When: 6/24, mostly, with an option for 6/22-6/23!

0.5: Wildcard: The days before;

[on the 22nd and 23rd, things aren’t so bad. The stahnbots are looking and acting more like him by the day; bright and full of sunshine, but still dutiful. they help him with his shopping, partner up with him for multiplayer arcade games, and order all the right foods for lunch.

he’ll be out running errands and vigilantly teaching his robots everything that they need to know with a smile. There are plenty of times and opportunities to run into him and the bots and either balk or be completely amused at the sheer about of sunshine, smiles and mullets are happening in one place.]

I: Morning: Residential District;

[so far, so good. sure, it was a bit of a mistake to activate the two robots without knowing what would happen, but up until today? it’s been pretty cool! well, to stahn, at least. leon and dymlos both have clearly been exasperated by dealing with three stahns, but that’s fine.]

It’s okay, Stahnbot! I can go to work myself, you don’t have to go for me! [currently, he’s sitting on a bench at the edge of a part near one of the apartment buildings. one stahnbot is unwrapping a sandwich and handing it to the real(?) stahn. the other is eyeing dymlos and maybe reaching out for him. The sword is propped up against the bench next to the real stahn.

—suspicious.]

That’s my job though! I really don’t mind.

[so while stahn has a light argument with himself, he’s very distracted and is hardly noticing that the third is trying to make off with his sword.

help him.]

II-A: Afternoon: Just about anywhere in the city;

[there is a stahn coming your way. the thing is? there’s no telling which stahn it is. is he real? is it one of the robots? who knows. There’s one deciding factor, and that’s whether or not he’s got dymlos. only one stahn will be carrying dymlos. And those capable of hearing dymlos may notice that he’s quiet. well, even more quiet than usual.

either way, he seems to have boundless energy and a wide grin as he approaches.]

Hey! Do you have a minute to help me with something?

II-B: Afternoon: Just about anywhere in the city;

[there’s a stahn coming your way, but unlike the others that are running around, stahn isn’t as full of sunshine. He’s breathless, almost haggard… and noticeably missing that sword he always carries around with him.]

Hey… I need some help. Do you have a minute?

[wow, it’s like deja vu or something.]

III: Early Evening; Shopping District

[those who can hear dymlos will hear the booming sound of his voice yelling ”STAHN!” once he’s within close range to the real stahn. And naturally, stahn uses that as his guide, eventually leading him to a face-off with his two robot-doubles, one of which is carrying the sword.

of course, the robots still can’t hear dymlos, which makes this an interesting way for things to go down. For once, stahn himself isn’t a barrel of sunshine, he actually looks pretty pissed off.]

You guys may have had fun, but that’s enough. You can’t have Dymlos! You can’t even hear Dymlos! To you… he’s just a sword that makes you more like me, isn’t he? [he actually sounds a little hurt by this—he may be dumb sometimes, but he can see that they’re just taking the imitation too far, though he’s not sure how to deal with it.]

Give him back to me… come on! [he needs help, primarily because he doesn’t want to cause a scene when there are innocent people shopping and minding their business. the swordless stahnbot can’t his head to the side, while the other responds:]

Huh? But Dymlos is mine. I don’t think I have to give away something that’s mine… do I?

[the bots are equally as confused. This is what happens when a pure bean makes pure bean robot clones: none of them are malicious, but they don’t seem very willing to give in.

help. he needs so much help right now.]

Comments

[majinken]

[it's close enough, considering that's where he first lost track of them in the first place. and while he doesn't think they'll cause anyone harm—people may mistake them for him.

and, well, one of them has dymlos. and when a robot has your sentient sword when they can't even communicate with it? that's kind of a problem. stahn is going to get such a lecture later for that one...]

That would be great! [he sounds relieved, if anything. but he's definitely worked up a little too much over this right now. so after a second, he'll add.] I hope it's not too much trouble! I know I just stopped you here but... one of them has something really important, and I need to get it back!

[asteraceaes]

[ Shion shakes his head and only offers a friendly smile. ]

Oh, it's perfectly fine! I don't have anything to do for the rest of the day anyway. [ except... read? also watch over his robot, uhh... damn, if peoples' robots are giving people like Stahn this much trouble... he hopes his is okay. ]

So lets go back! [ he turns around to already head off with Stahn but then he remembers something. ] oh... And did you say 'both of them'?

