The Walter 'Bot's Bedroom for fabulae_victoriana

[OOC: A thread for all bedroom happenings and private threads for the boys and their friends/family, just to keep from royally spamming up the main comm as we already do so very well.

A semi-brief description of the room from Meygan's mind, castmates, hit me if you think otherwise:

One of the larger bedrooms in the house (considering it currently is containing five full-grown automatons and a normal human and an assortment of instruments and the like), with a large window at the back. The walls were covered in The Jon's special brand of artwork, doodles of the world in the way that he saw it, colorful swirls and unidentifiable shapes and other oddities that looked like they came straight out of his music. Looking at these artistic murals for too long tends to make visitors go just a little crazy, seeing and hearing things that weren't actually there, so it is generally advised to never stay too long! His brothers are either immune or just don't even notice the crazy anymore. Likely the second.

The floor, despite The Spine's best effort, is usually quite dirty, boots and socks and clothes and gloves and hats and hula hoops and just about everything else littered around the place. If one The Jon was messy, two was just complete chaos. There was just no taming that mess.

Currently, the six inhabitants of the room share, two ye olde Victorian-style bunk beds. The Spine and Rabbit take one, while Hatchy, the two The Jons, and Michael take the other. Hatchworth has the bottom, which leaves Michael squished between both Jons on the top bunk. No doubt they tumble headfirst out of that precarious sleeping space quite often. Luckily for The Jons', they have thick brassy heads and likely won't even awaken from the fall.

Considering they are doing their damned best to keep up with busking and their father is on the hunt to find them real venues to perform, their musical instrument selection no doubt takes up a very large amount of the free space available there.

I think I'll try to update a list inside of this thread to keep up with what they've actually managed to acquire. Nice to keep an inventory on these things!

AS FOR NOW, use this thread as you see fit. Throw whatever and whomever you like in.

...Is this a pointless post? Probably. But I'll spam the fuck out of it, so. PURPOSE SERVED.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

And success! Not too bad, Rabbit, not too bad. Down the pitcher went, his fingers wrapping around the glass to chug the cold liquid down, emptying the cup in a matter of seconds which just had hot steam puffing out from his vents in reply.

"I'll l-l-let Pappy know that then." And wasn't it so much like Rabbit to accidentally pick the most expensive district within the city?

"But 'nuff o' them. Ya havin' fun? This th' kinda St. Brigid's ya expected?"

"I am having a lot of fun," Rabbit got a quick little kiss to the cheek, "and far better than I could ever expect."

She ment it.

Not longer after a large plate was set on the table, filled with all kinds of different foods that likely originated from different countries. All freshly made to order, the place priding itself on quality food and service; there was no boasting, only showing. Phillipe bowed with a pleasent 'Enjoy!' before going back to attending other tables.

"You know, I still don't know what half of these things are."

And yet she ate it anyway. They were quite the compatible match now, weren't they?

But if Alyss wasn't sure what was what, Rabbit would just have to step up and educate her, just like he'd been doing since they first met. The robot was quick to point out what he knew. "Those are m-m-moooozzarella sticks, nachos, some kinda tasty bread, I dunno what, but it's good!" What bread wasn't? "An', uh, I think that's some kinda greeny vegetable thing." Blah. "An' lil' m-mini enchiladas! Which are always th' best! Mexican food is a robut's f-fav."

If it smelled good, tasted good, why not eat it? The name of a food didn't matter otherwise.

"Mexican food? One of The Jon mentioned that once, something about.." pausing as she pulled a mozarella stick apart to watch the cheese stretch, "Quesadillas?" wow that was a funny word to say, not even sure if she remembered it right.

Made enough sense to Rabbit!

"Yep, sounds like Th'Jon. We all l-love it, but he's gotta..." His fingers wiggled above the table in the air vaguely, attempting to find the right word. "-certain affinity for quesadillas an' th' like. An' hot dogs. An' ice cream." ... "-An' just 'bout everything h-h-he can stick in his mouth." A creaky shrug of his shoulders, simply content enough in watching the woman at his side pull food apart and enjoy it.

"Kid just l-likes t' eat."

Everything was pulled apart before eating, all into smaller bites that could be eaten with fingers. What were utensils again? She never really had need for them herself, unless it was a butterknife to smear things on toast.

"They'd really like this place then, I'd imagine," so much food. One had asked if there was a mexican resteruant or something in the city, well there was an answer to that now. "You could take a menu home from here to show them."

Why? Why not.

"Shore, s-sounds like somethin' they'd like." Not that Rabbit was really thinking of his younger brothers at all when Alyss was popping treats into her mouth like that so cutely, the 'bot unable to stop himself from snatching one of the slices of bread, ripping off and piece and offering it to the woman. To feed her of course.

Food was great, but it looked a whole lot better when Alyss was eating it instead of him.

Alyss leaned closer, taking that piece from Rabbit's fingers easily enough, tongue brushing along her bottom lip-

"And this is something that I like," whether she ment him feeding her or just being him was anyone's guess; likely a combination of both, though.

"Yeah?" Rabbit leaned in with a devious, sharpening twist to his grin, knees brushing against Alyss', closing some of the distance between them before he was offering the woman another bite. Oh my, getting a little cozy at their table, aren't they?

"Good food? Better company?"

Someone have a little self-control. Eventually. It was almost funny how easily she could just forget there were other people around in moments such as this. Him having her full attention.

