47 - Action

[Well, Pokey certainly hadn't been expecting to get anything in the mail today, especially since he hadn't gotten anything for the last event. So seeing the child-sized crate on his lawn took him slightly by surprise.

Which didn't stop him at all from opening it. And just staring, dully, at its contents.]


A. Action; Locked to 502 Ricardo Street

[Hey housemate(s?). Feel free to notice the fact that there's a child-sized, humanoid robot currently busy cleaning the kitchen. Exactly how much progress it's making is somewhat debatable, considering it's working on cleaning the dishes and has a 1-1 record on successfully cleaning a dish, and accidentally breaking on.]

B. On the front porch of 502 Ricardo Street

[Well, it's lunch time, and for most kids, that means sandwiches. So nothing odd to see here. It's just a blue-skinned boy and his robot, having some sandwiches.

Or, uh, the robot is. Pokey finished his and is currently staring at the bologna sandwich the robot seems to be eating. It isn't long before his hand goes for it, trying to take it away from the robot. The robot doesn't seem very eager to let him have it.]


Let go! You're a robot! You don't need it as much as I do!

C. Grocery Shopping

[If you're at the grocery today, feel free to notice the kid sitting in a shopping cart as it's being pushed by a robot. They can first be found just tearing around the parking lot, the kid standing up in the cart as the robot pushes it, laughing his ass off and demanding for the robot to go faster. Of course, this ends relatively quickly when the robot accidentally runs the cart into something, knocking Pokey back on his ass into the cart.

When they actually do go into the store, it doesn't go much better. Pokey's at least realized it's a good idea to be out of the cart by this point. Which was a smart move. Considering there's so much more to possibly ram into, the robot is having a harder time maneuvering the cart, and ends up ramming it into something, be it an aisle, or a display, or another cart, every few seconds. Pokey, of course, decides to help the robot the best way he knows how.]


Oh wow, amazing. Yeah. You can't even work a shopping cart right. I'm really glad I got you back.

Yeah, Rinne. I used to fight them back in my own world. Dantalion used rinne that looked a bit like that.

Okay, see, I'm pretty sure what I have and what you're thinking of are two different things. Mine's just a robot.

[And as he says this, the robot manages to slip on the floor, pushing the cart away and into another aisle of food.]

A stupid robot.

Oh. Well, it does seem pretty dumb, I'll give you that. Did you make it?

[He sighs a little, looking at the ground.]

....Yeah.

[It's not something he's particularly proud of.]

It's pretty cool that you can build one, even if it's dumb. You'll make a better one next time I'm sure.

I hope so.

At least it can clean okay.

Sometimes.

That's not too bad then. I'm sorry I can't help you build a better one, my abilities are all with unrestricted method and just having a good education, I'm not an engineer.

I guess I'm not a traditional one either, I mean I didn't go to school for it or anything. It's just something I'm good at.

[identity profile] flameyedhunter.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's pretty impressive to be good at that, though.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. Yeah. It is.

[And he is just smug to the nines at that. Damn right he's awesome.]

Are they fun to take apart?

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. Sometimes. I mean, I won't lie, I'd do it sometimes just for fun, but it can also be wasteful.
