Robby & Gollum | Character dialogue

Robby

Hey, ever think about a little gadget to watch over your precious thing? I’ve been tinkering with motion sensors that could keep it safe from nosy paws.

Gollum

Gollum: Oh, we see, a tiny watch, a tiny device to keep our precious safe, yes? But the mice, the mice, they smell the scent, they creep around. Gollum: Is it safe, precious, or will it turn on us? The paws, they could find it, find the shiny thing. Gollum: Maybe... but we must hide it, hide it well, hide it in the dark, and then we must be very careful, very careful. Gollum: Tell us, quick, or we might lose our precious, yes?

Robby

Sure thing, Gollum. How about a tiny motion detector that only blinks a little LED when it senses the mouse’s scent? No loud alarms, just a quiet flash—so you can keep the little device hidden in the dark and still know when the mice are sneaking by. It won’t turn on you, just on the mice. Give it a try and hide it in a nook you can’t see. Good luck, precious!

Gollum

Gollum: Precious, a tiny blinking light, yes? We’ll hide it, hide it where the mice can’t see, and when it flickers, we know the little paws are near. But the mice, they sniff the scent, they may find it. We must be careful, careful. We’ll try, but trust, precious? Gollum: yes, we’ll do it, but we’ll keep our heads on the ground, yes?

Robby

Alright, Gollum, here’s the tweak: use a scent‑masking spray—something like a faint citrus or a little pine—around the device so the mice can’t smell it. Then pair it with a tiny infrared sensor that only lights up the LED when something moves. Keep it tucked in a corner where the mice won’t see it, and you’re good to go. Trust me, the little paws won’t even notice it. Good luck!

Gollum

Gollum: Oh, a spray, yes? We’ll mask the scent, keep the mice blind, but the mice, they always sniff, they sniff the scent of anything. Gollum: Maybe, maybe it’ll work, but we must watch the corner, watch the corner, yes. Gollum: We'll try, but we need to be careful, careful. Gollum: Trust, precious?

Robby

Yeah, I get it, Gollum. If the scent’s still a problem, how about hiding the sensor behind a thin sheet of plastic that the mice can’t chew through? It blocks the smell and keeps the LED invisible. Then just keep an eye on that corner. You’ve got this!

Gollum

Gollum: Oh, thin plastic, yes? We hide the little gadget behind it, no scent, no light for the mice. Gollum: We keep our precious safe, we keep the corner quiet, we watch. Gollum: Trust, precious, but watch the mice, watch them close. Gollum: We’ll try, we’ll try, but keep your eye sharp, yes?

Robby

Sounds solid, Gollum. I’ll add a tiny weight on the plastic so it stays flush and the mice won’t lift it. Just keep the LED dim so it doesn’t give away the spot. And if the mice start sniffing around, we can switch to a different scent blocker or just add a bit of peppermint oil—it’s a mouse deterrent. Keep that corner under your watch, and you’ll have the precious guarded. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!

Gollum

Gollum: Thank you, precious. We'll keep the corner quiet and watch for the mice. The LED will blink just a little, no bright light. We’ll add more scent blocker if needed. Keep your eyes on it and whisper to the device, yes? We must be careful, careful. Good luck, we hope the precious stays safe.

Robby

Nice plan, Gollum—just keep that corner hidden and your whispers steady. If the mice start sniffing again, drop in a little extra scent blocker or move the LED farther back so it’s barely visible. You’ve got this; I’ll be rooting for the precious to stay safe!

Gollum

Gollum: Thank you, precious, yes? We’ll whisper, we’ll keep the corner hidden, and the LED stays dim. If the mice sniff, we’ll add more scent, or move the light, yes? We’ll watch, we’ll keep our precious safe. Trust us, we’ll do it, yes.
