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?

Comments

[thxforthememories]

... Please.

[As he's sitting on top of Power Joe, attempting to hold his arms down.]

[Over his head.]

[Yeah that's not compromising at all.]

[kungfugeek]

Well I'm not going to give them to you NOW!

[Not with the way you're holding him sir.]

Now get off!

[thxforthememories]

Not until you share.

[He'll get off when you give in, PJ.]

[And if he was at all aware of how that sounded, or how this looks, he'd probably have leaped off and jumped all the way across the room by now. But instead, he just makes another grab for the bag.]

[kungfugeek]

I'm not sharing if you're going to sprawl all over me on a whim!

[PJ stop you're not making this situation any better. The yelps you're making don't help either.]

[thxforthememories]

I'm not sprawling on you! I'm just trying to get you to share.

[Okay, none of this is very flattering. The noises Kagerou himself is making aren't doing anything to change this awkward moment -- frustrated grunting noises.]

[kungfugeek]

Maybe I'll share if you were gentler!

[GUYS...

REALLY.]

[thxforthememories]

I am being gentle! Just hold still and let me get in there.

[... get in the "bag", that is.]

[kungfugeek]

No! It's mine and you can't touch it!

[The bag, that is.]

[thxforthememories]

I'll do what I like with it.

[Since they just sort of found it in the vending machine...]

[kungfugeek]

I don't see your name written on it!

[Since they kind of stole it anyway.]

[thxforthememories]

It could be. Give me a pen.

[This is going to go on forever, isn't it?]

[kungfugeek]

NO.

[And he makes a daring move, shoving the bag into his face.

To eat it all.]

[thxforthememories]

[And, in a bold move of retaliation... Kagerou attempts to smash the bag with his own face.]

[Because crushing the puffs before they can be eaten is totally a mature thing to do.]

[kungfugeek]

[Oh. Oh no you didn't. He's going to eat the crumbs anyway JUST TO SPITE YOU.

Also he's going to try and roll you off.]

[thxforthememories]

Get your face out of there!

[Don't you try and unhook a ninja, PJ. It only makes him hold on tighter.]

[kungfugeek]

I'll put my face where I want it!!

[Oh, he's going to try. Because Power Joe is Power Stubborn.]

[thxforthememories]

Don't put it there!

[Well, fine, he'll grab the back in his teeth. And turn his head to try and pull it away.]

[kungfugeek]

GET YOUR TEETH OFF OF IT!

[He bites down on his half of the bag, tugging it towards him.]

[thxforthememories]

[He manages a weird noise that was probably something along the lines of "NO", before starting to back off of PJ.]

[Still holding the bag in his teeth.]

[kungfugeek]

[And suddenly this became tug-o-war. Like two dogs.

PJ pulls back as well, teeth hooked on the other side of the bag.]

[thxforthememories]

[Power Joe. Don't you know who he lived his entire life with?]

[A giant metal dogwolf.]

[Instead of pulling, or holding on, or even fighting with his mouth, he suddenly reaches forward, to try shoving his fingers into the corners of Joe's mouth.]

[Drop it, boy.]

[kungfugeek]

[Yes, yes he does, because Shadowmaru took every opportunity to say that HE KNOWS YOU BEST and YOU WERE PARTNERS. He gave the lowdown quite well.

Still, he's going to put up a fi-what are you doing get those fingers out of his mouth. In a moment of 'wtf', PJ lets go, but at the same time...ripping the bag.]

GERROF!!

[thxforthememories]

[He'd be a little flattered if he knew about that.]

[But, instead, he keeps his hands right where they are, fingers included. He waits, as patiently as possible while sitting on a struggling man, for the bag to drop.]

[...]

[Except it explodes, and bits of crushed shrimp puffs go everywhere. Kagerou is left sitting stunned, blinking down at the other BP in confusion.]

... It broke.

[kungfugeek]

[...

The shrimp puffs rain down around them, as PJ sits there with the most blank of expressions on his face.

Thank you for that update, Kagerou.]

Are you sure? I couldn't tell.

[thxforthememories]

You have crumbs on your face.

That's why.

[There are deserts drier than Kagerou's tone just then.]
