There were wires all around, electrical sounds

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Characters: Rabbit and Open!
Setting: Lagoon, forest, and then rampaging around the dormitory.
When: Anywhere from midday to midnight
Format: Prose/action it's whatever you please
Summary: Rabbit has gotten bored and went exploring. Unfortunately he gets so bored that he's forced to take drastic action in the form of loud accordion sounds on the dorm floor.
Warnings: Rabbit is his own warning.

Lagoon

It was pretty here, he'd admit that. Pretty enough to bask in the sun and play in the sand but not nearly pretty enough to even attempt to play in the water. The robot knew his own weaknesses. He settled for hurling large rocks into the crystal clear lagoon waters, or skipping stones, before building a massive sand castle in the sands of the beach and rampaging through it. He cared exactly just enough about his clothes to carefully hang them from a branch before happily making a massive mess out of the pristine beach. The Spine would have had a fit to see his brother prancing around with no pants on, but it wasn't as if there were any parts to hide persay. Then again, a lady showing up might actually earn the shameless robot's embarrassment.

Forest

Not half bad. He hadn't been in a forest in a long time, and it was kind of interesting to be in one again. Clothed this time, and attempting to climb up the bigger, thicker looking trees. He knew damn well the little ones would never be able to support his copper frame. Humming show tunes and generally being loud and childish in the forest, at the very least he was keeping it to a wild, wooded area rather than a place where people might actually be attempting to rest. Anyone approaching the robot here would probably get talked to death, as he was fast running out of patience for this place, as massive as it was. He enjoyed attention after all, exploring only fun if there was someone else to do it with.
 
Dorms

Well he'd lost it.

He'd returned to the dorms with exactly zero things to do and not enough of the attention he so craved. He was used to people! Lights! Action! Music! Brothers to tease! And so far he hadn't met anyone he knew at all so... Well apparently everyone must suffer.

He'd taken to roaming the halls, a horrible honking accompanying him. He'd gotten the accordion out and was pretty much abusing the poor thing, pressing every key imaginable and rapidly expanding and contracting it, mad mechanical giggles and whirrs filling the hallway, which would occasionally break out into full out laughter and a few lines of garbled music.

He was so bored!

Dorms

[sunflowerfairy]

While Yotsuba kept sticking close to the dorms, since she didn't want to be killed again or get too far from people she knew, a weird honking sound attracted her attention and made her curious. What was that noise? She had never heard it before, which made her run towards it, and when she saw Rabbit, she was stunned.

"Are you a robot?!"

Dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

There's someone! It was about time he saw someone here, he was starting to doubt there was anyone else in this tower with him, other than Thorin and some weirdos on the terminals. Yeah, they're the weirdos, not the six foot plus tall robot stomping around the dormitory area with an accordion.

He honks out a few more mangled notes before nodding, grinning brightly at Yotsuba.

"Su-su-sure am, kiddo! Pretty amazin' innit?"

Dorms

[sunflowerfairy]

Not that Yotsuba thought Rabbit was weird-robots were super cool in her book. She smiled warmly, both excited and happy that she had met an actual talking robot this time! Red's was cool..but this was super cool!

"It is! It's super cool! What's that noise though?"

Dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Rabbit is the coolest robot ever. Even cooler than Transformers true story. At least Rabbit would say so. The question over the sounds got a high pitched laugh, the robot spinning on his heel before letting out with a few more horrible notes.

"I ca-ca-call it 'Insomnia in E Sha-sha-sharp'!" He giggled wildly at his own joke, though at the very least when he was talking, he wasn't making so much noise.

Dorms

[sunflowerfairy]

Not that Yotsuba really knew what Transformers were, sadly. However, if she did, she would really be hooked into them. Yotsuba almost put her hands to her ears before Rabbit started talking again. She wasn't sure what the noise was..but it didn't sound good.

"'In..Insommnina in E Sharp?'"

Dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

No it is not a good noise. This is the combination of being bored, glitching and not having his siblings around. And now everyone must pay for the robot's lack of stimulation. He obnoxiously blasts out a few more notes, before twitching sharply and giggling.

"Y-y-y-yep!" Though, he really shouldn't be picking on a kid. He just wanted attention, and now that he was getting it, the painful shrieks of the accordion died down somewhat.

"I go-go-got other ones t-too." Less annoying ones. Might he say, even enjoyable to listen to.

Dorms

[sunflowerfairy]

And now, Rabbit could be shown why someone had once called children innocent, gay, and heartless. Because Yotsuba..really wanted to hear something a bit better.

"Can you play something that doesn't sound so..bad?"

Dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

It's okay he knew it was bad. He could own up to that, he was doing it on purpose after all. He giggled again, rolling his eyes.

"Ma-maaaaaaybe. I could tryyyyyyy." No he could do a good job for a kid, but only because she asked nicely. Suffice to say he would have kept on going rather painfully through the night if she'd been anything short of adorable and little.

