[Vatheon has been awfully quiet lately... almost too quiet. But don't worry! A familiar Amarcian technician is going to pop onto the screen of everyone's SFCs with an announcement in 3... 2... 1—]

ɪᴛ's ғɪɴɪsʜᴇᴅ!
[Once the mass of confetti clears, the screen immediately shifts to a miniature doll not dissimilar to the mini-Sophie plush attachment – except for the fact that it seems to resemble a familiar hero and is more mechanical in nature. In fact, it even comes complete with a robotic voice bank that occasionally spouts out, "I'll protect you!" every so often.]

Perfect, huh?

[Indeed, Pascal looks proud of her accomplishment. Having been touched by Sophie's strong feelings of friendship, she had locked herself away in her makeshift laboratory for the past month – and became oblivious to practically everything else around her during that time, but y’know, details – to do research in an effort to ~~go out the butt~~ find a way to leave and/or find a way to bring the rest of their group to the bubble. Seeing how Sophie and Cheria have been affected by their situation, Pascal feels like she has to do something, after all. Besides, she misses Asbel and the rest, too! In fact, in the background (if one can even make it out due to the mess) are a couple of other prototypes of robotic dolls of people that the Graces' house will be familiar with...]

It's not exactly Asbel [needless to say, an undertaking such as finding the one answer no one in Vatheon seems to know is stumping Pascal, too. But hey! She at least came up with an alternate solution], but maybe we can take this to the Lamufao and ask it to bring him to us!

[And with that, she begins to gather her things for a trip to the central plaza while ~~conveniently~~ completely ignoring the fact that she hasn't taken a bath in several days. That distinct foul odor? y u p, definitely her. But hey, for science, right?]

((OOC: First post is reserved for Asbel only. Afterwards, go crazy!!))

...Pascal, I've been here for a week.

[Was that a robot version of him?]

Oh hey Asbel, I was just about to–

[wait.]

Whoa, you're here already? [She beams.] Am I totally awesome or what?

Pascal!

[ SHE'S BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU, YOUNG LAD-- well, nevermind that you're actually older than she is. She's grumping into the video feed either way. ]

I can smell you from all the way over here!

Really? [A shrug.] I don't smell anything.

[Cue subject change!]

So whaddya think? Totally looks just like Asbel, huh?

Oh, of course you don't. You're in the middle of the mess. Un-believeable ... [ grumble grumble grumble, something that sounds like 'where's a bucket when you need it' ...

Oh, hey, subject change! She'll get back on plotting to dump a bucket of warm, soapy water on you later. ]

Actually, he ... kind of does. Just a little! Not too much.

[Good, good. She's off the hook now!]

Aw c'mon, what's so off about him?

[Taking a step back, Pascal rests her chin on her hand and stares at the robot in deep thought. Maybe Cheria has a point after all...]

Do I need to add this or a little bit of that? Oh! Maybe if I just add this...

[... and she's absorbed into her work once again.]

... Somehow, I'm going to suspect that this Asbel does not look like that.

Just saying.

Of course not – that'd be super weird! I mean, the real Asbel doesn't have any mechanical parts or whatever... at least, I don't think so. [Cheria did say that he had a few screws loose once, after all.] But aesthetically, the resemblance is so totally there! I bet even Little Bro will have to do a double-take when he sees this!

... So you're claiming a head several times normal human size on a dwarf-like body?

Yeah, isn't it awesome?

I thought the point was to make it look like your friend?

I know right! I did a pretty great job if I do say so myself.

[Not missing the point at all, nope.]

... Uuuuuh-huh.

...Why would you make a robot of someone?

[That's what he wants to know.]

So that Lamufao will glubbyglub our friend here.

[It's elementary, really.]

What does glubbyglub even mean?

Oh you know, it's kinda like zippyzap except more watery and stuff.

...And what does zippyzap mean?

[NONE OF THIS IS MAKING SENSE.]

How we got here, of course.

[Makes perfect sense to her, yup.]
