[Phibrizzo looks highly amused by the three animatronic trolls Tony Stark built and had delivered to the front door of the Uzushio. He's currently perched on the head of one of the three of them with a little grin on his face. He still doesn't know who the anonymous texter was, but he's impressed enough by the end results.]

Best trolling ever.

[He even applauds. That took a fair amount of dedication to follow through with it.]

Thank you, mystery person! They've been a great conversation piece. Getting them inside and setting up a Halloween display in the main lobby took some work, but I like them.

[... what the hell is he even

sounding more bewildered than anything:] Those are fucking monstrosities.

[brat_from_hell]

But that makes them perfect for Halloween decorations, doesn't it?

[video]

[12second_orz]

Well, yes... but how the hell did you even get them? Don't tell me you paid for them.

I got a text message asking if I boned the Hulk, and I said no and that I was underage. Then I got asked how I'd like to be trolled and I said with trolls on my front lawn...then these arrived two weeks later.

... I think I need a cigarette.

[There's a long, long pause while he finds his smokes and a lighter and takes a deep drag, massaging his temple slightly.]

So. Our mysterious network messenger was kind enough to make a hideous donation to you. I'm not sure whether or not I'd be pleased or insulted in your position.

It certainly did take some work. I must say, they are rather troll like, though a bit smaller then an actual troll.

[bondsoflove]

[Disgruntled.]

Are these going to get in the way of security?

[video]

[brat_from_hell]

Well, it solved what we were going to do for a holiday display at the Uzushio, so I can't really complain.

[brat_from_hell]

I'm pretty impressed with how life-like they are. It's amazing what you can do with robots these days.

[brat_from_hell]

It shouldn't be a problem. They're just a display, and they're too big and heavy for most people to move.

[bondsoflove]

If someone tries to attack me with an animatronic troll, I want a bonus.

[brat_from_hell]

Do you really think there's a chance of that happening?

[bondsoflove]

Here?

[Where the food spontaneously turns into candy, genders get swapped overnight, and turkeys explode and reanimate?]

Yes.

[brat_from_hell]

Well, okay, but you have to try not to break it too badly if it attacks you.

[bondsoflove]

Did it come with directions on how to turn it off?

I make no promises. My life and my job are more important than a moving decoration.

[video]

[12second_orz]

I'll grant you that- but isn't the Uzushio supposed to be relaxing?

[brat_from_hell]

No, but I figured out where the on/off switch is, and it can always be unplugged.

[video]

[brat_from_hell]

It still is. That's just a holiday display off to the side in the front lobby. It's not like we're putting fake spiders that jump at people in the rooms, or making people walk through a haunted house to get to the spa.

[bondsoflove]

Where is the on/off switch?

[bratziska]

If you consider "what in the world is wrong with you" a good conversation starter, then I suppose you're right.

[video]

[capax_infiniti]

So it seems it's that time of the year already... a charming touch.

[video]

[12second_orz]

Hm. I suppose. [He doesn't look convinced, though- they're just uncanny okay shut up] You have no idea who your mysterious benefactor is?

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

You don't think they're a good Halloween display? I thought Halloween was supposed to be about monsters and ghosts and things that scare people.

[video]

[brat_from_hell]

It seems to be going over well enough with the guests. Of course, I'm not really sure what we'll do with them after Halloween. I'm sure we can find storage somewhere, though.

[brat_from_hell]

It's on the right heel of each of them.
