[ Helen is out and about Old Town District, getting a few things that she needs to start preparing for the holidays. While she doubts that Mandalus will celebrate the traditions of Earth, she's certain that the people who come from Earth will be celebrating them. This means, for Helen, that she'll be baking. Of course, she'll also be continuing her ( Read more... )

[There's a pair of cold, inhuman hands that suddenly appear before her eyes when the woman just so happens to pause in her wandering around the city.] G-guess whooo~?

notanemptymotto November 21 2012, 05:54:56 UTC

[ At first she's taken back, then Helen rolls her eyes. Good lord. ]

I wonder who. Well, it is either the Spine... or his far more energetic brother. Rabbit?

malfunctionbot November 21 2012, 20:15:03 UTC

[The hands slip away as the noises of Rabbit's aged and weary machinery clank and creak a bit closer, the robot stepping in front of Helen with a leering, chipper grin. His mismatched optics are glowing brightly today, the copper under his green patina gleaming.]

I think ya m-mean his more energetic an' h-handsome brother, right?

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 01:57:13 UTC

[ Despite the motherly look, she gives him a smile. ]

I'm afraid I'm not a very good judge on the looks between the two of you. I'd have to see you side by side.

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:03:33 UTC

[Rabbit's smile twitches into a half-frown at that, but he'll just drop that subject completely. Don't need to start down that path of intense sibling rivalry. Especially when your younger brother was taller and handsomer and smarter and just too goddamn fucking perfect 8( ]

Well I ain't rumblin' ya t' th' very core, so y-ya can safely assume by my voice I'm Rabbit, yeah?

Anywho, where ya off t', D-Doc? Got any fun plans t'day?

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:11:39 UTC

[ Oh, Rabbit, don't be that way. Helen would hardly compare the two of you :( ]

Of course. Not to mention your unique sense of humor certainly gives you away. [ Helen shakes her head at him with a smile. ]

Just work and finishing up things for a dinner on Thursday. After that, though, I may need your help with something.

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:13:00 UTC

Oh? [Well that's enough to perk up that pouting attitude.] Whatcha need from lil' ol' m-m-me?

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:25:55 UTC

I might be having an old style Christmas party that could use a little entertainment. If you're interested, of course.

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:35:41 UTC

[And there's that infectious, copper grin all over again.] An' ya trust me t' provide a few tunes for your lil' shindig? Ab~so~lute~ly, Helen! Why, I'd b-b-be delighted t'!

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:38:13 UTC

[ Helen smiles brightly at that. ] Of course I trust you. I doubt anyone else remembers the music from the late 1800s.

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:39:40 UTC

Is that what you'll be l-l-lookin' for? Not shore how much o' a grove it'll be for th' younger folks, but I'm more t-t-than happy t' oblige any request y-ya have.

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:42:22 UTC

Well, they'll certainly get a lesson in culture. [ The shrug she gives says she's more than used to that. ] Though I imagine any of the Christmas songs would work brilliantly.

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:44:23 UTC

[THOSE YOUNGINS] G-great! Just give me a list o' whatever ones ya r-really want an' I'll come up with th' rest!

Did'ya want Th'Spine along or is this all a R-R-Rabbit job?

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:47:37 UTC

[ PREPARE TO BE TAUGHT BY OLD OLD PEOPLE. ] I'll let you know when I have the date set. You could come by the Sanctuary and tell me where you'd like to perform. I'll be sure to set the stage up there.

I would actually say that is entirely up to you. [ She can sense they don't have... well, the best relationship, it seems. ]

malfunctionbot November 24 2012, 02:53:55 UTC

Shore shore! S-s-sounds like a great 'gig, Helen. Give me a r-ring on th' telefone anytime when ya got details worked out-out-out, all right?

[Being so close to the copper automaton, Helen can likely hear the literal gears of his mind whiiiiring away at his sudden excitement, a contented puff of steam rising from his mouth as his fingers and lips twitch.] Ya haven't heard Spine sing yet, have ya? Yer in for a-a-a-a r-real treat! We'll b-blow yer socks off t'gether, just you wait!

[Surprisingly enough, The Spine is easily Rabbit's best and closest friend. They just, uh, can't get over that sibling rivalry sometimes.]

notanemptymotto November 24 2012, 02:58:10 UTC

I certainly will. Hopefully it won't clash with anything else you may have set up. [ Also, she needs to figure out how to pay him for his services of course. ]

It's not something I have been able to experience, no. We just had a conversation over the network when he arrived. Since then, not much at all. I figured the two of you were off performing together.

[ It's good to see that he wouldn't be upset performing with his brother. It makes things easier. ]
