Hey, so. Where’s the smart people.

You’re all feeling these brands and marks on your hands, aren’t you? Can’t get close to certain people? Can’t hug them? Seriously?

There’s gotta be someone out there who has a potion or a magic spell or something to make them go away. Come on, where are you? Let’s figure this out as soon as possible. Hey?

[Zack can’t touch his boo and this is a fate worse than death and he’d rather be!! Dead!! Someone has to be out there with some sort of solution!?

There is no solution (?). Leviathan magic is just that strong. But he can still publicly complain about it.]

You're talking about laser tattoo removal, aren't you? Yeah, I think we might be out of luck with something like that here. But it's good thinking.

Unless you wouldn't happen to know how to make a magitech laser, would you?

[baymaxing]

yeah, that. i didn't have a tattoo back home. i'm kinda young for that. plus, if i did and aunt cass found out, she'd probably kill me.

i'm not sure. i could try, but something tells me it is probably not gonna be that simple to reverse this. we could hang out together before, but now. it's different. i dunno.

[activatingcombatmode]

No, you're good. Your aunt is right. Tattoos aren't usually for kids.

It looks like we can't get near people from the opposite armada without it causing the brands on our hands to hurt, yeah.

If it's going to be too hard then don't worry about it. You should keep yourself safe.

[baymaxing]

not usually. i got one here. but i figure if it's just on my arm i can just keep it covered with long sleeves back home? to hide it from her. and everyone else.

not that it's necessarily something i know much about beyond that i know of that as an option to get right of tattoos, lighten them. i'm willing to try. i just am not sure it will be that simple.

[activatingcombatmode]

It's different here, everyone's got to get a tattoo so they'll be safer and can use their magic and things like that. And at least these ones can get removed safely enough.

But I don't think it'll be that simple with these brands. They're stronger. It's been near impossible to get them off.

[baymaxing]

yeah. i got one. just hoping aunt cass doesn't come here and see it.

the brands are probably different though, yeah. i can try the laser removal idea, but whether that will work. that's a different story. not sure if covering it up with something else might help, either.

[activatingcombatmode]

Hey, if your aunt shows up here and is upset with it, I can try talking to her. Name's Zack Fair. I've got a lot of kids on my crew so I know how it is.

You're a smart kid, huh?

[baymaxing]

not sure anyone talking to her would help. she will probably still flip out. but it's fine, not like it'd be the first or last time. i'll make a note, though. thanks for the offer.

yeah. i just started at sfit, to go to university and study robotics, back home
.

[activatingcombatmode]

That much of a worry wart, huh. Well, it's good that you've got a good aunt who worries about you.

Robotics? How old are you?

[baymaxing]

to be fair. it isn't like i haven't given her reason to worry, over the years. there was that one time she came and picked us up from jail after tadashi tried to get me home after i'd been bot fighting, and uh, hustling and gambling on the results.

fourteen. why? or. wait. maybe i guess fifteen? i dunno. time here is different, maybe so it's kinda weird.

[activatingcombatmode]

Fourteen and you're hustling and gambling?! It's no wonder she was worried about you. You probably put ten years on her.

[Kiddo, PLEASE.]

And building robots, though? You must be some kid genius.

[baymaxing]

yeah, she blamed me for her stress eating the donuts at her cafe she ran.

yeah. guess i was lucky that i was still accepted into sfit. even if i am four years younger than most people that would be starting there.

[activatingcombatmode]

That's because she loves you. Sometimes love costs donuts.

It's alright, I've been there. I've probably caused at least half of my mom's gray hair.

It's a good thing you're a smart kid ontop of the gambling.

[baymaxing]

or gummi bears? i'm sure when the grey's start, she'll find a way to blame me for that too.

I'm trying to do better now. focus on studying. not gambling and hustling with bot fighting.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah. That's cute, though.

Well, it's not like you can go bot fighting here, right?

[...Right?]

[baymaxing]

no. i'd have to make the bots myself. and people here don't necessarily know much if anything about the tech or how to control them. even if i wanted to.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, I'm guessing building a robot would kind of be out of the cards, here. Unless you figured something out with magitech.

[Zack doesn't really understand any of that stuff.]

[baymaxing]

assuming i could figure the supplies i would need. and the tools to make one from scratch. already made some adjustments to baymax with being here. working on a suit for him. just a matter of working with what we have here, the magitech. learning more about that.

[activatingcombatmode]

Sounds like a lot of work. Are you sure you can handle all of that?

[Isn't this kid pretty young? Genius or not...]

[baymaxing]

if i can handle making the microbots back home, and rebuilding baymax. pretty sure I can manage it. yeah. just taking me a bit longer here while I figure out alternatives, learning more with this magitech, is all.

besides. i know that if needed, professor turo is around, for example. he helped me figure some ideas for charging baymax here.

[activatingcombatmode]

Oh yeah, the Prof. He's a pretty smart guy from what I've heard.

Well, good luck kiddo.

[baymaxing]

he is, yeah. i like working with him. he's prob one of the few around here that gets tech. most here seem to be from like. way different times from before things were that advanced.

thanks.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, I've noticed that too. This world is eons behind the tech in my world too but I'm not an inventor or anything like that.

Keep it up, though. You could probably help things along if you already are smart enough to deal with robotics and things like that.

[baymaxing]

it's mostly just frustrating trying to figure alternatives. but i'm learning more about magitech and figuring working with that. it's a work in progress. the tech side of things i am fine with, it's really the magic aspect that is new to me.

but it want to try help where i can. if some of the things i make or fix might help.
