[It was probably one of those days where she would look upon other people who had their robo-butlers walking with them, looking quite similar to them. She's not sure if that would be a good idea, to walk outside with your robot familiar, but it's not her decisions to make, since she doesn't actually have a robot? Because she never pressed a button.]
I certainly am glad I never pressed that button. [She's talking to herself, really.]
[ and she's not the only one who opted not to press that button. aside from the fact that he defaults to not trusting anything "gifted" to him by CERES, he doesn't know shit about robots. even things like the CereVice and microwaves still mystify him sometimes. there's no way in hell he's going to get in on that.
...not until he talks to Tadashi about it, at least.
anyway, catching sight of a familiar face as he passes by, he stops to address her, glad to hear he wasn't the only one who said hell no to turning that thing on. ]
[ it's true that technology has made his life about a million times easier (though not having to worry about getting eaten constantly also has a lot to do with that), but this robot business just wasn't gonna fly with him. the concept of CYbuddies is still weird to him, so having a robot person wandering around in his living space just sounds deeply uncomfortable. shudder. ]
Nope. Maybe if they paid me, but even then it'd have to be a lot.
[It's true. She likes the idea of robots. But she knows for a fact to never trust one that is half broken and looking like a death trap. And she usually rolls with CERES' ideas out of curiosity to learn more about how to deal with them. This is a time one should not sacrifice themselves for the cause.]
Really? Hmm, perhaps myself too, but again, it would cost so much they would probably be bankrupt by the end of it.
[ and he turns to head back in the direction of his apartment. wherever he was going before is clearly not as important as the disposal of this goddamn robot. brb!! ]
[ it takes him a little longer to come back. the reason should become clear once he's back in sight, though: in addition to the robot, he's also equipped himself with some kind of clunky, strappy contraption. it's the type of thing that looks like it'd take a solid half-hour just to put on.
[Ah, that must've been what taken him so long. At the same time? It looks impressive. This is probably what he's going to use to scale the walls for them to throw the robots over.]
[ he motions for her to follow him towards the wall. sure, he could Spider-man his way over there a lot faster than walking, but a) property damage is expensive, and b) he's not that rude.
[And off they go, with her following after him. At least he's patient with her! Which is more than she can ever ask for. She should know this is an honour when it concerns him.
So when they reach the wall, she never knew that it was much slower than he probably is used to.]
[ eh, no big deal. if he really wanted to zip around the city leaving only steam and gratuitous property damage in his wake, he could. but they've got these crazy things called trains here that can go even faster than he can. plus he gets a lot fewer weird looks on the train.
at the wall, he stops and sets his own robot-box down, turning to her instead. ]
Here, I can do yours first. That way you can leave if you want.
[ because why would she want to spend any more time with him than necessary?? friendship, how the fuck does it work. ]
[That's true, even though she would definitely like to see him zip around some day. It's not like this is something the modern world has either, so she's never really seen it.
She stands up the robot, about to hand hers to him.]
Even if you do mine first, I still will wait for you.
[Said so firmly, because he's helped her this much, she just can't leave him! FRIENDSHIP, LEVI.]
[ he squints at her a little, seemingly mystified that anyone would want to stay and hang out with him. it's not suspicion, it's just... a lack of social skills.
he'll figure it out one of these days. ]
...If you say so.
[ with that, he grabs her robot in one arm and fires an anchor up into the wall with the other. up we go! ]

You too, huh?
no subject
But she won't blame him at all for not trusting this piece of tech. It would turn anyone off technology.]
Oh! Hello, Levi. [She offers a small wave before she makes her way over.] Myself too...so I assume you didn't press the button either.
no subject
Nope. Maybe if they paid me, but even then it'd have to be a lot.
no subject
Really? Hmm, perhaps myself too, but again, it would cost so much they would probably be bankrupt by the end of it.
Where did you put yours?
no subject
[ he... doesn't have a lot of stuff. there was plenty of room. ]
For now, anyway. I'd like to give it back somehow. It's just taking up space.
no subject
Ah, myself as well. If there was a way to return it, I would like to do the same.
But I'm just afraid of accidentally activating it in the process of finding out.
no subject
I haven't ruled out just throwing it away.
no subject
I was thinking that also. If I could trust that there is a way to dispose of it. [And without some other idiot pressing the button for her.]
no subject
I guess we could toss them over that wall. Give the monsters something non-human to play with.
[ just kidding. (is he kidding? it's hard to say.) ]
no subject
I wonder what would happen if they press and activate the button...?
no subject
[ you know, just. based on past experience with this kind of thing. ]
no subject
We really could just throw them over then. I think them being broken to pieces because the creatures tried to consume them might do us some good.
no subject
I can get up the wall pretty easily. It'd take two trips, but I could just toss both of them over it from there.
[ it'll be fun!! ]
no subject
Alright, that sounds like a good plan! I will help carry.
[These two.]
no subject
Great. I'll grab mine and meet you back here.
[ and he turns to head back in the direction of his apartment. wherever he was going before is clearly not as important as the disposal of this goddamn robot. brb!! ]
no subject
Alright, I will see you soon.
[And she goes to do the same! Next minute, she'll be seen hauling her robot along, making sure to keep the button way out of reach.]
no subject
fortunately, he's had plenty of practice. ]
Ready?
no subject
I'm ready!
no subject
Good. Let's go, then.
[ he motions for her to follow him towards the wall. sure, he could Spider-man his way over there a lot faster than walking, but a) property damage is expensive, and b) he's not that rude.
...maybe if it was someone he didn't like. ]

She sticks by him, at least as close as she can safely. She shields her eyes as she watches him go!]
