Recovery

@mitchftw

This better not be coming from a place of pity. He eyes Steve as he walks in, gaze at first the mostly typical half lidded stare, save for the brow of interest. The instance he sees Steve's hands, however, does his brows rise. Image "Those trash mobs really made you out a dog's dinner, mate." Steve and Mitch is hopefully just the worser examples of that fight though, right? The last hour(was it an hour?) feels more like a blur to him. Shy at some point got hurt, he thinks, and Mitch's gauntlet broke…Steve eventually came to his side and then… what was it again? He was sure Steve was trying to get him back to the team, thinking Mitch couldn't have done anything more but get hurt. Surely he proved everyone wrong on that, right? Nothing will ever slow down the Mitch Williams, after all! …Save for somehow fracturing his foot, it seems. Image "Yeah, I can handle that for you." He sits up, reaching over for one of the sodas. Take off the plastic and take the plastic plunger, and pop! He pauses, keeping it pressed in until it looks like the drink has settled, then places the plunger on the bedside table, followed by holding the drink out for Steve.

There's a slight chuckle at the comment, Steve slightly heartened by the fact Mitch was still making quips. "Hey, I'm pretty sure it was at least a twist miniboss that got me! And at least my mobility didn't get nerfed." Mitch speaks in jabs, and Steve can give them back at that foot in a sling.

And that's when the bracelet disguised gauntlet blinks in the 'missed notification reminder' way again. It's obvious to see, as it happens just as he reaches to carefully grasp his bottle with all 4 available fingers. the blink preludes a small grimace.

"...I've uh. not returned any of Phil's calls yet. to be fair, at first i didn't' exactly have the means of doing so, but now I'm just at a point of... what do we even say?" take a sip of the soda.

"Ya know, we are going to have to share the glory for this one though, even if you lead the charge. You're not going to be sole hero for this mission."

[pri-rp]

"Is it bad i forget furbies exist until i am forced to percieve them?" Steve is not scared. but he has seen... videos. against his will. involving modified furbies, worms on strings, and pikmin noises.

The wolfdog sits up and yawns, showing off every single pearly tooth in his mouth. Then he lies his head back down. “What for? Kinda busy studying, right now.” If it’s important then he’ll move, but otherwise… it’s much better to stay on the couch, his snoot buried in this book. “And, uh, I don’t know you.”

Right. Sure. not only does the wolf talk, it- he's studying. Again, Steve's done asking questions. "Right, sorry, name's Steve, I'm Mitch's coworker and... I'm following up on something for him since his mobility is more limited then mine. This'll be quick, promise, he's just a bit of a private guy so... ya know, less people around to potentially overhear, the better."

Steve prefers being an honest guy. So, he's being blunt about intentions, at least.

Not A Bud

@mitchftw

Human teeth isn't supposed to be sharp or jagged. Ears naturally aren't pointed, and Mitch has definitely doesn't own a pair of spiraling horns like that. That isn't the gauntlet's character customization. There's a shout as the body violently lunges out with darkened claws at the Tech. Somebody very clearly wants to put up an argument!

Shit- the fuck was this? The lung catches Steve completely off guard, and those claws get a damn good grip. before things get complicated further, gritting teeth he's going to 100% only. he can control that, he's used to it, he's not going to risk hurting Mitch further.

"Hey- Snap out of it!!" He can only liken it to some possessor glitch that acted way too fast, but this wasn't a glitch it was something else... and like hell was he going to lose one of his team like this. while some of those claws found their mark int eh surprise, at least this, hopefully, gave opportunity for him to grip those wrists and hold them off. Mitch wasn't going to get out of reach, but he wasn't going to just take the beating either.

"Mitch Williams may be a shit teammate, but he never lets them lose."

Here's backup! A handful of Hinobi Tech Vans pulling on the scene, and... it was as said,t he readings were wack, but none of them could see what they were scanning just yet. Steve in his window can be scene fiddling with his gauntlet- his visor too. They must just need to change the channel.

a message to @mitchftw

We're here, the readings are there; what channel for visual?

