shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

God, I wish. Nah, she's got eyes like a hawk still, snipes people from her wheelchair. Pretty good at it, honestly. And nobody suspects granny. Doesn't take contracts too often these days, I guess her great grandkids want to hang out with her or something? Great cookies, though.

[Jordi hauls him across the bartop so that Marcus is closer, then starts scratching up under his chin. Boyfriend: hacked.]

 

That's terrifying. Bet she charges a ton.

*He's not freaking out you're freaking out, but the scratching does help. Being a person again is hard, especially after all that shit.* Is this your way of asking me to be a cat again? Because if you're not careful I just might.

 

That's not the kind of stuff that makes this any more in good taste. If it's absolutely necessary, fine, but it really sounds more like somethign that Parisian Joker knockoff would come up with and I'd rather stay as far away from that comparison as possible.

I don't have time for sci-fi, I watch the news while I work out.

Care to demonstrate on yourself because otherwise I'm fairly sure it won't be much help.

 

*Overhears this* WHOA! How COULD you! *False indignation, wonderful cover up for a panic attack. Yes, thank you Batman you serve the public once more*

 

-rather slowly, but not in a reluctant way, more of a 'trying to figure it out' way-
I could, but someone would have to put me back together again afterwards.

 

[Vector shrugs. His popcorn has mysteriously vanished.] I'm not perfect. Should something get out of my jurisdiction and into yours, I'd rather you have some idea what you're up against, if you even remember what you dream in here.

Excuse you, sir. What happened to "let's not with the dismembering"?

 

Unless Star Trek is part of the clues for a new case I fear I really don't.

... It was... a joke...?
[... And this, dear people of Gotham, is why he's not a Joey, but an Aerialist.]

 

Ugh. Please tell me you don't read the newspaper.

It's the cape. Makes you look like a guy with no sense of humor.
-tugs on said cape obnoxiously-

 

-slow stare-
...So do you want me to take myself apart or not? I don't... understand.
-dammit this is why he usually has someone else do his talking for him-

 

No, boltlet, we're not dismembering anyone here. [He has no idea who the new kid is but they're his kid now.]

 

Of course I read the newspaper with my morning coffee. You need to stay informed. It's very important for a detective.

[He snickers, elbowing Jaosn in the side in retaliation.]
Oh, like your helmet makes you look like guy with no sense for aesthetics?

Please do not take yourself apart. Please.

 

Oh.
-he seems mildly annoyed, as though they're stopping him doing something he's now quite interested in doing-
I do know how to take a mech apart, though.

 

-fake seriously-
You better let me take a look under that cowl, see how many grays you're getting there, old man.

Hey, just because my aesthetic is more Robert Rodriguez than H. R. Geiger doesn't mean I don't got one.

 

I'm sure. It's become something of a science-- you're... what, somewhere in Primax Gamma, aren't you? I'd wager somewhere in the 1005s, even. War's good for finding new and inventive ways to take people apart.

 

I mean, I never get any of my shit from the news really. You got time for movies between that!

 

I don't know what that means. But I was built to take people apart. So of course I know how to do it.
I don't do it since me and FF got on this ship though. There's enough fuel and no-one needs a new frame and there's only been one corpse.

 

That's... very nice.

Only trying to match your look, since you had to match mine as a kid.

I think Robin wanted to watch one of those movies last week. Let me tell you how much kid sidekicks break your brain when it comes to movie ratings. It's kind of ridiculous.

 

.... I think you are underestimating my usual workload, kid.

 

Only one corpse sounds admirably restrained for a ship in your universe, to be honest.

 

Though I've only done it to dead mechs. So if you wanted instructions on living ones you would have to stop them wiggling.

FF says it's good. I suppose it's good. I only took people apart because people needed fuel and new frames. But none of the fuel FF gives out now comes from corpses.
