[Lore is in his old office, though he can't break anything open to get to the parts inside. Believe him, he tried. But he has some nice new scientist's clothes, which at the moment consists of a white button up coat and gloves that he doesn't need right but he's wearing anyway because, eh, why not?]
By the way. I lied. I know. Shame on me. Look how sad everyone is. So disappointed. [He tsks. So few cares (and he knows that probably no one or next to no one is actually disappointed). And that flat voice that he used when he introduced himself? Completely gone. Now? Just a little hand wave.]
My name is Lore, I'm Data's older brother. I'll be you're resident maniacal android for this trip, or until the old cookie-dropping creepy driver gets rid of me. Until then, it's nice to meet you. [And he grins a grin that could cut glass. But woops! Gone after a millisecond.]
I think that'll be all. [And he switches off the feed. Because now he wants to go investigate the ship without having to try and hold the boring face (he's almost relieved to not have to do that anymore). He'll get back to things later.]
OOC: Feel free to spam off the post and catch him anywhere around the ship.

[Spam] Pool table on level six (if that's okay)
Date: 2012-08-03 06:58 pm (UTC)But the Barge is a small place, so it's inevitable that they'd cross paths eventually. Narvin isn't expecting it to happen while he's distracted by a solitary game of three-cushion billiards. Calculating the angles and tracing the probabilities is almost meditative, but it also draws almost all of his attention.]

Looks at Narvin.
Smiles tightly and lets it drop in. Hi!]

Date: 2012-08-03 08:01 pm (UTC)Can I help you? [In a tone of voice that indicates that he'd rather not, thank you.]

Date: 2012-08-04 12:43 am (UTC)So, what era are you from? Obviously not the 21st century like much of the rest of the ship.

Date: 2012-08-04 03:41 am (UTC)He's cautious with the answer he gives. Sometimes its safer to be underestimated. But Lore has already watched him play against himself, so there are some things he can assume Lore already knows.]
Superior hand-eye coordination compared to humans. Excellent mental computational skills. [And that's all he offers.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2012-08-04 09:57 am (UTC)Which you decided to practice down here? This ship must be exceptionally lacking at times.
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2012-08-04 09:38 pm (UTC)[Lore doesn't appear to be terribly fond of the human species that made him, so Narvin decides to drop that into the conversation--as if he feels beleaguered by the human presence here--and see if anything comes out of it.]

Date: 2012-08-04 10:46 pm (UTC)And what advantages are those?

Date: 2012-08-05 12:34 am (UTC)[The ball pings off the side of the table, off another diamond, back to the other side, against a ball that hits the other side, clips another, and two are knocked into pockets.]
All of it can be placed in steadier hands.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-08-05 12:48 am (UTC)Those qualities are certainly not limited to humans. [Although, granted, apart from a few renegades, Time Lords as a whole had been a bit lacking in the creativity department for quite a few millennia now. But that's not something Narvin acknowledges.]

Date: 2012-08-05 07:21 am (UTC)His eyes dart from side to side as he looks at the table, perhaps the first robotic moment he's done. They're tracing over the path Narvin's ball has just taken.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-08-05 08:03 am (UTC)And what happened? Your creator decided not to make any more and threw away the blueprints?
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2012-08-05 08:07 am (UTC)Between two balls and off another.
By another ball, and off that side to bounce back between the first two balls.
It ricochets back to the other side and by another.
It comes to a stop in front of Narvin after a couple of more ricochets. No balls on the table touched.]
Oops.

Date: 2012-08-05 08:23 am (UTC)Oh now you're just showing off.
Your brother wasn't ready for fatherhood then? Or godhood, whichever species-creating metaphor you prefer.

Date: 2012-08-05 08:36 am (UTC)Data was willing to be walked all over for decades in order to accommodate people who would outlive him anyway. I wasn't.
...The torture was mostly to acquire a necessary truth. [That he had made Data love him more than Geordi.]
