Who: Robin (and you!)
Broadcast: Video, open network!
Action: Anyone who makes it onto the Bloodsport.
When: RIGHT NOW.
[he opens up a video feed and adjusts it so that everyone can see... well... something like this going on where he's cleared space in the engine room. it's metal pipes rather than sharp swords, but the thought is still there... the camera moves and Robin's dumb face shows up, grinning--]
Okay, okay. Hey.
You, me. Robot arms that fight each other.
I'll open bets and the rest of my booze. Come on, who's in?

[hey, guess who's finally showing his face on the network. and this face is getting way too close to the camera now so he can see better.]
What are those??
[because he was obviously listening so well.]
video
[ CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT ]
video
Just the arms? ...You can do that??
video
They can do other stuff too, like picking things up, as long as you have one of these. [ and he holds up the controller for the left arm (since Robin has the right one) to the camera so that Nel can see. ]
video
Whoa! Is that how you make it move?
video
[ and this is the part where the camera jiggles a lot before it stills with Lloyd walking away from it. ]
Can you see it? [ himself and the arms, he means ]
video
[even though he doesn't actually give any thought to what exactly he's supposed to be seeing.]
video
[ he holds the controller up so that Nel can get a good view of it, and then he starts to move the joysticks on it. the arm moves accordingly, spinning a couple of times and even having it drop the pipe and pick it back up.
he pauses to look back to the camera with a wide grin. ISN'T THAT AWESOME IT'S SO AWESOME RIGHT? ]
video
not until Lloyd pauses in what he's doing and is obviously looking for a response. that's when Nel breaks out into a giant grin.]
--Whoa!! That's so scary!
video
video
Like... to the death??
video
They have these... [ what's the word ] "sensor"-things all over them so that if it ends up being hit, they'll stop fighting.
video
[he almost gets it.]
So, sensors kind of like... targets?
video
video
video
video
[he drags the camera in closer so that he can take a look... check out these sweet robot hands!]
We can make them hold stuff, pick stuff up, fight each other--it's slick business.
video
Are they dangerous??
[because hey killer police drones from home.]
video
video
[because what if??]
video
Already took care of it. They're bolted down. That, and I could probably snap them in half.
video
...Really?
video
[he brings the camera back up to his gorgeous, smiling face.]
So you should get over here if you can. It'll be fun.
video
[he kind of wants to go back to the can snap them in half part, but... it's that face smiling over the screen that sidetracks him. and he can't help mirroring it, grinning back.]
...Okay.
video
video sort of
[and once Nel shuts off the video, Robin is going to be left waiting for.... a while... because it's Nel.
hopefully he didn't forget. or die en route.]
action sort of
...damn it, maybe he should have told him to take a buddy...]
action... or the lack thereof...
...
...yeah, you might want to give him a call.]
hrm...
video... eventually!
