voice testing and MAYBE GAME SEARCHING? it is a mystery.

[overdosing]

Ach, you - of all the ridiculous suggestions! I have not even been here for a day and already you are making these grand plans for my future! Such nerve from such a tiny fräulein. Do I not get a chance to dig my fingers into your skull first? What about a vivisection? A very little one.

...You could at least offer to buy me dinner.

If I want to fritter my time away, I will do it with a BLU! Or, more presently, one of those robots. Even they would know how to show me a good time before dying screaming. [a beat.] Or beeping.

[hasstandards]

Or exploding. Some of 'em do that.

[overdosing]

Could one even consider those robots? They are bombs.

With legs.

[hasstandards]

They look like robots if you ask me, Doc. Besides, that's what Truckie's calling 'em. I'd say if there's anyone what knows about robots, it'd be him.

[overdosing]

They are irritating, is what they are. The smoke they emit when they explode makes it difficult to see the swarm following behind them.

I can only imagine how Herr Engineer must feel slinging his sentry around every time one of them shows up.

[hasstandards]

So long as we're paid, he can't complain too much.

[overdosing]

Technically we are not, not officially. For me, the best payment would be Mann's head.

Or his heart. Maybe even his spine, or one of his lungs. I do not consider myself picky.

[hasstandards]

However you like it, Doc. As for me, I'll take money. Call me old-fashioned.

[overdosing]

Or boring.

[classiest]

Those robots are worthless.

Just like rotting bodies and useless goggles; they do nothing.

[overdosing]

That is one thing we can agree on!

...Except for the goggles. They are not the height of fashion, but I would like to think that I make them look wunderbar.

[classiest]

It won't hide the weight you've gained over the years, I hope you know.

2/2

[but...he's been trying so hard...]

What was that? Speak up. I can barely hear you with such faulty wiring. How unfortunate for you.

Although, I should not be so surprised! I should be used to such shoddily built monstrosities by this point.

[classiest]

[ it's the muffin top's fault ]

That's all right. I understand when the elderly loses their hearing because they grow old and weak and lose their potential because they can't hear what I have to say.

I've had subjects like that.

They never lasted long to get their cake.

[overdosing]

Faulty wiring and sensors. Deaf and blind, aren't you? Poor thing.

Your maker should hand you over to me. I would put you to better use, ja? Perhaps hand you over to Engineer and have him turn you into a toaster.

that was embarrassing

[classiest]

I never thought I'd see the day, but you've proved me wrong, whoever you are.

Denial can be so strong with humans.

And besides, I require all kinds of Aves — birds, so you understand the conversation better, and I can be generous like that — are not to approach me unless they are dead.

D-E-A-D.

You can toast them in a toaster, too.

[medick]

I have learned that the robots can be ridiculously funny. [ dark chuckle-type of chuckle ahahahahhaaahahahahahhaha why are they crazy ] Especially after you put the saw through their heads.

[overdosing]

Ja! Have you tried dismantling them from the bottom up? Just last night, I watched Soldier fire into a group of those second-rate, fake medics. All of them exploded, but one of them...one -

[he's tittering too hard and holds up a hand for pause.]

One of them survived! The little wheel it rolled itself around on had blown apart, and it was trying to - heheheh - to pull itself across the ground! Possibly to get behind one of the Uberbots, thinking it would protect it!

[and that's it, he just loses his shit. l o l.]

It was hilarious!

[spawncamper]

...yer mun may not 'ave much of an idea for what they're gettin' themselves into with you around, doc.

[overdosing]

Neither does BLU. Perhaps she, like them, will be grateful to have a real doctor around.

[spawncamper]

[...real doctor. Right.]

Grateful...that's sure a word for it.

Or end up regrettin' it.

[overdosing]

Do you regret my presence on the team, Herr Mundy?

[spawncamper]

Nah. Just pretty sure I'd regret lettin' you anywhere near me that don't involve that medigun a' yours.

Medically speakin'.

[pocketsurgeon]

Ach. Ze robots are vorzless for study. At least for anyzing ozer zan finding out more about robots. Let ze Engineer haff zem.

Zhough I did find $46 in one of zem.

[notintehkitchen]

I like dinner--especially if it has bacon.

[Damn right she missed everything else.]
