ain't no time for moping when we're working and we're coping

[isawallflower]

[ Here we are, another meeting! Noon comes fast (sorry to the stake-out folks!) and Riley's got everything...well, there's not much to set up besides food and drink (no Mountain Dew this time) but she has a clipboard and a cheery attitude, nevertheless. Hosting Mode is on. ]

Welcome, everyone~! I know we've all been looking around into...everything. So! I thought it would be important to share anything we've found with the group, so we can all put our heads together, to try and. Solve this whole thing!

[ #NailedIt ]

Let's try and keep this civil and relaxed, okay?

[Mephisto is here. It's been a long night but... At least he doesn't look as tired as his companions do.

He sits down with a nice snack for himself.]

The kitchen has an angry lightning disc that cleans every night.

[Yep. That's it.]

[37773972]

He means a roomba with a taser.

[isawallflower]

Why would someone put a taser on a roomba?!

[37773972]

[Helpless shrug???]

[justmeheere]

Sometimes, they knife fight! Like, like battle robots.

[He's contributing.]

[heathencall]

... I am going into the kitchen again tonight.

[No Reason! No reason at all!]

[37773972]

Have fun.

[He ain't.]

[heathencall]

Not even after all the fun we had?

[37773972]

Deal isn't on until we're out of here. [HE AIN'T FOLLOWING YOU TO A ROOMBAFIGHT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT]

[isawallflower]

Isn't it supposed to be locked at night?

[heathencall]

We waited in the kitchen until it sealed. I can do it again, if I so wished.

[isawallflower]

...You guys were locked in the kitchen? All night?

[heathencall]

Yes, you are correct. With the angry lightning disk. It attempted to throw a block of knives at Stephen.

[isawallflower]

[ ... ]

Please don't go back in the kitchen at night.

[superbeliever]

An... Angry lightning disk? Like some kind of magic spirit?

[can we get a brain cell? Can we PLEASE get a brain cell??]

[heathencall]

Yes, exactly like that. And a vengeful one at that.

[Does he know slightly better? Maybe. Is he going to miss an opportunity to mess with Richard? Absolutely not.]

[superbeliever]

Hm... Probably for the best the beast is contained at night, then.

[Will it ever lose its sheen when he realized Richard is very slow to realize he's being fucked with? Probably not.]

[heathencall]

Imagine if it got out. Perhaps we need a great and noble king to slay it?

[superbeliever]

Oh. Well, of course, I'd be happy to.

But you know, I'd need my sword.

[heathencall]

I can give you a trombone.

[superbeliever]

I don't think that's quite the same thing...

[Whatever a "trombone" is.]

[heathencall]

Angus and Stephen thought it an adequate weapon. If a prince and a commoner could wield it, why couldn't a mighty king such as yourself?

[etincelledefierte]

No, it’s a -

[thinking. How to translate this.]

It’s like a broom, only instead of brushing aside the dirt, it sucks it up. Only this one is equipped with a taser, which could give you a nasty shock.

[superbeliever]

...Oh.

Well, that's not a fearsome beast at all.

[Mephisto.]

Why not just remove the "taser," then?

[etincelledefierte]

No, normally the worst that will happen with a Roomba is that it gets stuck somewhere. They don’t come with tasers. I am going to guess that nobody could get close enough to the one in the kitchen to remove it without getting shocked.