[ there's... two!? ]

[majinken]

Thanks... really, it's a lot of help.

[he honestly appreciates the offer for help—sure, he would do the same for a stranger if they asked for help in this situation too, but it doesn't really mean he expects anyone to go above and beyond for him in return.

of course, shion raises a good point and asks a very good question. and a mildly embarrassing one to answer. naturally, if he knew things would end up this way, he wouldn't have activated both his and leon's bots. oops.]

Ehh... yeah. I turned on my friend's too when they arrived since he wasn't home... [he ruffles his hand through his hair, laughing out an exasperated laugh. once again: oops.]

[asteraceaes]

Oh, gosh... Does he know you activated his?

[ just out of mild curiosity really... ] I know mine started to look like me lately - which is kind of unnerving to be honest. It's weird to look at yourself, especially not in a mirror. [ he laughs that off, because... lord. it's just awkward to him!? ]

So... Does it look like you or your friend?

[ now the answer to that will make the search easier or harder. ]

[majinken]

Yeah, mine is like that too... It wasn't so bad at first, but now, I think it's just too much.

[he can deal with them looking like him, and he can deal with them acting like him, generally. it's fun to have a bit of company that's like-minded sometimes! but now it's gone too far, taking dymlos is sort of the last straw.]

I think it'd be hard for him not to know by now... it's been a few days! And.. they both look like me. And act like me too! [it's triple the stahn in the aileron-magnus household, much to leon's chagrin.] I really didn't know that's what would happen at all at the time.

[asteraceaes]

I think it's kind of amazing - this kind of technology, I mean. Someone I knew was able to make robots, but not on this level.

[ he finds it interesting and fascinating. but still. he just... doesn't want to look at an exact copy of himself. so his feelings are mixed, at least!

but oh geez... so that means there are two other copies of this guy. Shion can only blink... this is going to be tough! ]

Wow... Huh... Are we looking for both of them or a certain one?

[majinken]

Yeah... we don't have anything like this where I'm from, so it's always pretty surprising...

[some of the technology is really amazing to stahn—most of it is, actually. things like trains and neon lights, the cerevices, movie theaters—that stuff is all incredible. even a lot of the robots wouldn't be so bad if they weren't causing trouble for him and maybe preparing to steal his identity.

which means there is too much sunshine running around, though the other two are definitely in a much better mood than stahn is at the moment.]

I need to find them both but... [he's not going to make shion go through all of that.] If I can just find one for now, it'll work.

[which he will actually explain, he's not that bad.] One of them ran off with my sword, and it's really important I get him back.

[asteraceaes]

Woah... That's almost impossible to imagine.

[ but Shion tries to keep an open mind. though, the idea that there are possibly other worlds that are far different from his... it's really something! he really wants to learn more about it, but focus... he has to focus right now and help Stahn! ]

So that's why you were so frantic earlier.

[ he honestly doesn't understand why such possessions are so important, but if it is then it is. simple as that. it seems like a lot of people have swords here - he did meet another one earlier if he recalls (that was Leon, Shion). ]

Oh, I have an idea! Does it respond to your name, maybe if we call for, err... "You", it might respond. Also, I didn't get to introduce myself, haha... I'm Shion.

[majinken]

[stahn would definitely be up for exhanging world differences when they're not trying to chase down a couple of rogue robots—that stuff is interesting to him too, even if he doesn't always understand it. and baffling other people with some of the strange technologies of his world.

of course, there is the fact that stahn's sword isn't just a sword. dymlos isn't just an object, but a friend and comrade, and stahn is also his master. it's a big deal, especially because the robots are unable to communicate with him. explaining that is too much at this point though, since he rarely talks about dymlos to people he's just met anyway.]

Oh... right! I guess I got caught up in finding them that it kind of slipped my mind. [ha...] It's nice to meet you, Shion. I'm Stahn, Stahn Aileron!

[and to get back on topic here:] I don't know what they'll answer to right now. I was just calling them Stahnbots until I came up with something better, but with how they've been acting... [he cants his head to side thoughtfully.] Maybe they will answer to my name?
