[ o1 | Action | 1249 Williams Road ]

[ The 20-foot-tall robot who passes for the husband at 1249 Williams Road can be found... lounging in the driveway, of all things- a comic book grasped carefully in too-long fingers. In fact, there's a small stack of comic books sitting next to him. Every once and a while he'll chuckle to himself as he's

[Being a neighbor, living at 1248 Williams... Keine won't be able to help but to notice that huge robot when she does leave the house and look to the side.]

[And inevitably drop whatever she was holding with a fairly obvious thud on the ground, stunned.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He looks over at her, optics shuttering in the robot version of a blink ]

I'm sorry. Did I scare you?

[hystorical]

[IT JUST TALKED.]

N-No, I was just... surprised.

[how did she never actually notice him oh god]

[electrowhipit]

Ah.

[ something in his face shifts to give the impression of a smile, since he lacks the mouth to do so ]

I guess I do have that effect on people.

[hystorical]

Well... People don't see 20-feet robots every day, right? [laughing a little. This robot does put her at ease with his personality and 'impression of a smile'~]

[going to pick up what she dropped meanwhile.]

[electrowhipit]

Generally not.

You live here? [ he angles his head, indicating the house she just came out of ]

[hystorical]

Oh, yes, that's right. I take it you live here too? [she indicates the house he's sitting by]

[... except... isn't he a little too big to live in there?]

[electrowhipit]

[ a chuckle ]

These days I mostly live in the garage, but yes.

[hystorical]

"These days..." Were you brought here as a human initially then?

[electrowhipit]

Yeah. I was human for about a year.

[hystorical]

What... was it like, suddenly changing from a human into a machine?

[electrowhipit]

Kind of a relief, actually.

[hystorical]

Wouldn't it be a little... inconvenient to be this big when the houses are much smaller, though?

[electrowhipit]

I don't mind it. I do still fit in the garage.

[hystorical]

You... do? [how.]

[electrowhipit]

... I can turn into a car.
