Hard-light Heartline

Oh hey, moon! Wouldn't it be cool if the moon was an octagon? Someone should write a song about that.

SpoilerShow

>RR: The Tondeker has duplicated itself. Timelines may be converging.

Thanks for that, I'm trying to figure out a decent way to reorganize my backgrounds.

Noodle around on your instrument while you wait for this drone!

some noodles would be delicious right now

Compose a song about bands with misunderstood names.

You idly strum and play your GUITAR, setting a baseline for... something. Something that sounds cool, at least.

You try to think of a way to go on a monologue about unrecognized band names, but your mind isn't quite all the way there yet, being stuck in a weird fissure between foodstuffs and octagons. It's much easier to stay on track when you have SOMEONE ELSE alongside you to help reinforce what you're putting down, y'know? The special stuff comes when guys work together.




either way, you're interrupted by a DRONE-like buzzing noise next to your window

>designate landing zone with impact-cushioning cloth

>RR: How'd the window get open? Better take a second to shut it.

>Consider the possibility that it's actually a bee.
>Panic

Get that module and slam it on your jammer!

OH HECK ITS FINALLY HERE

finally

>designate landing zone with impact-cushioning cloth

you lay your BEDSHEETS in front of the window to make a safe landing spot for the DRONE



which it promptly ignores

SpoilerShow

Whomp it with a pillow, don't let it get away!

>RR: Make like the Pied Piper and guide it with a melody!

Close the window! Don't let it escape!

Do the drones, uh, usually do this?

>Catch it. Catch it with your teeth!

Whomp it with a pillow, don't let it get away!

You manage to bean it with your PILLOW and send it to the ground.

Do the drones, uh, usually do this?

It depends on the model. Some of them fly in, drop the PACKAGE, and leave. It looks like this is one of those ones that keeps the box in a compartment inside itself, so you gotta open it up.




These ones tend to scan your face, or have a button to press that'll give you access why is there still buzzing

>RR: Incoming swarm. You better close that window.

Oh right, all the groceries you ordered.

Welp tiny bee drone is adorable.

Bop the nose for access.

Oh right, all the groceries you ordered.

groceries? you're not expecting to get those yet, it'll still be some time before those get here



plus this thing looks nothing like the DRONE that delivers the groceries

Hum the inverse of the buzzing, cancelling out the noise.

You pluck a string on your GUITAR and match the frequency of the strange DRONE in front of you. A tap of one of the buttons on the SYNTHESIZER MODULE offsets the signal and cancels out the robotic buzzing.

















THAT SLIPPERY SHIT'S SWIPING YOUR STUFF

>Two can play at that game. Carpe grab 'em!

SpoilerShow

Alternatively...
>Give 'em the old El Kabong!

>Equip novelty oversized RAID can

>RR: Close the window! You're not trapped in here with it, IT'S trapped in here with YOU!

>RR: Close the window! You're not trapped in here with it, IT'S trapped in here with YOU!

You turn around and quickly shut the WINDOW. You're not letting this thing get away so easily!

GRAB THEM GRAB THEM GRAB THEM!

he's a wily fella

you might be able to snatch the DRONE out from under it, or maybe knock it to the ground with your GUITAR.

RR: Hop on it's back and ride it like a mechanical b(ee)ull!

this is kinda fun but also a total waste of time

>Oh god now it's angry
>Activate your LVL 1 RHYTHMTECH: THE BEE-SIDE

>If you can get that sheet over it, it'll think it's night time and fall asleep! That's how bugs work, right?

It charged up! You should charge up too!

Break it's wings! Before it becomes super-saiyan!

You're not touching those wings, they look like they're made out of HARD-LIGHT.

HARD-LIGHT is one of those futuristic things that has been starting to show up. Imagine a hologram, but solid and also trying to punch you. So far, HARD-LIGHT has been used for signs and stuff that's normally too high up for anyone to get their hands on (as well as wicked light shows. Again, imagine a rave, but it can punch you). You never know when a glob of HARD-LIGHT will change its shape and knock you on your ass. The HARD-LIGHT STRINGS on your GUITAR are stable enough for you to pluck them, but you've learned not to mess with anything else it can do.




oh that's right your guitar can also do this
