Walter Girl B's Room of Scientific Discovery and Kitty-Cat Cuteness

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


The room that Brianna has taken within the boarding house is a smallish bedroom located on the second floor, tucked out of sight and generally unnoticed by all. She keeps it tidy at all times, as Brianna prefers to keep things in their proper places, but with a happy cat bounding from here to there at times, it can sometimes get a little out of sorts.

Though Brianna can often be found more down in the workshop or attending to the automatons she's been charged with taking care of, there are moments of downtime in which she can be tracked down her lonely little room.

Sometime during the day there would be a light rapping against the door of the Walter Girls' room, just enough to be heard. There was jingling that had accompanied him as well, of course, thanks to the baby pink cat collar that he wore. The bell was something he could almost ignore without trouble.

"Miss Brianna?" Of course he knew she was in there, he'd been lurking about to be sure he wouldn't accidentally catch Miss Paige, or even worse Miss Bunny.

There was something on his mind.

He gave his hat a tip when he stepped inside at the invitation, perhaps only to see what had been done with the room since the three women had moved in. It was nice.

"Just to ask you somethin', really." Oh the jingling. A hiss of steam escaped him, glowing green gaze settling on B as he stood perhaps a little awkwardly, not all that sure what to do with himself. "If you'd like to accompany me on a little walk." He hadn't left the yard for a while, let alone gone all that far off their porch.

awfulsentimetal: (to speak)

Whoops.

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2013-06-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
It had been an eventful night, between shoving his big metal foot in his mouth and having several irate people come around to help him pull it back out again. All of them had been right, and after a particularly harrowing discussion while Miss Bunny was elbow-deep in his internals the old self-loathing and stubbornness that had made him resistant had crumbled.

...Unfortunately, by then, it was far too late. He would not--could not--wake Brianna just to have a conversation that might not go as well as he hoped it would.

He had found a chair and set it right beside B's bed, watching her silently for a little while before tugging down the brim of his fedora to shade his photo-receptors. He tucked his long legs in close to the legs of the chair so as not to trip anyone and slipped into stasis.

It wasn't long after that he was pulled out of it by the sensation of something climbing up his pants leg. He watched the tiny kitten with curiosity, noting the markings and the pink collar around its neck and smiling faintly. At least one of him had gotten something right. With the kitten curled up in his lap, presumably enjoying the warmth of his boiler, he had gone back to sleep.

Morning found The Spine and The Stripe still there, one powered down and the other purring up a storm.
awfulsentimetal: (I'd be gentle)

WHAT WHERE?! ...oh.

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2013-06-07 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Someone--or something--was shaking him. That was the first thing his sensors told him as he came back online, his photo-receptors flickering from black to green. The familiar hum and hiss of his systems warming up filled the air and he stiffly lifted an arm to push his fedora back.

Green glow met red-rimmed green eyes and, for once without consciously thinking about it, The Spine did a very human thing. He opened his mouth and completely forgot the apology he'd prepared the night before, instead emitting a stuttering hiss of steam and staring at B slack-jawed.

It was the smile that did it, really. It was so far from what he'd expected, so heart-wrenchingly (if he'd had a heart) sweet, that he was rendered speechless for a long moment.

...Then he recalled why he was there. "Bri-a-a-anna-anna, I, uh..." He gently scooped up The Stripe and offered the kitten to her, already getting to his feet. What a time for a vocal glitch.

But he wasn't retreating. The Spine lowered himself to one knee with a hiss of hydraulics and click of gears so that he could look up at her earnestly. "I'm sorry. I was a dummins and let my voice box run off without the rest of me."

[As shy as he was in comparison to his older counterparts, it was no surprise that it took some time for him to approach Brianna outside their usual daily interactions.

But finally he'd gotten up the nerve, and once he'd seen the other Walter Girls head out of the shared room, there was a soft knocking at the door.]

[personal profile] dayafteryesterday 2013-06-24 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
With how hectic things could be in the house, let alone the Walter Girl bedroom, Bunny often times took moments to herself to slip out into the backyard. It was such a time then, a notebook of sorts tucked under and arm as a pencil rested just behind her ear. The mime settled herself beneath a tree, near the patch of singing flowers, giving them a look over as they hummed some tune or another.

The corner of black lips quirked into something of a smile as she opened the notebook, pencil in hand, and begain sketching some sort of whimsical version of the flowers.

It wasn't long untill she heard a few curious quacks, glancing up only for a moment to spot the ducks before returning to her little project of sorts. It wasn't just the flowers that would be making it onto paper.

Missing ducklings?

Oh no, not on mama Rabbit's watch.

So with a bit of a mechanical grumble under his not!breath, the automaton was clanking and clattering around the Walter home, calling out obnoxiously loud for his feathered children, making a show of bursting into everyone's room unannounced just to peek under their beds and rummage through their closets.

Of course by the time he finished looking around the workshop, the 'bot had started to become just the slightest bit concerned. Little TomatoSoup was a bit more fragile than his brothers, so runty and small, what would happen to the little guy if he lost his siblings and couldn't make his way back alone?

But a quick peek outside--the back yard, his final destination for duckling hide-n-seek--was quick to relieve those growing concerns.

Some noisy steps closer to the woman, just curiously counting the number of ducklings that had settled around her, Rabbit making certain that none were missing.

mybackstory: (Pieces of mind)

ANYTIME

[personal profile] mybackstory 2013-07-01 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
The Spine had made the time to catch Brianna just before dinner, asking if the young woman wouldn't mind making time to accompany him on a walk after dinner--

When he came to get her there was a canvas bag hanging by a strap over his shoulder. There were a few things he wanted to take with them, after all, and it was easier to deal with than a basket; even if he'd had to do some digging to actually find one to use. There was only the slightest hesitation before he knocked on the door lightly.

