00:05	bananaman	Wilt
00:05	bananaman	you know how you said runs should be in a specific universe
00:05	bananaman	n shit
00:05	Mr_Wilt	word
00:05	Mr_Wilt	respond to me in frooc
00:05	Mr_Wilt	first
00:12	Mr_Wilt	bananaman: okay
00:12	Mr_Wilt	go on
00:12	Mr_Wilt	what's up
00:14	bananaman	Okay
00:14	bananaman	So I was thinking on that one run I have approved
00:14	bananaman	with robot andrew jackson
00:15	bananaman	So the run is in this fascimile of washington dc in 1812 with history kinda wonky and very exaggerated historical stuff
00:16	bananaman	So what if these are like, little brass windups for different history periods that are really just in some alternate dimension study
00:16	Mr_Wilt	First off, I'm glad you're understanding what I'm saying
00:17	Mr_Wilt	You're trying to justify it so it's not silly random robots with no creators or reason
00:17	Mr_Wilt	that is good
00:17	Mr_Wilt	My concern is how you're going to convey that it's that
00:18	bananaman	I was gonna have the sky black with looming figures that are never acknowledged by the in-run people
00:18	bananaman	ike, just huge ass blurs in the sky nobody notices but the poolboys
00:18	bananaman	hinting at something bigger than the robots
00:19	bananaman	that the robots are not big deal
00:19	bananaman	and have all the robots windup, like timepieces
00:19	bananaman	and at the end of the run
00:19	bananaman	it all shudders
00:19	bananaman	and resets after they leave
00:20	Mr_Wilt	Hmmm...
00:20	Mr_Wilt	Can I make some suggestions, if it wouldn't offend?
00:21	bananaman	I'm open to anything
00:22	Mr_Wilt	Firstly, one of the Poolboys is going to ask one of the robots about the people in the sky
00:22	Mr_Wilt	it's unavoidable
00:22	Mr_Wilt	Rather than have them act oblivious or disregard it,
00:23	Mr_Wilt	have them act oblivious until the scene moves on, and then have one of the robots say "Pssst, shut up! They're watching!" or something like that
00:23	bananaman	Ooh yeah
00:23	Mr_Wilt	and immediately after be like 'HOHO CITIZEN I KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SPEAK OF"
00:24	Mr_Wilt	Second, and I'm not sure if this is too silly or not, but
00:24	Mr_Wilt	Maybe make it so that one of the soldiers has to be rewound?
00:24	Mr_Wilt	Or maybe like something falls in from the sky that is obviously out of place
00:25	Mr_Wilt	Not overtly comedic like a giant chip, but
00:25	bananaman	Or something that has fallen out of the sky
00:25	bananaman	and is now just embedded in the ground
00:25	Mr_Wilt	Oh!
00:25	Mr_Wilt	Maybe make it so that a crucial building they go to or meet up at is destroyed by something that fell from the sky
00:25		*** Dexanote quit (Quit: night)
00:25	Mr_Wilt	And the robots act like it's still there
00:25	bananaman	hah, yesss
00:26	Mr_Wilt	Or make convient excuses as to why they can't go into the building
00:26	Mr_Wilt	"Jackson! Fetch the guns from inside!"
00:26	Mr_Wilt	"Oh, no, Washington! It's locked! But there's some guns down the street!"
00:26	Mr_Wilt	"Oh, how brilliant!"
00:26	Mr_Wilt	But make it seem like they're all nervous or obviously forcing the adlib
00:26	bananaman	It's not Jackson and Washington, it's jackson and madison
00:26	Mr_Wilt	Nervous shifty eyes
