MilkmanDan Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The New Thunderbolts campaign on Hero Central. Background is my character (Allison Dillon as Electron, Electro's daughter) is a science geek, and also on the team is Eva von Doom, Dr. Doom's daughter, who of course has a bunch of Doombots, one of them currently acting as bartender. Eva has warned me that I need to be polite around her robots, but, well, we're in the bar, and I figure she's had a few drinks so far. When Eva finishes her speech, she looks back to Allison, only to find her not in her chair. Looking about, she suddenly notices Allison leaning over the bar, staring directly in the eyes of Beta, her nose no more than an inch from the Doombot's face. "Wow, Eva, this is amazing! I mean, it looks completely lifelike? And the skin!" With that, she reaches out and lightly pinches the extremely surprised-looking robot's cheek. "The skin texture is amazing! Did I ever tell you I did a short internship at SHIELD? I was 19, and got to ride on a helicarrier. At the time, wow. Anyways, I got to spend some time with the LMDs and yeah, they're nothing compared to this. I mean, those are designed to fool people, but not people that get this close, you know." With that, she stares back into the robot's ever-widening eyes. "Hey, speaking of LMDs, the SHIELD guys told me something really funny when I was there. Apparently some porn king in Southern California kept calling SHIELD trying to buy or license the LMDs. He apparently wanted to create super-robot sex dolls, make them look like porn stars, and actually sell them to people. SHIELD said no based on policy, of course, but you know the real reason they couldn't do it? The LMDs are very realistic during normal conversation and all, but they apparently don't imitate, uh, "intense experiences" very well. I mean, it's not like SHIELD would probably program them for that. Anyways, they said one of the ways they found this out is at a division Christmas party one year some tech got completely hammered and, next thing you know, he's wandering off into the robotics lab. 10 minutes later they come looking for him and there he is, going at it with a robot copy of Ms. Marvel. Needless to say, he lost his job and all, but he apparently kept complaining that the thing was lousy in bed."" With that, Allison takes another drink and looks back at the robot. "Rumor around SHIELD is that the guy changed his name and moved out of the country. Ms. Marvel was apparently not . . . happy." Allison stares at the robot. "Physically, these are definitely a step up from the LMDs, but did you work on that aspect of these? I mean, not that I'm looking for robot lovin' or anything." With that, the finger points at Journeyman. "Eyebrows! No eyebrows! I mean, just from the perspective of a challenge in robotics." Another drink. "Then again, maybe Ms. Marvel is really lousy in bed. But I suppose SHIELD wouldn't have programmed it for that regardless." At that point, needless to say, my character realizes she should probably stop talking and, from the further conversation, it's looking like everyone's convinced she's got a freakish female robot fetish.

Lucius Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More on topic: My character Aragord, the ranger (and you've seldom seen a stranger ranger...) accompanies some of the other player characters into a village inn. One of the other characters is fae folk - winged, child-sized, magicaly inclined. And with a very bad reputation among most Humans of this world. The innkeeper at first wants to deny her entrance, then says to the rest of us "you're responsible if she steals anything." Aragord goes up to the bar, frowning, trying to wrap his head around this concept. "We're responsible" pointing at self and companions "if she steals anything?" pointing at fae. "That's what I said, right." "Then who's responsible if I steal something?" The landlord growls some kind of response but Aragord is on a roll, trying to follow this obscure idea of people being responsible for other people's stealing "Who's responsible if YOU steal something?" Before the angry bartender can decide to throw Aragord (at least) out, I plop some silver down (overpaying - Aragord isn't used to handling money either) and buy us drinks, then ask "Besides, when was the last time anything got stolen around here?" getting us onto the topic of learning more about the local bandits and their leader who we expect to have to fight eventually. Lucius Alexander "Aragord is a fool, but not an idiot" says the palindromedary at one end, contradicting itself at the other with "Aragord is an idiot, but not a fool."

Reading it in retrospect, it sounds like extremely creepy fanfic of the ickiest kind. I may have to go take a shower. What's creepy is that the Beta models can switch sexes as a half phase action. And Doom was most certainly NOT tending bar. She's only 19 and makes a dull, flavorless manhattan. She DID sent a DoomBot to meet President Putin once because she had a class.
