Ben: "Yo dad I just secured a ps5 pre order under your credit card how fun is that. It's $500 plus taxes."

He let out a long breath. Did this young man not just hear him threaten the life of a toddler in earnest? Did he think that he was immune to his wrath by dint of their common blood?

“Son,” Robotnik clapped a hand on Ben’s shoulder and squeezed, and squeezed... “I don’t know why you think that I won’t get sick of you, kill you, chop you into pieces, and feed you to the lab rats. Can you please tell me why you think that I won’t quickly grow tired of your childish behavior?” He leaned closer and growled, “can you tell me, child, if you’re smart enough to understand that I’m. Not. Joking?”

[sagemccoy24]

Ben grins and nods at him. He really didn't care much if his father was upset, he was just doing what normal kids did and he had been waiting awhile. "Yeah of course I understand that but why would you want to kill a family member? Besides I've done some good around here too. Let's see, I cleaned up some things around here, stayed out of your way, and showed off my intellect for building like you." He says staring innocently at him.

[jimbotnik]

Ben: The young robotnik teen walked in the lab with a box full of tools and parts for a robot of some kind. He set it down on a nearby table and smiled proudly at his work. He had collected all the parts needed for his new project, the software was all set to go as well. "Hey dad, want to help me build my AI? His name will be Zane."

“Help me understand. Do you want me to help you develop artificial intelligence, do you want to implement this in whatever it is you’re building, or are you under the assumption that the word ‘AI’ means ‘robot?’”

[sagemccoy24]

Ben: Ben turns to his father and smiles some. "I'm well aware of what it is, I want the program to access the robot so it can do daily tasks as well. It's similar to a character from iron man. I would like help building it and then figuring out how to add the program in."

[jimbotnik]

Robotnik sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Of course, the boy wanted to build something he’d seen in a comic book. Of course. Well, maybe Ben would be less sullen if he agreed to this, less likely to allow his resentment of his father to grow until he eventually killed him--or attempted to. This confrontation was inevitable. No one approached their parents without a healthy dose of violent urges, especially if they’d never met them before.

He stood up from his chair and stepped up to the table. He rummaged through the box of parts, his brows furrowed. “Do you have any documentation about this AI? Any blueprints? Schematics?” 

Or did you really just march in here with an Erector Set for sad bastard children? He thought. Better not to say that out loud.

[sagemccoy24]

Benjamin tilted his head a bit before looking at the box as well for a moment and listening to the doctor. He was a bit hesitant in asking and wasn't sure why he even bothered. The teen wanted to be of use in a way or try to impress him with something cool. "Yeah I do actually. I brought some of the diagrams and stuff with me in the box and have backups on my laptop." He says and searches the box pulling out a detailed schematic of an android and some information on the AI program. "I think I messed up some on the programming, it's a prototype to see if it's anyway possible." Ben holds out the plans to his father hesitantly. Sure Ivo was his father but he only just met him and there was a lot he didn't know as well as secrets he wished to keep from him. He had no violent intentions but he was harboring angry feelings towards him for obvious reasons.

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik: Ben walked into the lab quietly and stood awkwardly observing whatever Ivo was doing. He usually was silent and tried to stay out of the way when he worked. This time he was hoping to be of use and maybe help with anything. Lowering his headphones from his head to his neck that he turned off the music, he finally after a moment, walked over standing a good distance away and cleared his throat hoping to get his attention. With one hand he combed his fingers through his brown hair.

It was the relative again. How did this one manage to get past his defenses? The doctor turned on him suddenly and drew a gun on him. His drones were trained on the young man, but Robotnik wanted to deal with him personally.

“How many of you do I have to kill?!” He snarled. “It wasn’t enough to hunt me down and make a pathetic attempt on my life, but now they’re enlisting any mouth-breather who shares even a drop of blood with me…” He sneered as he turned off the safety and cocked the pistol. “Tell me, did my mother bear you? I’m so glad to know that she was successful in replacing me!”

