The Walter 'Bot's Bedroom for fabulae_victoriana

[malfunctionbot]

[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.

Current occupants:

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

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.

[malfunctionbot]

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?"

[wishforaneye]

"I don't ever say anything I don't mean," even when not in her right mind. Whatever mind she's in means what is said, when it is said. Which gets confusing and is luckily nothing that needed to be delt with outside of the Abyss, "I never knew you created music like that."

Hear that, Rabbit? Got a girl who didn't know you were so talented and had hips that didn't lie.

[malfunctionbot]

Rabbit's grin only brightened a bit at that, some hint of stroked ego shining beneath his copper faceplates as the pair moved quickly through the city this time, on their way to the park that they had claimed for their own sometime earlier on a different adventure. "I'm r-real glad ya like it. S'what I was built t' do, so if I sucked, I g-guess I wouldn't have much o' a purpose. Probably b-be dismantled for parts or somethin'." A pause, a turn to the left, away from another crowd of stares.

"What would'ya s-say if I said I was maybe writin' a song or two 'bout you?" Rabbit was the love song guru. Was there every any doubt where he got his best inspiration from?

[wishforaneye]

She patted Rabbit's arm lightly, "Then I'm glad you get to do it," because purpose was there for a reason, wasn't it? "You've some lovely movements as well." Yes, she was going to go there eventually, it couldn't be helped. His brothers were talented too, but why should she talk about them when he was there? All of them sounded so wonderful when they harmonized, complimented one another.

Alyss would likely never tire of their performances.

"That I'd love to hear them when you've finished."

[malfunctionbot]

"O' course ya'll hear it when I'm done. Just gotta make it as perfect as ya are." Because when it came to Alyss and music, Rabbit didn't half-ass anything.

As if Rabbit was all distressed that the topic of their lovely conversation was him alone and not about his brothers for the moment. He was honestly eating it up, beaming and playful and absolutely affectionate. One of his betters moods, though Alyss always did manage to bring that out of him, didn't she?

"My movements?" The 'bot leaned in with a sharper twist to his grin, squeezing her hand, pulling her a little closer. "Y-y-ya enjoy my movements?" Of course she meant his dancing, but how could his gear-driven mind not go into a more suggestive direction?

[wishforaneye]

She laughed softly, "If anyone can manage, it's you."

There was that lovely little gleam in her eyes at being pulled closer, and that was indeed her hand brushing against one of Rabbit's hips, simply because she could, public be damned.

"I enjoy them so very, very, much."

Dayum.

[malfunctionbot]

One of those sensitive areas of his, layers of expensive fabric and belts or not, so the brush had Rabbit's attention immediately, his grip on her hand tightening, optics brightening in a quickly flashing flare. But only for a moment, then the 'bot's pace was increasing just a little on their way forward, pulling Alyss with him.

"L-l-let's g-get t' th' park an' finish off this date so we can g-get home. Gotta real strong cravin' for toast right 'bout now."

[wishforaneye]

"Toast, hm?"

Alyss could keep up easily enough, as if he ever took steps quicker than she could manage she simply let herself be tugged alongg while not even touching the ground. An easy little trick, and it was amusing.

"I could certainly go for a bit of toast myself."

[malfunctionbot]

How was it possible for one woman to be so perfect for him?

With the increased speed, it didn't take long at all for Rabbit and Alyss to find their favorite isolated piece of the park, nearby the duck pond that the copper 'bot so enjoyed frequenting, especially since no one else in the city ever seemed to go there.

When they arrived, Rabbit plopped in his usual spot, pulling the woman with him gently.

[wishforaneye]

With Rabbit in his spot Alyss happily sat herself on the 'bot's lap as if it were nothing at all, leaning against him comfortably. He was the best seat, after all, for various reasons.

That, and she simply adored being close to him.

[malfunctionbot]

Plopped in his lap, Rabbit was all too quick to bring Alyss closer to his chest before he was falling backwards onto the grass, dragging her back with him, her safely sitting atop him.

The 'bot grinned up fondly when his head hit the ground, up at the woman, keeping her close and tight with one arm wrapped around her waist, free hand reaching up to brush the hair from her face. "Cozy?"

[wishforaneye]

"Very," and she was, minimal movement needed in shifting as she settled there on and against him, eyes closed with a smile in place, "Nothing more cozy than this."

Fingertips brushed over Rabbit's cheek, a sort of caress. How quickly she had grown so very fond of him.

[malfunctionbot]

As she settled into his arms, Rabbit's own optic shutters closed, the hum of his blue matter-powered core strong against the sweet woman curled against him, his boiler bubbling and keeping her warm despite the chilly February weather.

"I c-couldn't agree more," came that reply, tone lifting just a little when her fingers touched his heated cheek, that sweet caress only making Rabbit release a steamy sigh of contentment.

