[open] I know I'm like a machine

[zerotohiro]

Who: bropane, zerotohiro, a couple of robots and YOU! (tag order of you-Hiro-Tadashi)
When: IC 6/20-6/25 aka during the first part of the Love Your Double event
Where: The park, mostly
What: Brotherly bonding after the Hamadapocalypse, CYBuddy testing, and silly robot things.
Rating/Warning: Rated B for “Bro. Bro. Broooo.”



[So it’s a normal day like any other day in Cerealia when things go awry. While Hiro had activated his robot “for science”, Tadashi chose not to activate it. So instead…well instead, Baymax chose to activate it for him. That totally went well. Over the course of the next couple of days, people can find the brothers (and sometimes their robots) in a variety of situations.

a.) Even after everything that’s happened between them, both of them have been feeling like they need to bond more. What better way than to play a game of soccer? It’s very possible that the ball goes awry and Hiro gets nailed in the face. It’s also very possible that Hiro’s doing the kicking and you may get hit in the face. Heads up!

b.) So what happens when you have two Hiros and two Baymaxes? It becomes a hassle and poor, poor Tadashi has to keep up with all four of them. You may be approached by one or both Baymaxes and promptly greeted. You may also encounter Hiro-bot who will ask you a barrage of questions until his master or Tadashi come to rescue you. Or you may just encounter two weary Hamadas who need a break.

c.) You know what’s even better than a bunch of robots? CYBuddies! Based on Tadashi’s announcement to the network, the boys are in the park in a make-shift arena to host a demonstration of how the fighter-companion CYBuddies work. Up for a show? Come check it out, pick an animal (a red lizard, a turtle, or some kind of green reptile), and watch how they work.

d.) Wildcard! All you really need to know is that both of these idiots are feeling the effects of being way more affectionate than normal and robot-Baymax is just as curious and squishy as normal-Baymax.

There may also be a stray CYBuddy running around. Do them a solid and return it to them, would you?]

[Edgeworth was minding his own business, walking his dog and not really minding the snatches of white feathers from the corner of his eye. That was probably nothing. It was a good day, so off he goes with his hairy baby dog.

That is, until one of the Baymaxes suddenly approaches him, blocking his path. He blinks, staring up at it. THAT is most certainly not one of the butler bots. It's big, but admittedly didn't look too dangerous or fierce...

Edgeworth glances down at Pess, already beginning to sniff Baymax's legs. Don't worry, the dog isn't going to pee on them.]

[zerotohiro]

[The trouble is that the Baymax that's approached Edgeworth is the CERES-brand robot and he solely approached because he spotted the dog. He's seen how Baymax treats Mochi and the Hamadas so when he appears he gives a circular wave.]

Hello. Your dog appears to be curious. Are all dogs curious?

[Hiro and Hiro-bot are keeping the real Baymax a little too busy (more like Hiro-bot is making Baymax chase him and Hiro has to keep track of Baymax.) This one will have to be in Tadashi's care for a moment, though Edgeworth can probably hear Hiro yelling from another part of the park.]

[Those Hamadas and their crazy CYBuddies. Weiss swears that Tadashi is going to burn someone's house down with one of those things eventually. But if they're having that much fun with them, then maybe they aren't that dumb.

The other Weiss, however, is far more interested in the mechanical pets. Wearing an off-centered rendition of the heiress' usual outfit, along with a white flowered mask, the doppelganger rushes to the brothers' makeshift arena at a full sprint before dropping to her knees to examine their work.]

Which one freezes your victim in the blink of an eye? Those are my favorite.

[zerotohiro]

[The real Hiro is pumping himself up for the battle, stretching out and making sure he's prepared, while the robot-version...is having a conversation with the three starter CYBuddies. Robots speak their own language and when the bot hears Weiss-bot, he looks up and grins widely.

That should be the first clue that this isn't the real Hiro Hamada.]

The turtle sprays water. I bet you could freeze that if you were fast enough. Wanna try it?

[And when Hiro hears who his double is talking to he looks up. At first he doesn't realize it's Weiss's robot. All he hones in on is that mask. To his credit, at least he doesn't scream. But he does end up bolting and jumping up on Tadashi's back to make sure she stays very far away from him while she's wearing that. God. Didn't Weiss say she got rid of that mask? (He'll figure out it's not the same one soon when he's not panicking over the fact it's a mask.)]

[ thankfully, steven has no duplicate robots to speak of... but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have any robot-like creatures at all. he's taken to having metagross at his side at almost all times since this whole fiasco started - not just for his protection, but for others as well if something goes wrong.

thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case as they're walking around the park. he hasn't met hiro as of yet, but seeing tadashi and those oddly familiar-looking CYbuddies are enough to have both of them approach. ]

I see the project is coming along well.

