At least it's not raining. That's all Snake could really think as he watched the horizon from the Castle walls. Guard duty tended to be boring, unless someone actually stumbled on the location of the latest Skull Castle.
It was warmer today, unlike a few days earlier when he'd tried to slip down to the basement to nap near the heating system. He knew cold shouldn't really bother him. He was a robot. But for some odd reason it did, like many of the other strange eccentricities of his AI.
He made a hissing sigh out of sheer boredom as he waited for his shift to end. What made it even duller was that he was assigned to the north wall with Crystalman. Normally the mystic was a bit strange, but polite and at least someone to talk to. Lately, however, Crystal had been more and more withdrawn.
Snake didn't like it. He didn't believe in all the nonsense that Crystal did, or he would almost have said the other Robot Master's moods seemed like a bad omen. It was obvious he believed something bad was going to happen.
Whatever the reasons, he was no longer any fun to talk to on guard duty, and Snakeman was bored.
((Someone had to make the first IC post, tho I don't know if this one will actually go anywhere unless he ends up talking to Crystal or to whomever replaces them for next shift. But hey, there's a post now :D ))
