Mayor Rod's life is a living nightmare

[keyofimagination]

Who: Rod, Bill, and you!
What: Start of the Election Event!
Where: The Transport Center
When: The morning on 4/22
Warnings: Robotic Body horror



[It was a normal morning in Progress City, and Rod is as overworked as ever. He gets off the monorail from Magic Kingdom, barely looking up from the papers he is currently reading over. It seems like all the stress of the city and the addition stress of people randomly getting stuck in the portal is getting to him. If robots could look exhausted, Rod would be a textbook example of that right now.

But that’s almost a daily sight at this point, and something most people wouldn’t find unusual at all at this point. What is unusual is when he suddenly grabs his chest and lets out a muffled cry of pain. He takes a few more steps to try to get to his office, but stops himself as he braces himself on the wall.

You can try to see if anything’s wrong with him, but he will brush it off with an “I’m fine, I just need a moment”.

However, it becomes abundantly clear that certainly not fine when he suddenly collapses to the ground, papers flying everywhere as he does so. While this seems like a normal collapse at first but if someone looks close at him, his limbs seem strangely disjointed under his clothes.

His limbs are falling off of his body.]

You have a faulty animatronic body that you've put under constant stress, as of late.

[keyofimagination]

[That manages a glare from Rod.]

[billbillbill]

Your body is not capable of taking all of that stress, and you know it.

[keyofimagination]

[There is a long pause.]

Will things ever settle? New people keep showing up. You run the galaxy's biggest theme park.

... Yeah, okay, that sounds really suspicious?

[fuckin watching you]

[billbillbill]

Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

[hallotween]

A scientist with suspicious intentions!

[billbillbill]

My only intentions are having Mr. Twilight Zone back up to working capacity, though, it might take quite a while.

[andbegone]

Define 'a while'.

[how much shit can he upend while the mayor is gone]

[billbillbill]

A day or two.

[...a thought hits him.]

Of course, I'm not sure if he'll be able to continue his duties as mayor in the meantime. Or after.

[hallotween]

How long is "quite a while?" [bc if he's not working she's sure as fuck not working]

[billbillbill]

I'm a genius. It'll be a short amount of time.

[allknowledgegoodknowledge]

Kinky.

[billbillbill]

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays.

[allknowledgegoodknowledge]

I think you two can call it whatever you please~
