Video Upload + Video + Possible Action. un: p.parker (guest starring Pam)
[ >> VIDEOS SUCCESSFULLY UPLOADED TO NETWORK.
PAM — TEST VIDEO ONE
There is a sooort of human-y shaped... robot... in the screen? No, well, it has an apron on. That's literally the only remotely human-y thing about it, with it's multiple arms and little cute wheels and the pans and interesting funnels and — oh, that's a spatula in one hand! Cool. Peter has adjusted the camera feed to record it, clapping his hands together and backing away in the screen. He's got a dope shirt on and his signature hoodie and cuffed pants, and he's ready to LIGHT SHIT UP.
"Okay, here it goes — Hey Pam?"
"Yes, Petey Parker?"
"Wait, wait, I said Peter, Peter is the — did I screw up the voice recogn—"
The video stops for a second.
"Hey Pam?"
"Yes, Sweety Parker?"
"Oh my god no no no, Peter, it's—"
The video stops for a second.
"Hey Pam, can you make some pancakes?"
"Of course, Sweety Parker," she says, and then whirs to life. Peter has apparently given up on trying to make her get the name right, but that's — you know, that can be fixed later. Batter from the fixture on her back moves through a tube and into a funnel and — proceeds to overfill the pan underneath it, getting batter all over the kitchen stove.
"Oh crap!"
PAM — TEST VIDEO TWO
"Hey Pam, can you make some pancakes?"
She gets through the batter funneling thing okay, but then when it's time to FLIP the pancake, it ends up flying up and sticking to the ceiling. Peter stares up with a slack jaw for a moment, and then rubs his face with a groan. Don't worry, he'll crawl up the wall to get that off, but only when the video's off and nobody's around. Cool.
PAM — TEST VIDEO FIVE
This time will be different! Pamela's been fitted with a new arm, and the idea is she flips the pancake from one pan to the other, so both sides can be heated. Peter is much more covered in flour and pancake mix than the last few failures. The only problem is that the piston is too overpowered the first time, so when she flips the pancake onto the other pan, the two pans just VIOLENTLY SMASH TOGETHER AND THE WHOLE ARM COMES OFF.
"Oh my god Pam, are you oka—"
"The pancakes are complete—"
PAM — TEST VIDEO SEVEN
The pancake is thrown unceremoniously at Peter's head.
PAM — TEST VIDEO NINE
Peter hides behind a table he has flipped over for protection. Pamela starts speed-making pancakes. There are too many pancakes. TOO MANY PANCAKES OH MY GOD THEY'RE FLYING NOW—Also note to self, Pam's ability to process the human language is way worse than Siri, because 'Stop making pancakes" apparently sounds like "Top the pancakes", so she shoots blueberries into the mix from the secondary container on her back. It's terrible. But Peter does eat the berries off the counter.
PAM — TEST VIDEO TEN
Pam wheels around in a circle to move towards Peter at the table.
"The pancakes are complete."
Her wheel gets caught on something and she topples completely over, sending pancakes flopping across the surface of the table. Peter winces, looking over the edge and at the fallen machine.
"... Thanks, Pam."
From the floor: "You're welcome, Sweety."]
[Live VIDEO.]

[Peter sits at the table, red in the face with his hands on his temples.]
... That supposed to be a video invitation thing about Bad Movie Night.
Those're — um. Just. Ignore those. Those're just a, a thing for robotics, um. I'm just ironing out the kinks with the AI programming and the... anyway. Since things have been so stressful lately in Riverview, I thought maybe... you guys would like to rent out a school room and watch awful movies next weekend? Just let me know if you wanna hang out there with us, I'm kinda just leaving it an open invitation kind of deal.
I've got Plan 9 From Outer Space? And Birdemic. And you can bring whatever bad movies you want, too. No pressure, though. I've never really done one of these, I usually just watch them with my friend back home, but I figure... spread the love, right? Because man, we can all just take a little break—
[There's something whirring to life off-screen. "Processing command...! Yes, Sweety Parker, I will make the pancakes."
VrOOM SHE'S WHEELING OFF IN THE BACKGROUND, and Peter nearly knocks his chair over to follow her. He slaps for the network device, mostly-offscreen.]
Nononono, Pam, I didn't say—
[End feed.]
((OOC: Action for Communal Kitchen Floor 2 is also totally fine, if you wanna drop in on Pam and Peter, maybe try to get some free pancakes.
Bad movie night might have a log this Saturday, so stay tuned for that possibility.))

Video;
... She might be a little unsteady. I should, um.
Probably figure out better collision sensors.
[She's bumping into the counter now and then, in the background.]
Video;
It looks like it isn't just collision sensors that might need re-calibrating. [It looks like all of her sensors are a little off.] What system are you using to control her?
Video;
[He's just making sure, because it's quite an answer.]
Video;
Do you want me to laugh?
[She had laughed before reaching out to him. Once they know each other better, then she'll laugh to his face.]
Video;
... She's recycled out of stuff I got out of the dumpster?
