Troy's Work Table and The Child watched Castle in the Sky, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, a wonderful animated dreamscape-slash-adventure-story. The Child was scared by the robots, which was interesting since they are mostly peaceful, except in one scene where a damaged robot lays waste to a fortress and hundreds of soldiers. That specific (and mostly defensive) violence from one robot is tempered later in the tale by many sibling robots that live and tend the bucolic gardens of the castle in the sky.
TWT pretended to be such a robot two days later.

TWT to The Child:
"I'm a robot."
The Child to TWT:
"What? So, you're a robot that writes and drinks beer?
