Sparky Repairs, Monday

John opened Sparky's and putted around the shop. Mostly poking at his amazing handpaddle boat.

[Sparky's is open like an open thing! Pester John! Poke the bots!]

Chrono came in that morning looking like a little lesser-form demon on a mission. "You," he said when he spotted John. "I'm borrowing those bots. They owe me."

"Whaddya need 'em for? If you damage 'em or dismantle 'em, you'll have to answer to Agatha. And she's not a pushover like I am."

"The church is a mess from the flood," Chrono said, "and Rosette's doing confessions today, so that leave me to do most of the work. She did say that if I needed help cleaning anything, I should go see you. I could only assume she meant enlisting the services of the bots. Besides that, you saw what they did to me on Saturday! They owe me! So, to make up for the jelly, they're helping me with the church."

"Emo! Goth!" John shouted into the back of the shop. "Getcher lazy clank asses out here!"

Emo and Goth came clankity clank clank quick. And started pointing at Chrono, as if they were happy to see him. Of course that's what that means.

"Okay, but take care of 'em. DOn't submerge 'em, the brass and iron will start to degrade, and then Agatha'd come after me, and I'd tell her about you, and then she'd probably do mad scientist-y things to you... and?" He said, pointing at his leg where the aliens poked the hell out of it, "That's a bad thing."

Chrono eyed the bots suspiciously. "...They'll help and not try to be evil again?"

"You shouldn't have done whatever you did to make 'em do that. They don't bother me, and I don't like robots. They grow on ya."

"I didn't do anything!" Chrono flailed a bit. "I was jus' gonna go back to see how the shower situation was coming along and they attacked!"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"They probably thought you were gonna attack us! THey're protective like that. Just be glad Scorpy didn't investigate, or you'd be covered in fudge and coffee! Though, I hear that that's the way Lucifer likes his demons: dark and bitter."

"...Why would I attack you?" Chrono shook his head, seeing that logic obviously wasn't going to factor into this conversation at all. "Whatever. Besides, I could out-emo Emo any day of the week. Come on, Goth, Emo. We got a lot of work to do. And there's no jelly at the church right now, so don't get any ideas."

"Have fun! And don't annoy him too much," he said to the bots, "and don't try to get into an emo contest, because I would win easy," as they walked out.

After Close

John sprints in, waves at the Register, and works furiously on something in teh back.

A few minutes later, and he, Scorpy, and the Amazing Boat O Matic (now a self-powered wheelbarrow), venture off in search of treasure and glory (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1499691.html?thread=67418155#t67418155).
