It's been spitting out cans left and right! Someone's gonna get seriously bruised at the rate it's going.
[Probably like them if they stick around to see what that roomba noise is... Where is that noise even coming from?? Kashuu's glancing around to see if he can find the source.]
[Plot twist: Naki never brushes his hair and nobody's ever noticed!?
Also, the roomba has come into view! Gunning down the street, as fast as it can!! It might have trouble getting onto the sidewalk (darn those curbs), but it's aiming to trip anyone who gets in tripping distance, apparently.
.....Naki's staring at it....he kinda wants to try stepping on it? That's probably a bad idea.]
[It'll probably be successful at this rate... Kashuu waits for a couple of seconds before bending over, picking the roomba up by the edges.]
There's nothing dangerous hiding down here, right?
[Showing Nakigitsune the underside! Just making sure it's a regular vacuum and not hiding some steak knives down there or something... If he's going to bring it home, he might as well make sure it's safe!]
But Kashuu perks up considerably at that, and then holds the roomba out in front of him like he's carrying a large dinner plate. He doesn't want to get dirt on himself, okay...]
[Naki risks a glance back in the direction of the ominous sound...it's definitely time to run, yes. Forward! Into the apartments! With a captive? He'll hold open the door for Kashuu too, since he's not the one with a death roomba.]
[Moving to the sofa! Can Kashuu push it with one arm though...anyway, Naki's gonna try to get it in front of the door, as the sound of enemy footsteps slowly approaches from outside.]
Surely it won't be able to reach us in here! It doesn't seem like it was built for battle...
[HE CAN SURE TRY. It's slow-going, but he does eventually get it over there...]
It totally wasn't. I've seen those things handing out balloons in front of restaurants and stuff, and that's pretty much the only thing they do. [...] Buuut it's probably a good idea if we head upstairs anyway.
[That sounds so harmless...but it's trying to go on the offensive? Naki's actually trying to think of how a balloonbot could hurt anybody. While they move? Yeah, let's say he's thinking on the way up the stairs.
And then, halfway up--]
........It could crush Fox.
...Ah...not that it could reach me here. [Right? Right. He nods!]
[Nodding again! Out the window sounds like a perfectly reasonable course of action.]
Hopefully the one you're holding will bring more help than harm! Compared to the one with balloons. Speaking of which, did it hurt you at all, Kashuu-san?
[It definitely is, but Kashuu is smart enough to hold the bottom part away from him... Even if it'd really only mess up his shirt a bit.]
Nope! This little guy's definitely harmless, even if it doesn't want to be. We should still keep it locked up somewhere until the spirit in it is gone, though. It might get ideas from the one in our doorknob.
I'm glad it isn't particularly harmful, at least... [as Naki quietly makes his way inside. Freedom! Safety! A lack of anything more dangerous than doorknobs? Hopefully.
Once they're in though, he's gonna turn his attention back to the roomba and wonder--] Does it have...[what was the word] batteries?

i'm alive...!
Also, the roomba has come into view! Gunning down the street, as fast as it can!! It might have trouble getting onto the sidewalk (darn those curbs), but it's aiming to trip anyone who gets in tripping distance, apparently.
.....Naki's staring at it....he kinda wants to try stepping on it? That's probably a bad idea.]
WELCOME BACK to the land of the living...!
Wow, though. That... that sure is a tiny, tiny robot. Kashuu watches as it whizzes closer, head canting a little to the side.]
What's that supposed to be? [DON'T STEP ON IT NAKI. Or do, since it's slowing down a little as it nears them.] ...It's kinda cute.
no subject
Also. Naki does, in fact, stick out a foot to step on that roomba. It makes an angry roomba noise! But it's been effectively stopped. Poor roomba.]
Is this one bad too?
It doesn't seem dangerous, at least...
no subject
Oh... But this poor roomba, though. Kashuu cocks his head to the side and eyes it somewhat warily before deciding that it's definitely cute.]
I mean, it probably still wants to kill us. It's just stuck in something dumb. Bad choice!
no subject
[Room room, goes the roomba! Naki finally lets it go, and it bumps angrily against the sidewalk curb.
...They probably shouldn't be distracted too long, or the balloonbot might catch up with them...maybe that's the roomba's real plan.]

no subject
He reaches for the (still angrily whirring death roomba) and carefully pulls out...a deflated balloon.]
Nothing whatsoever! It seems to be perfectly safe.
no subject
But Kashuu perks up considerably at that, and then holds the roomba out in front of him like he's carrying a large dinner plate. He doesn't want to get dirt on himself, okay...]
Good! Let's take it. [Kashuu why.]
no subject
Why do you want to take it, though...?
[Smallest fox needs to know! But no they're cool with this let's bring it home for Haruji.]
no subject
[Including help that's just kidnapped off the streets?!]
no subject
[murderously cleaning the home of its enemies!? also is that the ominous sound of a robot inflating balloons in the semidistance...]
no subject
[NOTHING CAN GO WRONG HERE. But oh, he hears that ominous sound...]
We should prooobably get going, though. Ready?
no subject
[Naki risks a glance back in the direction of the ominous sound...it's definitely time to run, yes. Forward! Into the apartments! With a captive? He'll hold open the door for Kashuu too, since he's not the one with a death roomba.]
no subject
Let's block it with that sofa!
[Tucking the death roomba under one arm so he can zoom over that way...]
no subject
Surely it won't be able to reach us in here! It doesn't seem like it was built for battle...
no subject

........It could crush Fox.
...Ah...not that it could reach me here. [Right? Right. He nods!]
no subject
Right, right! It won't be able to roll its way up the stairs. [...] And if it tried to hurt Fox, we'd just have to throw it out a window.
[Like 2 other robots, by now... The count continues to rise.]
no subject
Hopefully the one you're holding will bring more help than harm! Compared to the one with balloons. Speaking of which, did it hurt you at all, Kashuu-san?
[Is the roomba still whirring? It probably is.]
no subject
Nope! This little guy's definitely harmless, even if it doesn't want to be. We should still keep it locked up somewhere until the spirit in it is gone, though. It might get ideas from the one in our doorknob.
no subject
[Speaking of which, they've reached Swordhaus. Naki's just gonna stop and stare...at the door......]
no subject
Ow— See? It does that every time I try to touch the knob now. [SIGHS... And then pushes the door open. Inside, to safety!!]
no subject
I'm glad it isn't particularly harmful, at least... [as Naki quietly makes his way inside. Freedom! Safety! A lack of anything more dangerous than doorknobs? Hopefully.
Once they're in though, he's gonna turn his attention back to the roomba and wonder--] Does it have...[what was the word] batteries?
no subject
Mmm... [FLIPPING IT OVER AGAIN. The roomba makes some indignant whirring and beeping noises...]
...This might be a battery thing? But it looks like it's screwed down.
