A; Day 25-28 ; BAD ROBOT
[ Ken "Never Asked For This" Kaneki, that should be his middle name. Because it really fits. kaneki didn't want the robot they offered him, and he found it downright creepy when he realized it was starting to mimic Kaneki in some ways. But it got even creepier with time and this is why we can't have nice things. It didn't get to the "I want to kill you" part (though that will only support kaneki's opinion on why everything sucks) - right now they are at the "I want to put cat ears on you part".
it's a terrible part.
kaneki is pretty much walking FAST while the Roboneki follows along, with what it looks like a sexy cat outfit in its hands. Why? because this is your life now, Kaneki, just accept it. Except he doesn't want to accept it, so his face is completely red, as he looks over his shoulder back at Roboneki ] S-stop following me! I don't want to wear that!
With this, you may live among cats! You will find your place. [ Roboneki seems to find this totally logical.
this is when the real kaneki might bump into you ]
B; Day 29-30; RUN BOY RUN
[ Now THIS is the part where it kills you.
tries to, at least.
fails a lot at it, as well.
Kaneki managed to get past the whole "trying to shove Kaneki into a cat suit and send him off to live with cats", but he can't ignore the fact that the robot keeps getting weirder by the minute. He'd be fine if all there was to it was "weird", but when he wakes up in the morning Kaneki is suddenly faced with his robotic doppelganger pulling out its kagune right in front of him. This is the part kaneki knows things aren't just "weird" anymore: they are really dangerous too (probably).
The red tendrils grow and grow and Kaneki panics and panics, horror taking over him as he understands what is happening. So he does the right thing to do: he runs. What? Would YOU fight a murderous robot with tentacles coming out of its back? No, you wouldn't. Or you shouldn't, at least.
The boy runs outside his house to the streets and of course Roboneki follows, but those red tendrils aren't easy to control. With a sudden rush of murderous intent, Roboneki moves all three of them and suddenly stabs the nearby building - and the kagune gets stuck there and he is unable to get it out.
Breathing heavily, Kaneki ( the real one!) steps back even further trying to figure what to do about the robot which currently struggles to pull out the kagune from the wall. Should he... kill it maybe? Before it goes around eating people, at least. ]

B
Come!
[Obviously the best choice here had to be to run, right?]
no subject
Y-yes!!
[ and with that, kaneki stands up, glancing over his shoulder back at the robot to see it struggling to get the kagune out of the building's wall, and failing completely. ]
no subject
With his agreement in the matter, she grabs onto his hand and pulls, heading into the crowd where they can hopefully lose the robot entirely.]
no subject
As they finally try to hide among others, kaneki is able to breathe since the robot doesn't seem to be following them ]
it's- it was trying to kill me...! [ yes, kaneki. ]
no subject
[That seems to be happening a lot, actually.]
...Are you hurt? [She turns, now that they seem to be safe, giving him a visual once-over to see if he's been injured.]
no subject
Do you know what is happening to the robot? Is everyone doing the same?
no subject
Thank goodness.
[But she keeps holding his hand, looking around just in case they have to run again.]
I do not know very much about robotics, so I could not say what is happening. But I have seen a few robots doing this, so I suspect they may all be doing the same. The...
[Thing? Tentacles? She pauses, unsure as to how she should refer to the red growth on the robot's back.]
...what it had been using to attack you...do you know what that was?
no subject
They are really weird anyway...! They started to look like us and now- [ he was sure he should have never trusted anything CERES gave them, obviously something would happen.
And Kaneki is thinking about that when the question comes and he looks back at Veronica in silence.
... ah, he is still holding her hand...
he gently pulls from the touch, a serious expression on his face. he doesn't know how to answer that question. No, he does know - he just doesn't want to. ]
... I do. [ kaneki looks to the side ] It's complicated...
no subject
But still, she knows that no matter how disappointed she is that she didn't get an answer, he doesn't owe her anything.]
...May I ask what you mean?
[If he says that he doesn't want her to ask though, she'd just focus on getting him out of here and to some place safe.]
a.
As soon as Kaneki bumps into him, Leon's stepping away, flinching back and snapping out--]
Watch where you're--
[...Goi...ng....
