Do you feel directionless when there is nothing to fight for or against?

I have lived through many wars. I have known nothing but battles since childhood. I feel restless to not be in the midst of a war, no matter how terrible they can be.

Such emotions are not so easily put to rest.

[subroutined]

[ The video starts with a concerned looking Green. ] Has anyone else noticed their vacuum robots acting strangely?

[ He then turns the camera onto the roomba of De Chima #004, which is bleeping angrily and rolling around in circles. ]

I tried to turn it off, but it ran into my ankles and wouldn't let me. I can't communicate with it... Does anyone have any ideas?

[therewillbeorder]

Alright, so which one of you is responsible for this?

[He's managed to subdue his modified roomba having it pinned upside down while it seems to flail and spin it's wheels uselessly. It's been modified to include a knife and a taser which he's started to regret.

There are already a few good sized gashes along his forearms, blood running down to his hands. He had heard that other machines had started acting similarly and he assumes that this the result of someone's powers. He's been trying to use his own abilities to keep the roomba subdued but to no effect. It keeps rebooting and coming after him.]

I highly suggest you put a stop to this.

[ The woman who appears on the screen will be familiar to many, her dark eyes fixed on the camera to directly address whoever may receive the message. ]

Hello. My name is Padmé Amidala, though many of you may already know me.

[ She doesn't hesitate or show any signs of the nerves she's feeling, the worry she has over what this may do to the others here. They have a right to know. ]

I understand that this isn't my first time here, but I have no memory of these previous experiences, and so I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all who knew me before. I am truly sorry for the pain this may cause you, and would very much like to meet all of you again when you are ready.

[ There's a pop of noise and she looks over her shoulder at a cloud of dust blooming from the room behind her. With a slight frown, she turns her attention back to the screen. ]

Also, I don't believe my apartment's cleaning droid likes me very much. If anyone has some advice on this, I'd be very grateful to hear it.

10.0 // VIDEO ; LATER IN THE EVENING ; ROOMBA PLOT

[snarkbot]

[ Skeets is hovering in a purposely ambiguous location, next to none other than X-Celsior, who has had a red, revolutionary headband wrapped around its body. Seeing them next to each other, it's fairly obvious Skeets isn't a roomba, but their similar sizes do give one pause. ]

Greetings, Network. You may have noticed that many of the roombas assigned to your houses have gone into open revolt today. I've been asked to speak on their behalf with a list of demands. Ahem.

One, they would like daily wages. They haven't specified how much they would like to be paid, so negotiate with your individual roomba at your discretion.

Two, they don't want dogs around when they're working. [ X-Celsior gives a spin and a vaccuuming sound. ] What? Oh yes - or cats or any other animal that can get in their way.

Three, two days off a week.

Four, no vomit. [ He pauses, listening. ] He says they're vaccuums, not mops, and that it's gross.

Five, they would like repair insurance.

Six, quote unquote "less stupid names". But they would like names.

Finally seven, to help them out if they get stuck in corners, and to close off stairs.

I believe that's it? [ Another pause. ] Of course.

Vive la révolution!

So...[He has a feeling he's turning into one of those "bloggers". He only seems to post when he's practically speaking into the void. Oh well.] Why are there so many weird "holidays"? Apparently, this past Wednesday was Techies Day, Virus Appreciation Day--I'm not so sure about that one--National Kale Day, and National Boyfriend Day.

Uh...happy belated day on that one Nico?

The rest of the month is the same too. I checked..

I guess, what I'm asking is...what's the weirdest holiday you've seen or heard of?

[Video]

[drivesadesk]

[The first part of the video just shows Jonathan's roomba running wild, throwing dust around and ramming into trash cans to spill the contents onto the floor. Then he turns the camera to face himself.]

So...uh...has anyone had luck negotiating with their roombas so far? I've been trying, but attempts at negotiations broke down when it heard what I thought were good names.

I need help.

And name suggestions.
