Ask Pendulum Depot

Owner of the Solid Light Factory(Better than the Blinking Light Factory)

[askpendulumdepot]

Good day to you Tumblr! It has come to my attention that others seem to be using this platform to promote themselves and their businesses, so I've decided to do so as well. As you may know, I am the beloved owner of the Solid Light Factory, Pendulum Depot. Feel free to ask me questions about the Solid Light Factory or even myself. If anyone is in need of a job, we'd love to welcome you into our Solid Light family! DNI blinking light enjoyers, solid light haters, and Gart Default Also have a comprehensive list of tags that tend to be used on this blog: #Ask Pendulum Depot - Usually me answering questions or occasionally on posts about myself #Pendulum Answers - Entirely for answering questions #Pendulum Posts - Posts I make independent of any questions #Pendulum Reblogs - Things I've reblogged

[askpendulumdepot]

-today was the business meeting Pendulum had with Gart Default, and he had brought @rnmbarb along, so she could prove herself to Robot and Monster how capable she is-

-Of course, Barb remained in her lamb costume to stay hidden and to keep from scaring the other workers, but to those who knew, they knew she was Barb-

Hey, Pen! Before we go in here, I wanted to give you something. It's not much, but I thought it might suit you. Is it okay if I...

-Barb leaned down to Pen's level, and took out a brooch, a fancy gold charmed heart locket brooch that had a prominent pretty looking ruby in the center, and she pinned it to Pen's scarf.-

It's actually a long story, where I found this thing. I just thought it would look nice on you, so I polished and cleaned it up! For your meeting. Like a conversation starter.

It's also a small thank you for you taking me under your wing. Because you didn't have to, you know? So thanks for looking out for me. Anyways, let's go get in here! You look great!

:)

Oh- you really didn't need to. I needed the help and you needed a job, it was the most sensible thing for me to do. I really don't deserve- ...thank you Barb, it is lovely. -Well now he feels terrible. In reality Pendulum had brought Barb with him with the intent to start a fight between her and Robot. He was hoping whatever ability Barb had would trigger, causing massive electrical damages to the Blinking Light Factory, and perhaps even giving him such a diversion that he could find the schematics for the blinking lights that Gart kept so well guarded. Although could he really do that to someone who had such genuine trust in him? At least with Robot in the past, he could choose to believe that he was using Pendulum to stick it to Gart as well.- -No he had to, this was a solid plan to finally best Gart and his factory once and for all. The one thing he had dreamed of doing for decades now.- -But would it actually be worth it? Loosing genuine connections just to get where Gart is? High up on the pedestal that he still seems to be bloody miserable on.- -Pendulum only knew he had until the end of this meeting to figure out exactly what he was going to do.- @rnmbarb

[rnmbarb]

-Barb felt pretty confident by being near Pen's side-

-Although she couldn't pin point it at first, after Barb gave Pendulum his fancy brooch, however, there was a slight shift in his energy. Maybe it was just nerves?-

Hey, don't catch a fever now, @askpendulumdepot . You got this! I'll even back you up if you need me to. There's nothing new that Gart or anyone else can say to you that hasn't already been used to try and knock you down. Just focus on all the good you've been doing. That's what sets your factory apart from all the others! Your heart. Get it?

-Barb poked his new heart locket brooch, giggling at her own corny joke that was heart warming all the same-

-but she really did believe Pen had a good heart, though, didn't she?-

-that he was being just as genuine as she was-

-Why else would he tag her along other than for supporting each other?-

[askpendulumdepot]

-Pendulum snapped out of his own internal dialog to give @rnmbarb a forced overly cheerful smile.- Haha, you are right about that! Folks like me have got to fight to not be cast into irrelevance because of what's spoken by the likes of Gart DeFault or others. It's how my company still stays afloat despite some arguing it should have gone out of business years ago. I do what I must to try and stay ahead of the game. -Pendulum adjusts the brooch on his scarf. He doesn't want to break Barb's trust in him, but this business as been the most important thing to Pendulum for the majority of his life. Perhaps she would understand? He'd be lying to himself if he said he believed that.- -Well perhaps the meeting with @gart-the-golden-child will give him the final bit of clarity he needs. He pushed the doors to Gart's office open with a facade of his usual confidence.- Why hello Gart! How is the Blinking Light business treating you these days?

