Open!
Who: Fiddleford McGucket, a giant robot, and you -- if you're in Team Rocket, that is.
Where: A large workroom deep underground in the Goldenrod base
When: February 1st-February 13!
Summary: The wages of sin is an improved workspace. The Rocket higher-ups have given McGucket an official directive to build them more robots and the tools and materials to do it. Come see this dirty toothless shoeless genius at work! He's always delighted to have company.
Rating: PG, probably? Is Gravity Falls really ever PG?
McGucket's never had a lab like this.
He's used to piecing his creations together with whatever's available. Even the Gideonbot, with Li'l Gideon's Tent of Telepathy profits backing him, had been made out in the open, and more parts had been scrounged from the junkyard than Li'l Gideon knew.
This is -- this is cavernous. Part warehouse, part lab, part garage, and full of tools the likes of which McGucket's never seen. He's been told in no in certain terms that if there's anything else he needs, all he has to do is ask, and Team Rocket will acquire it.
He picks up a blowtorch. He's a simple man of simple needs.
Anyone wandering around the lower levels of the base will hear loud hammering, the shriek of metal, the grinding of colossal gears, and banjo music. Follow it to the source, and you will find an open door leading to a huge underground room, riddled with cables and catwalks and hydraulic lifts. On the far end of the room, suspended and colossal, is the slowly-growing frame of a metal sea-beast. If you look closely and you're a good guesser, you might recognize the silhouette of a Tentacruel.
If you look even closer, you'll see a spindly man clinging to its underside, his welding mask lit up by the blowtorch in his hands. Come close enough, and he'll notice you, switching the tool off and lifting the mask up off his face with a facesplitting grin.
"Gyeh heh! Been workin' on this robutt so long I almost didn't see I had a visitor! Just a sec."
And, unless you stop him, McGucket shimmies down one of the long cables that dangle from the Tentacruel's frame. If you haven't met him before, brace yourself: he is very old, very smelly, and very friendly.
[OOC note: prose and action are both fine!]

no subject
He leans in, shielding his mouth with his hand, and whispers loudly: "The secret ingredient is apricorns!"
For a secret ingredient, that sure is a noisy whisper -- and he sure is willing to tell people about it.
no subject
"Have you tested it in water yet? Do you know how much pressure it can handle?"
He wondered if this thing even had gauges. Sometimes common sense things fell to the wayside of.. ... genius.