[wishforaneye]

Alyss let her fingers trail over his cheek slowly, over vents, and down along his neck. It wasn't long untill her hand rested against Rabbit's chest, fingertips idily tracing unseen shapes on his vest.

Even moments like these were amongst her favorites with the copper 'bot. Sometimes just being with him was enough; listening to his inner workings and feeling his warmth. It brought an odd sort of comfort she enjoyed.

[malfunctionbot]

For a robot like Rabbit, whose mind was always ticking ahead at full steam, thoughts constantly tumbling and turning and sparking within him, silence just was so rarely an option. Quietness was just a completely awkward affair, even among his brothers at times, the still air seemingly stifling enough that he had to butt in with some comment or other, anything to break the lull in conversation.

But sometimes, every now and then, he didn't feel quiet so twitchy and engulfed by the quiet when alone with Alyss. Sometimes it was comfortable and nice. Like now, with her fingers dancing across his face, his neck, his chest. Peeking an optic open at her, his own grip around her waist loosening enough that he could run fingers lightly down her spine.

[wishforaneye]

She leaned back against those fingers, a soft sound escaping her as fingertips pressed against his chest. Smiling, Alyss pressed her face against Rabbit's chest as well, "You know," pausing just to peer up at him, that soft glow of her eyes easily seen.

"I don'tt think I've ever been this content to stay in one place."

[malfunctionbot]

"T' b-be honest," Rabbit sighed at that lovely sound she made, hands drifting along her slender body still, briefly giving the woman a tickle at her sides, nothing too terrible to disrupt this closeness between them.

He really wouldn't like to her to move at this moment in time. "I think I feel th' same way, B-b-been a real long time since anyone's made me feel this good." A blink before both optics, green and blue, were staring up into her own glowing gaze. "Didn't t-think I was capable o' it anymore really, but ya proved me wrong." A delicate pause, fingers still grazing across her. "S-s-sometimes I think this has gotta be a dream."

[wishforaneye]

She only squirmed a little, giggling as she pressed closer instead of away from him. Not terribly ticklish, at least.

Her hand lifted from his chest, rest near his jaw as her thumb brushed along the metal slowly, "This is far better than any of my dreams," If she dreamed at all, darkness and madness all she had ever known, along with lonliness for the longest of times, "and it feels terribly real to me.

"As do you."

[malfunctionbot]

Rabbit stretched his neck up to press a kiss to the side of her mouth softly, pulling away to catch Alyss' gaze with a sickeningly sweet grin, looking for a moment like a robot knee-deep into the depths of new love, his artificial heart all hers, wrapped completely around those delicate, slim fingers...

But then his hands moved to her ass and he squeezed there, chuckling and grinning wildly all the while.

[wishforaneye]

Alyss just laughed, fingers curling on his vest, looking absolutely amused.

"Find something nice to hold, Rabbit?" What is this girl even; how many other ladies would have slapped him or something for grabbing them in such a way? She didn't give a single fuck, giving her hips a little wiggle ontop of it.

[malfunctionbot]

Which just had Rabbit's laugh deepening, his shoulders shaking with a familiar chorus of creaks, his grip only tightening again, drawing the wiggling woman nearer, absolutely appreciating every fleshy curve that was moving against him. He hadn't quite expected this reaction, but that doesn't mean the robot wasn't enjoying every single second of it.

Probably enjoying it just a little too much, to be honest.

"Shore did! Somethin' real nice!" Another squeeze at that, one of his hands staying there, keeping her so closely against him, his free hand moving up to slide around the back of her neck, drawing her forward enough that he could press a few lingering kisses to her throat.

[wishforaneye]

"Uh huh."

She really couldn't help her own laughter, bitting part of her lower lip with her head tilted back at those kisses. Oh, Rabbit was certainly something, squirming a little still yet making no movements for him to remove his hands from her. Alyss was deffinately not like any other girl-

Which likely showed even more when she moved, a hand moving against the back of the 'bots head as he got a faceful of what cleavage she had in that lovely top of her blue dress. He had put himself in such an easy position for it, and how could she resist?

"Still nice?" What is this girl.

[malfunctionbot]

Well, if she was offering…

Rabbit's attention turned from her neck to Alyss', ah, lovely assets, a chuckle still stuck deep in his mechanical throat as a few presses of warm, copper lips were placed there, and maybe just a gentle squeeze or two in his own delightful retaliation to the woman's surprise attack against him. All the while mumbling nearly incoherently into the soft, pale skin she was exposing him to, "Mmmmm, s'real nice!"

[wishforaneye]

Alyss snorted faintly, peering down at him as fingers kept curled against the back of Rabbit's head. She still squirmed, oh yes she did, a hand rested against his chest to keep herself somewhatt propped up. Trying not to laugh too much, her head tilted down-

"Better with a side of toast?"

They've been around eachother way too much, and she regretted nothing.
