So.

What do you guys do when you're really mad at someone?

Productive and unproductive tactics welcome. I also enjoy colorful stories.

[ Okay, it's time to confront this. She's calm. She's good. She's going to say something elegant, and Felix is going to respect her, and they will be friends.

Here goes! ]

You're stupid.

...a robot?

Aye. Rex and Babs and me came up with 'em during the rabies thing. Mostly for a backup comms and page system.

Not a person-sized robot.

[Iris is wearing hers, which she built in the shape of a rather attractive metal hairclip, and she turns her head now to show Racetrack.]

No, they're little. Very limited. About all they can do is contact each other; I 'ad to make 'em as inmateproof as I could, 'cause the idea were that everyone could 'ave one. Most of 'em I made to look like little animals or jewellery.

And what does it do? Why have it?

The rabies 'appened on account of that Toto managed to knock 'is warden on the 'ead and keep 'im tied up for days. Senji were one of those quiet types without many friends, and no bugger noticed 'e were missing.

We made the 'bots to stop that 'appening again. Mine'll call backup for me if I say a safeword in 'earing range of it - or you can set 'em on a timer, for example - ping your friends if you don't tell it not to inside a specified time. And they ping if your lifesigns drop.

Sounds like a good idea.

You offering?

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[routemistress]

Course I am, you daft mare. D'you want one of the standard ones or shall I do you a custom job?

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

I have no idea what I'd do with a custom one.
