o30 ★ FORGET-ME-NOT

[electrowhipit]

[ ACTION | AROUND TOWN ]

[ Ah, hello Mayfield. It's a beautiful spring day, isn't it? The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a giant robot out for a walk--

Wait, what?

Yes indeed, Jolt is out in his robot mode today- all twenty feet of him- wandering around Mayfield. He won't dare transform, since he has precious cargo clutched carefully in his long fingers.

He's delivering flowers.

All of his lady friends will be getting a little bouquet of bright blue forget-me-nots, delivered right to their door via giant alien robot. It just might... take him a moment to figure out how the hell he's supposed to ring the doorbell.

If you happen to run into him on the street, even if you're not closely acquainted, he has plenty of extra flowers to hand out to the ladies of Mayfield. He's not sure why, but he suddenly feels like all these wonderful women deserve a little something nice. ]

[Patrick is sitting outside, with his drone children, giving 'Mommy' a break. He sort of likes his kids - they're adorable without being grating about it. Besides, he was always fond of being called 'Daddy'.]

[He's on a bench, enjoying an ice cream cone and they're playing cheerily and waving at him, when the ... giant ... robot ...comes walking through.]

[The children are non-plussed. Patrick, a little more so.] ...Well. I honestly can't say I expect that.

[ If he's got a little girl, Jolt will stop to give her a flower. Either way, he waves at Patrick. ]

Giving the wife a break?

[productiverevenge]

[The little girl giggled and stuck it in her hair, before flouncing off. Patrick watched her, then the robot with a bemused expression.]

Ah. Yes. She's having a beauty parlor day, and I haven't figured what I do for a living so ...

[electrowhipit]

Ah, new here?

[productiverevenge]

[Patrick grinned up at the robot, shading his eyes from the sun.]

Just a few days old, give or take. That obvious, or is the economy that great in Mayfield that everyone has a job?

[electrowhipit]

Usually you'll get a phone call from your employer wanting to know why you haven't been at work, but it does take a few days.

[productiverevenge]

I figured if I just waited, this place would figure it out for me.

[Patrick smiled sunnily, as he focused back in on his ice cream. He took a few bites to keep it from melting everywhere, then asked.] So - twenty odd feet tall robot. How do they keep you om a leash?

[electrowhipit]

The same way they keep everyone else on a leash- they're more powerful than I am.
