text, then video

[onetoignite]

So, right, let me get this straight. We were being robbed by ghost orphans? Should I feel bad for setting that doll on fire now, because I don't, really. I mean, they were stealing smokes and all.

Whatever the hell a ghost needs cigarettes for.

Anyway, the rest of you lot should be celebrating. We've got a birthday today!

[Video time! Remember

He got bigger. [Awe! Namine is appropriately confused.]

text - just as planned!

[onetoignite]

Yeah, he's a bit of an overeater. I didn't think he'd get this big that fast.

voice; aggh that is so weird.

[dollchains]

[Giggle.] I didn't know he ate.

text; lmao! what is!

[onetoignite]

Well he's got to eat, otherwise he'll be hungry. Isn't that how it works?

[voice]

[eternalscorpion]

[A tone that brooks no argument.]

No mercy for cigarette thieves.

[He sounds quite intrigued about the robot, however.]

Does that thing really consume metal and such?

You build the most fascinating devices, I must say. I'd like to see them in person sometime.

[onetoignite]

Justice must be served.

And yeah, it does. Bit tricky just getting it to eat what it's supposed to, but useful for getting rid of shit I don't need anymore.

Er, you won't do anything weird to them if I let you see them, will you?

[voice]

[eternalscorpion]

Hmm, that sounds extremely useful.

[He chuckles.]

Oh, I'd like to examine them, but not in any way that would damage them, of course. Just looking, really.

I can bring along a puppet or two if you'd like to see them as well.

[Not that he ever goes anywhere without several on his person, but still.]

[onetoignite]

Not bad for a glorified dustbin, eh?

Of course if you're not planning on turning it into a fucking car radio or something while I'm not watching, you're welcome to take a look sometime. Wouldn't mind seeing some of those puppets of yours, either.

Hell, maybe they could meet and be friends.

[yetsleeping]

....it's eating!?

[onetoignite]

Told you.

[yetsleeping]

Aah! But. It makes no sense! Everyone has told me-- even Komui said...

[onetoignite]

Must've been mistaken then, yeah? You're watching the same thing I am.

What have you got against robots, anyway?

...happy...birthday? [She is a bit confused but a bit in awe of the creature too.]

Did you build that? It's amazing!

[onetoignite]

Salty thanks you for your consideration.

I sure did, raised him myself too. Hell of a... you know, metal thing.

Re: Text

[princely_calyx]

Well, he sure is...cute. For whatever he is.

Why did you name him Salty?

[There's a bright, girly giggle as EVE sees the video]

It is very wonderful! Will I be able to meet it someday? [This is followed by some added cooing to the little robot-dog-ish-thing]

[ VIDEO ] yeah that's right

[onetoignite]

[Oh hello cute girl, hope you enjoy your closeup of a robot... dog... thing. It's still gnawing on the tire (which is sufficiently shredded by now) but at a sharp whistle it lifts its head and "looks" vaguely in the direction of the camera.]

[There are still a few bits of rubber hanging from its jaws, and its head tips a little at the sound of Matt's voice.]

You want to meet him? I think we can arrange something like that.

[ voice ]

[will_shoot]

[She thinks this robot-dog is just the cutest ever, so there's an 'awwwww!' as it tilts its head]

Could you? I would like that very much! [So happy!!]

[ video still ] sob pretend this isn't late :(

[onetoignite]

[He doesn't turn the video off, but the ...dog thing doesn't seem to be doing anything other than listening to him.]

Sure, yeah... you know where the Patrol headquarters are, right? I can bring him there, you can have a look.
