⑰ To the future → Is it everything you've dreamed? Is it horrible? Whatever happens, you're here to witness what happens to you in the future. Either you take the place of your future self or you're just there to watch. Might cause some confusion if people start seeing double though...

③ Lost → You're lost and you kind of need help finding your way to where you're going. A little help with directions?

if specific things of interest/appeal come to mind, lemme know!
Reinventing AI... Looking for good representation, huh?
[He has to laugh, but not at the robot. More with. He's dressed as a different - more muscular - skeleton for what he assumes are similar reasons, after all!]
I haven't seen that panel! But if you know where it is... I give you a lift? Or lead the way.
[If nothing else, he can look around for signs of a sign toward it. Or check his copy of the event schedule and map.]
Will do! =D /makes up a convention hall room naming scheme for funsies
[Although he's not an AI himself, precisely.
And he appreciates Papyrus' amusement - a sense of humor can make many things bearable, after all!
The bot tilts forward in Webmind's best approximation of a nod.]
And for reasons I don't claim to understand, we're in the room labeled 'Animals'; it's the third room on the left in the hall marked 'Anthropomorphs'.
[On the one hand, if there was a theme there should have been one for 'robots' as well. But on the other, it was nice to not automatically be placed in a box...]
You might have better luck leading than I would, however. I'll stay close.
i already feel terribly lost in this place - we'll see how these two fare
[There had been a couple people cosplaying as Undyne congregating in the Anthropomorphs hallway, he's pretty sure. Lifting what looked like styrofoam boulders.
He'd had to laugh, and take pictures to share with her.]
And I can surely see it again from my height! Follow me. And, uh, let me know if I go too fast!
[It doesn't do much good to escort the little bot if he goes off ahead and they get separated in the crowds.
With Webmind's acknowledgement, he'll start making his way through halls that he thinks lead back that way.
Some of the halls and rooms seem to be grouped, like AI and Animals and Anthropomorphs, more by an alphabetical system than one where there's any more obvious connections between the things... Which should, hopefully, make it easier to navigate.
He plays up the Skeletor persona a little bit, making the occasional comment in his attempt at the voice. It's enough to get some people to back off, thinking that it's something being filmed. Is it enough for them to navigate the crowd safely?]
Hmm - roll a d10? Anything higher than 7 and they make it on time?
[Not that Webmind had seen those Undynes, sadly.
Some way into their bold journey, Webmind speaks up, possibly to make sure people don't cut in behind the cosplaying skeleton!]
The 'A' corridor doesn't appear to be at the front of the hall. Have we missed a sign?
[Not that it'd be hard for him to miss it, with the floor as crowded as it is!]
I liked that idea, refined it and rolled. Got a 9, they'll get there with time to spare
Hmm. Maybe...
[The floor is crowded, for sure. But more than that: there's some big displays for a recent release along the hall, more than large enough to cover any corridor signs lurking behind them.
(Your humble player did not have a specific idea of a canon in mind, and leaves that as an exercise for the co-player, or perhaps for the reader to fill in with their imagination.)
Either way, there's the ever so faint hint of a lightbulb or exclamation mark above Papyrus' head as he squints at one of the displays, then marches forward to peer around it.]
I think! This is the hall we want!
Awww yeah. Thank you! :D
This may change when the panel is done; only time will tell!
Webmind pushes the small bot to squeak ahead, trying to catch a glimpse on the webcams-
Huzzah!]
Yes, this does look correct. [Setting the speaker output to max, he adds:] Excuse us! We have a panel to attend just down this hall!
[And quite possibly speak at, though given that he's meant to be a surprise guest for this one he's not opening with that.]
Thank you for your cooperation, it will only take a moment for us to pass!
[... Hopefully.]
o/\o
Being early is an essential part of being a surprise guest; it means they have the opportunity to get in before some of the audience, to sneak to whatever position will best let Webmind lurk unnoticed before being introduced.
Being a loud speaker, moving about on the floor, is also helpful in being a surprise guest in the literal sense - it is very surprising.
Much of the crowd in the corridor turns at the voice, confusion on their faces. The masked skeleton's costume doesn't answer any of them. Maybe his words will help.]
Yes! Hello! We are going to a room down this way. Very time sensitive. Please allow us to pass, then continue your queuing activities!!!
[Maybe not. Some of the people here are queuing to get through to other places, rather than queuing to wait at one of the doors...
But between Papyrus' loud voice, and Webmind's loud speakers, the sheer volume of their approach makes enough people pull back that there's an opening for them to move through. And so the skeleton does.]
Timeskip panel? There are definitely other famous speakers on/of AI around; could get exhausting. XD
To Papyrus, he speaks (at a much more normal volume):]
Thank you very much. You are welcome to stay for the panel as well, if you're interested...?
[There are many general AI enthusiasts about, after all; one doesn't have to be digital in nature to come and listen! Especially if you're already working a booth or two.]
as discussed on plurk
Papyrus lowers his voice a bit in turn, though not so much that it can be called a normal volume. Just slightly quieter than his normal.]
You're very welcome! I may stick around... If there's a spare seat...
[He glances around to check, not wanting to put a real fan out of the option to attend this gathering, before waving a farewell and going his own way.
It's a reasonably crowded panel, in the end. Broad enough to draw a variety of participants, focused enough to draw in the enthusiasts. Hilariously enough, there's at least one familiar box-shaped robot costume in the crowd.
With the panel itself, some of it goes over Papyrus' skull. For all that it's AI in fiction, there's still a lot of complicated information tossed around by people who are, by and large, comfortable with the mechanics and programming of really advanced machinery. And not just complicated in the way the engineering he dabbles in can be - AI don't just react to stimuli in a formulaic way, after all. Properly speaking, they're people, with different operating systems. Literally.
It's all the more impressive, Papyrus finds himself musing, that Alphys, working independently of human research - presumably relying on works of fiction like they're describing - was able to put Mettaton together.
(Of course, that's a little bit of an exaggeration. Mettaton's situation is both simpler and more complicated than that. But nobody here necessarily knows that, nor needs to know.)
He sidles out toward the end, his schedule delayed by this little detour, all the better to rush out before the panel starts streaming back into the already-crowded halls.]
I am assuming you mean Mettaton in that one line. XD
Webmind gets a fierce round of applause when his part in the panel is announced, and that part of the panel goes smoothly...
But then it's downhill from there, so to speak. Because once the panel is over, there's people to visit.
And Webmind's not going to make anyone carry him! Papyrus may or may not notice when he leaves, but a fact becomes painfully obvious to the (one) world-wide beast as soon as he's out and about again:
There are no escalators.]
