When: 6/24, mostly, with an option for 6/22-6/23!
Where: Various
What: Stahn activated his robot… and Leon’s (oops). Did Cerealia need this much sunshine (or hair) running around? Probably not, but it’s happening.
Rating/Warning:None, there is too much purity here.

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]

[they're behaving themselves... or it looks like they are, at least. they seem to be whispering to one another, but they're staying close enough for the time being.]

He's... not happy about it at all. [things have been pretty tense, honestly. that's definitely not helping things, either. leon's been pretty aggravated this whole time, which makes him snappier and more avoidant than usual.]

[mombastic]

I can imagine... well. There's honestly not much we can do about it at this point, and I've already promised repeatedly that I'd be careful...

[ OH WELL. ]

[majinken]

[stahn nods, he won't give her the same warning when even he knows he's probably in worse shape right now.]

Mm... I wouldn't have done it if I knew things would be like this. I thought it would help Leon out, but... [obviously not.]

[mombastic]

It's all right. [ And she'll squeeze his shoulder, gently. ]

If nothing else, I'm certain that Leon knows you meant well.

[ So he'll have to stop grumping eventually. Maybe. ]

[majinken]

Mm... maybe he does.

[likely, considering the fact that leon knows he never does anything out of bad intentions. but it still feels kind of crappy when he's been working so hard to try and mend things between them.

adding that with just the general stress of the bots is catching up with him a bit so stahn is just... tired. it's harder to keep the facade up with otome too, because she's good at seeing through it.]

It'll probably be a while before he stops being so mad, though.

[mombastic]

You're always welcome to come talk to me if you'd like a breather, then. Or if you'd rather swap out so he can scold me instead.

[ ... It'll happen, for as blithely as she says it. But hopefully Leon doesn't lose his temper too much when Stahn's already this stressed. Two doubles of him likely isn't making this easier. ]

[majinken]

No... it's okay. I don't want him scolding you, either.

[stahn shakes his head pretty firmly at that—there's no reason for him to yell at her, so stahn isn't going to accept her being some kind of stand-in.] I can handle it.

[mombastic]

Mm. Just remember-- [ Affectionate hair ruffle? Yep. At least one of them is okay with physical touch! ]

You don't have to handle it alone, okay?

[majinken]

[well, that brings a little smile to his face. he doesn't mind the touch, and he doesn't really mind people touching his hair as long as they're not trying to cut it.]

I know... But I can handle Leon. I won't let him yell at you when it's me he wants to yell at.

[mombastic]

It'd be nice if he didn't yell at all... but it is what it is.

[ She'll just remember to continuously check in on them, just in case. ]

[majinken]

It's hard to imagine Leon not yelling...

[he says with a weak laugh; he doesn't usually mind the fussing or the lectures. stahn is just tired right now, though.]

[mombastic]

[ She doesn't blame him-- which is why she's calling over to the bots. ]

Come on, boys! It's Group Resting Time!

[ IT'S RATHER NECESSARY. ]

[majinken]

Group... resting time?

[stahn asks, clearly puzzled. and this is a sentiment that is clearly mimicked in the stahnbots, who tilt their head to the side in unison. whatcha talkin' about, mom?]

[mombastic]

Mm-hm! We're all going to find a nice quiet spot and sit and get our energy back. It's an incredibly important part of the day.

[majinken]

...That sounds like a good idea.

[and a good way to keep the robots in line for a bit, if nothing else.

not... that robots needs rest. but they don't seem to be very willing to disobey otome right now, for whatever that may be worth.]

[mombastic]

[ That's excellent, they learn so fast-- but Otome smiles approvingly, waving as she turns to lead the way. There's probably a park or something close by, and then Stahn should finally get a breather and the robots should stay in one place. ]
