We build robots to reflect ourselves

[tadaishi]

Who: A robot and you, possibly Tadashi and you
What: Tadashi's first project since arriving has made a bid for freedom
Where: All around the city
When: 5/9-5/10
Warnings: Robot body horror? Idk

[It's not unusual to see animatronics around Progress City. But they're finished products, robots that look and act pretty much human.

One of them isn't an animatronic and certainly doesn't look very human, though much of it is covered in a brightly colored hawaiian shirt and board shorts that don't match the shirt at all. It doesn't seem to have very much of a purpose, taking it's time wandering wherever its metal feet may take it, whether it be into a random restaurant or into the Animal Kingdom--it's curious and needs to see things.

At least it's polite, and will greet whoever it happens to cross paths with with a somewhat distorted "h̛el͏lo̵!̡!" and wave.

Elsewhere, a panicked teenager is attempting to find the project that literally walked off while he was taking an unintended nap. Care to help him find his robot, or at least calm him down?]

[Fortunately (?), she's not being filmed. Also fortunately, the robot's owner is relatively near instead of on the other side of the park or something, so he shows up relatively quickly.

And somewhat out-of-breath.]

Wendy! You found him, great...he hasn't been bothering you, has he?

[kindaruledatit]

Oh, Tadashi, hey.

[Fortunately, she's pretty glad to have another Human around, and it's Tadashi.]

Him? Oh yeah, totally talked my ear off. [With a shake of her head, she laughs.] Nah, dude, just barely met him.

[tadaishi]

[Phew.]

Great...he's not actually dangerous, but I haven't really beta-tested him outside yet...or with other people.

[kindaruledatit]

Soooo why's he out here?

[tadaishi]

Temporary lapse of consciousness.

[kindaruledatit]

So you dozed off and it slipped out.

[Huh. Hands on her hips, she regards the bot for a couple seconds before looking back at Tadashi.]

...Well hey! Looks like it passed a test drive. And look, it's not even dead yet.

[tadaishi]

...Yeah, basically. But I liked my version better.

[Said robot imitates her stance. This is helpful, right?]

'Yet'. I hope it stays that way for a while.

[kindaruledatit]

Hey, I won't tell if he doesn't.

[If it is a "he". She won't judge.]

...Yeah well, you might want to keep it away from like.... Marnie.
