[Some random sketches of the Jackbot itself off to the side--trying to get the proportions right, and then a full, cartoonish sketch of Hikaru beating a fallen Jackbot with a bat, a grin on his face]

Well, it looks like things are kinda calming down. A little bit. Or something.

So, hey! Think I can actually leave my room now without having to tote around a baseball bat, like I have been?

You don't have to have a baseball bat, it's just been recommended

Ah, sounds like they're mostly gone? Except people are finding them in their bathrooms and closets and stuff...

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

Closets? ... Huh. Didn't exactly look there.

[transcribed footsteps, then a door opening--a yelp, some mechanical noises, then several loud "WHACK!!!"s]

[looooong pause, then dictated, out of breath:]

Right. Hiding... in the closet. Thanks for.... the heads-up... ne?

[a loooong pause, then laughter]

At least you got him.

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

[transcribed laughter, then back to written~]

Yeah! They're not so tough. Just surprising. And fun to draw!

[another Jackbot doodle--except this one's wearing a tiara and has a little heart in a thought bubble]

[scribbles a Jackbot with a rose next to it]

More fun to draw than to "battle", yeah.

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

"Battle"? Heh. Like a video game. Destroy the Pesky Robotic Roaches!!

[Jackbot with a video game controller and "@$#*!!" in a speech bubble]

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

Sounds cheesy.

[Jackbot with lipstick and a pigtail wig]

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

For little kids. Or People who hate roaches.

[transcribed snickering]

I like that! [arrow to Duo's latest Jackbot, then his own drawing of one with a short/spiky wig and a spiked collar and wristbands]

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

Or little kids who hate roaches?

Damn. [arrowed comment to Hikaru's Jackbot "Rock fan?" and a guitar added next to it]

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

Me? Some. Him? Nah. Think he prefers death metal.

[drawn chibi!style Jackbot of the same variety, headbanging]

I'm Hikaru, by the way. What's your name?

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

[laughter]

Fair enough.

Duo Maxwell. Nice to meet you! [scribbled smiley-with-braid]

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

[Laughter of his own~]

Nice to meet you, too. [scribbled chibi!Hikaru smiley]

Are you one of those around here who has enough fighting experience to deal with more of these things?

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

Not too much experience, but enough, sure. Guessing you aren't, since you're resorting to baseball bats?

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

Never fought a day in my life!

Except for the time I punched that one kid for picking on my brother and me. I don't think that measures up, though.

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

Think I envy you. Except when there are things attacking, of course.

Damn good reason to punch someone, I'd say.

[devilish-tricks.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to fight. I'd rather play tricks on the enemy. Mess with their heads or something.

I thought so, too. [thumbs-up!Hikaru]

[imaginihs-02.livejournal.com]

[laughter]

Hey, whatever works.
