[Dist is out in his driveway, meticulously working with the Kaiser's gun. He'd been a bit nervous about powering him up, but unlike last time he didn't start sparking and exploding, so Dist decided to count his blessings. Later on he would do a more thorough inspection, but for the moment his main project was modifying the gun to fire something other than its specialized fonic shells. Nails had seemed like a cheap and effective alternative, and as such he'd built up a stack of them sizable enough to build himself a second house. Now, the only thing to do would be to load it up and see if it could fire them in the first place to determine just how much modification would be necessary... so, naturally, he loaded the gun up and aimed it at the lawn.

Another thirty or so seconds later, the lawn, the side of the house, and half of the car are riddled with hot nails. The gun had fired, but it had spun wildly out of control; the only reason Dist hadn't been run through was because he'd been holding it from behind. Completely unperturbed, he sits himself down in the Kaiser's cockpit and begins to take the gun apart.]

No, you can't! What if you kill someone?!

I haven't killed anyone here!

Yet! You keep firing the gun in that thing, and it won't be long before you do!

Well, if you just stay away from me you won't have to worry about that, will you?

You have a family, though! And neighbors! What about them--they don't have that luxury.

Hmph! I only aimed for the lawn! It isn't my fault that it swung out of control!

Yes, it is! You're the one controlling the damn thing!

I can't know what it's going to do until I test it. I'm modifying the gun to shoot something that I can actually get in large quantities here. I had to shoot it at something!

So you had it shoot at your house? That's just stupid; if you're going to carry firearms--or a robot with firearms--you should learn to control yourself better.

I told you, I shot it at the lawn. Are you stupid?

Are you? In case you didn't notice, you missed the lawn.

No, I did not miss the lawn. I hit the lawn. I also just happened to hit several other things.

Same difference! What the hell is wrong with you, anyway!

What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you? I didn't come to your house and tell you how to maintenance your giant robot!

Date: 2010-05-18 10:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] glowing-science.livejournal.com
Of course you didn't! I don't have a giant robot, and I didn't nearly kill anyone!!

Well, that sounds like a personal failing to me.

Date: 2010-05-18 11:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] glowing-science.livejournal.com
What?! That doesn't even make sense!

Of course it does. You aren't brilliant and gorgeous enough to have created such a masterpiece and as such have no right to criticize me and mine.

You mean I'm not insane enough! That thing has a crotch gun--what are you compensating for?!

Date: 2010-05-18 11:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com
I'm not compensating for anything! It's a strategic placement!

...

[And Ema just cracks up.] I-if you say so...

[She starts walking off, giving him a half-wave.] See you around, giant-robot-man-with-something-lacking.

Don't laugh at me! There was nowhere else to put it!

[Ema doesn't stop to acknowledge him; she just keeps walking and snickering.]
