Note: This ficlet was written for madamehardy, in response to the prompt: Dirk, Dave, Second Triennial Human-Troll Flashstep Competition. It obviously refers back to Things To Do Post-Sburb When You're Bored, in which Rose and Dave discuss the first triennial human-troll flashstepping competition. (150 words)

"No," Dave said, raising his hands with his index fingers crossed in an only semi-ironic warding gesture. "That got way too crazy last time, and I am not nearly bored enough to make a repeat sound like a good idea."
"I completely agree with you about the crazy," Dirk said, "which is why I wanted to talk about some proposed structural changes. Namely, robots."
Dave blinked at his brother, trying to process what the hell train of thought might have led to that combination of words coming out of Dirk's mouth at freaking six thirty in the morning. Then he decided he didn't care.
"I officially disclaim all affiliation with whatever insanity you create," he said. "Also, go talk to Jade and remember that if you build an invincible robot army, they'll probably turn on you first."
He shut his bedroom door in Dirk's face and collapsed back into bed with the sense of disaster timely dodged.
