[The feed opens onto a view of a kitchen in De Chima, and—a Roomba. The Roomba that's come with this particular household, in fact, whirring cheerfully away. It doesn't actually seem to be cleaning, however: in fact, it's just soaking up the sunlight by the window, like a cat.

This is already weird enough by itself, but clearly the person shooting this video has other plans. The camera turns, to reveal Veronica Sawyer.]

So I noticed this little—what was it called, a Roomba? It's started following me around lately, which is really weird but kinda cute. [She smiles a little.] I just came home and saw it like this.

[She turns the camera around again, to focus on said Roomba. It is now making an odd whirring noise that could easily be construed as a mechanical version of a purr. Then she turns the video back on herself.]

Anyone feel like helping me name a semi-sentient vacuum cleaner that thinks it's a cat? Personally I'm leaning towards Fluffy, but I'm open to suggestions.

Do the cleaning yourself. It ain't that hard.

[couldbebeautiful]

It's not, but when the thing that's specifically built as a vacuum cleaner thinks it's a cat, then that's kind of going to make things a little bit tricky.

[dirtyredneck]

Don't see how. It ain't interested in cleaning no more. And if it does want to once you do, then you can stop and let it 'til it gets bored.

[couldbebeautiful]

That's—not actually bad advice. Thanks, stranger. [A second's pause, then:] Getting back to the subject of names, I'm Veronica. You?

[dirtyredneck]

Daryl. Dixon. One of your roommates do that to it? Or it just do it on it's own?
