Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 1, submit your memory regain, and turn in your Benefactor threads! ))

[lmafo]

She's kinda cute, y'know, for a roomba with a knife on it. Like a really angry robopet.

[stillstands]

I think it's trying to defend my honour, or something ridiculous. I have no idea how it's deciding when that needs to happen, but--

[Hold on.]

--She?

[lmafo]

It looks like a she to me, I dunno. You should name her!

[stillstands]

[it looks like a hunk of plastic with a knife duct taped on the top of it???]

I should?

[lmafo]

Yeah, just 'cause she's a robot doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a name.

[stillstands]

[Huh.]

I've never named a robot before. I wouldn't know where to start.

[lmafo]

The most important part to naming a bomb-ass knifebot is not to think about it too hard. Just the name that you look at it and think "Damn, that is exactly the name my bomb-ass knifebot deserves."

[stillstands]

[Such wise words, Roxy.]

I've never thought anything like that in my life.

[BUT. HERE GOES NOTHING...?? She looks down at the 'bot.]

... [Well, all the members of the club have -i names, so it's only fitting she sticks with that theme, isn't it?]

"Ruri", maybe?

[lmafo]

You've also probably never had a bomb-ass knifebot, to be fair.

[ She grins. ]

There you go! Ruri it is.

[stillstands]

[Miki crouches down - "Ruri" immediately tries to bump her ankles again.]

Ruri. [She pats her hand against the top of the roomba.]

... I feel kinda weird. Like I named my television or something.

[lmafo]

Unless your universe is really different from my universe, TVs don't act on their own to defend you.

[stillstands]

[...]

Do we count this as defending?

[Charging people for startling her is a little... intense.]

[lmafo]

Ruri is trying her best, Miki, and I think we should respect that.

[stillstands]

[Hmm. She reaches down and boops the roomba on the top of her case. She beeps and does a little spin.]

Alright. She could stand to relax a little about it though.

[lmafo]

She does seem a little... nervous. First day on the job jitters?

[stillstands]

Maybe? I have to keep telling her to stop - she seems to listen to me eventually though. It just... take some repeated prompting.

[lmafo]

Then maybe she'll just get used to you and all this business. Li'l knifebot in the big city.

[stillstands]

It'd be nice if she didn't try and charge people for surprising me, yeah. [She pats Ruri again.]

You'll get past the learning curve, don't worry.

[Beeeeep!]

[lmafo]

She's a good girl, she'll get things figured out.

[stillstands]

... Can people even put artificial intelligence in a cleaning device?

[lmafo]

I mean I know a guy who put artificial intelligence in a pair of glasses, why not a roomba?

[stillstands]

[Um.]

... How...?

[JUST, HOW. TO BE FRANK.]