[gart-the-golden-child]

-at first, Gart didn’t notice them enter… he was too wrapped up in his own thoughts at the moment, but he immediately hid something in the bag he brought…-

-…it was something he’d written down… probably nothing important, he only INHERITED the formula and the factory, not like he’d write down something completely personal that he’d felt awful about in the past that almost cost EVERYTHING…-

Hm? Oh, it’s going… well, for the most part. I mean, as far as I can tell…

…oh! Is that a… it’s impressive! I mean, not “You never disappoint” impressive, but, it’s still up there… I’m guessing it was a gift…

@rnmbarb @askpendulumdepot

[rnmbarb]

-Barb listened as Pendulum explained how tough it was out in the business world; how much work it was just to keep his head above water. She felt pretty bad that he had to work so hard to the bone like that. Or supposedly in this instance, grinding his gears.-

-It's not his fault that solid lights had become obsolete, but he still believed in keeping the solid brand alive. It's hard when you believe in something so much, and have hardly anybody to stand by you.-

-Even Robot had a friend like Monster to support him. Who did Pen have? Well, right now, he had Barb that believed in him. Although she did wonder, if he did end up having to close the solid lights factory down, what next endeavor would he pick up? Did Pen ever think about that? For now, Barb just wanted to support Pen the way he's always supported her.-

Barb: It doesn't matter what they think @askpendulumdepot . It should be a good thing that you provide more traditional options. Your solid lights are just as reliable as the blinking ones. I honestly don't get what the fuss is all about.

-But Barb came from a world where human technology was much more advanced than theirs, so of course she didn't quite understand why it was such a big deal for them-

-Anyhow, Barb and Pendulum end up greeting @gart-the-golden-child , who seemed briefly caught up in his own little world, carrying around and pondering over whatever was inside his fancy bag before realizing their presence.-

-Gart even made a compliment to Pen's brooch! Well, sort of a compliment. It wasn't directly mean or hurtful, so that's a good start.-

Barb: Hi Gart! That's such a cute purse! Also, Yeah! I found that brooch at the bottom of Lake Bottom Berrel, down in the serpents crystal den! You wouldn't believe all the treasures you can find down there. I ended up snatching it as a souvenir when we saved Robot, but I thought it would look nice on Pen. I also thought it was kinda funny because he wears his heart on his sleeve! Or- scarf. Get it? -giggles-

-So corny and naive, and Barb did genuinely think that Gart's bag was super cute-

[askpendulumdepot]

Thank you Barb. There are very few in this city who truly appreciate Solid Lights these days. -Pendulum looks genuinely touched that someone believes in his Factory. Perhaps had actually made a real friend? No, he had to remind himself that those typically don't last long in this line of work. But it still felt nice that someone sounded that confident in his business.- -The seeming normalcy of the start of his conversation with Gart put him a bit at ease though definitely. At least that's consistent with what Pendulum knows to be the norm. For now at least.- Why thank you Gart...I think. It was indeed a very thoughtful gift from Barb here. I had no idea you got it at Lake Bottom Barrel! You definitely have quite the adventures outside of work. Now what're you hiding in that little bag Gart hm? For your sake it better not be the blinking light formula, that purse certainly doesn't look very secure! -He chuckles. Pendulum knows the paper is most likely not the blinking light formula. He's just enjoying teasing Gart about it, assuming it's probably just something silly or embarrassing.- @gart-the-golden-child @rnmbarb

[gart-the-golden-child]

100 posts? Already? Huh.

@askpendulumdepot, I caught up. What do you think of that?

[askpendulumdepot]

You just can't stand that I got there before you can you?

[askpendulumdepot]

'ello there, ahem.. me grandma would like a few of yer Solid lights, 'pparently her blinking lights err.. how'd she put it? Exploded, into confetti. I aint sure if she got scammed or not honestly, her eyesight do be bad these days. Erm... many thanks.

Oh yes of course! I'll get you a box right away. This is why I wouldn't trust any Blinking Lights if I were you. Remember, Solid Lights are where the quality is at! Thank you for your business, have a wonderful day.

opinion on soup. Just, soup.

Soup is very nice. There's nothing quite like a hot bowl of bacon soup on a cold day!

[askpendulumdepot]

Hello, I am very much the real 11th Doctor. I am rapidly approching your location, good day. Bowties are cool.

