grinding gears ☸ 005 - video

[The video begins normally enough, Rabbit perched on the edge of a couch (presumably within his own apartment), the phone held right up to his oxidizing copper face as he griiiiins to his audience, spidery-thin fingers giving a friendly wave.]

Heya there, Man-Duh-Lass! S-so, I've been t-t-thinkin' 'bout this whole holiday thing that's comin' up

... Rabbit? [ Wow he just met you and what is going on. His confused expression says it all. ]

[malfunctionbot]

[...Yeah, this is basically his life.

When Rabbit finally answers, after a lot of yowling and creative cursing, his once corroded and rusting over face has been scrubbed clean, swirling green patina no where in sight, just perfect, shiny copper.

And one infuriated robot.] Brothers! [he huffs with a scowl] They're th' w-worst!

[not_doing_puns]

Oh forgive me for not wanting you to rust to bits!

[standsfast]

[ Kaidan has to hide his grin behind his hand at the two's argument, clearing his throat a little before he speaks. ]

Guess I should be glad I was an only child, then. But a scrubdown every now and then's good for you. Besides, you look nice.

[malfunctionbot]

Shore should be glad! Ain't nuthin' worse than h-h-h-havin' a little brother. [A huff of steam and a glare over to The Spine. Sorry, but your brother is on a roll for being overdramatic and ridiculous today. You know he loves you.]

Makes me wish I'd actually managed t s-s-sell ya after you were first built! Should'a lowered th' price t' free.

[not_doing_puns]

[Look at him be so torn up by that glare. Really.]

And then who'd help you find the blender when they hid it from you?

[standsfast]

[ This time, Kaidan doesn't bother hiding his grin. With the way the two brothers are going at it, he almost doubts they'd notice it in the first place. It's endearing to watch... and also pretty amusing. ]

What's that about a blender?

[malfunctionbot]

[SPUTTER.] You-you-you-you-yyyyyyyou leave Betty outta this! This is b-between you an' me! [....A small glance back to the phone as his anger dwindles a little.] ....An' th' rest o' th' city apparently.....

[Oh. That's awkward. Hey there, Kaidan.]

[standsfast]

[ Okay, he can't resist giving Rabbit a small wave from his end of the feed. Hi Rabbit. ]

You two think about adding comedy to your shows?

[malfunctionbot]

[A set of spindly, copper fingers inch up to touch at his clean face, frown deepening but that ridiculous anger finally evaporated.]

T' be h-honest... That's pretty much halfa our act. We figure if it ain't th' mus-s-s-sic or th' wonder an' awe o' talkin' robuts that draws 'em in, it'll be our s-st-stupid jokes th' crowd can't resist.

..Well, Spine's stupid jokes and my amazing puns.

[standsfast]

[ Good to see the anger's gone, at least. Kaidan's amusement stays clear on his face as Rabbit explains. ]

That so? I'll definitely have to see about catching one of your shows sometime, then. You two play off each other pretty well.
