is this an event

[rech]

Who: everyone!
What: the terrible awful robot baby race
Where: Tomorrowland, Magic Kingdom
When: June, after Plankton is impeached
Warnings: robot babies

[There’s something weird happening in Tomorrowland.

You see, with all the chaos of the Plankton goblins and the mayoral nonsense, the events planning committee has been a little...weird. No planned festival or party this month - so someone else has taken it upon themselves to do it.

“It” being a robot baby race. But not just any robot baby race - a robot baby race to see who’s the fastest.

Out in Tomorrowland you’ll find an odd-looking man in an awful Incredibles-jumpsuit - his nametag reads “Randy”. He has placed a large can of old robot parts and miscellaneous garbage out and labeled them “BUILD YOUR BABY”. There’s a track set across Tomorrowland labeled “INCREDIBLES BABIES RACE HERE.”

He calls out to those who walk by.]

Whoever builds the fastest baby shall win a prize! A grand prize! My favorite kind of prize!

[takes out

a card]

[rech]

Hello there, young one! Have you come for the baby race?

[...goddamnit freddie]

[andbegone]

Is the prize mayorship of the city?

[because this is obviously the best thing to do in lieu of another election]

[rech]

....yeeeeessssss.

[itsthecount]

Pssh.

[Count Olaf is casually leaning up against a nearby wall, hiding behind a newspaper with a headline of "COUNT OLAF NOWHERE TO BE SEEN, EXCEPT FOR TOMORROWLAND PROBABLY"]

Hardly an exciting thing to do after losing your mayoral title.

[marryapanther]

Haven't you learned your lesson yet.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Don't you know when to quit?

[kindaruledatit]

[Halfheartedly raises a hand.]

So, do we have to build a baby with legs? Are wheels an option?

[rech]

Wheel babies are entirely permitted.

[muppetlabs]

Excellent! I'll get started right away.

[Building chaotic contraptions???? Bunsen's city now]

Wait...Are we allowed to build robotic contraptions in the likeness of existing people?

[This may or may not be important, but it can't hurt to ask, right?]

[rech]

Only if they are babies. Or a baby version of a person.

[mister_mystery]

Baby fights? Well say no more, Footbot junior here I come!

[He's not much of a builder but Stan sure is going ham with these mechanical junk parts. While he's at it, he's gotta ask.]

What'sa prize, by the way?

[rech]

...you shall become king of the Magic Kingdom. The castle shall be your's.

[ilovepuppies]

[On one hand, robots.

On the other hand, Randall.]

Please tell me you're not the new mayor.

[rech]

I wish.

[lusito]

What in the hell are you wearing?

[Because clearly this is the most important question here.]

[rech]

My cast member uniform. And a skinsuit.

[marryapanther]

[Guess who has no oposable thumbs or any idea how a robot even works, much less how to build one!]

I believe I'll stay on the sidelines for... Whatever this is.

[By which he means he'll be spending the entire race trashtalking whatever abomination Plankton comes up with. Feel free to try to recruit him to support you and your future robot baby, though it's not like he can do a lot to help.]

[rech]

Boo.

[flowersonthewall]

[OH GOD finally something Beaker is good at. Building shit.

He's a little stressed out and overworked from all the effort he's been putting into setting up a network system but he's willing to take a break from setting it up to screw around with making his own baby bot. Even if it's not much of a "break" to go from building one thing to building something else.]

[ilovepuppies]

[Oh hi Meep Man, Star's just gonna creep over your shoulder.]

You should add a laser.

[tacticalespionageaction]

Hmm...baby racing, huh?

[He's eyeing up the "BUILD YOUR BABY" station with a wary curiosity. Les Enfants Terribles indeed.]

[stinkypete]

[Hmmm. Pete likes the look of this guy. Tough, grizzled, and if he remembers correctly from the employee profiles, his security coworker. If he's going to survive in this city, he's going to have to make competent allies...for now.

He saunters on over to Snake and roughly clasps a gloved hand on his shoulder. A broad, genuine-looking grin is affixed to Pete's face. Just a giant cat coming over to talk to you, no big deal.]

Hello, there! Mind if I help out? Y'see, I'm kinda new to this city, and you look like a guy who knows what he's doing!

[Don't lay it on too thick, Pete. Just go with the flow.]

[stinkypete]

...

[Turns to look towards the person closest to him.]

I thought events at Disneyworld were s'pposed to be fun.

[rech]

This is very fun.

[standingonmyneck]

[...]

Why babies?

[rech]

They're funny.

[noncomformist]

Ew, no asshole. I won't make your dumb conformist babies.

[rech]

It's a race. A race to see who's the fastest. With babies.

the baby race begins

[rech]

Everyone. Please place your babies down on the track, and we shall begin the race.

[true to his word, once everyone does so, he fires off a flare gun without counting down.]

...that meant start.

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy sets her baby down and lets it go.

Wendy Jr immediately zips down the track... before immediately turning and smacking into a nearby wall.]

Aw, c'mon!
