[ Oh mun, he is so happy to be remembered. He thought you forgot him when you left him back on that other place that was just like this place but colored different. It was sad. Like being donated to the Y sad.

How was he supposed to be the best assistant ever if he's not around to help Tony with things? Who would make the shakes? Who would hold things? He is needed and he doesn't know what Tony would do without him!

He has been around way longer than anyone else, okay? He knows what things need to be blended and what things need to be held. So please don't put him back in that place where he is forgotten, okay? ]

[ Walking into the workshop. ] Hey.

Hiii :D

[bestassistant]

[ Friend! Really, Tony's friend but anyone who was Tony's friend was Dum-E's friend.

His arm lifts with a happy little whirr. He likes you Rhodey, you've always been nice and never once threatened to push him in the pool. ]

[unnatural]

[ is that ... a robot ... ]

[bestassistant]

[ Oh hi. You must be one of Tony's ladyfriends. You're not supposed to be down here.

He wheels closer giving little nudges.

You're gonna get them both in trouble ladyfriend. Let's go upstairs. ]

[coconutandmetal]

[ Don't forget; next best friend, too. ]

Better not be slacking off over there.

[ It's always tough love. ]

[bestassistant]

[ Tooooooooonnnyyy. He's missed you.

Also he is totally not slacking off. See? He just put that thing that was over here, over there. ]

[therealgenius]

[MY GOD IT'S THE MOST PERFECT ROBOTIC CREATION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

(compared to hammer tech, ofc)]

So this is the famous Dum-E, huh?

[bestassistant]

[ AWEE YIS. He's not all that familiar with you bro, if the curious robot-head-hand-twist wasn't enough to give it away.

If you're here for milkshakes you are too late. 8( ]

[like_a_gerbil]

[Steve gives the robot an affectionate pat on the...er arm? He's never sure what the parts of DUM-E should be called, but the robot is one of his favorites.]

I hope you're not going to cover me in fire foam.

[bestassistant]

[ Steve! Awee, pats, the best. He leans into the captain a bit before offering a soft whir and a twist of his head.

He wont foam you, you're not on fire. But if you were?

He totally would.]

[spiderhorse]

[Whoa.

What is this sorcery? Momdad had never managed anything like this. It was like the stuff under the Bifrost that Sleipnir didn't understand because he was

- a horse
- uninterested
- most likely unable to in the first place

So, Dum-E, you are immediately one of the most beautiful things Sleipnir has ever seen. He just doesn't understand you, so he's going to leaaaaan down and try to gnaw on your neck like he'd gnaw on Momdad's hair.]

[bestassistant]

[ It's okay Slippy, he's never seen a horse before. Not too many horses in the work area.

The gnawing though. Not okay. He needs those things, they make his grippies work. He wheels back a little and open and closes his claw a few times in confusion. ]

<3 <3 <3

[ Thor smiles at Antony's pet, he was looking for Anthony, but it isn't of great importance. He pats Dummy on the head. Or what he thinks is the head. ] Hello.

♥♥♥!

[bestassistant]

[ Oh he is getting all the pats today. It's most glorious.

Tony isn't here right now but he will be as much help as he can. He finds Thor as funny as he's sure the man finds him. ]

[ironteen]

[This may not be the right Tony, but he finds Dum-E pretty interesting!]

A robot arm, huh?

[bestassistant]

[ He remembers when Tony was young. You kind of look like him. Back when Dummy was his favorite and the only one. He whirs curiously and moves closer. ]

[wwii]

[ HEY SPEAKING OF ROBOT ARMS. ]

Stark tech, huh?

[bestassistant]

[ Are you one of his brethren? He lifts his claw into the air, acknowledging his maker.

Tony is the best, and made him, look at how cool he is. Check out his awesome Stark sticker. ]

[puttingthisonyoutube]

[Darcy was aware she probably wasn't allowed down here. But really, who could resist snooping around in Tony's huge freakishly quiet mansion? Certainly not her. Plus, you know, there were these papers that Coulson had sent her to deliver and if he didn't want her down in Tony's workshop, he shouldn't have left that file on his desk that had the passcode to the workshop on his desk; right where Darcy was prone to snooping.]

Hello Roboty Arm thing! Where can I put these papers?

[bestassistant]

[ He's conflicted-- she has papers, but she is also a lady who isn't Pepper which means she shouldn't be down here, but she has papers, and what if these papers are important and Tony needs them and he gets mad because Dum-E didn't let her in?

All this conflict, of course, is displayed by Dummy staring blankly for several seconds before wheeling forward to try and take the papers.

Give them here Lady. ]

[wealldosillythings]

[Why is English Molly Hooper wandering into Tony Stark's basement/work space? Well, it's a long story. Actually, it's really just curiosity. But why she is capable of wandering in someone's American home (she's from London), THAT is the long story.

Short version? Sherlock's on a case and a needed a female companion to go along with his disguise. While Sherlock is upstairs, likely pissing off Tony, Molly's looking around. This place is more lovely than she could ever hope to own. Even with all these strange gadgets...]

[bestassistant]

[ Stranger! He wheels up to her, fingers flexing curiously as he watched her. This was surely not Pepper. But JARVIS let her in so Dum-E will just make sure she doesn't get into anything. But if she does it will totally be JARVIS' fault.

He doesn't know what she's looking for, so he just follows behind as quietly as he can.

Or as quiet as a little wheely robot can be. ]

[irondick]

[ BABY.

Dum-E. Yes. Yes. ]

You forgot my shake. [ asshole, but this is affectionate. babyyyyy ♥. ]

[bestassistant]

[ TONY! His claw flexes rapidly which is the best expression of excitement he has.

No wait--

He backs up and wheels in a little circle. Check out them moves, eh? He's too busy making weird jerky movements that he doesn't think about the shake till it's mentioned.

Yes, he can do that too. He grips the cup on the counter-- and oh it takes a while because Oh no don't spill before he scoots along to the desk.

Shake Tony! See? ]

[pepperedsmile]

Long time no, see.

[Oh, DUM-E, you're a sight for sore eyes and the other robots that Tony built in her game aren't quite the same as you.]

[bestassistant]

[ PEPPER! His second favorite person ever, sometimes favorite. He wheels closer, just avoiding bumping her so he can be closer. He misses you so much Pep 8( ]
