Little L Item in Jerna's Diary | World Anvil

Little L

Ahh, Little L. What would I do without him? Little L is responsible for all the photos of my journeys, he is my companion and always has been. I picked him up at a souvenir shop way back in a village in Etrea, and he's never left my side since.
After running for a few minutes, she slowed down, and finally stopped. Completely out of breath, Jerna sunk herself behind a rock and let go of Little L, who spun around in circles, seemingly excited. With a joyous crackle, Little L lifted its lid, revealing an egg. Jerna stared in disbelief. Little L stole an egg? She scrambled for her notescreen, and scrolled down the photo gallery to find several pictures. They depicted a large chamber, where the warty dragons resided. But not only the dragons, but eggs too. I guess Little L stole one of those, Jerna thought. Well, can't return it now...

Abilities

Camera

My wonderful companion's most used ability is without a doubt the camera. With an infinite storage (wonderful, right?), Little L snaps photos of literally everything we come across. The camera acts as Little L's eyes, which help us take photos of suspicious people without them knowing. Sometimes they hear the *snap* of the camera, but I just say Little L is broken. I mean, I wouldn't be wrong saying that. These robots aren't supposed to have emotions.

Claw-Hand

Just next to Little L's compartment lid is a large claw, that Little L uses to carry small items and store them inside itself. It comes in great handy, except for when Little L thinks it's a smart idea to steal dragon eggs, which has somehow happened on several occasions. It gets annoying when Little L steals things that it shouldn't, but it is funny watching it squeal as it's chased by whomever it stole from.

Compartment

Most of Little L is used for storage, since Little L's coding is stored virtually, except for a small chip implanted where its butt should be. I hate taking out his chip. I never keep anything in its storage permanently, instead I use it for spare storage when I am adventuring and come across some cool tiny things that I want. I do tend to use it to store some money too, I have a handful of runes that I like to trade with some guys in the Depths, I know them pretty well.

Designer

The man who designed Little L is a wonderful man. Zivok spends most of his time trailing behind his group of terani as they travel through Etrea again and again. He can barely keep up with the rest, but he tries his hardest. When he settles down, he is straight back to designing fancy robots to sell to adventurers like me. There is no robot like Little L, and I have Zivok to thank for that.
Little L was certainly expensive, but looking back it was worth it. I bought Little L just as I was about to leave the group, as Zivok and I travelled together in the same group.
I paid what, 300 shells? For those not familiar with terani currency, that's damn expensive. I could buy a dragon for less, and at the time I wish I had. I did actually get a discount though, which was nice. All I had to do was make him a triple layered sandwich of all his favourite foods; chinirin meat, sawfruit slices, and unan berries.
"Okay, I have your sandwich. This took me three hours to make, so you better like it and I better get a good discount."
"You will, I promise. Now. Does it have everything I asked for? Chinirin meat? Sawfruit slices? Unan cherries?"
"Yes yes, now gimme the discount."
