[Voice] Nightmare Clockwork Zero Disassembly

What's with those particularly irritating robots? I was playing with some magic dirt to cheer myself up after that horrid time in the Labyrinth, and then they come along and begin pulling my stuff apart. I told them to stop but they don't understand me. And they're taking them apart so destructively they won't learn anything useful from them. At least they seem to be paying attention when I show them better ways to take things apart so they can at least learn how they work.

Now they're hanging around me, and I don't want to babysit a bunch of clueless robots. Someone take them off my hands. Find something to keep them busy so they don't keep bugging me. I don't have the time to keep making things for them to take apart and put back together.

If you teach them to stop doing it, they should stop.

I-I'm already babysitting four of them in my house, so... I-I can't be much help. Sorry.

[identity profile] yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-05-03 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that should do it. Good luck!

... nightmare?

[identity profile] yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com 2011-05-03 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, I'm just a normal human, so I'd have to hire mooks instead of make them...

Well, if you can get good mooks... ... w-well, I guess they're not mooks if they're good, huh?

Oh, right... I guess that makes sense.

We've already got a bunch at the fort, but I guess I could take on a few more. It's actually getting kind of fun.

The only problem's going to be thinking of more stuff for them to do. They're worse than herding dogs. I'm almost tempted to see if they want to play fetch.



...no, I'm not going to stop playing with you just because of them... Sorry about that.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-03 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm guessing you can't scare them, either, right?

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess if that's your only entertainment... [Jessica can't conceive how trainable robots could possibly be boring, but some people just insist on remaining unenlightened.]

I'm not even sure what would scare a robot if it had the capacity to think. Lemonade, maybe.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...unfortunately, the workings appear to make about as much sense as anything else here. They're still neat, though. And cute. [Jessica will defend the robots even from her own logic!]

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Given your, uh, background? I'm not sure it's even a thing for you. It'd probably be bad for a Nightmare to think of things as cute. Makes them harder to do not-nice things to.

How do you guys reproduce, anyway? Assuming you do.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Out of stuff, or... like eggs or something?

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

...which just further supports my theory that the Queen is completely insane, since I'm assuming that without any sort of sexual reproduction you guys would have no real romance.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
And it sounds like that sort of thing is definitely not your department, right?

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Curiosity's pretty cool. I'm, uh, not all about terror, but... I guess that's kind of a default for nightmare people, so I'm not going to argue.

I still feel weird talking to a dream-person. But then I feel weird talking to just about everyone here.

Understatement of the milennium.

Anyway, I'll just wait here for your delivery of adorable robotic pests.

Robots? So that's what these creatures are called. If you're having trouble, miss, I wouldn't mind helping out.

I don't have a place of residence at the moment, so perhaps it's better if I cam and found you...?

I'd be happy to take them from you, if they're causing problems. I don't mind looking after them.

I'm glad you were able to teach them to behave somewhat more constructively.