[zerotohiro]

[You really know the way to a nerd's heart don't you Steven. While Hiro's robot is busy making sure the CYBuddies are prepared for battle, the real Hiro immediately spots Steven and Metagross.]

Whoa. [And up he goes, immediately approaching the Pokemon to get a better look. Oh, right, Steven actually said something.] Yeah, you could say that. Tadashi's put a lot of work into making these things. We're doing some field-testing today. [Proud baby brother? Proud baby brother.]

[The minute the robots were delivered to them is the minute Neji decides that the less time he spends around Rock Lee (and now, company), the more he'll remember to appreciate the guy in the future. It's out of love, really, that he's looking for literally any excuse to keep from returning to their shared apartment.

That's what led him here, dressed in all-black as if he's about to head to the gym or dojo. He'd already seen the two brothers playing as he approached and made to move around so as to not intrude, so it's not a huge surprise when Neji catches sight of something shooting towards him out the corner of his eyes and he

just manages to whip around catch the zooming ball before it hits him. Ah-]

Is this yours?

[zerotohiro]

[Before Hiro can even get a chance to say "heads up!", Neji catches the ball with lightning speed and he blinks in surprise. He shoots him an apologetic grin, jogging over to collect the ball again.]

Sorry. [And suddenly his tone is louder as he looks over his shoulder.] If Tadashi knew how to block a play, that wouldn't have happened! [Ahem.] Nice catch, dude.

a did you think I wouldn't

[immobileyes]

[ Okay. Okay, so the city is full of robots, despite her quickly getting rid of hers. And this has led to mostly minor shenanigans... for the most part, except almost being killed by a falling robot, but it's fine. Mary's just taking one of her usual walks to clear her head and not be confused by more robots and--

... Taking a ball to the face and falling over backwards.

THIS IS FINE. ]

me when receiving notif: "did mary get hit with the ball..." me reading notif: bless Kia

[zerotohiro]

[Mary please don't die through all of this, Hiro would be very upset. As it stands, he's very upset about the fact he just pegged her in the face with a rogue soccer ball and he yells a time-out to Tadashi to dash over. He doesn't crouch down or anything just yet but he's staring down at her.]

That's...not really how you're supposed to catch it. Are you okay?

[And shortly after there's also the squeaking of a robot approaching. Someone's injured! This is a job for Baymax...-bot. Hiro's still having trouble figuring out which robot is which since they look the same by now.]

a; for the sake of maximum scorn

[earthpulse]

Hey, watch it.

[ Instinctively, Edna whacks the incoming ball with her umbrella right back at them. (...How are they supposed to watch for someone invisible anyway???)

But unfortunately for the Hamada brothers, their resonance isn't up to snuff enough to detect that she's actually there, so it simply seems like a ball bounced off of thin air. ]

[zerotohiro]

[The ball flies back. Like. It just sails through the air back to them and Hiro's not at all prepared and winds up getting smacked in the face by his own ball.] Ow, hey! [He's bewildered suddenly, looking around for anything that might explain it while also rubbing at a red mark on his forehead.

That's rude, Edna.]

b!

[dirtdevil]

[ seeing a large marshmallow-bot waddling around is nothing unusual. he doesn't understand how Baymax works (like, at all), but being a friend of both Hamadas he's grown used to having him around, making random observations and giving out unsolicited health tips.

seeing two Baymaxes is definitely new. and it doesn't take a genius to tell that both brothers have their hands full with all this robot business. he's really glad he didn't bother with his.

...buuut maybe he should offer to help with theirs. ]

Even the robot got a robot?

[zerotohiro]

[Thanks for volunteering, Levi. Hiro stops running for a bit to observe the two robots, though it's clear he's worn out from trying to stop them from wandering on their own.]

The robot got a robot because Captain Nerdlord over there didn't activate it himself.

[encourageous]

[A pair of Taichis run up towards the soccer game.]

I thought I heard a soccer ball being kicked!

Your intuition is pretty cool, Master.

Oi! Hiro! Room for two more?

[zerotohiro]

[Oh, this oughta be good.]

Hey! You'd probably be a better match than just taking on Tadashi. [He pauses, grinning at the two Taichis.] I see yours is starting to really take on your dialect, too. [And where are the Hiro and Baymax-bots? We just don't know.]

