Dave and Devbot 3 - The Stevensons Presentation!

Dave and Devbot 3 - The Stevensons Presentation!

-setting(sitting in an office talking to wrathion)

(while walking to the office, talking to devbot)

I wonder what the boss has to say about my presentation. I hope we get the stevensons account

-What presentation? what account? we're headed to talk to wrathion about our next mission

Yah it will be ok. I did spend all night working on that presentation afterall

-Since you dont listen to what I say anyway, I'm switching my language function

--Walk into room and sit down with wrathion--

---(wrathion speaking) Good evening dave, my best co vert ops specialist. It seems you brought your little robot with you

-Konichi wa sensie. Den wa bango wa?

---I was under the impression that your little friend spoke the common tongue dave.

He does, he's just mad at me right now because I made him stay up late with me to work on the stevensons presentation

---The stevensons presentation? My you sure are the eccentric fellow. It seems the best workers usually are

-Eccentric is an understatement, Dave just has a few screws loose

---Ah, so you can speak the common tongue, and you even understand what I'm saying. That is most impressive

-I can't actually speak. I only give pre recorded replies to specific auditory ques. Plus this replay explaining how I function in the case that someone refers to my ability to seemingly talk

---Even if it is a trick it is most impressive. Now then, onto why I brought you two in here. It seems the dread lord that got away from the camp you took out a few weeks back has been spotted in (place) and is raising an army and has recruited a few warlocks. I've sent scouts into the area already but none have come back or gotten into contact with me. Its most strange that my rouges where found out so easily, this dreadlord must be especially intelligent.

That does sound bad boss, I dont think even my presentation will be able to convince stevenson, but I'll give it my best shot.

-Oh my god, shut up dave. He's not done talking

---Yes yes, anyway, I need you two to go into the area and find out whats going on, and if possible, kill the dreadlord. I was thinking about using some of my contacts from the alliance or horde to send in a small platoon but I'd rather not get them involved if I can avoid it.

You can count on me boss! Me and dev will get you that account or die trying!

-There is no account dave. The boss is sending us on a mission that should require a small army to handle. We might not make it out of this.

Oh dev, your such a negative nancy. Dont worry boss, even if dev doesn't think we can get the account you can count on me

---Good, I'm going to assume you understand your assignment since I hear this is how you've responded to all your other tasks and yet carried them out without a hitch. I'll need you to only fly to the borders of the town and walk in like normal. No need causing a huge commotion flying in in your dragon form right in the middle of things.

Sounds good boss, I'll make sure not to crash the company car.

-Why would we take a car when you can turn into a dragon? Plus most of the rodes on this planet arent even suitable for those goblin death traps.

Fine devbot! we can listen to your mix tape on the way there

... they walk out, pan to wrathion ....

(wrathions guard) are you sure you should send 'those two' on that mission?

(wrathion) Why of course. I could send those two into the heart of stormwind to kill the alliances king and they'd come back with souvenirs by the end of the day. I just hope they dont cause too much of a ruckus.

(wrathions gaurd) oh...

Dave and devbot 2, The big baking competition!

Dave and devbot 2, The big baking competition!

-(Setting: they're on a mission to take out a group of humans/scarlet crusade members.)

They're right over this hill devbot. Boy I sure am nervous about this baking competition.

-Its not a baking competition. Wrathion sent us to take out this camp quietly.

I know, but I've practice how to make the cake come out with just the right amount of puffyness. All you need to do is sift the flower before hand. Who'd have thought it was so simple!

-You've never made a meal in your life. How would you know how to bake?

quiet dev, one of the judges are here to welcome us

---Hey you two, who are you and why are you here?

We're here for the baking competition of course!

-There is no baking competition dave, You made that up.

---Omg, a talking robot and a taurren, Crap wrathions on to us...

*slash*(dave kills him quickly with his sword)

He seemed to be one of my competitors. Lets go see if everyone else has arrived yet.

:::Upon entering the camp they are surrounded:::

---So it seems wrathion found out about our little encampment. Your too late though, the dread lord is no longer here. Not that it matters, as you will be dead pretty soon anyway. Remember Men! theses two are extremely dangerous, but we have them outnumbered, so be careful as you take their heads

I dont know what your talking about dude, I'm just here for a baking contest, you have the wrong guy.

