week 6

[That certainly was a rude awakening. The champions may have lost their nun and their Doctor but they've gained two very important things: freedom from the simulation they've been living in for the past several weeks and a demoted Xander. Some of them may still desire his head on a plate but, like it or not, he is one of them once more.

There's no sign of life in the spaceport aside from PAL's omnipresent voice and SIS, the helpful asSIStant who has some control over certain heres and theres in the spaceport. She is available at all times and can appear anywhere if called.

The only area unexplorable so far are the double doors by the laundry room. They're locked tight and no amount of kicking or warpstriking will open them. But perhaps they'll open in due time.]

[!]

A pigeon!

[He's delighted? He's delighted! Junpei trots over to greet Nari and her new old friend, a companion of his own humming along at his heels. It's a roomba.]

Which one is it? Is it yours?
everylittlesecret: (♫ Come inside)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Roomba!!!! Junpei got super lucky.]

Yep. She's mine. I mean, she answered when I said her name, and she's still got the orange ribbon around her leg.

[Kipsie will coo in greeting. Hello again! She remembers you!]

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-14 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Lucky. [He waves to Kipper in response.] I miss Michi and Tie.

[The roomba "accidentally" butts his foot and beeps, so Junpei has to crouch a moment and pat it.]

Come on, no offense, Ruri, but we just met. Wouldn't you want some playmates, anyway?
everylittlesecret: (♬ Lie down in my head)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-14 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Those two were rather sweet, weren't they.

[Awwwww that's so nice to do to a roomba!]

Ruri is adorable. If you put a knife on her, she could be like Stabbycat was. A little bodyguard.
misanthropicprinciple: (This reminds me of a puzzle.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-14 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
--Hah. I think that's kind of what she's supposed to be? Look, she has armor.

[Ignoring her protest briefly, he holds her up so Nari can see. That's actual armor plating and a little gold nameplate--whoever named this sweetie, it wasn't Junpei. He sets her down once more and tries to placate her.]

Shhh, shh shh shh, girl, sorry, I just wanted to show Nari how pretty you are.
everylittlesecret: (♪ It's no use)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-18 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I wish Stabbycat would have had armor like that. It suits her!

[Is it okay to pet her?]

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-19 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[It is totally okay to pet her.]

What is the impulse to attach knives to roombas? Why is it a thing? I mean, yes, I understand how memes work, but really.
everylittlesecret: (♪ But you're always on the outside)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-19 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then Ruri is getting petted. What a good roomba.]

Because of robot fight shows. People can't usually afford fighting bots, but they love the novelty of it. So they make their own with roombas.
misanthropicprinciple: (This reminds me of a puzzle.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-19 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. ...Actually, that makes a lot of sense. Those shows are fun, though I think I'd rather build my own. Even if I'd have to do it cheaply.
everylittlesecret: (♪ Oh won't you come into my head)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-19 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
A good roomba will set you back a couple of hundred bucks, but still much cheaper than a fighting bot. Plus, the newer generations of roombas can be programmed with specific actions. So you can set it up to be a fighter no problem.
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="steviesartyart" site="tumblr.com"> (Isn't it obvious?)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-19 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I feel like more than half the fun is in designing your own battle buddy. Also, I don't have two hundred dollars to spare on a vacuum cleaner.
everylittlesecret: (♪ We both know)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-20 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
True. And there's cheaper versions of Roombas.
misanthropicprinciple: (Explain me a thing.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-20 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I could get a cat for less money. Cats fight and provide soft, pettable companionship.
everylittlesecret: (♪ Coming out of my ears)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-20 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
True. They are soft purring monsters with knives attached to their feet and razors in their mouths. It's like the perfect combo.
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="nemissa" site="tumblr.com"> (Do you know who I am?)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-20 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Battlecats. With a kitten bowl special at the end of each season.
everylittlesecret: (♪ We're gonna have a fight)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-21 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Armor them and I would def watch that. Make theme nights, like where you dress one side as the Huns and the others as the Austrian army and have them reenact the many battles for Vienna.
misanthropicprinciple: (3+6 is...?)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-21 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
...It occurs to me belatedly that this might not be ethical treatment of animals.
everylittlesecret: (♪ You wanna know what I really think)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-21 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...... then how about people dressed as cats?
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="cantobear" site="tumblr.com"> (Haaaaay Carlos)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-03-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with the nonethical treatment of people dressed as cats.
everylittlesecret: (♬ Lie down in my head)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-03-23 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Cool. I would totally back this venture then.
