no. ollie's voice is rich and smooth and attractive for someone his age. he once seduced a man while gaming through the voice chat.
Ollie stared at Abel for a couple seconds and Abel stayed back and when neither of them moved, Ollie relented and sighed and wandered back towards Father. "Never mind. Let motherfuckers be motherfuckers." "I'm not a motherfucker."
Raoul arched his eyebrows and looked away, laughing airily. "... Yeah, Canada. I don't know enough about, uh, Missouri to figure out what gave you that vibe." The big fake probably hadn't ever heard of Missouri, honestly. But he wasn't gonna admit that right now. "Oh yeah? What are you usually like? Are you still always this cute?"
Ollie turned his head in their direction sharply. Raoul met his eyes and pressed his lips together and Ollie let out an incredulous laugh. "Holy shit."
"No. I'm not an idiot. You have to keep it secret." Basil paused and pivoted to look at the Cheetos. "Oh shit, pass those over here right now! Wanna find out if I'm built with the ability to get food poisoning?"

WEEE WOOO WEEE WOOO... ITS THE WEAK REPLY ALARM
"...Wow." Father was... somewhat bewildered by that little exchange, but wouldn't comment any further for the sake of politeness.
'Me neither, really. Maybe it's just a gut feeling? I wouldn't k' Graphite stopped writing entirely when she was called cute, covering her face. I'd think so. I'd hope so. Honestly forget that one joke about her not having the blood needed to blush she's definitely bright fucking red rn. You really think so? if this ship was a boat it would be the private yacht that literally every rich person must have, no exceptions
Father fell completely silent, propping his head up on both hands and giving his full attention to the two. Though it was impossible to tell his expression beneath the veil, one could practically feel the mixture of delight and vague resentment emanating off of him. (he's probably already planning out raoul's first shovel talk, rip. They Grow Up So Fast)
"My lips are sealed." Charcoal did the little lip-zippy thing before giving Basil a confounded look. "That's crazy, but whatever you say. Enjoy your... twelve-year-old Cheetos..?" She tossed the Cheetos bag towards Basil, her own expression unchanging.

father: a sophisticated gentleman hermit living with his robot children named after minerals ollie: shitty meme hermit who calls his eldest son motherfucker and makes fun of him for having no friends
Raoul beamed and nodded. "You're, like, the cutest person I've ever met. And that's not just because I pretty much live in the lab, because I've talked to over 70 different people and I watch TV and stuff which is like a lot more." "Cutest person second to you, Raoul!" Ollie called, cupping his hands around his mouth. Raoul snorted and put a hand to his face, then finger-gunned and winked at Ollie. Ollie leaned towards Father and whispered, "I'm lying, Coby's the cutest, but don't tell either of them that."
Basil popped the bag open. Orange dust flew up. She picked one up between two fingers like a cigarette and picked up her phone with the other end. She put the cheeto in her mouth and said, "'ey, c' o'er 'ere." She nodded Charcoal forward, then turned around revealing her front-facing camera. The camera quality was probably horrifying poor to Charcoal, but Basil liked the ~aesthetic~ plus it was generally a pretty shitty phone. Basil, Charcoal, and the tower of chairs would be in the shot.

yeah that seems about right
Really? Well, I've met like hundreds more than that, and out of all of them you're easily the cutest. Graphite only removed her hand from her face to write, revealing a goofy little grin underneath. No attention was paid to Ollie by her.
"I assure you, I won't." Father stuck his thumb up, raising himself from a leaning to a sitting position. "Speaking of Coby, any idea where he is? Is he still in the entrance hall?"
Charcoal, as predicted, made a little incredulous gasp at the utter shittiness of Basil's camera once she came over. it didn't compute whatsoever.[/i] "H-holy..." She shook off the shock and spread two fingers in a peace sign for a picture, though.

Raoul kept his hand to his face but didn't bother trying to muffle his laughter. He set his chin on his hand and batted his eyelashes. "WELL, I'm not gonna argue." He pressed his lips together thoughtfully, then added, "The bun helps, though. I feel adorable. I feel hot. Hodorable."
"Huh? Oh. Maybe." Ollie shrugged and stayed sitting. "Wherever he is, Wil's probably looking after him. Why? You wanna meet him? I can text."
Basil took it slightly before Charcoal was ready, then sucked up the cheeto and sat on a nearby table instead of the literal throne they'd just built. "Hey losers, den acquired," she read aloud as she typed, "join me or face the consequences." They nodded affirmative. Then they looked around warily. "You think it's too early to send this? I could wait a while."

