That is truly strange - though MT supposes it might not be if he were more aware of current technology? Hmmm.

On the other hand, he might not have room to talk at all, seeing as how living cookies don't exactly seem to be the norm here, either... and yet, here he is. He drops down off Earth Colt's back, a distance of just a few inches, and smiles a bit wryly up at the robot with a small nod of agreement. "That, he is. I must thank you for distracting him, even if I suppose it was not intentional. Until now, that energy had all been directed toward me."

[sassymaru]

Shadowmaru cocks his head again, the other direction. Listening. Trying to place the voice - he's absolutely sure he knows it. And with his usual systems in place, it's simple enough to pull the memory files.

A dance partner. A conversation over the network.

"I know you, do I not?"

[purifyingroots]

Millennial Tree Cookie may also be moving in the direction of figuring it out, but... it's taking a bit, as he tends to.

"You may... I suppose we both may be more difficult to recognize now, if we both appeared human upon meeting?"

[sassymaru]

"Ah, yes... perhaps. Have I spoken with you while dancing?"

Sure, the masks obscured everything. But after the fact, with his memory banks intact, it's starting to connect.

[purifyingroots]

"That... may be. I did dance with someone at the Prom... though, of course, I could not identify who at the time."

He rests a little cookie hand on... where his chin would be if he had one, and studies Shadowmaru's face, as if that will help at all given the double-obfuscation of the mask at Prom and the change in form now.

[sassymaru]

"Ahh yes, neither did I. Alas."

He sits up a little straighter, and... yeah, he's scratching at one ear. Even though he really doesn't need to. After another moment of thought, his whole body shifts. Folds.

And Shadowmaru the robot sits, crosslegged, in front of the cookie grandpa.

"I don't suppose this would assist."

[purifyingroots]

Well, who would Millennial Tree Cookie be to question a robot dog scratching his ear? Seems fair enough.

The change in form is a bit of a surprise, though not necessarily a shock... unfortunately, it also does little in itself to help Millennial Tree Cookie recognize him... at least at first. "Hm... unfortunately not. I have not seen anybody here made of metal, though I suppose I have heard--"

Aaand the lightbulb clicks on. Millennial Tree Cookie straightens up slightly. "--Oh! I thought your voice seemed familiar, have we spoken on the, ah... the Gear?"

[sassymaru]

"Mm, typically, I am not in this form, tragically. But it is closer to the one I inhabit here than my others."

He takes a break from his pose to sit crosslegged. Because that's comfortable for a giant robot, right? Apparently so. His expression brightens, one finger tapping his chin in thought.

"Ah, yes. That's entirely plausible! Perhaps if we can recall the exact discussion, I can recall it more clearly in my memory banks."

[purifyingroots]

"I see!" Yeah, the idea of changing forms seems pretty straightforward to Millennial Tree Cookie, surprising nobody.

"I believe we spoke about... well, robotics, actually! And... dates."

And how sometimes that means things other than a fruit.

[sassymaru]

"Ah-hah. I do believe I recall."

One big robotic hand extends, fingertip forward toward his cookie friend. In what has to be intended as a handshake.

"Then, my friend, a pleasure to see you as you are now."

[purifyingroots]

Millennial Tree Cookie reaches out in return, and... somehow manages to kinda hold onto that giant fingertip with his little cookie hand? How is he doing that. He doesn't have fingers, it's just a nub. Truly a mystery for the ages.

"And the same to you! I am glad to meet you in person at all; I suppose it is an added benefit for it to be while you are... I would hope, in a more comfortable form for yourself?"

[sassymaru]

Look, his canon has a literal giant kung fu panda. A tiny cookie grandpa shaking his hand with nubs? That's definitely not the weirdest thing ever. Shadowmaru is clearly charmed, regardless.

"Indeed... Though, I must admit. I have lived in this world for far longer than I had in my own. I am uncertain which is more... comfortable, at the moment."

His head tilts, those bright green eyes dimming briefly. "I hope you are in similar straights, yourself."
