THE MOCK WEEK

[You find yourself waking in a large dressing room, incredibly spacious, but in intense disarray. The bed is comfortable enough, and each room seems to be equipped with a working bathroom and shower, so it's at least livable. But aesthetically, the place has hit the floor.

The horrifying clock
mounted on the wall reads 9 am. After enough searching, you'll find a large tourist-y map of the studio on one of the dressers. An ominous note attached to the map with a paperclip reads "12PM WAITING AREA". It's not like you have any choice in the matter, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any way out.

Upon exiting the dressing room, you note a crooked star attached to the door bearing your name. There are 24 others like this, bearing names that you may or may not recognize. A quick tour around the studio reveals it to be in a similar state of disrepair, but something doesn't sit...right with you. Though the place is certainly creepy, you get strange vibes as you explore the building. As you move about the dust-filled halls of the abandoned building, you may spot movement out of the corner of your eye, or hear strange noises from behind you. It's nothing to be worried about, though...right?

At the very least, you'll find some comfort. The projection room and attached theater still seem to be in working order, though you'll have to manually grab one of the reels off the wall and start the thing yourself. In addition, the waiting area and lounge are both filled with reading materials, and the later features a large stage and a microphone. The commissary seems to replenish itself with food whenever you take your eyes off of it, ensuring that we won't be going hungry anytime soon. There are also cabinets full of ingredients and a small kitchen should you not trust whatever your benefactor is placing out for you.

Fortunately for them, the smaller individuals amongst your party won't find a great deal of difficulty moving around. Though their beds remain oversized, there seem to be appropriately-sized staircases and escalators placed about in appropriate spots, so as to make their lives easier. After all, they can't just keep relying on the others to get up to the cabinets and such, can they?

While you're waiting to find out what the deal here is, you might as well come out and socialize.]

pinkflip: when did everything become such a hell of a mess? (cut to now‚ holy wow)

[...She grins, sheepish.]

A robot. Sorry for the confusion, little guy, I should just stick to simple words, I'm no brainiac.
trashcubes: (hey I've got an idea...)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-08 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[Yes, that word he understands, and will nod in response. He is a robot!]
pinkflip: now let's go (can it be‚ lucky me‚ lucky me)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-08 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Well! What a cute little guy, she can't help herself, Kimberly lets out a little squeal.]

And you're moving all on your own, aren't you? Ohhh, you're like a super-tiny Alpha! What's your name?
trashcubes: (watching hello dolly again)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Wa... WALLYYYYY...

[While facing her, Kim should now be able to see the logo "WALL-E" stamped in the bottom right corner of his frame here.]
pinkflip: get the best of (♡ we are the people that you'll never)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-08 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Another squeal, and a little giggle. She gets it now, ohhh!! She grabs one of his little hands and shakes it.]

Hello, WALL-E! My name's Kimberly, and I'm so so pleased to meet you!
trashcubes: (put on your sunday clothes)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-08 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[He's never had someone eagerly shake hands with him like that before, but despite the momentary startle, he allows her to shake it.

... There might be dirt on his hands here though, sorry about that.]


Ki... Kimburrleeeee?

[Is he saying it right?]
pinkflip: a contest? (can't you tell that this is just)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-08 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha-ha, just like that! [Another little shake, oh it's okay little friend, she can wash her hands.] Do you live around this place, little guy?
trashcubes: (foreign contaminant?)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-09 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[At that, WALL-E shakes his head a little here. This place is just as new to him as it is to you, Kimberly.]
pinkflip: when did everything become such a hell of a mess? (cut to now‚ holy wow)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She heaves a sigh.]

Was afraid of that. Oh well, when we're rescued, I'll make sure you get outta here too, alright, WALL-E? I'm sure there're a bunch of people missing a cutie like you.
trashcubes: (maybe someday...)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-09 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[At that, WALL-E tilts his head a little before looking down at his hands, clasping them together at the thought. There's not a lot to Earth, but there are things about it he does miss right now...]
pinkflip: sing it right back (♡ just sing it loud‚ until the kids will)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, the little guy... Kim pats him on his rectangular...head.]

Don't worry! I... I know there're some people looking for us.