I've tried to reply to this like 3 times in the past week and every time I'd fallen asleep because my sleep schedule is ducked up. but lemme just say father totally ships himself and ollie.
I mean, you should, because you are both hot AND adorable. You'd look super cute even without the bun, though. Trust me on that one. She paused for a few seconds, staring at his bun thoughtfully. Then, out of nowhere, she raised her pencil and stuck it into his bun, then gave him a thumbs-up.
i just wanna say i still ship this with every fiber of my being. fucking wall-e and eve right here.
"The answer is yes, I'd love to meet him. He's your... nephew, right?" Father had to rack his memory pretty well to remember that. If he was ever told in the first place, there's a good chance he wasn't but I don't really care. "Please text him."
"Send it whenever, I don't really...." Charcoal stared at the picture for a few seconds, almost suggesting they retake it but believing that that probably wouldn't happen. "....I don't really care. Just don't post that picture anywhere else, because I look absolutely terrible in it, 'kay?"

"WELL, I already know that, sooo," Raoul started, but he was cut off by the pencil. He startled like he'd been hit, then realized what was happening. Then he burst out laughing, putting his face in his hands. "Damn, between the goggles and the pencil I'm gonna get an entire, uh... toolkit? In my hair? I think I have my tiny screwdriver in my pocket, wait..." He produced a really humourously small screwdriver from the pocket of one of his jeans, then pressed it into her hand. "Put this one in."
"Yeah, the son of my sister and coworkers. I'm the only one NOT his parent, which is the irony of me being- Never mind." Ollie pulled his phone out and typed something very quickly. "He'll be here in under two minutes," he promised without waiting for a reply.
"No promises," hummed Basil. "But the thing is, I send this, and the conflict starts. Maybe I should save that for when things get even more boring, you know? It's relatively okay right now."

Petition to rename this "That Chat that Rises and Falls Like A Fucking Phoenix"
Graphite made a little gasp (really the only sound she could make besides whistling) and put her other hand to her mouth when she registered just how tiny the screwdriver was. Grinning like a (many times more adorable) hyena, she got off the bed so that she could get to his bun more easily and slid the teeny-tiny tool into his tied-up tresses. (i'm not sorry at all for that alliteration.) Once the deed was done, she bounced on the spot a little bit, clapping her hands. Cute as all hell. every time you compliment her she gets another highlight in her eyes
Father considered asking a question, but decided against it once Ollie dismissed the topic. "Anything... else major I should know before meeting him?" He questioned, head swivelling from Ollie to the door as he waited for Coby's arrival.
"I just said that I don't care when you do it." Charcoal repeated, taking the throne since Basil wasn't sitting there. That probably counts as treason. Probably. "If you'd rather save it 'till later, just save it. On an unrelated note, how's the cheeto?" She was honestly kind of surprised that the other was able to even consider eating it, much less swallow it!

Better than the rest of our rps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Raoul looked genuinely super proud of this new development, putting his hands on his hips and beaming. "Well, I feel stellar. I could be like anywhere and probably build something. I need, like, a battery, or, like, a heart. Hm?" His phone made a notification sound and he pulled it out. It's quality would probably be a bit of an affront to Graphite. He smiled wearilym "... Maybe Basil has one of either."
"Be advised that he's basically still a teenager and was raised by me," offered Ollie. "Just a warning." His phone buzzed, he checked it quickly. Then he put it back. "I'm going to ignore that for the time being."
Coby stopped his walk down the hall to check his phone, which buzzed at the same time as Wil's, who trailed behind him. "Fuck's sake, Basil." He shook his head and just continued. Wil made a disapproving sound. Someone paying attention would also notice Abel and Decaire check their phones, and the former's impassive glare and the latter's sideways glance. Leo stood up from her crouch when she checked hers, but made no move to check it out.
Basil shrugged. "Well, it's sent now, that's that." In response, Basil looked Charcoal straight in the eyes and put two more cheetos into her mouth. It didn't sound so great.