[meouch]

[ robo-adrien is taking adrien's schedule too seriously. as a Professional Cat Herder, you see, it has a ton of interaction with cybuddies... and sure, the turtle he ends up finding isn't a cat, but it's learned that cybuddy on the loose = not bueno, so it's automatically making it's way back to the cat café with the turtle in tow.

... fortunately, adrien finds it before it gets too far.

so, this is how he's here. wandering around the park. holding a probably familiar looking turtle and approaching the first people who either look like they lost something or have something to do with robot turtles.

then he spots tadashi anddddd hiro. ah yes, of course this is the impression not!chat noir gets to make. robot thief. ]

Uh, hey— [ calling out, robo-self and turtle in tow and trying his best to keep every sliver of recognition out of his expression. he is not a superhero nope he is not a superhero... ] —Sorry, this is the part where I apologize for my... not myself? [ what does that even mean. ...no, there's really no way of making this sound nice. ] My robot took your turtle.

[ god it's not even his robot he never asked for this. ]

[zerotohiro]

[The problem is that when Adrien appears, it looks as though the two Hiros are also busy arguing with each other and Tadashi about the disappearance of their turtle buddy. It sounds like an argument about the speed of an enhanced cybuddy turtle but one can never be sure. Of course, when Adrien calls out both Hiros look in his direction, but the real Hiro's eyes light up in recognition....

...at the turtle. Only the turtle. Never met this guy before, never seen him in a million years.]

Hey! [And he's darting over, gesturing for Tadashi to follow. The Hiro-bot follows as well. (And the two Baymaxes? Well, they're around. They're watching the other cybuddies, too.)] Didn't you teach your robot not to steal what isn't his? [It's clear he's teasing, but he's definitely holding his hands out to take the turtle.]

[cresthopes]

[As Takeru, his new robot friend, and Patamon happened to be walking by? The both of them couldn't help but watch the intense game of soccer before them. In the back of his mind, he couldn't help but wonder if he should call over Taichi and have him join this game! It seems a lot like the type of sport he would really enjoy!

While Takeru was tempted to call his friend, his robot friend started intensely and wondering where the ball was suppose to go! Or at least until one was coming straight toward the robot's head!

...Whoops]

[zerotohiro]

Whoa, heads up! [The ball's soaring and Hiro's trying to...chase after it to take back the kick? That's not how soccer works, Hiro, but he's diving to try and catch it before he hits the ground. Ball noooo....but it's up to Tadashi now to try and stop the ball before it collides with the Takeru-bot's face!]

C!

[mysophobic]

[ Cybuddies really are the best. Shigeru can definitely get behind seeing a whole bunch of them with powers. But more importantly he is mainly there to watch and perhaps ask about how to get one. Maybe he could get his fox to spit fire?! Who knows but Shigeru looks pretty enamored with all the cute little cybuddies on display.

He's silent as he types something on his cerevice. ]

These are really cute! And they look pretty strong too. [ Uwah he wants to take them all home... ]

So I take it you're Tadashi?

[zerotohiro]

[Oh hey. He's not used to people besides the seraphs using the CereVice to communicate in person, but he doesn't seem to mind. He grins slightly though before he shakes his head. The Hiro-bot seems to be pinching the tail of the fire-lizard playfully as it hiccups a baby flame.]

Uh, no...actually he's my older brother. You must've heard about his post huh? [He turns his head to where Tadashi is.] Hey dude! [Heads up, bro. While they wait though he returns his attention back to Shigeru.] I'm Hiro. I'm just here to start testing these guys.

[reprizesal]

[One, Sayo saw the soccer ball and moved out of the way.

Two, his robot was right behind him and didn't move fast enough in time. Bonk and now it's fallen to the ground, holding its head with its hands. Sayo turned around and look at his robot with... concern?

He guess they're durable enough to withstand something like a ball to the head, but...?!]

Are... are you okay?

I am fine. [GIVE IT A MIN TO RE-ORIENTATED ITSELF.]

[zerotohiro]

[That poor robot never knew what hit him. Figuratively and literally. Hiro had been slightly alarmed that he'd hit someone else in the head, but once he realizes it's one of the robots and not Sayo he slows down from a quick run to a walk.]

They're really durable aren't they? I'm almost impressed with their quality. [And he's already moving to find the ball as well.]

[dereban]

You two look like you've had a day. . .

[ A field day, that is. ]

[zerotohiro]

[He's sort of flopped over on one of the Baymaxes finally after chasing them around. The other Hiro and Baymax are off in another part of the park (and it appears Baymax is trying to discourage the Hiro-bot from jumping into the fountain to check out the alien-life.]

Keeping up with one robot is bad enough. Who knew they could move so fast?
