*A shimmering portal appears and a robot steps through it. The portal winks out behind him*

What a shit hole. If there's anything worth discovering here, someone else can discover it, I'm ready to go home.

*He pulls out a remote and presses the large red button.*

*Nothing happens*

That's a problem.

Comments

Yeah, idk. There is an obscure robot Touhou character.

[youkai_hunting]

Oh wow! A real robot!

[therestherobot]

Maybe the battery's dead? Did I even bring any batteries?

*frantic pocket searching*

...Of course not

Hey, do you know where I can get any D cells?

[youkai_hunting]

Batteries? Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't used those in a while, actually!

[therestherobot]

Well, I'm sure I can find some at a gas station or something.

...Gas station's aren't really a thing here, are they?

[darkmastern]

Wow! A robot! We don't get many of those in the Netherworld!!

Make sure you watch out for Mao, he may try to "alter" you or something!

Oh, and welcome I hope you make the best of your kidnapping!

[therestherobot]

This isn't a kidnapping, there's just something wrong with my return remote.

[darkmastern]

Exactly! Overlord Ball has sabotaged it so you can't go home!

You even have a room here now!!

[therestherobot]

*He just stares.*

Unknown artificial construct detected. Initiating scan... ... cross referencing... no match found in database.

Initiating IFF analysis.

[therestherobot]

Your human talk isn't really up to snuff, is it.

[mechanu]

*there's a long pause at that, a vaguely confused look coming over her face*

Overriding IFF analysis. Disengaging Auto Mode.

Nu does not understand.

[therestherobot]

I've found that if you're all "BLEEP BLORP WHAT IS LOVE DOES NOT COMPUTE" it tends to make humans uncomfortable.

You are a robot, right?

[pet_moonrabbit]

... did Mao just recently make you...? You're not some kind of death machine, are you?

If you are, I'll definitely have to have a talk with him...

[therestherobot]

I'm not a death machine, I'm a robot. And I don't know who this Mao fellow everyone keeps mentioning is, but I was built by Nikola Tesla.

[pet_moonrabbit]

Oh, in that case, you must not be from around here.

Has anybody told you where you are yet? I wouldn't want to repeat anything you've already heard.

[therestherobot]

Someone was saying something about an overlord or something. I just need to figure out how to get my return remote to work and I can get a signal back to Earth. Hell, I figured it won't be TOO long before they reopen the portal.

[konokafetish]

...I wonder why all female robots look very much like women, while male-seeming ones don't...

Uhm, hello. You are a robot, right?

[therestherobot]

What a silly question.

I have been known to contain shiny bits, yes.

[konokafetish]

You weren't created by Satomi Hakase to serve a vampire, right?

Sorry, just asking...

[therestherobot]

No. I hate vampires.

Well, I hate the vampire dimension, anyway.
