DLN 005 - Ice [Action/Dictated/Forward dated to this evening]

[Protoman had shut down in the middle of the great escape attempt at Holly Peaks. When his systems came back on line it was easy to see he wasn't still in the retirement home. Had they actually managed to pull it off? His fragmented memory couldn't recall exactly how the event had ended, it was certainly possible. He had his freedom, that was all that mattered.

And what did he do with this freedom? He pulled his old and worn joints out of the room he was in and to the roof of the castle to watch the sun set. He sat against his white oval shield, the sun reflected through the cracked visor of his battered helmet. This felt right.]

As quaint as that place was, I prefer to be able to do as I please.

[ooc: Blues is still Protoman with Altered memories from Holly Peaks, feel free to bother him over journal or in person.]

Indeed. But are you really free? We're all trapped here, you know.

Weren't you staff at that facility, can't you just quit? That's hardly trapped.

[Yeah, he has no concept of Paradisa]

Ah... that. [Somewhere, he's laughing.] Yes, I suppose I could just quit, especially given that they weren't really paying me.

Fair enough reason to leave. Why were you even working for them in the first place if they refused to pay you?

Now that's an excellent question. I'm really not quite sure - but then, I'm used to not getting paid for my work, so that's no change.

I suppose. You may want to try looking for paying work in the future.

It seems to be surprisingly hard to find. Have you had luck with that?

I was never one to hold a job.

No? What did you do instead, then?

Usually what ever I want, occasionally I'm drawn to a battle or two.

Those don't pay that well - unless you're a mercenary, anyway.

Or if you don't have any use for money.

Are you rich, or was there just no need for money in your world?

Humans had a use for it, as a machine I didn't have much of a need for it though.

Don't machines need maintenance, at least? Or upgrades?
