The Hydrant

From Jenny Everywhere Wiki
Revision as of 23:57, 14 May 2022 by Angela (talk | contribs)

The Hydrant, or Fred to his (few) friends, was an irritable but hyper-competent robot and the steadfast assistant of the dog-like alien ambassador Talbot Molossus. Though aware of the obvious joke about a dog and a fire hydrant, both considered it highly offensive whenever people brought it up in their presence. Jenny Over-There thought the Hydrant sounded somewhat like Gilbert Gottfried.

Talbot was one of the candidates invited to a job interview at the Wales M.F.S. office in one universe by the Man in Grey. The interview saw some friction regarding the aforementioned fire-hydrant jokes, as well as him insisting on not being separated from Fred even though candidates were supposed to be evaluated individually; in frustration, Talbot ended up tossing the Hydrant out the window, to the surprise of the onlookers, who were not aware of quite how indestructible the Hydrant really was. In the end, Talbot and Fred still ended up on the final roster of people whom the Man in Grey vetted to staff the new M.F.S. office in Scotland, alongside 0000-8888888 and Doctor Know-It-All.
