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

*Watches* He seems to be a little slow when he's injured. It's not impossible, but it'll likely take a team to beat him.

KL-Impressive....I didn't think an atom bomb could destroy those arfenhouse people. Best stay away from that water, methinks.

[Yar] Noted. Hmm ... So, glowing room, or quick go to fight Evolvo before he finishes healing himself?

*Thinks*

Evolvo- your evil clone seems to be handling the glowing room.

*Opens the painting and steps through.*

[Yar] Works. [follows]

*KL munches some pretzels. The popcorn in the bowl shakes, indicating that SLR is still there, presumably eating*

[Joseph] So, ah, Krylma Leader, was it? After ... well, who knows /how/ long being stuck in that INSANE dimension, I'm kinda in the mood for ... y'know, taking out my anger on something that might not warrant it. Y'know, doing something evil. Do you think I could work for you when this is all finished?

KL-I don't see why not. Evil's not an easy trade, though. Long history, filled with traditions adhered by some, broken by others. Even predates agriculture. But if you feel up to it, then sure. You'll have to work out better than my latest recruit in the popcorn bowl.

*A few beeps and whirs indicate that Stupid Little Robot is, in fact, still in the popcorn bowl*

[Joseph] ... [peers into the popcorn bowl] Say ... would your name by any chance be "Gir"?

Actually, I created SLR before I became an Invader Zim fan (he's been around for about two years now, in some form or another). He was originally pitched as "An even dumber version of the robot Floyd from Planetfall, but designed for a Fairy Tale video game." Then I learned about GIR, and remade him slightly to be like GIR.

It wasn't a massive change, though, as Floyd basically was GIR without the retractable-shoulder-mounted-missile-launchers.


*SLR doesn't even respond aside from a few shakes of popcorn*

KL-I checked his online specs. He's actually some sort of experimental assassin robot. He's the robot powered by dumb luck. He's apparently got a brother somewhere who's powered by hyper intelligence. I couldn't find any record indicating if the two ever got into a fight or not. The scientist always called him Stupid Little Robot, so that's what he thinks his name is, but his specs call him Kill Droid Type 7B Class 2 Unit 1. Stupid Little Robot's just easier to say.

[Joseph] Or SLR. Yeah, I second that.

[Yar enters from the shifting room, waves, and heads off to the Robot Rumble Arena.]

*Returns.*

That was actually pretty cool.

*Grabs a hot chocolate and follows Yar.*

*SLR sticks his head out of the popcorn*

SLR-Yar was looking for me!

KL-Eh?

SLR-Yar was lookin' for me. We're playin' hide-n-seek!

*SLR dissapears back into the popcorn again*

KL-I've got to do something about that robot some day....

[Joseph] Yeah ... his dumb luck probably prevents us from trying to kill him outright ...

KL-*As painful memories surface* You have no idea. However, I've found that he's useful for finding things that you drop in tall grass, or the right passage through tunnels.

[Joseph] Hmm, good point.

*Returns from RR room.*

How's the Dark Lord doing with the name-tag guy?

[Yar arrives at the same moment, while Joseph regards the monitors on the juke box system]

[Joseph] Hmm. They ... seem to be going for /obscure/ attacks. I did /not/ recognize anything in the past several minutes other than that "kamehameha" just now.

KL-A battle of nerds.
