Why?

[shishido0929]

Jirou, whatever you did to the bot, make it stop. This thing has been following me all day. And I know it's the same one. It's got a blue mark on the side and it's followed me from the gym to my room to the medbay.

In other news: anyone else know how to shake a bot that won't leave you alone? Because this is annoying.

Hit it once between the shoulderblades with a mallet that is at least half the size of its head.

[akutagawa_j]

You must be garbage.

[shishido0929]

I may take your advice if it doesn't stop.

[shishido0929]

Or your bot is broken and needs to be scrapped.

[akutagawa_j]

Don't hit it, the other bots will swarm you.

[shishido0929]

So they're defective then.

[akutsu]

I'm havin the same problem. Went to bed, locking the damn thing outta my room. When I got up in the morning it was still there, and followed me on my shift. I wasn't even smoking!

[akutagawa_j]

Defective implies I didn't program them to do that.

[shishido0929]

Why would you program them to follow people around? I'm apparently not the only one dealing with this either.

[mgakuto]

heh

[akutagawa_j]

Yeah, I didn’t program them to follow the other guy. I think they just really hate the stink of cigarettes and it's messing with their sensors.

I programmed the one following you to recognize you as garbage though.

[shishido0929]

So it's not just me. These things are clearly broken.

[akutagawa_j]

Have you tried showering? I think the cigarette smell is confusing it's sensors. It might think you're garbage.

[shishido0929]

You laugh now but just wait until these things start following you around.

[akutsu]

Definitely messed up.

[akutsu]

I showered this morning before I left my room to start work, thanks.

[shishido0929]

....why?

[akutagawa_j]

And you used soap?

[akutagawa_j]

You pissed me off.

[akutsu]

Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?

[mgakuto]

I keep myself nice and tidy, thank you very much.

[akutagawa_j]

Maybe the smell of cigarettes is just that affixed to you...

Or the robot just likes you.

[akutsu]

It should be cleaning up! If there's nothing to clean, it should be anywhere but nipping at my heels like an annoying dog.

I don't give a fuck if it likes me. It just needs to do it's damn job.

[akutagawa_j]

Well it's probably just the cigarette smell making it act up. Maybe stop smoking?

[akutsu]

maybe do your job and fix it?
