CHARACTERS: Peridot, Pearl, and OPEN!

DATE: After Oska-sim, before the Team-Bonding tasks event

WARNINGS: Robotic dismemberment, maybe.

SUMMARY: Robot fights??? Robot fights.

• BEFORE THE FIGHT •

[Now that Oska has been "fixed"… it's about time to mess it up again. At least in a contained way that doesn't involve any "false realities." Two large, pilot-able robots stand opposite each other in a large ring, circled off with linked rope and poles.

One robot is a bright green color, diamond shaped with claw-like hands, and shorter than the other robot. The second robot is tall, smoother looking, with longer "legs" and pastel colored.

Both are unoccupied… for now, but outside of the ring is a crudely, and almost lazily painted sign with the words:
]

BUY TICKETS HERE

[…Someone's selling tickets to this??

Maybe someone else is nearby who can answer some questions… Or maybe also has no idea what's about to happen, but hey, feel free to look around anyway.
]

THE FIGHT

[A. - Closed to Peridot and Pearl]

[Now that the tickets have been sold, both Gems arrive at the arena.

After inspecting the area marked for their fight, and then inspecting her own robot to make sure Pearl hadn't tried to CHEAT while she was away, Peridot climbs into her own robot, testing the controls. It works just as well as it did when she first assembled it, so everything seems fine. As Pearl climbs into her own robot, Peridot calls out a taunt.
]

I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO PRACTICE BOWING AGAIN, RENEGADE SCUM!!

[B. - Open To All]

[Oh, so that's why those giant robots were there. An old fashioned showdown, This Town Isn't Big Enough For The Both Of Us-style... But no guns and quick drawing, and with robots instead? Seems like it. Feel free to watch, and maybe wind up dodging some torn up dirt as the fight processes.]

Honest my ass! Robot fights should be a public service!

[ Once he's all put back together, she pulls the ticket out and hands it over. ]

Now can I go in?!

[He pushes back her hand, shaking his head.]

You can, just hold onto it. Y'know, in case anyone asks to see it...otherwise you might get thrown out.

[ She shrugs, and pockets it again, and turns like she's going to go watch the fight, but then turns back to him. ]

Hey. Come with me! And don't tell me you're too busy, I already know how good you are at slacking off.
humerous: (pic#)

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
...you go on ahead. I'll meet up with you.

[Like he will quite literally just show up beside her once she's found herself a spot to spectate from, in typical Sans fashion.

Unless she's not used to that yet; then hoo boy.

[personal profile] aspearation 2016-03-14 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shrugging, she finds herself a spot; and while she's not exactly used to him just showing up out of nowhere, she's not surprised, either.

She's awkwardly silent for a moment, because she realizes that they so rarely hang out for reasons that have nothing to do with Papyrus. And not without reason, but here they are, and she's not really sure what to say. ]


How about... that... weather??

[ Hey. At least they're above ground, where there's actually weather to talk about. ]

[............

Wow.

Talk about........awkward.

..........silence.

...........

That's a long pause alright.... ..........really.

Sure is.........going on.......needlessly so.

When.........will it end?

right now.
]

Yep.

[And he pulls out a comb and just starts combing his skull. In the silence.]

Look...you don't have to force yourself or anything.

We're just two very different people, 'dyne. It happens.
aspearation: (pic#9986748)

[personal profile] aspearation 2016-03-14 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not!

[ Yes she is. ]

I've known you and Papyrus for how long, and I know pretty much everything about him, but I barely know anything about you, except what he told me. Don't you think that's weird?
humerous: (pic#)

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-15 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. I mean, It's not like I'm keeping some kind of huge bunch of secrets from you guys, yanno.

[lmao]

Him an' me are just...opposites. He tells people everything, I don't. What's so weird about that?
aspearation: (pic#9798309)

[personal profile] aspearation 2016-03-15 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to tell people everything. Besides slacking off, I don't even know what kind of things you're into?? He never really talks about that.

[ At least not in any capacity that Undyne takes at face value, not when she really thinks about it. ]
humerous: (pic#)

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-16 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Hyperbole, Undyne, hyperbole...but whatever.

He almost considers giving Papyrus as an answer just to be a cheeky little shit, but if this is like...genuinely something she's trying to work on, he'll be serious just this once.
]

Well. [...] I bake, sometimes.
aspearation: (pic#9986743)

[personal profile] aspearation 2016-03-16 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, seriously?!

[ She can't remember if Papyrus had mentioned something like that before, but it seemed like she would if he ever had. It's a big enough surprise to her now that it sticks out. ]

Like, cakes and stuff like that?
humerous: (pic#)

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-19 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, cakes not so much...usually just for Papyrus' birthday.

But I've made quiches and pies before. Gave cookies a stab at Christmas too; don't think they came out all that bad either.

[Sans "i know a lot about food but my diet is garbage" the skeleton.]

[personal profile] aspearation 2016-03-19 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
You've been holding out on me all this time?!

[ How did she never know this? She feels so betrayed, somehow. ]

Papyrus and I were going to try cooking some new stuff, but the kitchen has everything already so there's no point. Maybe when we go back, we could. Uh. Bake something together??

[ She sounds unsure about the going back part. ]
humerous: (pic#)

1/3 maybe

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-20 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Wow, this is...weird. Not exactly what he expected to hear from her, but there's no reason not to, right?

Oh, wait, there are plenty of reasons. But he can take care of all of them in one go.
]

You know...considering this isn't your kitchen to burn down, I'm gonna need you to do exactly as I say, right? No "it'll cook in half the time at double the temperature" or something.

No...literally pounding the pound cake.

And when I say beat the eggs, I don't want you to take that literally either.

Hey!! What are you trying to say, exactly?! I'll show you pound cake--

[ She has no right to be offended. It's not her first time at the rodeo, and it wouldn't be her first time burning down the house.

A castle would be a new achievement though. ]

i guess we can end it here!

[personal profile] humerous 2016-03-22 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'm all for it...once the show's over that is.

[Oh yeah and giant robots are still fighting?? he hasn't been paying attention, but there you go.

Lookit 'em go.

Pew.

Pow.
