Mayor Rod's life is a living nightmare
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.]

[Translation: Bill's Lab. If Star even understood that. He hoists one of Rod's arms onto his nonexistent shoulder and starts marching forward. However, as he walks, he sort of...stumbles back and forth along the pavement, trying to keep his balance while he carries this weight.
Hey--robots are heavy, and he's a twink.]
Meep? Meemiimeep meemoo?
[How's Rod looking?]
no subject
[He could probably carry Rod by himself, but he's also holding a coffee in one hand, so.]

[Please.]

...but grabs his leg again before it hits the ground.]
Whoops! How clumsy of me!

He'll just. Pick up the bulk of Rod's body so he doesn't get literally dragged across the pavement to the lab.]
I'm surprised it lasted this long, honestly.

[He sounds a little bit defensive. No hard feelings Tadashi, he just cares for his son so much.]
no subject
[Oswald? Whomst the fuck is that]
no subject
[Oswald did do a good job, but the fact remains he still used tank parts to create a working robot.]
I mean, I'm impressed, but he still used a tank.