"The best company," taking that bite a little slower with a low hum.

Of course Rabbit was watching with a glimmer of approval in his mismatched optics, coyly brushing her lips when the last of the bread disappeared into the woman's mouth, gloved fingertips trailing towards her cheek. What other people? There were other people here? The 'bot had absolutely forgotten just where they were and why and just about everything else.

"....Ya m-make eatin' real interestin', Alice."

"You certainly help with that, Rabbit."

It was so very easy to forge-

Alyss startled a little as a few colorful flowers was set on the table just between her and Rabbit by an older woman; that was a very knowing smile she was wearing as well. Two others behind her, a young man and a young woman, tossing four large handfuls of petals into the air above them, "Gift for the happy couple!" No judgement, just the sort of congratulating tone that was ment.

They were three of the performers from the latest dance troupe to take the floor, if the way they dressed was any indication, and with that they more or less danced off in twirling fabric back to the rest.

... Oh, they were in public. Right. What just happened.

Shit. That hadn't at all been what Rabbit had meant to happen tonight. Absolutely not.

He hissed a brief burst of warm steam in surprise at the gift, the unexpected sweetness that came behind it, but it was easy enough to see that if robots had the ability to blush, he'd be more than a little red at that display and attention the pair had been given.

When the entertainers disappeared back into their troupe, smiling and eager to perform now that their good deed of the day had been done, some cute celebration with a new couple, Rabbit turned a twitchy look to Alyss, a mild frown at his mouth. "S-s-sss-s-sorry, didn't mean t' get all handsy... I'll w-watch it."

Alyss lightly patted Rabbit's hand, still staring off to where the three had vanished amongst the rest, "No need to be sorry-

"What just happened, though?" Because she has never seen something like that happen before, and is now peering a little curiously at the flowers laid down, picking a stray petal from her hair.

"Ehhhhhhhh-" Rabbit allowed his own gaze to follow after the strangers before his shoulders creaked in a shrug, reaching over to brush some of the petals out of Alyss' food. Not that he minded eating strange things, but the woman might not enjoy it so much.

Humans were so picky.

"I dunno. Guess they were j-just being cute at us, sayin' congrats an' all. Didn't seem rude. Just...w-weird."

Don't mind that she's chewing on that petal she picked from her hair then, little nibbly chewing.

"Weird." She shrugged a little after, attention turning back towards Rabbit, "You've some petals on your hat." That had been a lot of petals, jeeze.

...Alyss, you really were something, weren't you?

Rabbit made no move to brush off the flowers that litered his hat and broad shoulders, simply letting them stay where they had settled all over him, the 'bot scooting close enough to keep a hand over Alyss' knee, patting there fondly, but moving his attention back to the performance that was about to begin. No more feeding.

In public, that is. But tomorrow for breakfast back at home? That was a different story.

She was something alright.

Alyss nibbled at one of the mozzarella sticks left, attention drifting towards the dancers when the music begain to play in some curiousity. It was quite the colorful display, each dressed in long flowing garments made to more or less float along behind them with every movement.

It was pretty.

It was pretty, a colorful and attention grabbing display, at least for some of the performance. But dance really wasn't much of Rabbit's thing, to be perfectly honest. The copper 'bot's dwindling attention began to fail him halfway, his copper fingers drumming against the tabletop before he was stealing away some of the woman's food, nosily chewing on an enchilada while his gaze drifted from here to there around the room. Usually following right back to Alyss before he made another futile attempt to pay attention.

Please be over soon...

Alyss lightly brushed a few fingers over Rabbit's cheek, "There's a check under the plate. Leave some money and let's be off to the park, hm?"

Twirling colors could only keep her attention for so long, really. She quickly got bored of some of her own little colorful parties, really.

The 'bot blinked at her.

"Ya shore? Ya d-don't wanna watch more or finish more o' yer food? I can wait." Just because his interest had dwindled didn't mean Alyss had to get up and leave so immediately. Rabbit was trying his hardest to keep himself together.

Alyss snorted faintly in amusment, chin rested against knuckles, toying with a few of the fallen petals.

"I can only watch so much of people twirling around in colorful clothing, Rabbit dear," and her tone was still rather cheerful, tapping the end of his nose next, "and I've eaten enough."

Well, if that was what she wanted…

Rabbit pulled out some handful of bills from one of his pockets, staring at it briefly before he just threw down whatever amount he'd had - enjoy the generous tip from the robot who doesn't handle his finances very well - and then took Alyss' hand in his and guided her out of the establishment, tipping his hat towards the doorman who was quick to get the door for the cute pair.

"T' th' park?"

The flowers that had been set down on the table were taken in hand after taking Rabbit's, petals falling from her hair and shoulders as she went; a few petals clung however, and it made for a strangely pretty image.

"To the park-"

Out the door, a flower she had broken from its stem was tucked rather neatly and securely on the 'bots vest, just near a button, "You know, the only performance I've ever seen here to keep my attention has been you and your brothers." She'd stumbled upon their busking.

Alyss always made for a strangely pretty image, which her pale coloring and daintiness and those glowing eyes of hers.

Rabbit grinned at the plant that was tucked so cutely into his vest, halting in their walk momentarily only to pluck one of those flowers out of Alyss' delicate hands to slide it above her ear, into her lovely hair, before they were off towards their destination. "Ya mean it? Ain't just s-sayin' it cause yer datin' th' lead singer?"
