Black Hat cackled as he watched in amusement as the large robot went to attack the tresspassing human. This was fun!
“Oh my god… look at you!” Carlos exclaimed, his mouth splitting into a wide grin. “You look amazing! You look incredible – and so well-dressed! I haven’t seen a robot as amazing as you in such a long time!” Carlos was so excited – he wanted to take the time to admire the machine. But then he realized…
“Wait… you’re not stopping, are you?” he asked it as it continued toward him. He slid his camera into his pocket and took a step back, watching to see what the ‘bot would do.
The bot charged at him, its sharp claws shining in the sunlight as it grinned sadistically, reminiscent of the eldritch horror it was modeled after.
Carlos’ heart pounded and he started running. “You know, the cummerbund is a nice touch!” he called back to the robot as chased after him. “It really brings the whole aesthetic together!”
Carlos was stalling. He knew he couldn’t run forever. C’mon… his knowledge about robots had to save him somehow…