I'm just... taking apart old operating systems from busted stuff and reprogramming it to match an iPhone's basic NLUI... I haven't really found any decent sensors yet to limit her bumping into everything.
[Is he flustered? Yes. Definitely.
Stupid videos.]
Video;
I've been here for a little while. I got some materials I could give you that'd help integrate the system smoothly and I have some sensors I can part with.
[She can always collect more materials and there is only one project that she's currently prioritizing.]
It'd be nice to have a robot that can make pancakes.
[It's a good use of materials.]
Video; 1/2
You do?
Video;
I'd like that, I mean! Yes! I'd have to pay for them some... other time, if that's okay, since I'm kind of dead broke right now. But I can definitely pay for them. How much would they cost?
[He just sort of skimmed over the 'giving' part, bless.
Free tech that isn't from the dumpster???? Madness.]
Video;
No cost.
[A pause.]
Maybe some pancakes.
Video;
I can definitely pay up in hotcakes, yeah. Maybe Pam can broaden her horizons in the future, too. I dunno. Scrambled eggs?
...
I'm Peter! By the way. Peter Parker. That's probably important to know.
Video;
That's a delicious proposition.
[Not that Shuri is a bad cook but cooking really isn't something she spends a lot of time doing. Most days she'll grab something on the go or skip random meals while trapped in the thrall of another project.]
Hi Peter. I'm Shuri.
[She actually knows his name because she went ahead and looked up his friendr.]
Video;
Anyway. That was a pointless observation. More importantly:]
Hey, Shuri, awesome to meet you.
So I guess you're, like... the resident techie? Mr. Stark's usually the lab I crash, but I figured there's more of us out there. Not that I'm any good at robotics or anything outside of physics and chem, but I'm working on it.
Video;
[She can't help but smile at the name.]
I've worked in his lab here once since I arrived here but I'm working on getting my own lab together. I was the head of research and development in my country of Wakanda. I wouldn't feel right crowded Mr.Stark's labs.
[Shuri's used to being self sufficient though she'll most likely ask Tony for different pieces of technology if there is something that he has that she doesn't have.]
Video;
Then you're crazy smart. Pam is gonna get a glow up for sure.
... And that's really cool, that you're setting up a lab, because I wouldn't know the first thing about it. I'm not exactly from... [He shrugs, head swaying a little indecisively on the word to use.] I guess the dumpster diving speaks for itself. But...! I did alright in my school's robotics club!
[Before I dropped out to be a hero guy. Oops.]
Video;
Compliments are really nice.]
Once I get things set up, you're welcome to come by and work with me. I have a few projects where I could use a creative mind like yours. [After all, who'd think of a robot making pancakes! That's genius!]
And let me know when you're free. I'll stop by with the sensors I have.
Video;
Oh, I'm about to go — back to my part-time job, and I'm not usually back 'til late. But tomorrow for sure, if you want? I can clear time whenever in the day.
Video;
[Shuri hasn't bothered to get a job, being a little to focused on starting up her own lab.]
Video; >> THE NEXT DAAAY
He pops back up on the feed the next day, looking chipper and sporting a black eye.
Bless.]
Hey, Shuri! It's Peter. Parker. That Peter. I'm at the community housing if you wanna stop by.
[He even made his bed and cleaned up his desk. It may or may not have had change, action figures, and candy littering the top of it? Don't worry about it, it's all been shoved into a drawer, okay.]
Video; >> THE NEXT DAAAY
Which floor and-
[She pauses to see if she can phrase it delicately before giving up.]
Who punched you in the face?
Video;
Pam has a really good right hook. That's what I need your smart brain for, huh? To get these sensors working well enough that she doesn't turn into a star boxer.
[He crinkles his nose, smiling innocently.]
And I'm, I'm on the second floor.
Video;
I'm on Floor 8.
[She doesn't really believe him about the black eye, it doesn't look like the right shape but she'll wait and check it out when she gets there. Maybe she can get him to duplicate the scenario during the explanation so she can record it.]
I'll be right down.
Video;
Roger that! Take your time, I'm not in any rush.
>> ACTION
She takes the elevator, only to prevent her bag from jostling too much.]
Hello? Peter?
[Shuri calls out as she steps into the common area of the floor.]
>> ACTION
H-hey! Thanks for, for coming to help.
[Okay he could use some work on the not-stammering-over-words bit. But this is also a pretty smart girl looking at his half-ass pancake robot that he accidentally broadcasted to all of Riverview, so maybe cut him some slack.]
>> ACTION
Of course. [She replies with her usual confident manner.] We wouldn't want your eye to keep suffering at the hands of Pam. [Her voice is light and teasing.
Dark eyes quickly glance around the room to find a surface that doesn't belong to someone but it looks like everything is in use. Given that it's ten people on one floor, she isn't all that surprised.] Where should I lay things out? I brought a few options. I wasn't sure if you had a preference. [Quarantines' technology varies and Shuri has a few different options she's collected.]
