Fourinator

[usernameinator]

[The screen shows...a blank patch of wall for a second or two.]

Really. Really. Are we going to have to do this every time? I mean, I really thought you'd have this whole "show what you're recording" thing down by now, since, you know, you're a camera and all.

[The screen pans over to show Doof, who is looking a little less than impressed.]

There we go. Finally.

Aaaaaaanyway. I know I haven't been around for a while, but when that whole pony thing happened, it really threw off my plans. You ever try to build anything without thumbs? Much harder than it looks. So then I decided to build a DePonyinator, so I could, you know, not be a pony anymore. Of course, then I ran into that whole building-without-thumbs problem again, but I decided to try it anyway. Three bottles of mouthwash later and my mouth still tastes like screwdriver. Three whole bottles!

Well, the DePonyinator never actually got finished because I randomly stopped being a pony, so I decided to modify it. BEHOLD, SATELLITE OF LOVE!

[...and nothing happens. Doof frowns.]

Seriously. We practiced this. I say BEHOLD, SATELLITE OF LOVE! all dramatic-like, and you pan to the left to show off my latest Inator. Got it?

[The feed pans up and down - Cambot is nodding.]

Good. Okay, let's try that again. [He clears his throat.] BEHOLD, SATELLITE OF LOVE!

[Cambot pans obligingly to the left, showing off what looks like a very big ray gun.]

The TagWithActualLasersinator! See, I saw everyone playing with with the wimpy little laser guns, and I thought I'd make one of my own, except with actual lasers! It's in the name and everything. With this, I can be on my own team and not have to worry about getting picked last or any of those other crippling adolescent fears. All I have to do is just charge it up, like so... [He flips a switch and several lights on the Inator blink on.] ...and it will produce a laser beam powerful enough to punch through any solid object. I can win without even playing! And even better, I can use it to RULE THE TRI-STATE- I mean, THE SATELLITE OF LOVE!

...yes, I know it's against the rules and everything, sure, but- screw the rules, I have science! [He grins and steeples his fingers. Why yes, he has just secured his place as Most Evil Person On The Satellite. Take that, Evil-Sora-Clone-Person!] So! Who wants to play?

[Oh God this guy again. Maes stares at the camera for a moment]

You do remember we're in space right? Are you TRYING to get yourself killed?

[guardiano_perduto]

[So this is the first time Ratchet's thought to go and check out the network, just for kicks. If he's going to be stuck here and there was no real imminent threat, might as well, huh?

He kind of wishes he didn't now.

So you just get a whooole bunch of staring from a very awkward, very unimpressed Lombax.]

Oooookay, I can see what they mean about the 'mad scientists' thing.

[sailorlaughter]

Oooh, oooh, me! Pick me, pick me! I wanna play!

[halfdarkened]

[It's... Just a Cambot. No, not just any Cambot. Considering the odd movements and the scratches, along with the sudden lens readjustments that seem indicative of some of Riku's videos (generally when he's trying to get the thing to work right...)]

[Ceiling Cambot is watching you master-plan.]

[punsofiron]

Y'know, your doomsday weapons could use much better names.

[sailormagic]

[A purple pony is going to peer at this device, intrigued. No, she doesn't think it's capable of doing what it's supposed to do, why do you ask?]

What, exactly, does this machine accomplish?

[verygassy]

[There might be a shadowy figure behind Doof, tiptoeing towards the laser...]

[itsjustthemads]

I must say, you've shown some great initiative here!

[keyofemptiness]

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Yami Power!

[minime]

[Yami Bakura smirks and crosses his arms at the play gun.]

Ooo, so scary. But I'm afraid you're mistaken about the Most Evil Person thing, because a new villian's in town.

[He pulls out a scimitar he pilfered from the weapons vault a couple days ago ((in the sneaky-sneak Adventure log from the minime profile)), and waves it expertly.]

And I'm British, baby!

[thesilenthero]

[Lexaeus thinks that the standards for Mad Scientists in this universe in general seem rather low. Vexen would certainly not be impressed, but then, Vexen rarely was. Well, there's more than one way to deal with difficult personalities, as Axel demonstrated.]

It is a pity that your laser gun would likely be ineffective against the Tom Servos on their own deck.
