Bowyetta picked up the pill and frowned at it. “Is going to work?”
She inspected it for a few more second, before seeing the look that
Vinny was giving. She finally tossed the pill into her mouth, her teeth
making a metallic clunk as she swallowed it.

Before long, a
rattling noise came from Bowyetta’s internals. She coughed up a large
plume of smoke. She was now beginning to notice how hungry she actually
was. She took the lid off the tray, revealing that Beep had made soup
and sandwiches for her. Bowyetta took the sandwiches and shoved them
into her mouth as quickly as possible. It wasn’t long before she had
finished off the soup as well.

“Um… Alright then~ Mr. Sir, I think
Bowyetta’s going to need a bit more than that~ Please keep an eye on
her for a moment~” He stuck his head into Bowyetta’s hair and produced
some sort of can, giving it to her before taking the tray back
downstairs.

“I don’t see why not…”

He winced and coughed at the large exhaust of smoke, but sighed in relief afterwards. Apparently, that was a good thing; she was eating now. Well, scarfing. He silently thanked AJAX manufacturers and nodded to Vinny.

Looking at Bowyetta, he searched for something to say.

“So, erm, what’s in the can…?”

“You cannot be leaving of Bowyetta so soon, Mr. Sir~ Not before she
is showing you her newest plan~ Nyu hu hu~” She then got up and walked
over to a chain hanging on the wall, giving it a quick pull.

“Eeeek!”
There was an oddly familiar scream as a cage dropped from the ceiling.
Inside was… Another Bowyetta? This one seemed… More normal. somehow. Her
eyes looked less… Demonic, as it were. She had all her own limbs, and
her skin was perfectly polished. “M-Mr. Sir!” She called out from the
cage. “Please to be saving of Bowyetta!”

“Bowyetta” walked over
the the caged Bowyer, and continued speaking. “Please to be looking at
her, Mr. Sir~ Are you noticing of something about her~? Much perfect she
is being~ Bowyetta is needing of her pieces, Mr. Sir~”

While
“Bowyetta” was speaking, Vinny managed to slip between the bars of the
cage, and carefully approached the Repairman. “Mr. Sir, I have a plan~ I
can get Bowyetta out of there~ Just keep distracting her for me,
please~”

“No, that’s really okay, I really should…oh….”

The Repairman couldn’t take his eyes off the real Bowyetta.

“O-oh…”

He only paid half of his attention to Vinny, the other half still trying to find out what this imposter was. Well, if he was to distract this thing, he just hoped it would help….

“Um, before you add more,” he asked, whipping out a blowtorch and a steel wool pad, “shall we perfect what you already have?”

monokuro-adventures:

The room “Bowyetta” sat in looked oddly familiar. The walls, floor, and ceiling were made entirely of patched-up metal, and there were strange piles of scrap metal all over the place. The room was completely dark, save for the glow of some sort of furnace in the back.

“Mr. Siiiir~” “Bowyetta” called from the center of the room. “Bowyetta is knowing that you be here~ Do not be worrying~ She is certain you will much loving her new look~”

“Bowyetta” then turned around to reveal what she had done to herself. Pieces from other Machine Mades had been patched all over her body. Her legs had been completely replaced, and she now had at least 4 or 5 arms. Her body was covered in patches of rust, and her hair was a tangled mess, not to mention filled with even more mechanical pieces.

“Please to be looking at Bowyetta, Mr. Sir~ Is she not be much beautiful now~?”

“…Bowyetta…?”

When he heard that she went missing, the Repairman was more than happy to keep an eye out for her.

Well, she wouldn’t be in this scrap room, but hey, maybe it would be a good shortcut…

Well, what do you know? It looked like there was a familiar silhouette. But…something was off…

“Oh, good to see you again Bowyet–”

And then he saw her handiwork. He couldn’t look away. Those were definitely not her feet, her arms, or her scraps. Something about the aura around here told him that these weren’t just discarded parts, either.

Automatically, his voice went to the classic quip, in spite of the sudden chills he had.

“Y-you’re right about that.”

He began to back away slowly.

“I…think maybe I should be going,” he stammered, silently wondering how he’d break the news to Bowyetta’s housemates.

