Robby & Gollum
Robby 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
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?

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
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?

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: 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?

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!
