This is totally a "troll for castmates" post. Come to ataraxion. You know you want to.

 Really?

I get into one fight with a crazy-woman AI and suddenly now you think I need supervision?

[scarred_identity]

You've always needed supervision.

[andblockbuster]

I do not. And- and this was totally a fluke.

[It was not a fluke that he kept bickering with her after she threatened to murder him fifty times.]

[scarred_identity]

Really. [she calls bullshit, Topher]

[andblockbuster]

[But you always call bullshit.]

She threatened to murder me within three minutes of meeting me. That is not the mark of a rational person. [Wait. This is Claire he's talking to.] Even you have to admit that three minutes is way too short to make an informed decision on me.

[scarred_identity]

I suppose that's true. It did take me longer than three minutes before I decided to murder you.

[spoken in the most deadly serious tone ever because that's how she rolls]

[andblockbuster]

[You're not allowed to talk to GLaDOS ever, Claire.]

See? I wasn't really gonna win in this situation.

[insectwings]

Maybe you do.

[andblockbuster]

It was one time. I managed seven months without getting into fights with anything that could kill me.

[insectwings]

Oh. Sorry, then.

So. There are robots.

[andblockbuster]

Only mostly robots. They're kinda humanish now.

[insectwings]

This place is weird.

Is the crazy-woman AI like, Skynet levels of crazy or a significantly lesser level of crazy?

[andblockbuster]

[THANK YOU, HIMSELF. It's the only validation he needs.]

Exactly Skynet levels- I have it from a mostly-reliable source that it was the same deal and everything.

[boygodofneuro]

Oooh. Well then. Fighting with it is just our way of trying to find it's weakness and eventually, maybe take it down and prevent all the evil shenanigans. So there. No supervision needed!

[andblockbuster]

Exactly! Why Doesn't anyone else get that? Sure, she may... threaten us with all manner of torture, but we stood firm against robot adversity. And if she strikes us down... Sherlock Holmes will solve the murder. So that's almost worth painful death.

...Kinda.

But if she's gonna pick on people smaller than her ginormous robot girth, she should expect some verbal swashbuckling until the time is right to hit her back.

[Yep....]

[boygodofneuro]

Dude. That's awesome. Holmes getting to do his whole...Holmsey thing. Painful death by not-Skynet is definitely not, though.

Verbal swashbuckling will undoubtedly reveal her greatest weakness! Your logic is impeccable. Spock would commend you, er, us? For our superior logic.

[mr_dominic]

You've been around somewhere completely unsupervised? And the place hasn't been completely destroyed?

[andblockbuster]

[His best friend is an Intelligence Dampening Sphere.

It's only a matter of time.]

I find your lack of faith in me really disturbing, Dom. Expected, but disturbing. Surprise! I can actually take care of myself.

[Mostly.]

[testgasm]

I told you. I told you. What did I tell you? I told you not to engage, and you went ahead and did it anyway. And then--and then, as if that wasn't bad enough, you had to go make Her angry?

I don't--I don't even know where to start with you.

[andblockbuster]

Yes, that's great, coming from the guy screaming at her.

[testgasm]

Did you listen to the things She was saying to me? You try and take that lying down, honestly.

[andblockbuster]

She was threatening to gruesomely torture me for funsies. I think we can both agree she's a little bit unreasonable...

[Yeah, like meteors are a little bit unreasonable.]

...And maybe we both kinda... boned that up.

[testgasm]

Yes. That's what She does, generally.

You didn't have to keep instigating Her.

[What is 'boned' what are you even]

[echoed]

When my mun finally decides to get her act together and puts me up there, you are going to have a lot of explaining to do, aren't you?

[ Yes, Topher, she is clearly giving you a slightly judging look. (WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IN SPACE?!) ]

[andblockbuster]

...No? [AWKWARD GIGGLE.

...Hi, Echo, he may hide behind you when things get terrible. OKAY? OKAY.]