That's when he catches sight of the robot with the sexy cat outfit, naturally. He blinks, brow furrowing, as if trying to understand what's going on here.
But he's really not coming across any answers any time soon.]
What is this?
no subject
Kaneki is quick to apologize for having bumped into Leon, a bit more nervous that he disturbed someone than having a stalker robot (ok, maybe not really). And he is ready to tell him "i'm being stalked by my crazy robot who wants to put me in a cat outfit" BUT
before that happens, suddenly said crazy stalker robot puts cat ears on kaneki's head. Ah. perfect ]
You should go live with cats now.
[ and with his face red, kaneki quickly slaps those things away and finally manages an explanation ] I-it keeps following me!
no subject
How pathetic.
[Leon that's rude. But his eyes are on the cat gear, even as he frowns.]
Why would it be so fascinated with this?
no subject
kaneki didn't ask for any of this ok
and while Leon speaks, the robot is grabbing the cat ears and trying to put them back on kaneki's head as he tries to stop it ]
I-I don't know! It wants me to go live with cats for some reason!
For community.
no subject
... Are you particularly fond of cats?
[Does he even want to know...]
no subject
No! I mean I don't dislike them but- [ the robot is pretty much trying to reach for kaneki's shirt buttons so he can try to take it off. Meanwhile, Kaneki keeps shoving roboneki's hands away ]
I don't want to live with cats!
no subject
But mostly it's being annoying, he's trying to have a conversation here.]
In other words, you are acting spineless and allowing this robot to humiliate you publicly.
[That is not at all what he said, Leon.]
At least act strictly when a robot is attempting to strip you.
no subject
And Kaneki is actually NOT going to defend himself because he is fine with being berated, honestly. Kind of used to it, even. ]
I can't control it, it has been stalking me and doing whatever it wants.
no subject
But this is just.........]
This is a pathetic display.
[Thanks, Leon.]
If you have no desire to help yourself, then I am wasting my time here. [Not that he was...trying to help or anything!!! That would be stupid, he doesn't help people, don't get him wrong.]
a;
If you wish to live among cats, give them fish...don't bother with that costume.
[ ADVICE... ]
no subject
I don't want to live among cats! The robot just went cra-
You must. [ the robot is set on sending Kaneki away to some cat colony it seems.
Kaneki on the other hand is just pushing the thing away as he can and you totally aren't helping, tiny child. Except something crosses his mind and tiny child might be onto something! ]
Wait, no- she is right- you need fish! [ oh my god please to go get some fish and leave kaneki alone]
a! (tags this a thousand years late w/o starbucks)
This is also when Touka opens her mouth to berate him for not looking where he's going. Also when she sees Roboneki heading their way, catches sight of the sexy cat outfit, and... just. Snaps her mouth shut. Kaneki can probably hear her teeth click together, and maybe even notice the exact milisecond when her brain goes nope at this whole situation.
So.
Don't mind her as she moves to push him away from her, and then sharply turns around on her heel to walk in the opposite direction. She's not dealing with this. Not today!!!]
no subject
I-I'm sorry, Touka-chan!
[ and then she is leaving?! Kaneki looks back at Roboneki, realizing why she is leaving and- well, he'd probably want to leave too. mostly because HE DOES WANT TO LEAVE, to be left alone as well.
But the robot caught him again and is entertaining itself with putting the cat ears on kaneki's head ] S-stop that!
[ it will stop, if only because Roboneki notices Touka. so that thing about robots wanting to "capture and take the original's loved ones for themselves"? yeah. Yeah. ]
You should come with me, Touka-chan.
[ WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU STUPID TINCAN ]
no subject
Except, nah. She's not walking that fast. More like... a casual stride. One that she slows down but doesn't quite stop, even while she looks over her shoulder after hearing the robot address her. She's totally scrunching her nose once she notices the fact that Kaneki is now sporting a pair of Embarrassing Cat EarsTM, but she doesn't say anything about it.
Instead, she waves them both off.]
I'll pass. Have fun among yourselves.
[Look. She already saved one of her
friendsacquaintances from getting crushed by their robots this week. Kaneki can survived getting embarrassed to near-death. She believes in him. Or... something appropriately deep and touching like that. She's not getting paid by the hour for this, okay.]
