ohmygod what am I doing aaaaaaaaa

[lovesbobbydarin]

Hey, Miss Mun, why's it called a 'voice-test'? My voicebox works just fine! Mr. Reed gave my whole chassis a look-over after the thing with the syrup, so you don't have to worry about that at all! Besides, if this is about writing me properly, shouldn't it be called a... a 'how to write for The Jon so he actually sounds like The Jon-test' or somethin'?

It's not as hard as you think. All you have to do is listen.

You'll do fine. Look, I'm even wearing my lucky Bobby Darin underpants! We can't go wrong!

[SCREECH]I LOVE BOBBY DARIN.

[FOCUS RABBIT. Focus.]

[hatchy]

Bob.by Darin?

[Shh, he's been in a vault for 72 years, he hasn't been caught up on everything.]

[lovesbobbydarin]

[WHAT IS FOCUSING AND HOW DOES IT WORK]

Rabbit! Yeah, isn't he the greatest?!

[malfunctionbot]

Only th' m-most greatest! Th' most spectacularist!

[lovesbobbydarin]

... H-Hatchy... you...



... you don't know who he is...?!

[THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING HE'S EVER HEARD, I hope you don't mind sudden hugs and/or invasion of personal space bro]

C'mon, c'mon! We've gotta find a CD player and the Bobby Darin Hit Singles Collection stat!

[malfunctionbot]

W-w-w-wwh-what?! Ya haven't heard o' Bobby Darin, Hatchy? Where ya been th' last fifty years, huh?

Trapped inna vault or s-somethin'? [HAHHAHAH oh wait it wasn't funny, was it. Sorry.]

[lovesbobbydarin]

The most...! [Give him a sec here, thinking of words that are great enough to describe Bobby McDarin is hard ok] Splendifer... splendi...


... He's the most awesome ever!

[hatchy]

I do not. believe I have been. told who he is.

[DOESN'T MIND AT ALL, because this is The Jon and of course these things do not matter when it comes to the older 'bot. Because The Jon.

Hatchy hugs back of course and will of course follow if tugged.]

Alright. alright.

[hatchy]

E-bay.

[REMEMBER RABBIT, WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE VAULT.]

[malfunctionbot]

[Aha! Have a smacking pat on the back, lil' brother. You get an A for effort.] The immaculate an' timeless... [DRAMATIC PAUSE FOR EFFECT.] Bobby Darin.

...Wait w-what were we talkin' 'bout before again? [Where's The Spine when they actually need him?]

[lovesbobbydarin]

RABBIT IT'S AWFUL HE DOESN'T KNOW

[malfunctionbot]

[SORRY SORRY MY BAD. It pops out sometimes. You know how big brother's jaw waggles all on it's own sometimes.]

R-r-right! A thousand Walter Fun Bucks, I 'member!

[malfunctionbot]

THIS IS A REAL T-T-T-TRAVESTY, TH'JON. We really gotta educate our lil' brother now, don't we?

[lovesbobbydarin]

[You are not so much being tugged as you are being forcibly dragged along by the wrist]

He's a singer! A really, really good one, he's from... the fifties? Forties? Fifties, yeah!

[hatchy]

[NO SWEAT RABBIT. Hatchy knows all about poppin' out of sorts with things. Or was it how rigidly and twitchy things could get on the mind?]

There is only so. much I was caught up on. Rabbit.

[hatchy]

[Might be needed with how slow he can be from time to time. THOSE YEARS WERE NOT THAT KIND TO HIM.]

A. classic?

[lovesbobbydarin]

[YAY BACKPATS. But you are asking The Jon to remember something, Rabbit. You know how well that usually works.

So yeah, you just get a shrug and a cheerfully blank look.]

[lovesbobbydarin]

The classic! He did Mac the Knife even if The Spine thinks it's a McDonalds commercial, and... and Beyond the Sea, they used that in that movie with the fish, and...

[hatchy]

Why would. The Spine. think it was a McDonalds. commercial?

[Someone is listening to every word of The Jon's, but that bit is funny.]

[lovesbobbydarin]

We do, we do! But... I don't have any instruments here, and even if I did, neither of us is Bobby Darin...


[SUDDEN DETERMINATION, GET]

... We need to find a CD player!

[malfunctionbot]

[Oh Jonny. Rabbit steals that top hat away so he can give that curly wig of yours a rough, but affectionate tussle.]

Well, it ain't even import-tant. Not when Hatchy an' I f-finally got our fav lil' golden boy back for f-fun, right? We got adventures t' get havin'!

[malfunctionbot]

Cause Th'Spine is one real stick-in-da-mud, no fun, humor c-c-c-cc-challenged 'bot.

[lovesbobbydarin]

I'unno. Maybe he watched a lot of TV in the eighties.

[hatchy]

I am sure he has his. own. sense of humor--

[But with that said.]

It is still. strange.

[malfunctionbot]

[...No, The Jon. no. Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king. Remember...]

Th'Jon, why w-would we need'a CD player when we could just give ol' Hatchy a r-r-real performance o' Bobby Darin's best material all on our own?
