[The video screen turns on to a familiar, if still somewhat dented copper face, grinning brightly into the screen. He then steps off to the side, and sharply tugs another, slightly taller figure in, trying to position him directly in front of the screen]

C'mon, Spine! Ya gotta do it! Say hello ta everyone!

[Said slightly taller figure may just have an exasperated look on his face.]

Rabbit, I don't think--

[Oh. The feed is already active. Well, that's just... great. The Spine adjusts his tie and gives the screen his best 'no really all according to plan' smile.]

Ah... Hello! [Does he sound like he still thinks this is a bad idea? Yes. Yes he does.] My name is The Spine. Rabbit why're we doin' this.


[Because you gotta, that's why. Older brother says so. He just keeps grinning, knowing full well that The Spine would have to go along with it now that he was in front of the camera.]

An' i-if any of ya di-di-didn't know, I'm Rabbit!

[Wait there was more to this. Rabbit just kept going, ignoring his brothers discomfort]

An' for your entertainment t-t-t-t-today, I'm g-gonna ma-make the both of us disappear!

[All right, so this wasn't so bad so far, although Spine still didn't think it was wise.

...Wait, what.]

And, uh, just how do you plan on doin' that, Rabbit?

[He has a bad, bad feeling about this.]


[Rabbit leans in, resting one hand on The Spine's front, and the other on his shoulder]

A ma-magician ne-never reveals their se-secrets, Spine. But if ya really mu-must know...

[He glances around conspiratorially... Before slowly reaching up... And yanking off both hat and wig, shooting down the hall with a victorious whoop]

[You're getting an odd look, buddy. Whatever you're planning, he's ready for it.

Or... not.]

What the--RABBIT! Get back here, you--

[He makes a grab for Rabbit's collar. Too slow. The feed gets a glimpse of an irritated profile. Then there's a blur of silver-and-black (was that an elbow?) and the receding sound of heavy footsteps gaining speed.]


[And woe upon anyone else in the Dormitory areas. All of them. Because there are now two stampeding robots charging up and down the hall, Rabbit occsionally trying to lose The Spine. He will eventually stop, sneaking up to another terminal, wig and hat still firmly in hand]

O-one heckuva ma-magic trick, huh?

[Applause!!]

That was really good! I didn't expect that.

[Video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Yep! T-too bad I can o-o-only do it once.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

It's still really funny.

[Video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

G-glad ya think so, Sweetheart! It's o-on ta bi-bigger an' better things from here.

[voice]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Oh good grief, someone's applauding. Way to encourage the crazy.]

... You're kiddin'.

[voice]

[heavenscorpse]

He made you disappear.

[No, she's serious.]

[voice]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Oh she's serious. Just let him... pinch the bridge of his nose and puff steam out his vents in a sigh.]

He stole my stuff and ran away. I know it might've looked like it, but he didn't actually make me disappear at all. Just run, which technically isn't somethin' I'm supposed to do too often.

[video]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Whoops, someone's paused at a different terminal. There's a definite air of strained composure about The Spine, but he's trying. Oh lawd is he trying.]

Yep. Great trick, Rabbit. Now if you're done I'd like my hat and hair back.

[video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

You hafta fi-find me, Spine.

'Sides, ya l-look good like this!

[video]

[awfulsentimetal]

When did keep away turn into hide-and-seek?

[... He's not even going to dignify that last comment with a response 'cause no he doesn't shut up Rabbit gimme my hat back]

[video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Ju-ju-just now!

Ca-catch me if ya ca-can, Spine!

action;

[perceivesjustice]

[Walking through the halls isn't really proving to be a good idea as the two robots race around. Apollo manages to recognize the Spine, however, before he turns on his heel and leaves. So there appears to be... two of them?

He looks halfway between saying something and leaving, but one thing's for sure-- he's situated in the middle of the hallway now, face frozen in a deer-in-headlights expression.]

action;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Oops there's a human in the way.

And Rabbit, quite amazingly for someone his age, takes a flying vaulting leap, and hurls himself over one of Apollo's shoulders, rolling around a bit before scampering to his feet again. Lost a few bolts but still goin'!]

action;

[perceivesjustice]

[With a yelp, he squats to try and avoid any sort of contact. He flinches at the sound of Rabbit making impact with the floor before turning to face him.]

S-Sir! Are you okay?

action;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Ju-just fine! Never be-better! Keep standin' there, buddy!

[And block The Spine, Rabbit is pretty sure he's not as good a jumper as he is.]

[action]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Annnnd not long after Rabbit's disappeared along comes The Spine. His arrival is heralded by the thumping of heavy feet.

Unfortunately he isn't as nimble as the copper automaton, but he doesn't want to squish anyone, either; he'll reach out and spin Apollo to the side if he doesn't get out of the way himself.]

[action]

[perceivesjustice]

[The sound of heavy footsteps catches Apollo's attention, and he looks up in time to see The Spine headed his way. With a very dignified noise of surprise, he just barely manages to dodge.]

H-Hey! Be careful!

[action]

[awfulsentimetal]

[The automaton slows but doesn't stop, glancing back over his shoulder.]

Sorry, Mister Justice! Can't stop, got a wild Rabbit to catch!

[inspector_link]

[Oh... another robot. And the new one appears to be insane.]

video

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Yeah Rabbit's cracked]

H-heya! How ya d-d-doin'?

Re: video

[inspector_link]

[Oh, dear.]

Hello, Mister Rabbit.

video

[spaghettiinmysoul]

How's it g-g-goin' over there? See Spine?

[voice]

[awfulsentimetal]

Judgin' by your face you caught that little trick. If you happen to be in the dormitory area and spot Rabbit I'd be obliged if you'd let me know where he's at.

[It isn't cheating because he didn't sign on to play the game in the first place. So there. :T]

[video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[IS SO CHEATING]

H-hey! No askin' fer di-directions!

[video]

[inspector_link]

Of course.

... Are there more robots here like the two of you?
