DWN 014 - Flash [Action/Tune can be heard over the journal too?]

[Most people are away on the expedition? That doesn't particularly bug this robot. He generally preferred to keep to himself anyways.

With everyone gone he's decided he's going to clean up a little bit. So you might find this bot in shades in the lobby with... a mop in hand?

Yeah Blues is mopping the floor in the lobby like a boss, he's even whistling a tune while he's at it.]

(Elfie is pretty new here so she's been trying to explore as much of this place as she can. It helps that there aren't as many people around to stop her and ask her what the hell she's doing. But she's a detective. I mean, what is she meant to do, just sit around and do nothing when there's a whole new place to investigate? Not likely.

Honestly it's the whistling that catches her attention before anything else. For a while she just stands there watching him before speaking out.)

...Is this your job or something? The mopping.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Blues heard her coming, but didn't pay any attention to her until she spoke up. He'd wrap up his tune before looking up in her direction.]

No. Just passing the time while everyone else is gone.

...I don't think it's anyone's job really.

[elfiehopkins]

(Well, there was nothing terribly wrong with the tune so Elfie doesn't mind standing there and listening to it for a little while longer. She does raise a brow at his comment though she also nods her head.)

Right...

And the only way you thought to pass the time was to clean.

[whistles_the_blues]

What would you have done instead?

I saw a job that needed to be done, so I did it.

[elfiehopkins]

Well, probably anything at all but that to be honest, man. But whatever. Each to their own I guess.

Don't tell me you're actually enjoying it though.

[whistles_the_blues]

Perhaps not enjoying it, but I'm certainly not torturing myself by doing it either.

It's just something to do.

[wagers]

[She's fluttering over his way, wings lifting her off the ground so as to not to tarnish Blue's work. Not that she cares or anything.

Secret: She does.]

Ain't that something the castle can do on its own?

[whistles_the_blues]

[Wings huh? That's certainly new. He certainly would never admit, but he appreciates the gesture.]

Probably, but it hadn't done anything about it yet and I didn't have anything better to do at the time.

So I figured I might as well.

[wagers]

[Squiiiiiiiint........]

Oh, come on! You seriously don't have anything better to do?

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure I could have found something, but I felt like I doing this, so I did.

[Deal with it]

[wagers]

[NO! How dare you do a thing she wouldn't want to do herself!]

Bor-ing!

[whistles_the_blues]

[Pfffft. He's the mopping machine. ...Literally.]

That so? Then just what exactly should I be doing?

[wagers]

I don't know! Go flying around, find some adventure! Try not to fly out too far or you'll hit that dumb "no powers, no technology" thing and fall out of the sky and break or something, though...

[whistles_the_blues]

Flying isn't something I do. [Because he can't, if that wasn't obvious.]

I'll pass on getting too close to the Dead Zone, been there done that. [Back in his own world at least.]

[wagers]

What, no rocket... things... anywhere?

[whistles_the_blues]

...No.

[Just an arm cannon. Not to mention with the whole crappy power core, he doesn't imagine he'd get very far flying.]

[wagers]

[........::::)]

Do you even want to fly?

[whistles_the_blues]

I can't say I've ever thought about it before.

[That didn't answer the question at all Blues.]