-Dave is right. Its not like Wrathion sent us here to take out this small camp and find information on the burning legions influence in this area.

---Holy crap, the robot really can talk. The rumors where true

-I cannot talk. I can only give pre-rendered replies to auditory ques. Including this reply to that statement.

---Dont let the robot confuse you, lets take them out!

*dave turns into a black dragon and burns all the soldiers to death*

Darn, its looks like we just missed the competition. I knew we shouldnt have stopped to recharge your batteries.

-We didnt stop dave, we flew strait here from the hideout.

Haha dev, you and your racist jokes

-I didnt tell a joke, you just ignore me and say random things.

Your right, I probably would have won the competition anyway. My cakes are the best. WE just gave all the other competitors a chance by missing it.

A very Mysterious Mystery in WoW (machinama)


A very Mysterious Mystery in WoW (machinama)


So then I said, "Thats nacho cheese!" and you should have seen the look on his face.

-I do not get why being being rude to people is humorous

Of course you dont dev, thats because your a robot. Why do you always have be such a downer?

-I only say things that you have programed me to say, including this response to that question.

Hahaha classic devbot, you silly robot.

(hears noise)

Did you hear that?

-I do not have sensory functions to distinguish noises from one another, besides the pre-programed auditory ques you've supplied me with.

Thats right devbot, sounds like someone is in trouble. Lets go check it out!

-I wouldnt do that if I where you dave

(they run over to the house)

I think the screams came from this old house, but the door is locked. What should we do devbot?

-why are you asking me? We both know you have super strength. just break it down.

Thats right devbot, I sometimes forget I'm a warrior. Although I havent really seen any action since the 3rd war.

##breaks down door##

Oh my, it looks like we have a dead body, with a stab wound to the back. Quick devbot, scan the room and tell me what you can make of this situation!

-Working. Working. (after a delay) It turns out The only programing I have is to respond to your auditory ques. And the knowlege that the government is actually run by lizard people.

Yes I was thinking the same thing devbot, it seems who ever killed her, did so with a stab to the back and either escaped through the window or door. But considering we got here almost immediately, it seems odd that both the door was closed and lock, and the window doesnt seem to have been opened. And to make matters even more confusing, it seems the weapon is no where in sight.

-Maybe we should ask the people nearby if they saw anything.

Good idea devbot, I was just about to suggest that myself

(upon walking outside they run into someone)

-A guy- I heard a scream, is everything ok?

It appears we have a mystery on our hands. This woman inside was stabbed in the back and the perpetrator seems to have escaped!

-guy- omg, you have blood on your sword. I'm.. I'm going to go contact the stormwind guard!

(slash)

oops, looks like I forgot to wipe that off

-why did you kill that girl dave?

Haha, crazy devbot, you and your silly jokes. We should probably see if there are any more witnesses. You go off in that direction, and I'll go check in the opposite direction. I'm still not quite use to being an agent of the black prince. I guess there's a reason most of them are rogues.

-Jet fuel can't melt steel beams dave.

(they run off)

---Notes---

Dave can be a taurren warrior
Devot can be one of my battlepets, like lil'bling or clockworkgnome.

This will be part 1 of a series of "Mysteries" where dave and his robot go out on assassination missions while pretending that they are solving different cases. At first I wanted them to work for the SI:7 agents since they are probably the most well known from hearthstone rouge decks, but After reading up what they actually do, they're more like the CIA and not really a group of assasins. Not to say the Real CIA doesn't actually do assignations, but I thought it would easier to go with Wrathion instead, as that guy's story is 1: pretty well known and 2: he is also a shady character who would totally be up for assignations. Which would allow me a ton of freedom on where the stories can take place since wrathion has a very global view of the story since hes trying to protect the earth from a burning legion invasion and went into a total "Littlefinger" character during mists.

As for the characters themselves. Dave the warrior assassin, will be like a marry sue at first and able to pull off all kinds of things a warrior shouldn't be able to do. All while pretending to be a mystery solver with his sidekick robot. Now for the robot, I want him to seem to understand whats actually going on in the story, while at the same time putting in nonsese lines to remind the viewers that he is indeed just an advance version of siri. I also dont have plans to make the robot do anything special but who knows, things might change down the line.