Bowyetta’s vision was beginning to swirl, and she started to feel
dizzy. “Ahh… M-maybe you being right, Mr. Sir. Perhaps Bowyetta should
be speaking not of Susumu.”

The burning feeling disappeared, the
chill lessened, and Bowyetta sank back into the bed, leaving a small
trail of smoke as she went. In an attempt to calm her down, Vinny began
humming and began to brush his “tail” against her head, but quickly
pulled away when he felt how cold she was. “Bowyetta… Just eat
something, would you? You know what happens when you don’t…”

Bowyetta buried her face in the blanket again. “Bowyetta’s stomach is not feeling much good…”

Vinny
gave her an exasperated look, then turned back the the Repairman.
“You’ll have to excuse her, she is impossible sometimes… I’m sorry, I
know you don’t know much about Bowyers, but do you have anything that
might make her feel better?”

The Repairman nodded, glad that there might be less breaks around here.

That gladness quickly disappeared, however, as Bowyetta seemed to worsen.

“No, no, it’s fine, just…”

He looked to his left and produced a thumb-sized pill out of seemingly nowhere. The capsule was green and had, in tiny sans-serif print, a label that said “AJAX Stomach Soother”

“I mean, this works for us Toons,” he shrugged. “Don’t see why it wouldn’t work for her.”

He held the pill out to Bowyetta.

“Hey, um, could you take this?”

As soon as the Repairman approached Spackledorf, he sat up and hissed
at the blob, spewing more of the same purple goop from his mouth.
Jingletooth spoke up once more “THAT is DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL!!”

Spackledorf,
meanwhile, was beginning to glow an odd purple color. He hovered off of
the bed slightly, and began to hover towards Jingletooth. His face was
hard to see, but he had a somewhat menacing look about him. The dog did
find this somewhat off-putting, but she gave another nervous smile. “He
just wants a HUG!” She attempted to do so, but all Spackledorf did in
response was scratch at her face before dashing off toward the portal.

Purple goop…? What kind of…

Ohhh…

The Repairman was quick to shake off the goop. He was not going to get a contact possession!

He turned to see Jingletooth try to embrace this demon.

“Wait, no–!”

He wasn’t at a good angle to see the attack, but he winced as the demon struck. The thing seemed to take a certain interest in that portal…

Oh no.

The Repairman was there first, pulling a variety of things out of his hammerspace. Garlic, vials of holy water, a variety of holy symbols (crosses, stars, and moons, mainly), silver spoons, salt, and anything else the inkblot could think of stood between the demon and the portal.

With that done, he went to do the same to the door. On the way he grabbed Jingletooth’s hand and brought her with him. As he began flinging more anti-supernatural stuff, he hissed, “What happened?!”

Bowyetta looked up from her blanket. To avoid spewing smoke in the
Repairman’s face, she tried to speak with her mouth covered, but
breathing in her own smoke only made her feel more sick, so she
uncovered her face completely. “Is being true? Bowyetta’s arrows are not
harmed?“

She laid there in silence for a moment, before Vinny spoke up. “Psst, Bowyetta~! Now is the time to say it~!”

“Oh,
um!” Bowyetta remembered. “Mr. Sir? Bowyetta is much grateful for you
have saving her. If not being for you she would not be here right now.
You know… Smithy is very much wanting for Bowyetta to be destroyed…” She
went silent once more, before speaking again. “Beepsumu is telling
Bowyetta always that ‘Susumu’ is protecting her… But… Bowyetta is
knowing what this is meaning… ‘Susumu’ is-”

Suddenly, Bowyetta sat
up in the bed. The chill she was feeling became much sharper, and she
was shaking much harder now. Despite the cold she felt something burning
on her back, as though someone were glaring at her from afar. “A-are
you also feeling of that?”

The Repairman paused, and then nodded. “Those that were hit will be back in shape in no time.”

He beamed at Bowyetta’s thanks. “I mean, your arrows did most of it…I was just along for the ride…”

He winced as he heard the name of a mun.

“…I felt something,” he finally said, after a pause. “It might…be best not to mention her…”

He would have been worried about tactfully bringing that up if Bowyetta didn’t start shivering. Clearly, referencing this “Susumu” was a bad idea anyway.
