There is a little robot hanging around the Cooper farm.

No. No, not that one. That is a big robot.

This one's about the size, shape, and colour of a basketball. It's adorable as all hell and would be delighted to make your acquaintance.

Today, it is making its first foray into the Cooper house. People seem to congregate in the kitchen, so it hops up onto the table and swivels back to face the door.

Please do not mistake it for food.

Joyful: "To! To!"

Ditto doesn't restrict itself to mimicing physical form; if you have a habit of repeating yourself, then that's fair game as well.

"Ditto ditto!"

OMG DITTO WANTS EAR-FLAPS.

"Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!"

It sliiiiides a little closer to the table, peering closely up at the itty-bitty round thing.

Then allow Ditto to add a little variation to the proceedings! Haro is made of metal, sure, but that shouldn't pose a problem; Pokemon come made of so many weird and wonderful materials, after all.

Now Ditto is a godd deal rounder and yellower, although it retains the same approximate level of adorability.

"Ditto! Ditto!"

LOOK LOOK DITTO HAS EARFLAPS

LOOK LOOK DITTO CAN FLAP THEM

"Hello! Hello!"

FLAP FLAP FLAP

And now there is someone at the door.

A very, very confused someone.

Haro does not normally send out incoherent distress signals.

Neil is worried and alarmed and-- WHAT

WHAT THE FUCK



"...Haro?"

[identity profile] copyblob.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Ditto has the impression that it has erred somehow. But but but what did it do wrong? All it did was randomly steal another creature's physical appearance! D:

"Problem? Problem?"

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, he's going to take a wild guess and surmise that the Haro clinging to his waist like a bewildered limpet is the real deal, and the other one is...

...is...

...?

...Steve has to eat sometime. You know. Probably. That's what his stomach says, anyway, even if his brain is preoccupied with other things.

(Usually those other things are super awesome plans for super awesome inventions, but, uh, that's not exactly the case right now. You understand.)

When he steps through the door, he's faced with Neil and Haro and...

...

Helplessly, to Steve: "D'you have any idea what's going on?"

[identity profile] eureka-bell.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Oh."

Steve is aware of his own distractibility, and right now he's leaping at any opportunities to be distracted. Plus: he recognises this phenomenon. Steve figures most of the farm has probably fallen victim to the little pink blob.

"Your robot has fallen victim to an infamous threat that lurks around the farm. It turns up now and then and turns into people."

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really?"

He glances from Haro to Ditto and back.

"Can we ask it not to turn into my robot? Or into me, actually."

[identity profile] eureka-bell.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, we tend to discourage it, but it doesn't pay much attention."

To the second Haro: "Hey. Stop it."

(...his voice is definitely more monotone than usual. What's that all about?)

[identity profile] copyblob.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Security? Security?"

Ditto has no knowledge of this concept!

In fact, it sounds a little bewildered and upset, like a puppy who's been told off for performing a trick.

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"...It even talks like him. Good God."

Neil frowns at Ditto.

(It doesn't occur to him that Steve doesn't know he knows. He assumes Val's informational largesse is an accepted principle around here.

Which might explain the hand he rests on the younger man's shoulder, or it might not.)

Soft: "Hey. You okay?"

[identity profile] copyblob.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
D:

...

:(((

The imitation Haro slowly softens into something pinker and more blobby, and regards them all with a mournful look.

[identity profile] eureka-bell.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure I'm okay."

Convincing Steve is... not so convincing. But definitely not rejecting the hand, because he could use all the comfort he can get right now.

"Look," nodding towards Ditto to avoid looking at Neil, "there it goes."

[identity profile] neraiutsu.livejournal.com 2009-02-21 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"So I see."

He raises his visible eyebrow at Ditto.

"And don't do that again, okay? C'mon," this to Steve, "let's get out of its way before it gets the bright idea of turning into me."

With Haro resting against his hip, he steers Steve gently out towards the bunker and Dynames.
