h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll go for the bot to win by an arm and a leg.

*frizzes back in*
Hi all, what a night. So what's...oh crap! *having suddenly spied the CB and Odra. Leaps over counter and starts crawling commando stylie towards the porch. keeping one eye on the action and one eye on the screen door*

Sure, Kes, but whose arm and leg?

*dangles for a moment, kicking futilely. Hangs limp for a moment, seemingly defeated...and then kicks out sharply with both feet. Manages to catch the rafter with her hobnailed boot, and pulls herself back over to the rafter.

The sudden movement jars the extended attachment, pulling it free. Odra now jousts with the 'bot from her high perch, jabbing at it with her lance.

The bot toys with her a few moments, then snatches back the attachment. Retracts the duster huffily. While it is distracted so doing, Odra takes careful aim with a latte mug, and fires it squarely at the Dread Orange Button*

LOOK OUT!!! *leaps secret service style, throwing himself in front of Babel, accepting the inevitable refuse casted upon himself, for reasons unknown, while simultaniously grabbing a left-over beverage from the counter* I don't want to have to use my powers, but if this keeps up any longer, I'll have no choice.

I don't think the 'bot is over-fussy whether they come from opponent or spectators.
You don't happen to have a spare tin hat on you, do you?

*dives through screen as Odra hits Dread Orange Button*
Oh noooooo! Not the button!
*curls up in a ball*

I'm giving 2 to 1 on Odra, folks. So, pony up whatever you are in a position to lose.

GO ODRA!!!!

*contemplates riches and booty beyond measure*

50-50 SPLIT ON THE ILL-GOTTEN GAINS, ODRA!!!! GO GIRL!!!!

So I guess that's simulposting, Huh?

Yup Val. Simulpost at its best!
*uncurls slightly*

*sensors spot bogey at one o'clock and the bot extrudes a curious white puffy thing which suddenly unfurls into a french polishing buffer nearly 3 feet in diameter*
*the cup bounces harmlessly in the fluff and drops toward the floor, but is neatly intercepted by a dustpan and set down softly*

*the bot then jams the french polisher upward, intending to push Odra off the rafter*
*Odra is, however, covered with honey and sticks to the polisher*

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP

*the bot tries futilely to shake Odra loose then cants the attachment at a 90 degree angle and heads for the nearest wall at about 12 miles per hour*

I'll take those odds, jr!

*breathes easier with the orange button missed*

All right, I've had enough. *fully removes tele-blocker and continues foreward, oblivious to substances he cannot decipher projecting in every which way.*
Everybody, step back.

OOOOHHHHHHHH.....BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID AT THE CLIFF!!!!!

*uncurls fully to watch, and pulls Val to safety*
That was too close!
You don't want to know what happens when one of the CLI Orange buttons gets pushed! Pass me some of that coffee somebody.

*removes sunglasses*(what time is it?)
It's showtime. *Bot is seen lifted upward as a octarine light floods the room and snaps back, sending the bot screaming towards the floor ; yet freezing just before impact, as if expecting total annihilation and recieving nothing but cotton candy.*

*Odra is stuck to the polisher both by her honey coating and her spiked bracelets, which have snagged. She struggles frantically as the wall speeds toward her. Marshalling all her strength, she kicks out her legs as before, just before impact, and causes the 'bot to skid backward.

This jarring effect bends the polisher slightly, making it more level. Odra yanks the fanblade attachment out again and attempts to steer the bot as one would steer a gondola. Odra and bot wheel around the cafe, careeining in circles, as it tries to buck her off*

Odra, look out!

*sips coffee*

*the bot wheels frantically backward and suddenly runs into broken crockery, which causes the wheels to lock up*

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

*the bot has run out of options. It can't move and it can't change attachments because of the big sticky Odra*

*bot shuts down*
