Put down that car.

[The car belongs to her drone husband and is useless to her because she cannot drive it. However, she still has a couple issues with how a hostile looking automaton is lifting it up in front of her house.]

State your intentions, now.

Ohhh! Hey, it's you! Uh... Bazett! How's it going?

[He carefully sets the car back down, then makes a few button presses in the forearm control panel on his armor.] Looks to be about normal, okay.

Looking stunning, as always. I like your hair, is it a lighter pink today?

[Hearing the familiar voice reassures her enough to drop her guard.]

Tony? Is this your true body?

[It seems that he is an automaton like GAT. However, she remembers his comments during their previous conversation.]

I was unaware that automatons could enjoy human foods such as hot chocolate.

[Not to mention hold human standards of beauty, like he had displayed at the store.]

Is it part of your programming? It is interesting that your creator would choose to program you that way.

[Then again, both mages and scientists had a tendency to make their creations as "human" as possible, even programming into them things that were unneeded to imitate real humans.]

[Tony's laugh echoes a little from inside his metal shell.]

No no, babe, it's not the real me. Me is the real me. ...Fleshy, attractive, non-metallic me is the real me. This is actually one of the armored suits I've designed. It's one of my earliest builds, though, so it's more like a walking abacus.

[He starts to clomp over to her.]

Oh. So it is a form of armor. It seems to be enhanced. Is it through human science or "magic?"

[Scoff. Magic.]

This is 100% human ingenuity and genius. My own proprietary technology. Patent pending!

You must be quite the accomplished scientist then.

[She had not taken him for a man of science by his behavior during their first encounter.]

So why are you lifting up my drone husband's car instead of your own?

thecoolexec December 31 2011, 19:09:37 UTC
Simple. I don't have one.

Strange...the town should have provided you with one...

[Seeing how Mayfield liked to put on the facade of a perfect American town.]

Or did you convert it into something else?

Wow! Mayfield gave me a brand new car? Who runs this place? Oprah? Well. No one told ME that, and I didn't get any car keys...

Hm. If it's a fast one, could be fun, but more likely I'll strip it for parts...

Well, I am not sure how the mechanics of this place work. Seeing as how a car is a staple of American families and my drone husband has one, I suppose you should have one as well. However, perhaps the town only supplies cars to certain families?

Even if you could locate it, I doubt it would be anything too advanced. We are, after all, in a fascimilie of a 1950s era town.

Scrap parts it is, then. I DID notice a car parked outside, but I assumed it belonged to my "wife" or something.

Hm. Hope she won't miss it.

Given the organization of this town, cars are usually assigned to adult males, though if there is only one car, it can be considered a "family" car.

Drones rarely violently protest at anything. Even if they do complain, I suggest you ignore it.

I wish. She's real. Well, sane, I guess. Whatever the opposite of drone is.

...Then I suppose you would need to discuss it with her. Hopefully, she will agree if you do it in a respectful, reasonable manner.

Reply

thecoolexec December 31 2011, 22:05:09 UTC
I should dismantle her car in a "respectful, reasonable manner?"

...Sure, why the hell not? Good idea.
