Can you top this?

Salutations! Top Man, aka DWN-021, at your service. I once scavenged on other planets for minerals, but that's history! In fact, you probably read this before so yadda yadda! I'm not a Wikipedia article. Anyway, I follow my own beat now. And I still reign supreme as best dancer ever built! (Please, hold your applause.) -- OOC: AMR blog! Icon by Nie.

Never had one, no idea what you’re talking about.

You don’t remember that lil blog you had? I never understood it, honestly. You guys sure loved your filters.

[takeitfromthetop]

Liking colorful pictures of things makes you a hipster? Come now, Hard. I always liked colors.

Maker damnit I slept through Halloween again.

Probably for the better considering your Halloween plans this year…..

Eh, there’s always next year. Maybe I’ll dress up as you from when you were in your “hipster” phase, heheh.

But if they’re dead, how’re they s’posed to eat it.

The food is for the dead to enjoy while they are in the afterlife. If you want food for Dia de los Muertos for yourself that badly, you could just go out for something like those “burgers” I’ve seen humans eat. The traditional food is for the ones who are no longer in this life.

Why are you so invested in humans? You’re a robot. We don’t even die.

Is there an off switch for your angst?

[takeitfromthetop]

While you people were all busy being depressing and inactive, I put the time aside this year to make a costume and had fun this Halloween!

See? I was a witch this year! If only I could have brought the Tama out with me.

[hadoman]

Hey, Hard Man! Halloween's gonna be coming up soon, so what kind of costume do you plan on wearing?

Hmm… I’m thinkin’ of dressin’ up like Top this year, heheh.

[takeitfromthetop]

Awwww, Hard! I’m so flattered!

…It’s supposed to be flattery, right?

[takeitfromthetop]

The last thing I need is more reasons for him to be on my case. Now will you shut up and come open the door? You could use the exercise.

[hadoman]

Can’t you open it? I’m comfy here, c’mon.

[geminimandwn019]

If any of you nincompoops so much as set a foot in my room I will kill you both. Do I make myself clear? Top, it is not my job to entertain you the moment you become “bored”, only boring people become bored. Figure it out yourself, you are not a fresh of the assembly line bot! 

[takeitfromthetop]

See what I mean?

Anyway yes, mom, I won’t touch anything..

I’ll just go hang out with my friends. Do you even have friends, Gemini? You sound like the boring one to me.

[takeitfromthetop]

He can read this, Hard.

[hadoman]

Yeah? Then it’ll get him over there faster, heh.

[takeitfromthetop]

[takeitfromthetop]

No use, I already checked there! Whatever, if he’s going to be that way then I’m going to your place.

[hadoman]

Don’t matter if he’s there or not. I’m sure makin’ a mess of his room will make him come runnin’.

[takeitfromthetop]

He can read this, Hard.

[hadoman]

Hard, I'm bored! I can't find Gemini anywhere! I think he's avoiding me again, typical.

Again? Well if that’s how he’s gonna be, maybe we should pay his room a lil visit, heh.

[takeitfromthetop]

Hey, hi, excuse me guys? For our next fortress...

You’ve lived here for how long and you still don’t know where the cliff edges are?

The pavement is hard to stop on with wheels.

[hadoman]

Man.

[takeitfromthetop]

I’ll say!

While you were “napping”, Gemini pulled himself out of stasis. Why don’t you take a page from our big brother, come outside, and greet him? Hmm?

[hadoman]

…Huh, he did? 

I’m gonna be honest, Top, I ain’t got a clue how long I was out for this time. A while, judgin’ by all the dust. I ain’t missed anythin’ else important, have I?

[takeitfromthetop]

Yes, he did! You’ve been out for 3 months, but now’s not the time to dwell! I sure hope Gemini coming out of a 3 year stasis is enough to make you come out. 

Don’t make me come in there and literally kick you out myself.

[hadoman]

Man.

I really gotta start settin’ alarms before I take naps.

[takeitfromthetop]

I’ll say!

lmao sure you’re not

Indeed I’m not, so now that we’re on the same page can we make this happen? You would be sad if it were Quickman that barreled over.

Well, someone else would be. I don’t know.

[takeitfromthetop]

Hey, hi, excuse me guys? For our next fortress project, can we build a fence out in the back so speedbots don’t bolt off the cliff? It’s really hard to stop on the paved terrain, especially with wheels.  Thank you.

...I’m not the only one with this problem.

[flowerfancier]

I’m never certain nowadays whether I’m just getting very old or if climate change is bad enough to fry my processor. One of these days something will have to give. I wonder if I could be happy growing plants in cold climates…

[takeitfromthetop]

Doesn’t the frog do that for a living?

Anyway, I’m rather sick of the heat myself. If we ever move this island away from the equator, you’re welcome to come stay for a while. The greenery is charming, and the beach is gorgeous.

Well, if you ignore the ocean being hundreds of feet down below.

[geminimandwn019]

Waking Up.

[geminimandwn019]

Gemini follows Top, trying his best not to look amused. Top wasn’t amusing. He wasn’t enjoying this. But he looks at the elevator with a critical eye, will it even take their combined weight? Well, that is the point of adventure. He finally shrugs and steps on. “Lead on, Top.” 

He stands in the elevator as the door closes and feels it lurch downwards. “This is a huge floating island correct? Do you think anything is flooded?” He was water tight, sure, but salt could easily wreck havoc on his crystalline layers. “I wonder if any of the other generations are down here…hidden away in the dark. Keep your guard up, Top. Not all DWN’s see us as their own.” 

[takeitfromthetop]

The elevators aren’t like the ones inside office buildings; these were designed and reinforced to carry tons. Large and spacious like the kind of lifts that carry cars. The elevator was rather dim itself, the glowing buttons barely providing light. As it rattles down, Top flips his flashlight function on and sighs, “Gemini, please. I know. How old are we now? They’ve made themselves clear, especially to “runts” like us. If we keep our lights on, we can see properly. And if someone tries to ambush us, have your clones distract them while I get us out of there.”

They’re almost there, an eerier silence filling the elevator. Something about the dark always spooked the smaller bot, even as a robot who spent his birth year in the dark trenches of space.  

Humming quietly to himself, he tries not to look nervous. They can do this, they’ve done it before. What could possibly go wrong? The shaft continues to hum and creak.

He follows up, “I may not be not strong, but I am fast. If you’re worried about the elements, my armor is plenty resistant. I’ll advance where you can’t.” He was going to offer to protect him, but both knew how silly that would have been.