...true im gonna be a Responsible Good Girl and respond to this Right Now!!! Praise me bicth!!! I'm going to prove that I can commit myself !! also is 'basil' pronounced 'bay-sil' or 'baz-il' in this case because i've heard both used as names
Text from Loser Sister Jr.: Sent just now send help they ate cheetos from 2005 and now theyve started shit So, apparently Graphite's text-alert tone was one of the Spice Girls saying 'zig-a-zig-ahhh.' Quickly, she picked her phone up off the bed (Fuller Ar-STM, scheduled for release to the public June 2nd) and checked it, her smile fading a whole bunch. Quickly, she sat down, picking her notepad up instead of doing the sensible thing and like. Sharing contact info or something. Whoever Charcoal's with actually tried cheetos from 2005. I'M from 2005.
Father just so happened to be the only Fuller that didn't get texted, because of course he was. "I can handle teenagers. I...uh... was a teenager once." He clarified, nodding a little bit. There wasn't any telling whether he meant that as a joke or not, though.
"Okay, ew. I'm just going to assume they're absolutely horrible and you're just eating them to spite me." Charcoal was visibly, if mildly, uncomfortable with this, quickly burying her nose into her phone to send off a text of her own. Xenon's phone, which last time I checked Basil had, went off just a split second afterwards.
Deep within their old janitor's closet, a detailed discussion on the rules of Patty Cake drew to a close with the buzzing of Neon's phone. "Wow. 2005?" "Woah. Graphite's from 2005."
Bucky and Diamond got Charcoal's text at the same time, Diamond sighing deeply and Bucky deciding to investigate. Though Carbon didn't notice his phone go off, he saw that his two siblings who were still in the entrance hall reacting to something and decided to follow his brother into the hallway.

Wow look at u :0c BAY-sil!!!!
Raoul's smile was still a little crooked or weary. "Oh geez. Wait a sec." He turned his phone to face Graphite. The screen was pretty badly cracked but Graphite would be able to make out the picture Basil had sent; they had the cheeto in their mouth in the picture. "Your sister's with Basil in their 'den.' ... So long as the cheetos aren't moldy it shouldn't trigger a sickness response, so Basil'll probably be fine..."
Ollie shrugged and nodded, then glanced up as Coby walked in. Coby spoke first: "Did you get Basil's-" "Until she finds some way to make the lights flicker on and off remotely, I'm not going to find her. I'll give a dollar to whoever does." Coby nodded and smirked, then straightened himself out a bit to look at Father. He opened his mouth, realized he had nothing to say, then just fell silent. Wil stood quietly behind him.
"It's not that bad," protested Basil. "Some rich guy could get away with selling these as gourmet." She paused to pick of Xenon's phone, glancing over the notifications. She tutted. "Gossip? I'm a bit offended. I'd kick you out but then you could spill the location. I guess I'll have to execute you." (me, continuing to make jokes like this, knowing full well that basil gets executed in canon: haha)
Decaire watched the siblings go and was suddenly struck with the idea that Basil somehow got the picture to them too? I mean it wasn't that much of a stretch, Basil had managed some pretty fucked up shit. Leo, without even asking where the three of them were going, started to trail behind Carbon. Decaire frowned, now watching Leo. Behind his glasses, he glanced at Diamond. "Where are they all going all of a sudden?"

ARE YOU PROUD OF ME FOR GETTING A TINY BIT OF MY SHIT TOGETHER all of these replies are weak but i set an alarm labelled 'reply to that rp you donk' and i'm sure as fuck following it
That doesn't make it any less gross !! It was honestly hard to tell what freaked her out more; the whole Cheeto thing or just everything about Raoul's phone. She quickly looked up from her pad, only now noticing his expression. On a scale of one to ten, how much shit is this going to start?
Father listened intently to that little exchange, but wouldn't say anything on the matter until he himself was pulled in one way or another. "Abraham Fuller, though 'Father,' 'Sir,' or anything of the like is preferred. It's a pleasure." He greeted, getting off the bed and extending his left hand.
"Executed?" She repeated in a mockingly-shocked tone, putting a hand to her chest. "If anything, I'm the one who should be ordering the executions. That should count as treason, even daring to tease the idea that I, Charcoal Fuller-" She stopped rather abruptly, trying to think of something to say. She wasn't all too good at this.
Diamond was about to explain, but Bucky interrupted rather quickly. "Charcoal's with one of you guys and just texted me 'Send help.' It's probably nothing but she'll probably send way more until we go investigate because she's an attention whore like that." (give it up for the magnificent Professor Exposition)

