PUPPY POOOOOWEEEERRRR

[spacecase]

Who: Jade and YOU +10 robot puppies
When: TODAY. RIGHT NOW, IN YOUR HOMETOWN.
Where: Starting in the neighborhood of wherever-the-hell the Villa is and ending up in the park
Style: Action
Status: Open!

[So Jade had locked herself up pretty tight in her workshop after that disaster of a conversation with Cronus, it sounded like she was ripping up metal in there. What was she doing?

Dismantling a robot and making it into several smaller robot puppies.

Yes. Robot puppies. Fat ones, teeny ones, ones that climb on rocks! Or shoot lasers. It's been very therapeutic for Jade.

However, puppies get rambunctious. So rambunctious that they want to go out and play, and for all of Jade's spatial manipulating powers, she can't make a workshop big enough to contain these puppies. That's why they're busting out of her workshop and stampeding across the way to find ADVENTURE!!!

Meanwhile Jade is vaguely floating after them but she ultimately decides to not contain them for now. After all, she deactivated the lasers, what's wrong with letting the puppies play?]

[replicatedcourage]

I guess so!

[He sits up, two of the puppies still in his lap.]

I really like animals and they seem to like me okay too now that I have a real body instead of being made from shadow.

[spacecase]

Yes, that would do it!

[Golly, remind her to never complain about being an ectoclone.]

I made these pups so they could protect other people, but since you seem to like them so much you are well within your right to keep one or two yourself, Sola.

[replicatedcourage]

What, really?! I can keep one?!

[It's an exciting prospect! He's not sure he'd know how to take care of it though.]

What do they eat? Are they messy? Do they have names already? Won't they get lonely without each other?

[The question of if his housemates would be okay with this doesn't even cross his mind.]

[spacecase]

Ahaha, slow down! Ummm...they do not eat anything, although their power source would require a recharge every five years--[she's ticking it off on her fingers as she speaks.] They do not have waste deposits either, so no, they are not messy. No, they do not have names although whichever one you pick will have to get a tweak in programming from me so it will follow your commands rather than mine...

[She shakes her head at the last bit.]

No, no, as long as they have company, they would not get lonely without their littermates. They are not technically littermates in a conventional sense anyway.

[replicatedcourage]

Five years? That's a really long time.

[Longer than he is old, wow. It's good to know, though. If the bubble were to snag him away then it could take care of itself without him.]

What kind of tweak? It wouldn't change anything about it besides listening, would it?

[Sola still sees robots as nothing more that metal replicas, individuals that may not know they're individuals until they're taught that, like he was. He doesn't like the idea of changing them unnecessarily.]

[spacecase]

Of course not, just to respond to your voice! It is really not as complicated as you would expect, it's just a failsafe so someone does not use their defense against you. I call that aspect the doggy loyalty.

[replicatedcourage]

Defense?

[Sola untangles himself from the puppy pile and stands so he can talk to Jade more easily. It's hard to concentrate when little metal dogs are trying to stick their rubber tongues in your ears.]

[spacecase]

Yes! They are meant to provide protection to others, right? So they are outfitted with lasers!

...The defense mode is switched off right now, though, they will not start shooting at you by accident.

[replicatedcourage]

What's a laser?

[Everyone's using words he doesn't know lately! It's a learning experience, he guesses, but it's getting a little annoying having to ask. He wishes he just knew things like everyone else does.]

And that's good, I don't wanna get shot by accident.

[spacecase]

[...Let's avoid being overly science-y about this.]

It's a ray of light that's concentrated in a single point. People use them for a lot of things and usually their intensity isn't powerful enough to destroy anything, but back in my world they were adapted for weapons quite recently.

[replicatedcourage]

Oh! Like Beamos!

[For being a medieval-esque world, Hyrule does have a few advanced things. Like.. uh... monsters that shoot lasers out of their eyes.]

That can really hurt if they get you.

[spacecase]

Beamos?

[That word...it's so...

She breaks into a smile and giggles.]

Hehehe, Beamos! I like that!

[replicatedcourage]

Like that? Why? Beamos are pretty awful. You have to be really fast and throw bombs to blow them up before they can get you.

[He doesn't understand your amusement, Jade.]

[spacecase]

...Oh, I just...thought it was a funny name...

[Goddamn she's a giant fuckup.]

[replicatedcourage]

[Ah, no! He made her upset! Don't be upset, Jade!]

It is a pretty funny name, if you think about it! Beeeeam-os!

[Hahhahaha! Ha? Did he fix it?]

[spacecase]

[Mmph--she can't suppress a snicker.]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeam-os, blasting away, whoop whoop!

[replicatedcourage]

[At that Sola laughs in earnest. When she says it that way he gets the image of a beamos blasting off into the air. It's really pretty funny!

Excited by them both laughing, the puppies start barking and hopping up and down like they want to be part of the joke. Amused, Sola picks up the closest one and hugs it.]

I guess they think it's funny too.