Mitch's Backup

@mitchftw

Once Steve is on screen, his eyes refuse to meet his gaze. If he's observant, he might notice how damaged Mitch's plixel armor is, and just how scratched up he is. Are those scratches getting worse or...? "...I need you... to... come to my coordinates. I-I'm sending them over. You... might want to bring a few extra Techs while you're at it..." A very straightforward but not-so-polite way to say I Need Help. You know it's bad when he's asking for help.

Shit. Mitch looked in bad shape- he knew that ego was- now wasn't the time for that. "On it. Can you give any details? i'll keep you on the line as i send the coords out." he can focus on helping first and formost.

never had Mitch ever looked so damage... and never did he ask for help. Whatever was going on, was getting bad. Mitch can see Steve typing on the gauntlet's side- likely sending the coordinates out to folks as he waits for details. he's moving too.

A totally not suspicious gift of a drink he just nabbed from the vending machine is being gifted to Steve. "Hey, mate! Stevie, pal! ...I need another 'favor'."

Steve knew the moment he saw the drink. At least Mitch didn't beat around the bush.

sigh.

"What is it?

[pri-rp]

"...I just came back from stretching my legs why is Mitch glaring daggers at me-"

[pri-rp]

"Steve. And no, It's not because of minecraft, despite what my job may make you think."

[pri-rp]

"The FNAF Anniversary is coming up? darn, I was hoping to celebrate with a simulation room binge... Guess I'mm just stream the movie."

[pri-rp]

"...My favorite color isn't that big a deal, though i appreciate the care of the matter. Blue. deep, vibrant, bold blue. Next time you guys should just ask me though."

[pri-rp]

"I know of Sailor Moon." He's never seen a single episode.

[pri-rp]

Steve, who's your favourite FNAF animatronic?

"Oh geeze, that's a hard one. Are we going by aesthetic, or by lore? I think I have to ignore UCN because that adds a lot that are kind of nothing... I kind of want to joke and say Mr. Hippo, but i can't do it with a straight face." he's already grinning. there's mroe thought put into it. "The Marionette i think has had the intrigue for the longest time, just from the initial scare when they first appeared, unique design, and not to mention there's a lot of lore."

Hm. His favorite of the crew? Steve has to think. "If we go by easiest to work with or work on... definitely Freddy. Glamrock Freddy, to be official; I'm not going to dive into all the previous iterations. Monty's just not safe to work on, or well, he's just aggressive. Still haven't gotten an answer for why a kids bot needs actual literal claws." He goes back to working on the STAFFbot infront of him. "CHica is... Look, she's fine, except you have to clearn her thoroughly before and after any work done. I get the purpose of having a like, false food tank so they dont' have to disappoint kids who want to share birthday cake but why include actual taste receptors or anythign that owuld make the behavior rewarding in any sense? it's just... a mess, and a risk to her servos, honestly. Roxy, it's hit or miss. some days she's cooperative, others she's too proud to 'need help'. Meanwhile, Glamrock Freddy's always just... chill. Never any power struggle despite being the star, and just a friendly guy with an even temperment." with that, Steve shuts the panel of the bot he was working on, and activates it. with a few mechanical whirrs, the STAFF Bot comes to life. a few boot up tests and he's pointing it along it's way.

"I guess if we're talking personalities the Daycare Attendant's been a newer bond... I don't work on them often though. They're mostly the Jurisdication of my supervisor, really."

[pri-rp]

Huh. Mitch is rocking the dress. Good on him. He deserves some silly fun

...Steve is going to try and not get mixed up with that though. He does not have that sort of confidence.

[pri-rp]

@mitchftw Immediately rushing over to the older Tech, panicked. "Stevie!!! It wore off!!!"

There was the thought of being a lil sassy with the 'obviously, i can hear you' but no. Steve's amiable to the situation. "Alright, hold stil." the last time was simple to pull up- aim, and... flash.

another temp mute.

[pri-rp]

Hey! Pokemon actually is oen of the games Steve has more then bare bones needed-for-work knowledge about!

"My favorite pokemon is kind of wild, but Gulpin. Just looks squishy, though probably has a... smell to it in reality."
