video/text; @falcon: the first memorial tony stark (616) and wanda maximoff mousting tournament
video; open
[The video takes place in a living room, with all the furniture pushed up against the walls to leave a wide open space in the middle of the room. A circle about six feet wide is marked off with blue painters' tape, and a number of small mice in eclectic homemade clothing are clustered around different spots outside the circle and cheering, waving small banners, flags, and other miscellany in either red or blue. Although the cheers are indistinct, it's clear that it's actual language, rather than simple mouse squeaking.
In the center of the circle, two roombas hum and maneuver around each other. Each vacuum has four balloons in either red or blue, and knives are duct-taped to the front of them. In addition, there's a small team of mice clad in their respective colors on each roomba. Somehow, they're steering them, although it's not completely evident how.
As the video goes on, the roombas pop their balloons - red starts out with a clear advantage, taking out two balloons in quick succession, but blue manages to stave them off for a time, long enough to catch up. Blue pulls ahead, followed by a tie, but ultimately, red succeeds in eliminating their competition's balloons first. Somehow, all of this is done without injury to the mice, although there are a few close calls, and occasionally competition will pause to switch new riders in.
At the end, the gleeful red fans swarm in and present their winning team with an assortment of cookies, cheese, and crackers, a few young mice mopping sweat from spiked fur with small towels.]

Anyone want a splinter colony of mice? Seriously, I've got, like, fifty of them, and I need to get rid of a few. They'll be happy to find new homes, I promise. They're well-behaved, you just have to remind them of the rules sometimes, and you can always bribe them with food. They just want to have people to hang around and worship, so, uh, you'll find them singing songs about you and having weird rituals and festivals about minor things in your life, but they're cute little bastards.
Also, if anyone's looking for a place to live, let me know. Or if you want to help me cook brunch on Sundays, because man, I can't cook food for everyone who shows up by myself.
[ooc: In case anyone's curious, this happens to be a colony of Aeslin mice from Seanan McGuire's Incryptid books.]

...Why would mice starting riding on a robot that looks so much like a mouse droid? Do they...actually stop after a while?
no subject
I don't think they know what a mouse droid is, for one thing. The only droid I've ever met is BB-8. These just kinda vacuum, they aren't actually intelligent.
They stop, though. Usually when the roombas run out of power and have to charge.
no subject
Well, those things look like mouse droids, except a different shape. I'm not sure of the exact capabilities of a mouse droid, but they look similar to that.
Oh? I hope the meeting between you and BB-8 was a good one.
...So do you come back to see those things fight on a constant bases?
no subject
BB-8 is a cute little guy. Can't understand a word he says, but I think we get along.
Oh, this is my house. The mice live here, too; they were my roommate's, and now they're mine. Although they're sentient creatures, so they aren't really anyone's, I guess. They usually just ride the roombas; the jousting is new.
no subject
If he doesn't shock or stun you, then you're getting along just fine. Learning binary isn't too hard. I could recommend a book to you, if you want to be able to understand him without Poe or having BB-8 text you.
Then you are roommates with those creatures? I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly--and to keep an eye out for any other creatures that suddenly decide to start this 'jousting' thing.
