I see it, Tetsu. Permission to engage granted.

This should be interestin'.

[clanking noises, and muttering.]

Well, this is certainly not what I...eh. [loud 'ROAR' noise, and then a smaller sort of chirping screech.]

No, y'don't wanna get up yet, kid. I'm not done putting y'together. An' Tetsu. Try an' keep the largest ones from doin' damage. That's all.

[sound of a blowtorch starting]

Now as for you, little one...you need a name.

...Tetsu?


...

...

...


Captain. Go fetch y'r idiot. He's gone and passed out. Tetsu should have 'im.

Ha. I swear they're more human than the humans sometimes. It's like bein' back at home, really.


[humming, and the sound of glass clinking]

...Yes, I think we'll go with that. [soft hooting, and a low chuckle] You're right, 003. Let's get cracking.

Well, now that I'm back it's best to get back to work on stuff an' things an' this an' that. So much to do...and proper time t' do it in. Cid! I've some blueprints I'd think y'wanna have a look at.

And Kaito. I need t' do a diagnostic on you, so getcher blue ass over here~

[crackle of static for a long time and then--]

What th' Hell---


[BOOM. Voice post over]

Ah, there's another curse...?Maybe it'll make things more interesti--

....


My hair?!

[ooc: Go on. Guess what part's changing colors.]

...Hmm. Think I need to upgrade the firewall on Mother-dearest.

So...How many of you're androids? And how many are like that adorable little blue-haired bon?

On a separate note. Last I remember, there were a fair few of ya with mechanical expertise. I gotta project to do, but I could use a little help, if any'ya are interested in it. ♥

[soft metallic growling noises--multiple growling noises, in fact.]

Yeah, yeah, I know. But y've got some work to do, so I c'n finish this baby.

[almost an inquiry-growl there]

Nah, none of that. Just need y'to keep an eye on things. [clanking sounds of something running off.]

...I shoulda done this a while ago. Bon, can you bring me a pencil and some paper?

[ooc: Watari built mechanical hounds. They'll just prowl the city...watching. They won't attack anyone--they're just there to feed information to tetsu. Have a nice day.]

...Huh?

...Ah, yeah...it's complicated, so just...keep clear, baby.

[the sound of paws on metal floor, the woosh of a soldering iron, and then--that familiar metallic roar]

Heh. Welcome back, darlin'.

Now get out there. Y' got a job t' do, but don't worry. Y' won't be doing it alone fer long.

[soft laughter] Now g'wan, Tetsu. Let's get this party started.

[ooc: GUESS WHO'S BACK. :D]

Kind of annoyin', to have this place take away my baby...

And Mother's not doing as great, either.

Guess I'll just have to start from scratch. It's not like I really need t' sleep, anyway.

Bon, knock before coming in. I'm gonna be busy for a while.

Lord, it's been a long time. But the results should be worth it

Oh, and by the way, y'all? Quit decorating the clocktower with that shit. It's a goddamn mess and an eyesore, and in completely bad taste.

If there 'r any o' ya that haven't changed back by next week, I'll take care of it then. I don' wanna hear complaints until then.

[ooc: This is broadcast over every computer in the network, assuming that's okay with the mods]

...Dull. It's all so dull. Why're people always so gloomy? It's annoyin'.

Bon, y'holding up alright? I think there's a library in the city that c'n use employees.

...Ah, there's no hope for that, then. I've no choice now--!

What a waste. But setbacks can't keep a good scientist down!

Finally.

To those affected: Antidotes are in the lobby. If those don't work, contact me and I'll personally deal with the problem. If nothing else, all the effects should have worn off by the end of the week.

And another note; I am, for the moment, assuming it was an act of the Hotel that tampered with my laboratory. If I find any evidence to the contrary, and it was one of you, then rest assured, reperations will be made.

Those of you wishing to vent your frustrations on me can bloody well try. Good goddamn luck.




...Hisoka. How are you feeling?
[Filtered; Whoever has the other supercomputer]
Well well well what is this? Quite an impressive fellow, Mother.

Mind telling me what you're doing with something like this, gents?

*very, very angry sounding meowing, and the sound of keys being smacked angrily with a paw*

*crashing sounds, and muttered swearing*

Bloody ridiculous-look at this mess! As if th' curse hadn't caused enough problems?


*a weak, almost pathetic roar, and then a sigh* No, I'm not angry at ya, Tetsu. But I'm gonna make a coupla modifications to y'r temper first.

*another soft roar, and then a small hooting noise* ...Yeah, tha's....that's a good plan, 003. *sound of a blowtorch firing up* But I'll hafta work through th' night to get it done quickly...Well, wouldn't be th' first time, eh?

*another hoot, and some chuckling* That? No, there's no need to worry about it...

Besides, ya know what'll happen if I sleep t'night, anyways.

*more mechanical building sounds, before the recording clicks off*

...Oh that's amusing.

Nice try, little one, but it'll be harder than that. ♥

I guess it's time I ran the first test...I'll let your fun last a little longer.

[ooc: The Matt Virus reached Watari, and sir computer-in-brain just Lol'd...and bounced the virus right back at them. Cheers!]

That's finally finished, then. *sounds of something large and metallic moving...creaking...roaring?*

That's it, baby. Y' have work to do. Now get goin'. Th' noise is gettin' ridiculous, and it's gotta stop so I can finish working.

*sort of an inquiring, metalling roar, and then a soft chuckle*

Yeah, y'need a name. How about...Tetsu? Not very original, but it suits ya.

*rooooar, and the sounds of something large and heavy stomping off, followed by Watari's laughter before the post clicks off*

Alright, that's done with. Whoever knows the location of our new flora, let me know, and I'll be down there with the antidote~

Just one thing! The stuff needs body heat to activate, or it won't that effect! You have been warned.

Fuck!

[Filtered to anyone and everyone with a background in science/potions and/or crime-fighting]

There's a toxin in the water. Plant-based...I've never seen anything like this before, but it's going to go into it's final stage soon. I don't think it's fatal, but I need any and all help I can get to synthesize an antidote.

And then we need to stop it at the source. Got any ideas?
[end filter]

ATTENTION NEWCOMERS;

Don't drink the water. It's not good for you right now, and we're working on fixing it.

All those who have had water from the hotel taps, please leave a note here! We need to know so we can help you recover.
