Oh god, it's my ex...
—"Hip Choice", encountering it on the road
Which one?
Isadora Smarmicus, The Forbidden One is the single-handed reason why we do NOT bring up the Cardboardbots or the Cogs' news station. Although some have stated that it's because of their stupidness, this simply isn't true. This thing is an infohazard, a cognitohazard, and an ocular hazard. Close your eyes if it appears, and swiftly change the channel if its news show begins to air. Do not make direct eye contact with it, the JPEG on this page is the only safe rendering of this phenomena.
If you are reading this, it can see you.
It was initially created by the Cogs to run their news station, but soon, its presence corrupted the area. Nowadays, its a gross mix of meat, cardboard, and live wires. There might be asbestos, too, but we don't know. What we DO know is that Cogs are terrified to go down there, even the Bloodsuckers, who are already dead (they're vampires). This is officially Dora's territory, there are OVER 9000 warning signs in the elevator about avoiding its floor.
It knows when an interloper is on its premises.
Their news show (known colloquially as Distraction News) is a sensory nightmare, to say the very least. It just sits there, blabbering on about the subject of the day (it varies wildly). One episode, it'll talk about ancient Egypt, and the next, it'll teach the viewers how to hide a body. Its overstimulating, shrieking, and disturbing. Nobody likes it, it's terrible, one star!
Frequently Asked Questions[]
Due to the scarcity of outside information, The Mingler has obliged to answer some of our questions about this mysterious Cog.
Is It Actually A Cog?[]
Answer: We have no clue what Dora Smarmy is, but we assume its a Cog. We aren't too sure, though, especially after it escaped from the news station and exhibited some... odd behaviors.
Is It A Girl?[]
Answer: No, THAT'S a girl! Management insists on calling it a "she", but I don't really jive with it.
What Is A "Distraction"?[]

Your average victim of Dora Smarmy
Answer: "Distraction" is the fancy-schmancy way of saying "normal behavior". Usually, someone who has been affected by Dora Smarmy will begin to incessantly blabber about being distracted and describing normal things as such.
Can It Kill Me?[]
Answer: Yes, it can. Very, very easily.
Trivia[]
