@ownbetrayal | how did this get no likes i'm salivating

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

.. sure. follow me. or should i say, heel.

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

good boy.

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

bark, puppy.

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

certainly feels like you are..

[Why you should have a rabbit @ShouldHaveRabit]

ᵗ ᶦ ⁿ ʸ

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

i just wanted to see if you'd actually come.

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

.. so. that /does/ work. noted.

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

tyler.

[ِ @controdicting]

what if i come over and look at you like this

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

is it finally sinking in now?

[ he raises a brow. of course not. ]

don't mistake closeness for familiarity, tyler. you don't know me at all- or what it took to get here.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

- hands ... dunno , you seem too classy for that kinda job .

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

it's charming that you think i care about you that much. you seriously think i'd do such a thing?

[ meanwhile, his voice is fairly monotone, unimpressed by the boy's claims. ]

i told you already- i don't work on the robots anymore.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

- of him ? ]

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

.. i'd argue 'bored'.

[ comes a shrug with his nonchalant response. ]

where there's lights and sounds, they're sure to wander over.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

honestly , the training tapes made this job seem way more interesting than it actually is .

[ and less deadly , too . which brings him to his next point , ]

but their movements don't make sense . why do they come to /me/ ? it's like .. they're angry .

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

maybe if you didn't sleep on the job.. or paid attention to the training tapes.

[ poor scott. he put such effort into making those. ]

to save on maintenance costs. don't want them locking up overnight and not being able to perform the next day.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

accidents are bound to happen here .

i'm just lucky i haven't gotten eaten by one of your animatronics yet .

[ he looks uneasy for a moment . ]

.. seriously , /why/ do they even move at night ?

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

you expect me to be lax?

[ the man looks away and sighs with his eyes, before his expression firms once more. ]

.. that is precisely how accidents happen.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

what do you expect ? you hire the least sane people in town , and you run this shit like the navy .

you gotta learn to relax a little . go spend time with your wife or something .

[ an eye roll . ]

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

unfortunately, you lot ensure i stay glued to my office chair. it's like running a daycare for a bunch of twenty-somethings..

[ a scowl. ]

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

what's money good for if you waste your days away in an office ?

[ a pause . the more he dwells on william's life , the more depressing it seems . ]

you're .. here all the time . i haven't even seen you take any days off for a vacation or something .

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

no, no it really isn't.

[ comes a sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose. back to bickering. ]

to have /money/.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

that's just a fancy way of saying what i just said .

[ he raises a brow . ]

and why would i want to run a company ? to end up as miserable as you are ?

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

i /progressed/ onto a managerial role as the CEO of a successful company, with robotics as its foundation.

[ he clarifies. ]

i don't have time to do the menial tasks, hence.. i employ you lot. it's called delegation.

.. you know nothing about running a company. it shows.

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

hm .. you gave up robotics for an office job ?

you're not beating the 70 years old allegations .

[ he teases , chuckling to himself . ]

why don't you just keep building more animatronics ? these could definitely use a break .

[🔪 @AFTONROBOTICSS]

i suppose i can come out of robotics retirement, given the desperation of the situation..

[ still maintaining the reality that he wants tyler gone. naturally. that'd never change. ]

[➟ 𝙨𝙥𝙮. @gloomedface]

[ he definitely felt that shift in the air , where the tension once was . now it got replaced by an uncharacteristic softness , and it made tyler's heart beat faster . ]

... you sure you want that ?

i mean , who else is gonna fix your robots as good and fast as i can ?
