits. If Erek thinks she's going to just walk away and leave him alone he really is crazier than she already thinks.

"I assumed they'd lose interest eventually. I'm sturdy enough that the only danger is being knocked off the Skyway, hence lying down. It was a deliberate decision once the Gasfella showed up." This is probably only mildly reassuring, and Erek knows it. He considers his hologram and force field limits. He has another one available, but he'll have to make optimum use of if he wants an effective enough distraction.
...Or Edea could always go off with her own plans before he finds the right moment. Erek doesn't know what to expect of his new presumable ally.
