Our boy Robert doesnāt really laugh too much throughout the game. The only time we really see him laugh is with Chase. I was wondering do you have any scenarios of what could get him to have a genuine belly laugh? I just wanna see our boy have a good time :)
Honestly I canāt think of many scenarios that would get him laughing like that. More like..people. And others in the game HAVE made Robert laugh but thereās only one that comes to mind right now.
So the first up is obviously Chase. Heās the person who can get Robert to laugh the hardest more often and itās a little more easy for him. He usually just has to bitch about things or get after Robert or mess with him and Robertās laughing. And just..one day he gets Robert to laugh HARD. And Chase doesnāt even know WHAT he did but he hasnāt heard Robert laugh like this since before the incident at the Barbecue. Robert is starting to wheeze a little and heās just laugh. And why? Cause..he MISSED this. He really did. Despite him becoming jaded as hell, just something about Chaseās words hit him right and heās a stupid kid again, laughing at his big brother figure.
The only other person to make Robert laugh (not much) that I personally know of is Waterboy (I apologize for being a simp and no Iām not trying to make this watermech despite me loving that ship so much). When Waterboy is cleaning up Robertās desk he says heās the helpful janitor and Robert laughs a tiny bit. I will admit..it might just a polite laugh. But then Iām the showers if you pick waterboy, he says āIām just..Jizzed to join you!ā And Robert laughs and says āJazzed! The word is jazzed.ā So..I think waterboy is a possible contender.
So I can see waterboy doing or saying things that get Robert to laugh a little bit and itās like, never intentional. So the moment definitely isnāt Waterboy TRYING to get Robert to laugh. This moment is when Waterboy, annoyed by Z team shenanigans and stuff, says something absolutely sassy, sarcastic and SCATHING for the first time. Theyāre all in the break room and Robert was just trying to drink his coffee. So when the meanest comment Waterboy has ever made so far (and itās not even that mean compared to everyone else) Robert has a spit take and heās bewildered and laughing HARD. Waterboy is just glaring at them and the Z Team doesnāt know if they should be offended or PROUD but they are in agreement of telling Robert to STOP laughing.
Robert canāt help it. Waterboy is the sunshine of the Z Team and itās kinda funny seeing the sunshine of the team telling everyone to go fuck themselves (itās not what he said).
And now weāve come to the third personā¦and itās a curve ball. Are you ready?
If I remember correctly, Galen does comedy in his free time? And heās kinda dry but..not? So I can see him getting Robert to crack somehow. I donāt know why but I can SEE IT.
So the Z Team see Galen talking with Robert and theyāre chatting for a bit before suddenly Robert is laughing HARD. Heās WHEEZING and he has to turn away from Galen cause FUCK. Heās so embarrassed Galen got him this much. The team canāt see Roberts face but one, theyāre certain heās teary eyed and two, theyāre..kinda scared cause theyāve NEVER seen Robert laugh this hard before.
And then five minutes later heās back to deadpan, nonchalant Robert.
