[dropkick_princess]

Mint visibly flinches at the question. She really needs to reign that in, doesn't she? Gosh, why do people get so upset at that, anyway?

"Not the bad guy kind," Mint insists, having managed to pick out that part of the suit's questions earlier, "I mean, jeez, those people who go on about creating a world of darkness? No way. I'd even let you be one of my ministers. You could be the minister of... well, what do you want to be the minister of?"

[electricalcurrent]

There was the sound of clicking from the armor, but more like a tongue doing it than a mechanical one. Finally she spoke up again. "I can get behind that. My species had someone do that to bring peace between the elements. Name's Spark. Well, Spark in English. I'd probably be a minister of technology," She walked over to offer a hand. She wasn't very tall at close, probably just 5 foot 7 inches, and probably some of that was the suit.

"While we maintain a partnership, she is separate entity from myself. I will have to review more data from you before thinking your attempts wise," the electronic, masculine voice stated.

"That's my suit AI. I call him Zapps since he doesn't tell me his real name."

"My species is entirely mechanical. There is no point to having aural communication."

[dropkick_princess]

Mint's happy that... it seems like somebody actually understands what she's going for isn't a bad thing.

"Yeah, right, see? I mean, there's all these people doing a pretty terrible job, and getting into wars. I used to be the heir to the throne back home, but then my (expletive) sister comes in with this book, throwing pumpkins around and turning me into her servant! I mean, the nerve, right? But why stop at getting back my proper place, I thought? Course, I still... don't have a thorough plan yet, but I'm working on it."

She takes Spark's hand.

"Nice to meet... both of you? Weird names... I'm Princess Mint."

[electricalcurrent]

She shook her hand in response, easily holding it. It seemed Zapps had a good control of the strength of the suit. It was a sleek design, for the most part, but bulky around the fore arms. "Wings" with discs in them were the way she 'flew' though she was just walking for now. "It is good to meet you too, Mint," Spark replied.

"I would suggest scraping it then. Any sort of control of an entire world would require more technology than this planet has or a large clot among the major nations. Of which I'm still analyzing the complex relationships," Zapps responded to her ideal, "Though I can appreciate your frustration."

[dropkick_princess]

"What? Scrapping my plans? Not gonna happen! Your idea is kind of what I'm going for, except I'm better with magic. If I can find enough artifacts... or, better yet, if I could just find one really powerful relic..." she trails off in thought.

[electricalcurrent]

"Mind control?" Zapps inferred.

"Elemental Sigils might be helpful, but all of those are on my home planet."

[dropkick_princess]

"What? Mind control?! No! That's sick!" Mint was honestly rather taken aback by the suggestion.

But, more importantly...

"Elemental sigils?" the princess asked, "Maybe... I'm pretty good with elemental magic. Alright, that settles it. We're getting a space ship."

[electricalcurrent]

"I have one! And good to hear on that part." Spark exclaimed.

"That needs fuel from Mars, which we'd need to spend 2 years getting to and more time getting the fuel out of the ground. None of it is on the Earth," Zapps pointed out.

"I know. We'll do that after we beat the bad guys. Well, at least for a while."

[dropkick_princess]

"T-two years?" Mint faltered at that, "Just for the fuel? Just how long would this take by the time we get back to Earth?"

[electricalcurrent]

"Well, Probably three years total, if we hop from Mars."

[dropkick_princess]

"That's a long time... can the ship hold that much food?"

[electricalcurrent]

"I guess I would need to replace the food supplies before doing a mission like that," she stated.

"We would also need to get you a high pressure suit, as her ship is pressurized for 2.2 atm. As is her world," Zapps said with a stately voice.

[dropkick_princess]

"This isn't going to be easy, huh?" Mint crossed her arms, furrowing her eyebrows, "And being gone for three years... I wonder if Earth would be okay without me for that long. I'm pretty important here, after all."

What is modesty?

[electricalcurrent]

"I would suggest finding a replacement then," Spark suggested. Zapps still considered her whole plan stupid but had decided that it would be a poor idea to force that point now.

[dropkick_princess]

"That could work..." Mint nodded, but then added, "But who's good enough to replace me?"

She put her hands on her hips, mulling the idea over.

"That's a tough one..."

Again, no modesty...

"Maybe a clone? No, that'd be weird..."

[electricalcurrent]

There was some more noises from them before Zapps spoke aloud. "I think your sense of ego is overinflated."

[dropkick_princess]

"Nobody asked you!"

That's one airborne princess suddenly coming at the suit with a drop kick.

[electricalcurrent]

There was a thrust backwards away from the heavy kick as the guantlet's reformed from blades to powered fists. "Hey! Don't threaten Zapps. He's just a bit mouthy," Spark stated, though seemed ready to fight to defend. Though they seemed primarily in a dodge stance, slowly floating above the surface.

[dropkick_princess]

Mint didn't seem particularly intent to follow up. It was more or less just a one time retaliatory strike for the suit's comment.

"Well, he shouldn't be," the princess huffed, before changing the subject, "Tsk, maybe I should figure out some other way, then..."

[electricalcurrent]

It took a few moments for them to calm down. There was some interface of emotions even when like this, so hard for her not to feel how angry Zapps was at her. More chirping between them before looking back at her.

"What abilities do you have? Might find us another way," Zapps quested.