"Brianna?"

OH BABY

malfunctionbot: (That'll be the Way Home)

[personal profile] malfunctionbot 2013-07-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
The door to Rabbit and Alyss' bedroom must have been left open accidentally because there was a handful of tiny ducklings gathered around at the bottom of the Walter Home stairs, all huddled together into a fluffy, yellow pile, crying out with panicked, shrill quacks for their copper mama to come and rescue them.

Considering how protective the automaton had become of his feathery children, Rabbit couldn't be too far off within the house, likely going to return any moment, but that didn't quiet down any of those tiny duckling cries.

[personal profile] tomorrowsyesterday 2013-07-09 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't any surprise when those plaintive cries attracted attention, Paige poking her head out of the kitchen to see what was going on, confusion softening a bit as she saw that little huddle of yellow fluff.

"Aww sweeties..." She cooed, coming out towards the stairs, though stopping a short distance back to get down on her knees so she wouldn't scare the baby ducklings, reaching out with a pale hand to stroke downy backs and heads.

"How did you get down here?" If they seemed calm enough with her presence? They'd be gathered up, deposited in the front of Paige's skirt as she pulled the edge out so it made a sort of nest. And no she would deny that while she was leaning down to study them that she was quacking back at them.

awfulsentimetal: (and yet I'm torn apart)

MUDSLINGING [for real this time]

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2013-07-21 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
True, the Walter Girl's shove didn't so much as cause the automaton to sway, not even slightly, but it wasn't without its effect. The Spine broke into a wide grin and a rich, unrestrained laugh slipped from his voicebox. The slim, delicate fingers that twined with his were given an infinitely gentle squeeze.

There was no question of whether he would follow her. She had him by the heart, after all.

"I, uh, suppose we'll be seein' you later, Miss Paige." Was that lopsided grin still in place as he gave her a polite nod in farewell? You bet it was.

It hadn't budged an inch when he and Brianna stepped out of the sunshine and into the house, either. It was hard not to smile when she was around, mud or no mud.

Can you see what I see? [Boarding House]

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2013-08-07 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a quiet day, or at least, this particular room was quiet, the other Walter Girls out and (presumably) helping to keep the more easily distracted automatons occupied. At least, he hoped so. He'd heard stories about the boarding house burning itself to the ground in a fit of pique. It would be just their luck to have one house burn only to have the next come right down around their ears.

He wasn't thinking about it. Nope. Definitely not. Instead, The Spine was carefully perched on the edge of Brianna's bed and teasing The Stripe with a bit of string he'd tucked into his pocket for that exact purpose. As much as he might grumble about cat hair (particularly back home, where said cat hair was both extremely long and rather thick), the kitten was growing on him. That was definitely a smile on his face when The Stripe pounced on the twitching end of the string.

awfulsentimetal: (jealousy)

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2015-03-07 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
A light knock preceded The Spine's head appearing around the doorjamb as he leaned to look into the room. If the door had been closed, he wouldn't have dared to be so bold, but since it was open...

She was there. His system thrummed and a pleasant spark darted down his wires, and yet a part of his programming was causing his core to feel as though it were plummeting. It had been months since he'd last seen her; he'd fallen through a crack in this world and landed back in his own, where time had continued to march onward.

However awkward that march might have been.

"Hey, Miss B--Brianna, are you busy?"

He winced at the mistake. He'd had to train himself to call her Brianna, here, and then train himself back out of it back home. The first time he'd called her by her first name there, she'd looked at him so oddly he'd wanted the floor to swallow him up. It didn't oblige. Not until months later, when he stepped backstage and found himself in Nusquamton. It had been days before he'd worked up the nerve to find the Walters again. Another two before he'd decided he was being a big darn fool, avoiding B.

And now he was at her door, wondering if everything had changed too much to pick up again where they'd left off.

mybackstory: (Angst angst angst)

[personal profile] mybackstory 2015-04-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
It had taken a moment of five before Spine had worked up enough nerve to lightly rap metal knuckles against the door, rocking back slightly on his heels after. Standing a little awkwardly outside of B's room, early as it was in the evning it was still early enough that he wanted to wait for either her coming to the door or saying he could come in. Eitherway however little the time might have been there was a slightly heavy feeling in his boiler.

Mostly due to a few lingering memories of that early morning and the events of it, lips pressed into a firm line. Waiting.

awfulsentimetal: (bought a pickle)

take 2

[personal profile] awfulsentimetal 2015-11-30 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[There is good news and there is bad news. First, the good news: the sounds of a torch-bearing mob chasing the sky sharks from the city follow The Spine and Brianna as they make good their escape. People, confused, scared, and ornery, mill about the streets, as they usually do when there's a crisis and no one quite knows what they should be doing. They part for the tall automaton with minimal prodding, by and large ignoring the odd pair.

It's a new experience for The Spine. The last time he'd been in Nusquamton the locals had still been mildly hostile towards the Walters. Perhaps some of them still are, and they are only distracted by the obvious (real) threat.

Who knows. He isn't about to stop and ask.

It isn't until they arrive at the boarding house that the bad news makes itself known. The Spine hangs back, waiting for Brianna to clear the steps before following. He twists to look back over his shoulder, giving the sky one last wary search, and something in his knee goes ping. Whatever small piece was damaged in his fall has finally given up the ghost.

He sets his mouth in a grim line and makes for the steps, his system clamoring about the stress being placed on the weakened limb, each swing of his knee accompanied by a godawful grinding noise.

... well. So much for getting out of that whole ordeal unscathed.
