Third Trolling

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus is taking a stroll down White Chalice, carrying a boombox stolen temporarily borrowed from MarKus. One of the CDs from DJ RGNK's concert is playing on it... backwards and at 200% speed. It sounds a bit like chipmunks performing a Satanic ritual. And it's loud. Hoo boy, is it loud.]

Ahhh!

Can... can you turn that down a little, please?

[Given the volume of the music and the fact that Laura has not just her hands over her ears but her arms shielding her head as if the sound might actually injure her, her request may not even be audible...]

[saikyocivrobo]

[Pometheus stares at Laura for a moment, as if not entirely comrehending what she wants from him, then turns the dial 10% down. He raises a thumb up slowly, as if asking if that's okay.]

[emorangerpink]

[Laura risks removing one hand from her ear and slowly lowering it in a "down a bit more" gesture.]

...What is that, anyway?

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus turns it down a bit more, than clicks a button to switch tracks. For a few seconds it becomes the original song again, sang by Fate and the rest and mimicked by the tiny robot comically. After those few seconds he switches back to the previous settings and starts moshing to it.]

[emorangerpink]

Oh...

[Laura doesn't get it, but to each her own, right? It's now bearable, if still loud, so...]

...Well... thanks for turning it down, it really was just a bit... painful... but it's not so bad now.

Um, enjoy...

[Exit, stage thataway, because it may no longer be an assault on the eardrums but it's still not exactly comfortable to listen to.]

[Samus is there, laying against a corner wth closed eyes, as Prometheus passes by. She opens one eye and looks at the tiny robot, calmly but rather... definite]

During the last week, half the speakers in this ship suffered various levels of damage ranging from disabling to catastrophicfor playing that song in a less irritating fashion and at a lesser volume. I would suggest you turn that off.

[She points it out in a quite direct manner. It's true that given how people had come to blows so very recently over this very song (if in reverse fashion), Prometheus's current plan runs a pretty significant risk of him being seriously shot at by anyone who was still annoyed at the past week...]

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus looks at Samus for a moment. It's obvious this person is serious, and there's only one reasonable thing to do here...

He starts to run away, protecting the radio!]

[chozo_girl]

[Problem, of course, is trying to run away from (and therefore turning your back to) someone with Chozo reflexes and a beam whip, as Prometheus finds out when instead of pursuit, a strand of energy suddenly coils around him and sends him flying vertically, spinning in the air.

Samus is, of course, right under him to catch him when he falls]

[saikyocivrobo]

[There is no way the chibi robo can avoid that. But what he can do is grab a pipe running near the ceiling with his only free hand, and start crawling on it quickly to go down the corridor! It's a strangely quick way of travel.]

[Arika's covering her ears]

Mou, Prommy!! Turn it down! What is it, anyway?!

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus turns it down a bit, than (just like with Laura before) clicks a button to switch tracks. For a few seconds it becomes the original song again, sang by Fate and the rest and mimicked by the tiny robot comically. After those few seconds he switches back to the previous settings and starts moshing to it.]

[crystal-energy.livejournal.com]

PROMMY! TURN. IT. DOWN!

[And now she's lunging at him, trying to get the boombox]

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus is a slippery bastard, so when she jumps he runs on the other side and starts escaping! He turns the music down a bit lower, but that's because he's also switching to a different track - same music, but set to the melody of Yakety Sax.]

[azure-savior.livejournal.com]

[Dammit, Prometheus. You are this close... THIS CLOSE to getting punted halfway across the hangar.]

[saikyocivrobo]

[The robot waves hello to Josh.]

[azure-savior.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, and now Josh is looming over the robot, glaring down at it in annoyance.]

I'm doing this for the sake of being reasonable. Either turn that shit down or go some place where you won't be wrecking everyone's ears listening to that.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus nods in understanding, then runs to the other side of the hangar. Unfortunately, the acoustics are good here so the "music" can still be heard well from that distance! Doesn't stop him from giving a tiny thumb up from afar, though.]

As Prometheus passes in front of Herb's makeshift bar, suddenly the door violently opens.

Epimetheus is there shaking his hand toward his annoying brother. He points to his ears, as a faint, barely hearable classical jazz music is heard from an antique lp player inside the bar.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Pometheus stops, but only to get in and look at the music machine for a while, then point at him and stare questioningly at his brother, asking for a CD with similar music.]

[hobo_lantern]

Proud that apparently his philistine counterpart actually want to learn about real music, Epimetheus digs a cardboard box for a while before popping back with a Leonard Bernstein orchestral jazz cd.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Prometheus replaces the disk in the boombox with the new one... And plays it backwards at 200% speed too. He starts dancing around the radio enthusiastically.]

[[And the chase begins!]]

HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PUNK!!

[saikyocivrobo]

[It is on! Prometheus tries to take as many turns during the mad chase through the corridors as possible, to confuse MarKus. His destination - the showers. There's no way such a grease monkey visits those too often!]

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

[[He showers, regularly!

First, he's gotta wash all that hair of his. Second, he has a girlfriend. No stinky boys around the girls!

Rage!chase continues!]] STOP RUNNING YOU FREAKIN ROBOT!

[saikyocivrobo]

[The plan has failed! Prometheus is caught in a corner now, and by a corner I mean under a shower. He backs off slowly in barely constrained panic, free hand slowly heading towards the water tap. Is he trying to commit suicide and take the boombox with him?!]
