Day in the Life: Roger Roger [#1] - By-Tor - 2025-02-13
Roger Roger powers on, calculating that this is the first day of the rest of his existence. Change is in the air. Roger looks left and right, scanning the room that he occupies as if it were a prison. Unfurnished except for a table in one corner and the battery pack wires hooked to his frame, nothing reminds him of his barracks. His blaster is missing and Roger has some remembrance of a reprogramming. Oh no. Has his existence centered around warfare been extinguished? Has he been neutered of his ability to attack his foes? Roger Roger unhooks the wires tehtering him to his post and marches to the grates seperating him from, the rest of the abode.
While taking in his surroundings further, a door opens outside his cage and in walks a humanoid man with a stick, no, a cane. The man walks with a limp. A weakness? The fuzzy recollection of the previous day flashes through his memory circuits: a battle, being trapped, being abandoned. Captured by the enemy and forced to play as sport. Roger Roger remembers.
"What are you doing you damn droid?" says the man. "I thought I hooked you up to charge for the games later. We need a win, I need me some more moneys for the party tonight."
"Can it, Remy." says another man in the corner that Roger did not identify. "We got an ace in the hole here. No need to worry."
"Says you, Winston. But remember how much we could do with a little more pick me up!" responds the unruly sidekick hobbling towards the door with his cane.
"We'll be fine. Just give me some time."
Roger Roger watches the interaction intently. Never before has he seen an interaction like this up close. His only existence has been droids and droid behavior. All he knows is attack.
The man from the corner gets up and walks over to Roger. The man is tall, but not as tall as Roger. He looks Roger dead in the eye sensors and says, "so what do you think, skinny, you wanna make some money?"
