01 ♫ VIDEO

_{[As soon as the video starts, Demyx is looking down at the camera while fiddling with something behind it.]}

You got it? Just hold onto it like this - both hands, and don't drop it! Once we're done I'll get you some more glow sticks, okay?

_{[For a moment a pointed silver "hand" covers the lens, prompting Demyx to gently re-adjust whatever it is. He disappears from view once everything seems normal, and there's some rustling in the background before Demyx bounds back into frame with a small remote and a wild grin.]}

Okay! You guys've seen those little robots they got out in the street, right? Turns out they've got smaller ones that're for your rooms and stuff so I may have gone out to get one like... two nights ago, along with some other things. Now you're probably thinking that's pretty cool - not having to do a crazy amount of cleaning, right? Well, they get way cooler! Hang on--

<sub>[He pushes a button on the remote, and inside his apartment music starts to play in the distance.

It slowly starts to get closer and louder in turn, and whatever is manning the communicator starts to get a little wobbly. Almost as if it's... dancing. And eventually a flat, circular vacuum scoots into view with a set of speakers attached to it, prompting a laugh from Demyx.]</sub>

Ta-da~♪ Presenting the one and only DJ Roomba!

_{[It bumps into a corner, turns, and after a couple seconds it starts to creep towards the camera, which gets the attention of the 'camera man'. After it gets close enough, the communicator drops, and a strange silver creature twists and zooms out of view as Demyx scrambles to pick up the dropped device. Whatever that was, it sure did get spooked!]}

I guess he didn't like the song or something, but uh... Anyway! I wanna load this baby up with other stuff, so gimme some really good ones!

[synchroswim]

Uh...

_{[Though she can't see it, his face screws up momentarily in confusion.]}

They're just speakers, so it's not like I'm trying to do rocket science or anything like that.

_{[It's not super complicated!]}

[bubbleblaster]

[ It might not be complicated, but even so...]

Still, it's not like you just put them on the robot without securing them at all, right?

[synchroswim]

I mean, I only have the one set right now. It'd be kinda dumb if I stuck it on for good, wouldn't it?

[bubbleblaster]

Probably? But it'd also be bad if they somehow got damaged because they weren't secured on it somehow, even if it's nothing permanent.

[synchroswim]

But it's like... three inches off the ground. They're fine, man.

[bubbleblaster]

[ ... Okay, yeah, she was really spending way too much thought on this. He was right, and if the speakers broke it's not like they were hers. ]

I guess that response gives me a definitive answer to my last question.

[synchroswim]

Even if something did happen to 'em I could probably go schmooze it up with someone and get a new pair like...

_{[He snaps his fingers.]}

Bam. I had people buying me all sorts of food earlier this month, so why not something a little fancier?

[bubbleblaster]

... I don't think food and electronics are really comparable. Even if people were willing to buy you food, they're probably not going to want to get you a set of speakers.

[synchroswim]

I've gotten way better than a tiny pair of speakers before from people just by sucking up to 'em. It's not gonna be that hard.

_{[He's the Master of Schmooze. He'll schmooze his way up to a better couch if he has it his way!]}

'sides, they were buying me tons of food. I didn't have to go out or buy anything for almost a week.

[bubbleblaster]

[ Okay, well, clearly she can't argue with his results. Though honestly, why he needs to bother with getting other people to buy him stuff she doesn't understand.]

...Well, clearly you're more experienced with what will work than I am.