HOLY SHIT *NOW* I'M IMPRESSED
"Fair enough," Raoul laughed. He looked around at her question. Seems like everything hadn't gone batshit within the first minute, which was probably a good sign. "Depends how long we can remain respectable individuals. Ollie's gonna try and make sure we don't all embarrass ourselves, at least, but Basil's proven better at mind games than most of us. Which is Ollie's fault, by the way, not mine. You thinking of trying to stay out of it?"
"I've heard of you, sir. It's nice to meet you." Coby shook his hand with barely a smile. Despite Ollie's 'teenager' warnings Coby seemed both more professional and more cultured than Ollie, maybe. "I'm Coburn Eldridge. Mister Eldridge would be nice." At that, Ollie made a face like he was going to laugh, hopefully out of the view of Father. Coby had to resist the urge to stick out his tongue. Instead, he nodded over his should. "And this is Wilhelm Ezard; my first android and personal assistant." (leave it to coby to use a semicolon in speech)
Basil cocked their head at Charcoal. "You're gonna have to work on that. I'm lucky," she went on, putting about three cheetos in her mouth, "I have a very high charisma stat and I can make GREAT execution speeches. My last one-" They paused and frowned. "You think your friends are actually gonna come looking for you? I haven't planned for that yet."
Decaire pinched the bridge of his nose. "Please tell me it's not-" "It's probably Basil," interjected Leo quietly. She cracked a tiny smile. "Your friend is a hostage. Or maybe bait." Her smile dropped. "I'm not sure I want to pick a fight with Basil right now." "Why not? You could beat them."

Definitely. *Ladies* do not participate in such *petty conflict*. Disregarding the fact she threw Xenon's phone like twenty feet ten minutes ago, Graphite switched to cursive mid-sentence for ~effect.~ Though, the real question is, are you staying out or not? Will I have to send you off to join the war with a tear in my eye as you drive a Model T from the cornfields into the city? Honestly with half the things Graphite writes I'm surprised Raoul has the patience to just wait for her to write out entire fucking monologues but it's a humorous thought so I'm not changing a thing.
"It's certainly nice to meet both of you, too." Father repeated, not noticing Ollie's reaction (I'd be surprised if he had any peripheral vision at all with that veil.) "I'm astounded by you and your..." He blanked on the word 'Uncle,' which probably ruined any semblance of a professional air he had about himself. He just kinda hung on the word 'your' for a few seconds, waving his hand around a few times. "You and Ollie's work. Quite so, in fact. Yeah."
"I mean, I'm pretty sure "Off with their heads" suffices, right?" She rubbed the back of her neck, giving Basil's next question a semi-curious look. "I mean, Bucky's probably under the impression I'm trying to get his attention and I don't remember the last time Diamond actually cared about something I was doing, sooo... Maybe. Though... 'Friends?' You... don't think we look related at all? Dark hair, green eyes, blindingly pale, high cheeks...?"
"That's what their name is?" Carbon butted in. "I mean, the blonde guy with the goggles is with Graphite, one of the tall guys just left, the other tall guy just up and disappeared half an hour ago, and you guys are... here. So is Basil the only one left out of that?" He mansplained listed off, not actually looking at Leo but paying attention.

Raoul is a patient gent and waited calmly before shrugging. "Well, I mean, depends on the offer and/or blackmail, I guess. I don't PLAN to... but if you can't find me anywhere, I've been kidnapped and could probably use some rescuing."
"Thank you, though Wil and Leo are the only ones I've had a hand in." Coby shrugged a shoulder, looking proud. "And it would be unfair not to credit Raoul and my father. Did you work on... all of these androids yourself? Because that'd definitely be impressive."
Basil leaned back in her chair throne. "Hmm. Might not be safe to go out now. Also might not be late to go out later. I should've actually found the camera system first, huh? I'm a mess." She opened her eye to glance at Charcoal. "Huh? Well, it's not like you're genetically related, are you? I'm more into computer science than biology, but Ollie gets pissed when I call him daddy so we don't really consider ourselves family. Didn't wanna make assumptions."
"Basil is the skinny one with the frizzy hair," confirmed Decaire, adjusting his glasses, "and the villain behind most problems around here. I suggest we do try and find them before too much goes wrong." Decaire and Leo both had distinct voices- Decaire almost frighteningly monotonous, and Leo almost a gravelly whisper. "You know how I love a good manhunt, but maybe we should just let things play out. Ignore them?"
