Video @Pratt

[theweakhavepurpose]

[The video opens with a idyllic shot of horses grazing in a pasture with a barn in the background. Well idyllic if you discount the fact that they're clearly on the agriculture level of Beacon, one of the horses is glowing and the other is Branwen and that some of the other animals in the paddock are mutated deer. It's about as close to scenic as this place gets.]

Kieran and I have been working on getting a ranch going up here. Cho's been doing tests on the deer and they're good to eat so I'm gonna try and get a little herd going. But then over here...

[The camera pans to some cleared areas nearby with the smoothness of someone who has used their phone to film hundreds of Vine videos back home.]

I thought we could start some sort of farm? I've grown tomatoes before but I don't know anything about farming, I'm more the livestock sort. So if anyone wants to work on this, you're more than welcome.

Actually if anyone wants to help with any of this feel free. But don't try to pet the deer. They're not friendly.

Yeah.

[Momentary pause where he realizes that he doesn't know what this guys name is, he only knows his user name. Is Qubit his name? That doesn't sound like a name, maybe it's a name. Time to not say anything and pretend he totally knows.]

Okay that's pretty cool.

[He doesn't notice the charging dock thing because he's never seen a Roomba IRL before. Maybe it runs off batteries or magic or by eating dirt, he doesn't know.]

Thanks. You didn't have to do that.

[superposition]

[ Yeah, he sure didn't have to! Which kinda makes it worse, in a way. Qubit just forces a tight-lipped smile as he hands off the Roomba to Pratt. ]

Don't mention it.

[ No, seriously, don't mention it. He's not in a hurry to make any more of these. Also it's about now that he notices they're not alone? Wow, how did he miss that, that is a large d- that's not a dog at all. ]

Is that a wolf? [ He's not scared per se, just startled. ]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[he's too distracted excitedly turning the thing over in his hands and staring at it. He's now officially the most technologically advanced person he knows back home. Suck on that Xander. Sure he has a Macbook, but Pratt has a Roomba.]

Yeah. PT. I didn't want to leave her up at the ranch because she just wants to chase the deer around and she's gonna get kicked in the face one of these days.

[superposition]

[ Huh. So you just... have a wolf. Okay. Not the strangest thing anyone's ever kept as a pet, I guess. He leans against the doorframe, folding his arms. ]

... Well. This should help with shedding season, at least. I had a couple of Great Pyrenees, last place I lived. Ended up with a whole fleet of these.

[ Although Komasan also sort of collected Roombas, so that was a contributing factor, too. ]

[theweakhavepurpose]

It's already a nightmare. I'm surprised the entire forest isn't felted with wolf fur twenty-four seven.

[He holds the Roomba out to Princess Thug for her to sniff. She doesn't seem terribly impressed.]

Thanks for this man. Also that you can make these things is super awesome.

[superposition]

[ Qubit halfheartedly waves off the thanks. It was much awesomer when he didn't have to fry his brain to do it. ]

I would... honestly rather you keep it on the quieter side, for the moment. How should I put this... [ He squeezes the bridge of his nose briefly. ] I'm subject to... certain limitations, here in Anchor, that I didn't have previously. So I can't make one of these for everyone.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Keep it secret, keep it safe? I can do that.

[His secret roomba supplier.]

Thanks man. I'll let you get back to non-roomba related stuff.

[He needs to go to his room and vacuum immediately.]

[superposition]

You're welcome. See you around.

[ Meanwhile, Qubit will just... go wait for the meds to kick in! Fun times. ]
