[ this is

actually kind of incredible. if you're lu bixing, then spaceships, space stations and all sorts of other tech aren't even remotely unfamiliar, but being inside of a supercomputer of some kind is a new one. perhaps you're trying to get out, or at least trying to investigate a little, and along your way, you may see a young man leaning way, way too close to a gigantic wall of circutry, his hand on his chin, peering from connection to connection as if he could, well, understand all of it.

this is definitely a place uninhabitable, and yet, when realizing that someone else is nearby, lu bixing turns and spreads his arms out wide, gesturing at the entire of everything. he's like one inch from falling into a coolant river of hell probably but that doesn't seem to bother him at all.

beaming, he crows: ] Isn't this fascinating? [ is it, lbx? is it ]

[ or, alternatively, you might find him following the path of one of the maintenance robots, reaching precariously out for one of them when it turns its back, muttering quietly to himself. it's something along the lines of really, if i could just get a handle on its paneling... surely, it wouldn't be that hard to get into its system... ]

[ later, you might find lu bixing in the spaceship area, cross legged in front of one of the design panel kiosks. the ship he seems to be working on is lovely, sleek and dark, and he's working on outfitting it with some kind of shield, typing rapidly into the kiosk until it looks like its just lines of code. he seems perfectly at home doing this, vibing, working very hard on the ship he's creating.

if you seem like you're struggling to design one or use the machine, eventually, there's a friendly voice from over your shoulder - lu bixing's standing at a respectable distance, and he offers a friendly smile and a tilt of his head. ]

Need any help? I know it seems a little overwhelming.

[ lu bixing is never one to miss a chance to talk about himself a little. somehow, in his profile picture, despite it being from an odd angle, he's managed to turn towards the camera and give it an absolutely radiant smile. how? who knows

his answers go something like this: ]

Tell me a little about yourself.
My name is Lu Bixing, former headmaster of the Starry Seas Academy, current resident of the Eighth Galaxy. I like cooking, engineering, and, of course, long walks through the city. Is this that kind of app? (>ᴗ•) Nice to meet you!

Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?
I like to think I'm a leader. I'd have to be, right? How do you educate kids if you can't be a leader? Well, at least I'm a leader in training, nowadays...

What is your best feature?
I've been told I have great hair. And a nice smile. :)

I wonder if we could update this app to add emoji or improve the user experience. Maybe an option to upload photos? What do you think? What might make this easier for you to use? Let me know, and I'll do my best to implement it!

[ lbx this isn't your program? ]
