A ninja and a kung-fu bot walk up to a vending machine...

[thxforthememories]

WHO: Kagerou and Power Joe
WHERE: Police HQ
WHEN: RIGHT NOW
WHAT: PJ wanted to test the vending machine he found. ... he also said he wanted to do it in a week. Kagerou took him seriously.
WARNINGS: STUPID MAN CHILD ROBOTS DOING STUPID THINGS.

[With the help of Stumpy -- again -- it only takes a few hours to get from Trion's temple to where he needs to go. Although, he's not entirely sure of what to do once he gets inside the place. How is he meant to find the other BP unit? He hasn't seen Power Joe since this whole mess started.]

[He has the Acolyte stay put outside, before venturing into the building. While he doesn't know what sort of creature the other BP might be right now, it can't be too hard to find him, can it? Personalities seem to have remained intact. He just has to look for an obnoxious individual, who isn't spouting off some poor attempt at English.]

[And isn't playing with a soccer ball. Which should help narrow it down.]

[He prowls through the hallways, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible. It occurs to him to call out for Power Joe, about halfway through his search. He pokes his head into what looks to be an office.]

Power... Joe?

'Fwendsf' ifs used raffer roofsy.

[Oh yeah? FOUR IT IS, THEN.]

[thxforthememories]

... Huh?

[How about six. Yeah, that's right, he went up two now.]

[kungfugeek]

I FED...IFS UFFS RAFFR ROFSRY

[AW YEAH. EIGHT NOW.]

[thxforthememories]

... Huh?

[No, he still can't understand. And he's still trying to outpace PJ in terms of eating that damn pocky.]

[kungfugeek]

[Well now it's more like a grunting sound than anything. He'll just shove the whole box in thank you.]

[thxforthememories]

[Kagerou regards him with a long stare, looking at all that pocky sticking out of his mouth...]

[Then goes back to the vending machine, and pulls out another pair of milk coffees.]

Wash your mouth out.

[kungfugeek]

[It takes a moment for PJ to eat all of those without choking (not his brightest idea), but takes the milk coffee once offered.]

Riiight. You know, these machines aren't so bad once they stop talking.

[thxforthememories]

... No. They are.

I still hate them.

[But he's going to drink that coffee anyway.]

[kungfugeek]

You might want to say thanks to the machine you ate. Since you just stole from it.

[Ever so classy sip of milk coffee.]

[thxforthememories]

[He doesn't even look at it.]

No.

It's only a machine. What does it need gratitude for?

[SOMEONE'S A LITTLE BITTER, AREN'T THEY.]

[kungfugeek]

It welcomes your service, Kagebird! Even if you broke into it for it.

[He laughs and downs the rest of the milk coffee, slumping against the machine.]

[thxforthememories]

It shouldn't.

I want to smash it the rest of the way.

[And he kicks at it. Just once.]

[kungfugeek]

[When Kagerou kicks it, a bag of shrimp puffs falls out in between them. Kagerou promptly grabs it.]

Keep it up. I'm not stopping you!

[thxforthememories]

[He scowls, when he sees the other BP snatch the chips away.]

Don't eat them all.

[Those were good, after all.]

[kungfugeek]

Then grab some for yourself, Kagebird. These ones are mine!

[Get your own shrimp puffs, nerd.]

[thxforthememories]

[He makes a face, and then peers into the machine again.]

... That's the last bag.

[Don't you dare eat them all.]

[kungfugeek]

...

[Oh he dares.

Look at him open that bag. He's going for it.

Whatcha gonna do about it, Kagebird?]

[thxforthememories]

[Don't you tease the ninja, boy.]

[His hand just snaps out. To grab that bag as Joe's hand starts to go in...]

[kungfugeek]

[Don't you try and grab his shrimp puffs.

When that hand reaches out, PJ rolls onto his back, to save them.]

Hey!!

[thxforthememories]

[And Kagerou just advances. To place a foot on the squirming BP's chest to keep him steady while he reaches for the bag.]

[He reaches again.]

[kungfugeek]

[He squirms at that foot, holding the bag as far away from him as he can. Oh no you don't, he's fighting to the 'death' for these.]

Kagebird!!

[thxforthememories]

[He shifts his weight forward onto his foot, and, as a result, onto Power Joe.]

You need to learn to share.

[He leans over, reaching for the bag.]

[kungfugeek]

HNK!

[He grimaces at the pressure, but stretches his arm out farther. Someone's stubborn if you couldn't tell.]

And you need to learn what's mine!

[thxforthememories]

[He reaches for it again, but overbalances, thanks to being a human and not his normal body.]

[... And falls.]

[Face-first. Onto Power Joe.]

[kungfugeek]

[PJ let's out a yelp as Kagerou falls on him, attempting to squirm out even more vigorously than before. Only this time, Kagerou's full weight was on him.]

I-Idiot! I'm still not sharing these!