Ben Robotnik: Before the young robotnik could reply to his father he felt a sharp pain in his back from the dart. “what was that?” He asks and winches a bit from the pain. His vision started to blur and go fuzzy as he began to lose consciousness. Before he completely lost consciousness he dropped to the ground and stared at the floor. He tried to move but was unable to do so. “Dad… Why?” He asks slowly trying to stay awake.

From his jacket pocket floated out a picture he had grabbed before leaving his last location. The picture was of Christine and Ivo before Ben was born. The teen tried to reach for the photo that laid in between him and his father but the effects of the tranquilizer dart had overwhelmed him and he dropped his hand and head to the ground. The picture was his last resort he had planned to use just before he was hit hoping that too would be enough proof. On the back of the photo there was writing, it seemed to have the date to when the picture was taken.

(OOC) Feel free to add in where the place the Pic was taken and when it was taken if you want.

The doctor rolled his eyes. This boy was very dramatic and irrational for someone who claimed to be his spawn. 

He knelt down and picked up the photo that had fallen out of Ben’s pocket. He examined it for a moment, and when he realized where and when it was taken, he sighed and rubbed his shoulder. Of course. It had to be one of those nights. He remembered this one well. She wasn’t foolish or brave to have gone with him when they met, but an endearing blend of the two. The shut-down theme park, the charred, kudzu-shrouded ruins of Idlecross, the house with the “satanic” altar in it… Robotnik couldn’t help smiling. It was from so many years ago, a time when he could still feel like he was a different person living a different life if he was just drunk enough.

That didn’t confirm this boy’s heritage though. He could have stolen this picture. He could have seen There Will Be Blood and had a “bright” idea. Robotnik shook his head and grabbed Ben by one leg, dragging him out of the lab and down the hall.

Later, his newest guest found himself in a padded cell with a camera in the corner. His shoes, belt, and personal belongings had all been confiscated.

[sagemccoy24]

Ben robotnik: Ben soon awoke and found himself in the padded room. He blinked a bit from the light and looked around to observe his surroundings. He noticed the camera and his stuff taken. Leaning against the wall he waited patiently for someone to come or anything. He looked to the camera. "So am I trapped here or will I be able to walk around. I'll tell you what you want to know." He says to the camera.

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik: Hey dad how's it going. Can I borrow some botniks and stuff for my project. Sorry I can't explain more, it's quite urgent.

Robotnik sighed. "You're going to have to explain, son. What did you do? And hurry—there are several unpredictable, deranged, fully armed people wandering the compound!"

[sagemccoy24]

@jimbotnik

Ben robotnik: "oh yeah about that well you see, I may have accidentally started a mini war between Germany and Japan." The teen says with a nervous laugh.

[jimbotnik]

@sagemccoy24 He slept on it, he had a few drinks, he thought about the advice he'd been given from one of the least chemically imbalanced people he knew, and now here he was here in front of the door to the cell. Robotnik took a deep breath and sighed. If this blew up in his face, well... well, he'd just kill the little bastard and then send Finn a strongly-worded text or two.

The doctor removed one of his gloves and pressed his hand to the pad next to the airlock door. The first door slid open, and he made sure that it was shut tight and locked before he entered the cell. He crossed his arms and stared at Ben. He held up the photo.

"What do you know about the context of this photo? Did she ever discuss this with you?"

[sagemccoy24]

@jimbotnik

Ben had been sitting in his cell quietly thinking about what may happen to him. He couldn't really believe his father had knocked him out and put him where he was now. He wasn't sure how to prove himself much. Soon he heard his cell door open and looked up to see the doctor at the door. He listened to what he had to say and then was quiet for a moment, thinking wisely on his word choice. "To be honest with you she never did speak of you but I guess you were referenced a lot, she would say stuff inferring about you but wouldn't necessarily say your name or anything. I had found the photo when I was little and then she got upset and angry. I don't if it was at me or you, maybe both but she never spoke of you to me. I had to do my own research to find you." The teen spoke calmly and casually sitting on what was his bed. "She isn't alive anymore so I don't know what other proof to give." He adds.

