Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 5

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Today, Inventiontronics was in the Danger Shop. Said Danger Shop looked a lot like a rural 1950's American town. Nice, normal little town, except for that creepy floating dude, and the fact that all the people were robots in various states of disrepair.

The zipperheaded man responsible was standing under the welcome sign, notes in hand, waiting for everyone to gather around.

"Hello, class!" Gosh, he was cheery. "Today, you're going to be repairing the good folks of Milltown. They're all ready and able to tell you how to fix them. Think of it as a walk-through. Ask them whatever questions you need to, they don't bite no matter how angry they look in the icons and are waiting with tools over there."

Glitch pointed over to the main street where six robots, counting the weird floating one, were scattered on steps and porches. Each one had a toolbox sitting near them.

"You can work together, if you like, or work alone. It's up to you. They'll let me know how you did when everyone is finished. Now go on," he started to herd them towards the robot people, "start working!"

Explore Milltown (2/4)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

There's a main street, buildings to peek into, and a tin statue in the middle of town.

Liir knew he should probably focus on the work for class, but he couldn't help looking around. After all, this was a recreation of a bit of the O.Z., his own homeland who knew how many centuries in the future. He wandered the street for a few minutes before he got to the statue...

And he stared. Because it was--

It--

He--

He'd--

The statue didn't stare back. It was kind of looking up and away, as lots of statues tend to do. Very prestigious looking. The inscription read:

In Memoriam-
Nick Chopper
Milltown Founder
Friend to the Gale

Anders couldn't help being more than slightly creeped out by this. You'd think, being roommates and best friends with a guy who owned a robot dog, that robots wouldn't bother him, but . . . dog-shaped robots were one thing. People-shaped robots were something else entirely.

Especially considering that somewhat people-shaped robots had rebelled against his world not all that long before he'd been born and tried to wipe out the Colonies.

Yeah. That was disturbing.

Although there was a slightly unfamiliar vibe to his discomfort as well, and one he couldn't for the life of him pinpoint.

"You're not from here too, are you?" he asked carefully. He didn't think so.

Well, this was...a little different. To say the least. A.J. wasn't exactly quite sure where to start, but found his roving eye seeking out certain hints of aesthetics.

If she'd walked into a town full of robots in real life, Jaina might feel a little put off. But knowing it was a simulation, she wasn't creeped out in the slightest. She just sort of thought of it as a town full of Threepios.

...Okay, that was a scary thought.

Bridge can't help but look around for a few minutes before starting in on the assignment.

Rodney was excited about working with the robots. He'd enjoyed the project last semester with the gay droid babies droids. Well, except for the bit where they almost exploded on him. And the thing where they couldn't get near his partner without shrieking like little mini banshees.

Actually, Rodney decided to proceed cautiously.

TA (2/4)

You can probably talk to her if the robots scare you too much.

Willow would certainly try to be less scary than a robot.

Liir approached Professor Ambrose, somewhat shellshocked but thankfully functional. In his hand was a small, sweetsmelling bag which he held out to the professor.

"I didn't get a chance to give you any chicken," he said. "So I thought you might like these."
