Kinda wanna build another pet.

Kinda also on zero sleep in the last two days and have been playing a lot of resident evil so I need someone to convince me to not make a dog that looks like the zombie dogs.

Do not make a robot that looks like the zombie dogs. It would freak out the cats, and we already have a real dog.

...

Make the mutant alligator, you coward.

...can I make it life-size? can you imagine a life-size mutant alligator robot wandering around outside?

[n5]

I can imagine the screams of your siblings once they see it. Maybe you don't need to make it that big.

Why haven't you been sleeping? Because of the game, or do you had insomnia? [ He knows a lot about sleepless nights. ]

[the_arachnid]

Bad insomnia. Nothing so thrilling as being terrified of a video game.

What about a small pack of mutant alligators? Like...three of them?

[n5]

I know how annoying that can be. I'm guessing meds or natural remedies don't help since you have a fast metabolism?

Cute. And deadly too. Can you actually make sure they won't try to hurt the pets? [ He says nothing of his siblings because they can all defend themselves. ]

[the_arachnid]

I'd have just as much luck if I were popping Smarties or Reeses Pieces.

I'll program with the usual facial recognition.

[n5]

Tsk. A bit drastic but have you tried asking Luther to knock you unconscious?

That works with cats and dogs too?

[the_arachnid]

It's under consideration at this point.

I've programmed Pixie and Evie's dragons with the same coding. They already know not to bother the living pet.

[n5]

The insomnia is that bad, uh? Maybe we should try the opposite. Relaxing baths, soothing music...that kind of things we never pay attention to.

...

Dragons?

[ When did they get dragons!???? He missed this. He remember that Peter made Grace's robot cat but not the dragons. ]

[the_arachnid]

I made Evie a robotic dragon about the size of a small dog. His name is Elliot. He has bigger siblings, Drogon and Dany.

None of them breathe fire, before you ask.

[n5]

Of course the dragon is named, Elliot. [ He got that reference! The Got ones, not so much. ]

How many robotic creatures do we have in the mansion right now? Not counting the future 3 possible mutant alligators.

[the_arachnid]

Elliot, Dany, Drogon and moms cat, Pixie.

[n5]

That's quite the group.

I remember most things but my memories are sometimes more foggy or slow to come back. [ And it frustrates him to no end. ]

[the_arachnid]

To be fair, it’s not like a shitload hasn’t been happening just in the last few months. There’s stuff even in fuzzy on.

[n5]

Sounds like it. Give me and update, I don't missing important things.

[ he's usually the one who knows stuff, not the other way around. ]

[ghostphone]

Plz, Peter, no zombies...

[He's so tired of dead things, man...]

[the_arachnid]

No zombies. What are your thoughts on mini mutant alligators?

[ghostphone]

How mini?
Are they gonna be mean?

[the_arachnid]

Same size as a cat.

Not unless we need them to be.

[ghostphone]

in that case, i think they sound pretty cool tbh

[the_arachnid]

Do you want your own personal mutant-gator-robot?

[ghostphone]

can i call him chomper?

[the_arachnid]

I approve.

[oldmanfive]

Yeah, that's a hard no on the zombie dogs. My cats will thank you not to go there.

Maybe try a more mind numbing game to see if that helps relax you. One of those ones that has a soothing soundtrack to lull you to sleep?

[the_arachnid]

Poked at Strange Horticulture for about an hour, but that's too many puzzles and now my brain is far more active than is acceptable.

[oldmanfive]

What about tetris or mahjong? Or those too stimulating? Otherwise maybe just listen to soothing music or get one of those white noise machines to see if that helps calm you down.

Joining the fray here!

[rumorvsreality]

I really don't want Claire to see zombie dogs running around when she visits. Please and thank you. I can deal with robot dragons and even Mom's robot cat. Claire thinks they are fantastic. So if you are going to build more robots pets stick to the cute and/or cool stuff please.

Re: Joining the fray here!

[the_arachnid]

What about a robot chameleon? Specifically for my niece who is flawless and can do no wrong ever.

[rumorvsreality]

That sounds much cooler for a kid. She'll likely love it. She already thinks Pixie and the dragons are the coolest. So you got a fan in her.

[the_arachnid]

Well good. Its my job as one of her uncles to spoil her and keep her smiling.

Give me a couple weeks. She will have her chameleon. Ooh! Compete with a tree to recharge on like Pixie has her cat castle.

[rumorvsreality]

You do a pretty good job of spoiling her. I can tell you are vying for the number one slot there.

That sounds really cute actually. I only worry that she'll want to take it back to her dad's place and he won't be on board with that. So I'm counting you to help me convince her that letting it stay with us is for the best.