“A wild robotnik has appeared”

(DO NOT feed a Robotnik if it approaches you in the wild! They'll expect food whenever they see a human, and eventually they'll become aggressive and attack children, pets, and the elderly. They are also carry Lyme disease, leprosy, Dutch elm disease, and rabies. Approaching them is NOT recommended, especially if spotted roaming around during the daytime.

If you see a wild Robotnik in your neighborhood, call animal control IMMEDIATELY. Also, please note that it is illegal to own a Robotnik in all fifty states, and that it's impossible to domesticate them due to their combative and territorial nature. Captive Robotniks cannot be reintroduced into the wild and must be euthanized, so please keep this in mind.

Wild Robotniks require miles of space in their natural habitat, and are apex predators. It's best to appreciate them from the safety of your car in a state or national park, or at a zoo where it can be taken care of properly and given adequate space in a secure enclosure.)

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik: dad can I buy a helicopter so I can fly around and attack my enemies?

"Ben, I know that I have a reputation, but there are better ways to handle conflicts. Why don't you tell me what's going on?"

[sagemccoy24]

Ben robotnik: "kids at school keep bullying me cause I like anime. This is one of my favorite songs from a show called naruto." Ben replies showing him the song on his phone.

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik : are you feeling better now dad after your crying fit yesterday?

Robotnik sighed and shook his head as he gently gripped his son's shoulder. "Ben, I don't know if anyone taught you this, but when you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, you need to express them in a positive, cathartic way. I did have a crying fit, and after that I had a headache, but I'm feeling better now. How do you like your new bedroom?"

[sagemccoy24]

Ben robotnik: "I like my new bedroom dad, it's better than my old one. (unless your referring to a cell) With the space I have now I can begin to make my android." Ben says with a smile. He was glad that his father was doing well again after the day of crying. "when it's done I'll show him to you."

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik: Ben walks into the lab seeing his father a mess, crying on the floor against the wall. In one hand he had some food and the other he had a latte from stone. Walking over he set them down before him and backed up some not wanting to bother him.

“Wait!” Robotnik sniffled and wiped the powder off of his mustache. He stood up, unsure of whether he even deserved his son’s forgiveness. “Son... I’m so sorry... I never should have treated you like that. You’re the only family that I have, and I immediately rejected you.”

[sagemccoy24]

Benjamin Robotnik: The teen stopped and listened to his father speak until the end. He was unsure what to say and sighs a bit before walking over to him again. "your serious? You really mean that?" He asks truly unsure if the man was messing with him or was insane. The insane part was probably true to an extent. After speaking Ben thought of hugging him but was unsure how he felt with physical contact from others. He hesitated taking a step forward but didn't act. He felt he shouldn't, no he couldn't show the feelings he felt.

"It's ok I understand. I've been through tough hardships and pain as well. I know how you feel."

[jimbotnik]

father, may i meet this ben robotnik and let him meet myiki robotnik, your from another universe.

Robotnik’s doting smile dropped immediately. His fists clenched. “Who is this Myiki? Where are they?”

[sagemccoy24]

Benjamin Robotnik: Heya I'm Ben, I'm his son. He doesn't think that but I have proof. Who is myiki?

[jimbotnik]

hello dr. eggman, i need to tell you something. I'm your son

"Of course you are!" He smiled and gave him a pat on the head. He was practically beaming with pride. "Technically I didn't beget you like ordinary children, but you are my creation. You are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."

He knew that @sagemccoy24 couldn't hear him from his cell, but he felt a little shiver of vindictive pleasure none the less.

[sagemccoy24]

Benjamin Robotnik: Ben stares from afar his eye twitching a bit in slight disgust. He was right, his father didn't love him, only machines.

