[So Rabbit has come to a sobering conclusion.]

So. We ain't re-re-real.

[This only means one thing]

Nuthin' here is real.

[And further more]

So I don't gotta act like it is real.

[Which is why he is boldly and uncaringly standing in front of a terminal. Stark. Naked.]

I can do whatever I want. S'all fa-fake anyway. Who's gonna stop me?

Comments

[Video... FOR NOW.]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Who's gonna stop him? Well now. Who has two perfectly ordinary robotic thumbs and a brotherly duty to do so?

THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.]

Rabbit! Put some clothes on, for Walter's sake!

[video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Nope. Don't gotta.

It ain't re-re-real anyway.

[video]

[awfulsentimetal]

Just because we're not--

[Normal. Themselves. Something. It was still a lot to deal with, even if he was taking it rather well. Discovering that you have a soul takes some of the terror out of losing one's body.]

--ourselves doesn't mean we get to throw common decency out the window. At least put some pants on.

[video]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Ain't like I got a-anything t'show anyway. Who's it g-g-gonna offend huh? No one.

I ain't pu-puttin' nuthin' on.

[France doesn't normally go near computers, but today, clicking through just to see what's on there, he's glad he did. His eyes widen immediately, and he doesn't even give a thought to the fact that it's a robot getting naked on the screen (after the glamour failure, nothing seems that strange any more). He starts up his own feed with minimal fumbling.]

You're right!

[In a flash, France is standing naked at his own terminal, with only a rose covering his... most intimate area. He spreads his arms over his head and looks happier than he's seemed in weeks.]

Why should we limit ourselves? Nothing feels better than enjoying life without inhibitions. You're on the right track here, mon ami. Everyone should take a page from your book!

[spaghettiinmysoul]

E-e-e-e-exactly! Ain't no one gotta we-we-wear pants if they don't wanna!

It's all a sham anyway! We ca-ca-can do what we want!

video

[silencetoreason]

The pants aren't real! Let's not burden ourselves with fake trousers or fake notions of decency!

[And here he sets his hands on his waist and flashes his naked companion a wink.]

The only decent thing to do is to follow your heart, after all.

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Somethin' I a-always do~.

[Rabbit copies the pose!]

Ain't nu-nuthin' t'be ashamed about!

[awfulsentimetal]

[Thank everything that was good for that rose. That rose is The Spine's best friend. That rose had better stay put for a good long while.

Photo-receptors firmly on France's face. They are not budging an inch. Nope.]

Don't encourage him!

video

[spaghettiinmysoul]

F-f-f-freedom to do as we wa-want, Spine! FREEDOM TO CHOOSE!

The whole wo-world is my oyster!

video

[awfulsentimetal]

Do you even know what an oyster is?!

[madokacries]

[ KYAAAAAAAAAAA. Oh wait he's not... really really naked... r-right? It's rather fascinating, actually, like a robot.

But then, you know, still naked. ]

I-I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean t-to...! [ COVERING FACE WITH SHAME. ]

video;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[That's because he is a robot!]

D-d-d-didn't mean ta what? What's wrong?

... Ain't n-nuthin' ta see! Hey! Stop hidin' over there!

video;

[madokacries]

N-no, I-- Aah-

U-um! I-I'm sorry!

[ IT'S A TALKING NAKED ROBOT HIT THE PANIC BUTTON MADOKA. ]

video;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[AND HE'S LEANING OVER THE TERMINAL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS]

Whatcha apologizin' f-fer, sweetheart? Ya didn't do nuthin' wrong! Yer fine!

video;

[awfulsentimetal]

[Have a very apologetic silver face on your screen, Madoka. Complete with fedora off and held to his chest.]

I'm very sorry about this, miss.

video;

[madokacries]

O-oh no, u-um! I-it's quite a-alright!

[ alshdfalsiw. This is more or less her train of thought as she waves her hands rapidly to try and get him to be less sorry when this isn't his fault.]

Things h-happen, so!

[He's not wearing his suit anymore they have nothing in common now.

However, Apollo isn't traumatized or anything of the sort. He's... Fascinated, really.]

Well, the people around you still exist to an extent, sir. While not... physically, I guess, their emotions are still in tact.

Though I think the effect you're going for here is lost since there's nothing particularly offensive being displayed.

video;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

N-n-no I know there ain't nuthin' t'see.

Try tellin' Spine that though.

video;

[perceivesjustice]

[A chuckle.] Even if there's nothing to see, there's still something weird about seeing your brother, who's normally clothed, suddenly "naked" for everyone to see.

video;

[awfulsentimetal]

[Don't tell him that. Why are you telling him that? Now Spine will never get him to put his clothes back on.]

Hello, Mister Justice.

video;

[perceivesjustice]

Hello, Spine. How have you been?

[He's done nothing wrong, no need to look at him like that!]

video;

[blackwitch]

....

That's your response?

[ Honestly, it's not like she can't somewhat appreciate it, at least it's different from the usual boring stuff, but.. still. Seriously? ]

This is why all men are stupid. And robots, I guess.

video;

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Seriously this seemed like the most logical approach]

Y-yeah.

What's the p-p-point o' wearin' clothes if ya don't have to? I mean, s'all fake anyway.

It's only buggin' The Spine an' one lady. No one else ca-cares. It ain't like there's pants police here.

[blackwitch]

[ .. The Spine? Ah, well, it would figure they would know each other.. although she likes him a lot more than this annoying robot. ]

There's such a thing as common decency! [ Says the girl who violently murders things all the time. Her priorities are weird, okay. ] Acting like this just shows everyone you're a moron who deserves to give up and die!
