People don't actually talk to me that often. [she sighs heavily, then reaches for a nail file and starts working on her nails] Usually only if they want a hint or something.
Wait really? [Why does he seem so genuinely surprised by that. He fidgets a little, Mini-Max crawling out of his pocket and up onto his shoulder. He gives a polite wave to Ambition, a soft "hello" echoing before he goes quiet.] ...people used to only talk to me to cheat off of my homework, so I guess I get it.
Next time I won't think you're busy then. [Hm.] ...what do you do when you aren't talking to us?
[She. Kind of side-eyes Mini-Max for a second, but... honestly? Not the weirdest thing she's ever seen. So she waves back to the robot.]
They did? You must be really smart, then.
[she would
definitely have been one of the people cheating off his homework, but she'd probably talk to him for more than that, too]
Mostly I just keep an eye on things, or spend time with the other gods. [...] What do you do when you aren't at trials? You're in the lab a lot, right?
I skipped a bunch of grades and graduated from high school last year. [Matter-of-fact, assured of himself. He doesn't seem to mind that.] But college has been a little better.
[That...sounds pretty boring for the most part, though spending time with the other gods makes sense. He has a group of friends he sticks to, so he can't fault that.] The lab's probably the only place in the temple that still makes a lot of sense to me. I'll check out the wings sometimes but I've been working on upgrades for Mini-Max and keeping busy that way.
[i.e. he's been staying out of people's way and that's probably why he's still alive.]
[He rolls his eyes.] I like that it's a challenge. And it's where all my friends are and I can get my hands on all sorts of equipment I don't get to have in my garage. What's not to like?
[He looks back at Mini-Max, eyeing his robo-friend.] I rewrote his entire personality so that he's more like the original Baymax instead of Mini-Max himself. He was originally made for a friend who's really into comic books so he was a lot louder and kind of obnoxious. [Just like Fred.] I upgraded his scanners a little, too, to look out for other people and scan for minor injuries. And he's also programmed to translate a few languages now to read some of the stuff in the study.
[As for her, not having to do school anymore is one of the best parts of being a god.
But, wait.]
You did all that? It's only been, like, a little more than a month. That's a lot. [Well, it seems like a lot to her. She doesn't know shit about robotics.]
Well....yeah. [An embarrassed shrug.] I have nothing else to really do here, and I don't really sleep that much. I have to do something to pass time. Besides, I made all of my gear at home in like a week.
I know. And...I don't know. The only thing I want out of this is my wish. The only way to get it is to stay alive and stay on the winning team. I don't really need anything else as long as I can fix what happened.
And anyway I don't know what you guys would even want with my inventions anyway. It's just science.
Well, you're on the right team for that, anyway. I'm not planning on losing this game.
[it's right there in the name - Ambition. she's not the type to get up.]
Oh, please. Don't bother being modest. We're gods, but only like, one of us is any good with robotics. Anything you can make blows half the stuff the other idiots could do out of the water.
Why do you think I switched? You seemed a lot more capable than my last god. [A shrug.]
...but thanks. [There's a semi-proud grin.] I've talked to Justice, so I kinda got that impression? But it's what I've been doing my entire life so it didn't make sense to quit just because I was here. Besides, it makes me less suspicious if I stay out of everybody's way.
[Hm.] ...I could make you something if you wanted.

So don't go assuming I'm busy.

What upgrades have you made for him so far?

You could, like, totally bribe me and the rest of the gods with your inventions, you know? Why haven't you?
