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.))

>> 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.]
>> ACTION
Definitely, we should fix that.
If you want, we can set it up on the kitchen table. This floor's a lot emptier than other ones, and everyone's out for a while, I think. So we shouldn't have too many problems. Oh— [He moves to dig into his dresser, pulling out a plastic liquor store bag.] I got some candy, if you want some.
[Just a ton of those 2 for 99 cent bags. He didn't even have to pay for them! He just helped out the store owner a couple weeks back after an alien drunkenly sprayed acid everywhere outside. Long story.]
>> ACTION
Here. I also brought this control board. I've been working on some new software and this is the prototype. If you use it I'd like to know where the bugs are for the next model. [She's been recreating a lot of the programs she'd written or used in Wakanda from scratch and it is a tedious process.
She mentions a few more things, pulls out a few more pieces of equipment he might be able to use before realizing he said the word candy.]
What kind of candy?
>> ACTION
[Look at this nerd, oogling the little thing with squinty eyes.]
The one she's using now is pretty bulky, and the powering method's kind of old—!
>> ACTION
It takes a long time but there is a store that sells the parts. [From there its just putting it back together.] What sort of power source are you using?
[She doesn't have a replacement for that but she might know where Peter can get something better that won't break the bank.]
>> ACTION
I re-used a 12V SLA Battery that someone had used for a modified electric bicycle — um, from robotics club, that is. It's not the best choice and it's gotta be recharged more than I'd like, but it keeps up pretty well with Pam's kind of output.
[He cranes his head 'til he's practically an archway, pointing at the battery rigged low on the robot.]
It also helps to keep all the weight low, so she's not so top heavy she'll fall over.
... A-as often, anyway. As long as the wheels actually work.