Hello there- wait excuse me??? Is this a threat?? Should I be worried? Regardless, what you are stating about bowties is very true.

[notgart]

please stop harassing me in my asks i am not gart👎

[askpendulumdepot]

@gart-the-golden-child Is this you?

[askpendulumdepot]

what color is this dress?

What an unusual question. Well it appears to be gold and white.

[askpendulumdepot]

IM THE ONE STEALING THE SANDWICHES FROM YOUR ADOPTIVE CHILD AKA THE TOPHAT SPARKLE ANON OR JAMMIE DODGER ANON, THEIR SANDWICHES ARE SHITE BUT I EAT THEM ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR A ADOPTED FREAK. AHAHAHA!!!!! YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME! ..probably.

-🫐🌂

EXUSE ME, WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL THEM?! WHY LISTEN HERE YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE PRI-

...Ahem, why don't you return here for a moment blueberry umbrella anon? It appears I have a box of exploding solid lights with your name on them.

[im-the-best-one]

A little piece of advice from me:

VOMIT THOSE ATROCITIES AND GIVE THEM TO PENUS. HE'LL ADORE THEM SO MUCH HE'LL WANT TO FAINT.

AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, PASS ME THE TEARS OF HIS LITTLE CHILDREN. I NEED TEARS. I NEED TO FEED.

[askpendulumdepot]

My word I cannot make heads nor tails of what you're trying to say. Perhaps take a minute to relax for a moment?

[gart-the-golden-child]

I found… this… earlier, and I thought it would potentially raise productivity by making everyone who actually works here laugh? Even if I didn’t.

Aaaaand maybe keep Barb from exposing my music taste to the world?

@rnmbarb

[rnmbarb]

Haha! That actually is pretty funny! Also, jokes on you, Gart! Pendulum already offered me a job a little while back!

I've been pretty productive for once! It's been great! He's actually a really nice guy! I don't know why you two have so much beef with each other.

(Mod: She doesn't know Pen's just using her to get close to grooming Robot back to working for him 🥀)

@gart-the-golden-child

@askpendulumdepot

[gart-the-golden-child]

You’re what? I-I mean, at least you don’t have any valuable information to him…

…I just… don’t want a repeat of last time… …never you mind.

@rnmbarb

@askpendulumdepot

[rnmbarb]

.... What do you mean about me having valuable information @gart-the-golden-child ?

Is there something I should know, @askpendulumdepot ?

[askpendulumdepot]

Oh Gart's just suspicious that I'm trying to get that blasted blinking light formula of his again. Can I not simply care about lowering unemployment? That being said, if you ever happened across the formula and you simply decided to give it to me, why I certainly wouldn't stop you! @rnmbarb @gart-the-golden-child

[rnmbarb]

Eh- I probably won't be stealing anything for you, Pen. But I'll help you in other ways! As long as it's legal. 😅

If I did that, it would kinda make things like- super awkward at home with Robot and Monster. And I also wouldn't want to betray @gart-the-golden-child even if he can be mean. Like- really mean. That doesn't mean two wrongs make a right. That's coming from someone who threw a rock at Gart one time and I felt really bad about it. :(

@askpendulumdepot

[gart-the-golden-child]

Don’t remind me… it really hurt, by the way! I know I had a bucket to protect myself, but still!

…and yes, @askpendulumdepot, I DID try to tell others, and NO, they didn’t believe me.

@rnmbarb

[askpendulumdepot]

Of course they wouldn't Gart. Who would believe some strange gremlin sort of creature came out of the woodwork in the middle of the night just to throw a rock at you? Why if I hadn't met Barb myself I would have a hard time believing it too! @gart-the-golden-child

[gart-the-golden-child]

It was terrifying in the moment! I didn’t know there was anything like that in existence… well, anymore… Those fossils gave such a vague idea…

…you never said how YOU met @rnmbarb…

@askpendulumdepot

[rnmbarb]

I still can't believe humans went extinct in this timeline! I guess that makes me like- a dinosaur to y'all, right? Wait wait wait! Haha! Does this mean you guys have like- the Jurassic Park movies but instead of dinosaurs, it's just humans? Omg

Anyways, @askpendulumdepot met me when I was being a menace to society and sneaking into places so I could hijack the intercom and prank them with loud music. He wasn't happy, and that was the last time I did that because I ended up starting a panick and almost got trampled to death. I also scared people when they saw me crawling through the vents, which probably didn't help. 🙃

((Internally: Why do I put myself into these situations?))