He technically didn't need the accordion for this song, but he could certainly play the tune on it, and in a matter of seconds a much better tune was coming out of both the robot and the accordion. He really got into it too, breaking out into a one man Charleston, all creaking joints and whirring gears.

Dorms

[sunflowerfairy]

Okay, that was much, much better! What a lovely tune! Yotsuba, a music lover, couldn't help but laugh and try to sing along with Rabbit, even though she didn't know the lyrics and fumbled a lot of the bigger words. But..she was obviously enjoying this. She even jumped up every now and then in time with the music.

After a day of exploring the Tower, Rani left the library floor for her own room. One can only stay so long in a spring of knowledge before feeling overloaded, and she certainly wasn't an exception. What she didn't expect, though, was to hear such discordant noise on her way to her room.

"That music is very interesting."

Interesting would be putting it as politely as possible, but that was just how Rani rolled.

Dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Rabbit just giggles, squeezing out a few more horrible notes before actually answering.

"Ma-ma-made it up myself! Just now!" So bored, everyone must pay for it. Of course he couldn't fathom his boredom being his fault. Oh sure he knew he wasn't doing something necessarily nice about it, but it wasn't like it was actually hurting anyone, right?

Of course not.

[munajjima]

Anyone else would wince from how terribly the notes clash together, but Rani doesn't even flinch. If anything, she almost looks to be enjoying the sound . . . well, if she could look entertained, anyway.

"Have you thought of a name for it yet? Or will that come after you've composed the rest?"

[spaghettiinmysoul]

She is taking this way too well. The attention was nice but he was expecting something else. There was a huff from from the robot, steam escaping his vents at the action. He wanted some kind of reaction, even if it was yelling at him to stop with the noise at this hour.

"N-nah, it's ju-ju-just a work in progress ri-right now." He almost looked disappointed, ceasing the racket for a moment to look at her in confusion.

[munajjima]

Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, definite reactions aren't quite within her grasp just yet. Though her eyes do seem to light up a touch more, if only because she caught sight of the escaping steam. He certainly doesn't look like a homunculus, or at least not the type she's familiar with.

"I have to say, I have never seen someone like you before."

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Well... she wasn't yelling at him, but she was expressing interest. That he could deal with. At that he perked up a little, ignoring the accordion for now.

"Ya ha-ha-haven't? Haven't ya ever se-seen a robut before? I'm one of a ki-kind, sweetheart!" He smiled quite suddenly, apparently already feeling better, just so long as the interest remained.

"I'm a singin' mu-mu-musical atomaton! Built in 1869!"

[munajjima]

"Truly? A robot? And constructed in such a year!" Yes, that shine is definitely not going to leave her eyes anytime soon. She's already taking dozens of mental notes and keeping them safely tucked away, just in case she ever has to actually document it. The Atlas Institute could only benefit from such knowledge!

. . . if it still exists, anyway.

"Remarkable! My world was incapable of even moon travel, let alone any sort of robotics."

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Oooooh she likes him. He seems to swell up a bit as he fills his bellows, puffing out little clouds of steam as she marvels over the year. "Y-yep! One of a ki-kind, antique even! Oh man, what kinda world are you fr-from? We went to the moon ages ago!"

One of the Walters even went to space! But... the less said about that the better, it did not end well.

"I ha-ha-have thre bro-brothers an' a sister too! Th' Jon, Th' Spine, Hatchworth an' Upgrade."

dorms

[marriedthebloke]

...What is that infernal noise?

[Sola-ui walks down the hallways, a scowl on her face and her hands over her ears.]

What are you trying to do?

dorms

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Rabbit thinks he's starting trouble. Is it working?]

Wha-wha-what does it look like I'm d-d-doin'?

[HORRIBLE ACCORDION HONKING followed by unhinged laughter, the automaton spinning about on his heel]

Re: dorms

[marriedthebloke]

You're either making a horrible attempt to play music, or inviting everyone else on this floor to come discipline you.

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[MAD GIGGLING. Well he wasn't certainly trying to make music. As if to prove this point, he proceeds to play a few bars of this before slamming down on all the keys again.

Oh. It must be the second thing]

Ya gonna discipline me, sw-sw-sweetheart?

[marriedthebloke]

If no one else will.

{She cracks her knuckles. Unfortunately, given her small frame, it does not look nearly as intimidating as it should.]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Rabbit... does not look intimidated. He takes a step back though.

... And teasingly honks the accordion a few more times. He's over six feet tall, he's seen worse]

OOooh gonna get a be-be-belt and whup me?

[It broke off into cackles. Really he'd just run if she even made an attempt to hit him, there was no way he was about to actually hit someone over this. He just wanted a little attention.]

[marriedthebloke]

...Or rather, place you in time out.

[She reaches over to grab him.]

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Oh in ti-ti-time out, huh? You volunteerin' ta be my mammy?

[Another set of giggles, but she'd at least manage to grab his arm. Rabbit would respond by trying to wiggle out of the grip almost immediately, not really thinking much of it.

But, he did make it a point not to lay a finger on her. He was only playing after all. And she was so much smaller than he was...]
