 [Hey Haven, what's happenin? Need some more Power Joe in your life? No?

Too bad.]

Oi! Guys, look what I found!

[The Link turns, showing what looks to be a vending machine.  How he found it is anyone's guess.]

I'm gonna put it right outside the Police HQ!

"Welcome"

[...oh, yeah it speaks too.]

What do you think? Cool, huh?

[Anything's got better Engrish than Gunmax in PJ's mind.]

Let me check!

[He tilts it forward, looking around behind it.]

I found the plug. I'll have to take it to HQ to try it out.

[mccrane]

Power Joe.

[Something is off, here. Something is very, very off...]

Is it talking without being plugged in?

[He supposes it could have a battery, but it still is unnerving. He can see why Kagerou found it odd.]

[kungfugeek]

...


[And PJ smacks it over out of...creepiness. Don't mind as he backs up.]

"Thank you"

[mccrane]

I think it likes that.

[Yes. He is now sufficiently horrified.]

[kungfugeek]

[You're not the only one, McCrane.]

Can we make Drill Boy touch it?

[mccrane]

Would that help?

[kungfugeek]

It keeps us from having to touch it.

[Priorities, PJ has them.]

"Hello"

[mccrane]

Maybe only humans should touch it...

[He's aware there is something additionally awkward about this conversation.]

Or.

Perhaps we should extract the food and leave it.

Somewhere very far away.

[kungfugeek]

[Before McCrane can blink, PJ already has his tonfa out.]

I agree.

[Let's smash it.]

/gently jacks

[thxforthememories]

... So much for not harming it, I see.

[mccrane]

He hasn't harmed it yet.

[Other than the smacking.]

Do you have an idea?

[thxforthememories]

Yet.

... I don't think it should be here at all. I'm not the one you want to speak to, in that regard.

[mccrane]

He may take care of that shortly.

[thxforthememories]

Good.

I hate that thing.

[mccrane]

I...

Had that feeling, actually.

[Seeing how you normally respond to them.]

You could go help him if you want?

[thxforthememories]

... Yes. I suppose you would.

[He makes an unhappy noise.]

I don't think he wants me near him.

[kungfugeek]

I can still hear you guys!


And I didn't say that, new guy.

[thxforthememories]

Good, your senses aren't malfunctioning.

You implied it. You are implying it right now.

[kungfugeek]

I'll imply something else if you don't get over here.

[Like his fist + your face]

[thxforthememories]

... Now?

[kungfugeek]

No. Next week.

[thxforthememories]

Fine, then. Next week.

[kungfugeek]

FINE.

[Wait what did he just agree to.]

[mccrane]

Wait! Make sure you get the food out first!

[kungfugeek]

...!!

Oh, right.

[He picks it up...like it's some contaminated piece of garbage and--]

"Hello"

Stop that.