And, somehow! I ended up landing a job! So I've been too busy to cause a mess like that again. Thankfully.

@gart-the-golden-child

[askpendulumdepot]

In a nutshell, yes. Or more aptly akin to one of those fossils that scientists have been arguing for years over what it's supposed to be. Interpretations in movies vary, usually some fairly horrifying ones. Also yes, that is indeed how we met. Luckily I had heard about what had happened to you @gart-the-golden-child, or I imagine it would've been quite a shock! (Or well, more so than it was.) @rnmbarb

[rnmbarb]

I haven't been very subtle with any of my first impressions with anybody while I've been here. QwQ

At first, I was kinda treating this reality like it's been one huge dream. A dream I can't wake up from. I guess that's when I decided I should be more serious because scaring people intentionally isn't going to make others trust me not to hurt them.

I keep pushing my luck, but there might be a day where that luck runs out. ... I guess that would be the day where I become less of a problem for everybody.

**in this world, and the last**

...... What? I was just kidding!

**Kind of**

@penduluum

@gart-the-golden-child

[askpendulumdepot]

Barb I assure you, you've garnered enough friends in your short time here that nobody would let anything bad ever happen to you. Nor would I say that any of them consider you a problem. You've certainly been a big help around my factory! So quit filling your head with those sorts of bogus lies.

[rnmbarb]

-Barb looked over to Pen, not really expecting that response. Perhaps there's just been so much tension at home with Robot about her working at the solid lights factory, and it's been making her feel bad because she only took this job because she wanted to help contribute. And she feels like she can't even seem to get that right.-

-of course the reason for that is because Robot probably is still distrusting of Pen for trying to pull such dirty tricks like making him almost betray and destroy his own family, but Robot never communicated that to Barb so of course she doesn't fully understand why he's so tense.- -they always seemed to have communication issues (an aspect of their relationship Pen could manipulate if he wanted to)-

Thanks, @askpendulumdepot . It's kind of a force of habit lately. Mostly because of Robot, I guess. I mean- He cares... I know he cares and I think he cares a bit too much because maybe he feels guilty that I'm in this situation? I just want him to see that I'm not helpless. I also don't want to live the rest of my life afraid, either. It's just not living- It's suffocating...

-the lights begin to flicker from Barb's frustration brewing, but she takes a calm breath-

**is there something off with the lights?**

[askpendulumdepot]

I see. Well then you'll just have to find a way to prove to him that you're not helpless. ....On another note I think you may need to get some new lights in here. Unless they're putting those accursed blinking lights in homes now too. @rnmbarb

[rnmbarb]

Yeah, I just need to get Robot to see it. So I'll keep doing the responsible thing, I guess.

**I don't want him to be disappointed in me too**

... Yeah, I don't think it's blinking lights. That also sounds like it would be a hazard. It's just faulty wiring, and it's been happening a lot lately. I think one time, when me and Robot were arguing because I snuck out to hang with Crikey, the lights ended up completely blowing out. It was actually kinda crazy... and maybe a little scary.

@askpendulumdepot

[askpendulumdepot]

Well that's certainly...unusual to say the least. It's probably nothing to be worried about though. Some installations in this city are a bit old after all. Say I have an idea. You want to show Robot how you're more responsible nowadays right? Why don't you tag along for my next business meeting with Gart DeFault? You'll learn more about how the factories work, plus Robot and Monster have the chance to see how productive you're being as of late. @rnmbarb

HI DAD, I got lost in the forest! ..I have a bad habit of getting lost, huh? Anywho, nobody ate my ham sandwich this time! Interesting, still have no idea who did it though.

So, due to getting lost in the forest and I love plants, Papa, favourtie plants? :D personally, I love Fuchsias, bluebells and skeleton flower! ..Im sorry for getting lost again.

Oh dear, you really must pay more attention to your surroundings. No need to worry about your pesky sandwich thief however, they shouldn't be bothering you again anytime soon! Now as far as plants, I find the Candy Corn Plant to be delightful! Chocolate Cosmos are very nice as well, and much to no one's surprise I find the Umbrella Plant fascinating. Also it is quite alright, but I do ask you try and be more careful! It can be dangerous getting lost so frequently.
