Excerpt: There's a little black spot on the sun of the planet that they're visiting today, and Marvin ponders it laconically.

There's a little black spot on the sun of the planet that they're visiting today, and Marvin ponders it laconically; he does the calculations but the chances that it will cause a solar emergency and kill them all are depressingly low.

"Marvin, we need you!" Trillian says, only pausing a second before rolling her eyes and continuing, "No lip!"

"I don't have any lips," he informs her primly, before rising heavily and walking slowly toward her, glancing back momentarily at the disappointing sun-- unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

I like laconic people, even though I'm certainly not. Terse, concise, succinct ♥

Well, that's Marvin for you, heh.

It is. You have nailed his personality down. Don't need to ramble on and on with a lengthy fic.
