Application: C-3P0 and R2-D2, Star Wars

A (mostly) gold droid waddled into the sorting room and stopped in shock. This was most unfortunate, as a short and squat droid was right behind him and ran into his knees. "Artoo! Pay attention!" the tall droid snapped. R2-D2 whistled something at him that sounded both indignant and rude ( Read more... )

"Mmm." Yoda leaned on his cane, eyes crinkling at the sight of the two droids. "Interesting. Very interesting."

As soon as Artoo laid his photoreceptor on Yoda he began to beep and rock violently. "Watch your language!" Threepio said when the little droid started twittering, but as he listened he started to do a few double-takes between Yoda and Artoo.

"So you're Master Yoda. Artoo has told me stories about you."

They weren't good stories.

"Imagine that he has, I can," Yoda said dryly. "Met, we have. A memorable time, it was." And it was, too! There was petty theft involved, and mud, and floating!

"Artoo would like to say that you can stick it up your---" There was a pause as Threepio realized that what he was translating would not be appropriate for polite company.

"Well. Artoo says 'go away.'"

"That would be picking a cheese for someone else," A pointed out. "The question, it, it's not about catering."

oh_artoo September 7 2010, 05:27:11 UTC

"Droids do not need sustenance," Threepio explained. "A power source and well-oiled joints are really all a droid can ask for. I'm afraid I do not have a favorite cheese."

((Edited for typo.))

i_am_an_hero September 7 2010, 05:33:39 UTC

"Try imagining it," A suggested. "Think about what you know about cheeses, and what qualities you think would be superior."

After all, there was a lot of value in encouraging people to think in new ways.

oh_artoo September 7 2010, 05:48:06 UTC

Threepio missed the point completely. "Most humanoid lifeforms prefer their cheese to be savory, although sweeter varieties are not unheard of. Cheese is usually more valuable when the ingredients or the processing of the cheese can only be done in one part of the galaxy. The most expensive cheese hails from--"

He was cut off by R2-D2. "Really, Artoo, I wasn't finished." Threepio turned to A. "He says that he would like cheese that tastes like nuts."

"Oh good god. No." Kamelion was bad enough, but he was not about to put up with more robots. Or...droids, whatever they called themselves.

oh_artoo September 8 2010, 05:20:35 UTC

"I am unfamiliar with the god No," the protocol droid said politely. "Is this a local deity?"

"I...no! I'm not going to talk to another stupid robot!"

Re: Vote: Squib oh_artoo September 20 2010, 02:57:11 UTC

"How rude!" Threepio turned away from him. "Artoo, I think we'd best be served to get out of this place as soon as we can."

Wishbone listened to a lot of the stories. He missed the first few.

THOSE ARE SO COOL! he said when Threepio finally finished.

oh_artoo September 8 2010, 05:22:37 UTC

"Why thank you!" He was as close to beaming as he could get. "It's so nice to finally be appreciated."

woocha September 8 2010, 05:34:13 UTC

Do you have any more stories? Wishbone asked, tail wagging.

oh_artoo September 20 2010, 03:01:26 UTC

"Oh yes! I am, after all, a protocol droid. It is my primary function to be able to facilitate communication between two beings, and one way I can be of service is through telling stories. Have you heard The Little Lost Bantha Cub?"

Donna had seen a few different robots during her time traveling with the Doctor and these two weren't like any kind she had seen before. She looked down at the pages and pages of mythology scattered over the floor. The dictaquill looked exhausted.

Rather than address the gold robot, she looked down at the squat one. "Does he always prattle on like that?"

oh_artoo September 8 2010, 05:24:52 UTC

With a spin of his done and a forlorn whistle Artoo did an eerily good impression of wearily shrugging his shoulders.

"I do not!" Threepio cried. "I am merely imparting useful information."

redhead_temp September 9 2010, 01:56:48 UTC

She smiled at the indignant tone, "Relax, you remind me of someone I used to travel with. Good god could he talk. So, you're from the future I take it. You'll find things rather.. backwards from what you're probably used to."

Donna used her wand to put the scattered pieces of paper back on the desk. "And there's magic here, real, proper magic. It takes some time to get used to it but it's pretty brilliant once you figure it out."

oh_artoo September 20 2010, 03:18:20 UTC

R2-D2 beeped cheerfully, but C-3PO ignored him in favor of melodramatic moaning. "You would not believe some of the places Artoo and I have been to. At least this seems to be a civilized planet. If I could count the number of times we have been shot at, eaten, dropped, abandoned--"

When Donna charmed the paper back on the desk, Artoo practically rolled over Threepio's foot to get him to shut up and translate.

"Hmph! Well. Artoo would like to know if magic is like the Force."