[jimbotnik]

Ben robotnik: Ben walked into the lab quietly and stood awkwardly observing whatever Ivo was doing. He usually was silent and tried to stay out of the way when he worked. This time he was hoping to be of use and maybe help with anything. Lowering his headphones from his head to his neck that he turned off the music, he finally after a moment, walked over standing a good distance away and cleared his throat hoping to get his attention. With one hand he combed his fingers through his brown hair.

It was the relative again. How did this one manage to get past his defenses? The doctor turned on him suddenly and drew a gun on him. His drones were trained on the young man, but Robotnik wanted to deal with him personally.

I’m so glad to know that she was successful in replacing me!”

[jimbotnik]

sagemccoy24‌:

Benjamin Robotnik: The teen thought about how he could prove he was Robotnik’s son. There were many ways he could prove it but he also didn’t know much about him. “Hm, I see. So you want proof then. Well then maybe you know Christine. She was my mother and talked about how you liked to make robots for a hobby. I don’t know much about you to be honest really.” Ben shrugs as he speaks honestly. “Besides that she said I look like you. If you want my help I can assist in helping make robots and running anything, like be an assistant.” Ben scratches his head some and looks at him and the drones watching them carefully. He sensed that Ivo didn’t believe him yet still even after the information he gave. He honestly wouldn’t blame him though if he didn’t want him and probably had to work hard to earn his trust.

Robotnik’s smile was vicious as he stared him down. “That’s so sweet. You came all the way here, bypassed my security systems, and evaded all of my employees and my machines just to help your dad with his little hobby! Either you’re the worst liar on the planet or the world’s luckiest idiot.”

He tapped out another command, and one of the drones shot Ben in the back with a tranquilizer dart. The others were ready to fire in case one wasn’t enough.

“You’ve run out of chances to tell me the truth on your own terms. Welcome home, son.”

[sagemccoy24]

Ben robotnik: Ben wasn’t all to amused by his father’s reply but of course one would forget their own child if they had been born to one of many women they had been with. It was normal however for the teen to be forgotten, always being the loner and one left out in school or events. Ben thought for a moment figuring out exactly what he wanted from him. Acknowledgement for sure but what else, all the the kid wanted was a father and/or friend to say look up too. With his mother being dead for a few years now he didn’t have anyone and had been on the search for Robotnik unsure if the man was truly his father for one and if he was, he was the only family Ben had left.

“I’m sorry for coming off rude at first. I was only asking what was on my mind and well trying to get to know you is all. I feel I know you but then I also don’t at the same time. I hope to well, be of use to you and help in any way I can.” He says looking a bit nervous and laughs a little to hide the awkwardness. “I wouldn’t say I’m a miracle nor a disappointment at that but, I feel I have no purpose and I just need someone or thing to give me incentive to have one. Everyone calls me a weirdo and freak for my intellect and such.” A sad look appeared on Ben’s face and he looked down for a moment. He tapped the ground with the front of his shoe for a moment before looking back up at his father waiting for a response or anything really.

Robotnik turned the safety back on his gun and holstered it. He crossed his arms and sighed. This individual, whatever he was, was too pathetic to be an immediate threat to him. Whoever he was working with, however, might be less of a sadsack and more of a legitimate problem. There was only one way to find out, though. He’d find out soon enough what would happen if this boy went missing.

“So you’re really my son… How do I know you’re telling the truth, and why would I need or want your help?” He seemed bored as he stared at one of his gloves. With a few taps and a gyan mudra, a few more drones joined their kin. “Do you have any proof to back your claim? What’s your mother’s name? What did she tell you about your dear old dad?”

[sagemccoy24]

Benjamin Robotnik: The teen thought about how he could prove he was Robotnik's son. There were many ways he could prove it but he also didn't know much about him. "Hm, I see. So you want proof then.

some parents will really be like: “i am going to make a joke that directly references my child’s insecurities, and worse, i am going to do it in public to other people, therefore exposing those insecurities to others” and then turn around and be like “hayden doesn’t really talk to me anymore. they’re so angry all the time and i don’t know why. i am perfect. this is bc of social media.”
