[He'd normally react better than this!? But balloon animal robots are...new. Also he's still not feeling so great?
The robot gets as far as making a new balloon animal before Naki finally takes the tub of balloons he's holding and heaves it at the enemy's face. Takedown! No damage! But the robot got (temporarily) knocked down, at least? Also that poor balloon animal probably got popped...]
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!]

no subject
Date: 2015-12-21 08:12 am (UTC)Oh well. At least the robot is down now, so that gives Kashuu some time to start hopping away while detangling himself from the strings and balloons.]
Get away before it gets back up!
no subject
Date: 2015-12-21 10:42 pm (UTC)Actually no he's gonna skirt around the robot (which is struggling like a turtle to get back up again) and see if he can help untangle Kashuu.]
Are you alright, Kashuu-san!
no subject
Date: 2015-12-22 12:34 am (UTC)I'm fine, I'm fine! Just like, seriously annoyed. [His hair is static-y now?? Fuck that balloonbot, ugh.
Anyway, as soon as he's untangled enough to run, he grabs Naki by the arm and turns away from the turtlebot trying so hard to get up...] Let's go!
no subject
Date: 2015-12-22 06:11 am (UTC)Ah, but they're leaving the turtlebot...he wonders if it'll ever manage to pick itself back up.]
Are we heading back to the apartments? It doesn't seem like it would be able to climb stairs--
no subject
Date: 2015-12-26 01:43 am (UTC)Yes! We just have to go in through the back 'cause that vending machine in the front is totally possessed too.
[He was under direct fire for a while there and it was awful... Soda projectiles still hurt a ridiculous amount!]
no subject
Date: 2015-12-30 02:01 am (UTC)Okay.
What has the vending machine been doing?
[To the back! Before the balloonbot can get up again! Is that the sound of an angry roomba coming down the street towards them?]
no subject

i'm alive...!
Date: 2016-01-04 04:00 am (UTC)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...!
Date: 2016-01-04 04:54 am (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-06 04:05 am (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-06 08:41 am (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-07 02:09 am (UTC)[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
Date: 2016-01-07 07:21 am (UTC)There's nothing dangerous hiding down here, right?

no subject
Date: 2016-01-08 05:32 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-09 06:27 am (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-11 02:11 am (UTC)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
Date: 2016-01-11 04:34 am (UTC)[Including help that's just kidnapped off the streets?!]
no subject
Date: 2016-01-11 04:54 pm (UTC)[murderously cleaning the home of its enemies!? also is that the ominous sound of a robot inflating balloons in the semidistance...]
no subject
Date: 2016-01-12 03:56 am (UTC)[NOTHING CAN GO WRONG HERE. But oh, he hears that ominous sound...]
We should prooobably get going, though. Ready?

Date: 2016-01-13 04:57 am (UTC)Let's block it with that sofa!
[Tucking the death roomba under one arm so he can zoom over that way...]
