DLN 006 - Bomb [Dictated/Action.]

Anyone care to explain where this pile of knitted scarves came from, or why my rooms covered in rust flakes? My internal clock is set a week ahead but it shouldn't have taken more than a few hours for me to sleep and recharge.

...If anyone wants a scarf, you'll find a box of them in the lobby in about ten minutes.

[Not too long after; Blues is carrying a box filled with yellow knitted scarves into the lobby and dropping it smack in the middle.]

[ooc: Off his loss.]

Correction: It's Rush, and I got my names goofed. That's what I get for not knowing Mega Man <_>

Heh, yeah.

[Evan's never been the wasteful sort, and considering that his best friend is currently a feral alien insect, he doesn't discriminate.]

I know a lot of people don't think of robots like that, but I've never really thought of them as anything but people. There was a robot back home called Ultimaton, that I guess was originally made to hunt people like me, but he was guarding the place I was born, he chose to help me, even knowing where I came from, who I was.

Pfft, don't sweat it, it happens.

[whistles_the_blues]

Hm, a good outlook to have.

Sounds like a real stand up machine. Where I'm from, I'm the most advanced machine, able to freely think and choose what to do on my own. Kind of like what how you described Ultimaton.

[kid_apocalypse]

My Uncle Cluster's the one who convinced him to look after me. He took a lot of bad things, and tried to make the best of them to make something good, I think. I think...he was trying to prove that there's hope for anyone, you know? Even someone who was created from the blood of a monster, like I was.

[whistles_the_blues]

And how do you feel about that?

[kid_apocalypse]

I wasn't sure how I felt for a while. I mean...I understand why he did it, but I didn't find out the truth about myself until a bad guy told me. The same bad guy who killed my uncle Cluster.

[whistles_the_blues]

I see. Did finding out the truth change what you wanted to do?

[kid_apocalypse]

I...it complicated things a little. I...I wanted revenge, you know? To make the people who'd killed uncle Cluster, who'd tried to make me do bad things pay for what they'd done, but...I couldn't do it. Any more than I could have killed them for hurting innocent people. I know it doesn't make sense, but...I wanna save people, but...I don't wanna hurt anyone, you know? I'm talking in circles now...

[whistles_the_blues]

It does make sense. There's a rule for machines where I'm from; Never harm a human unless it's to prevent further harm from being caused. It's not so different from that.

[Of course, he wasn't bound to that rule, but that wasn't important at the moment.]
