On harems and silliness

[drillsforhands]

Yanno mun...

As fun as the idea is, what the hell would I do with a lady harem? It's not like they can fight better than me, or do anything I can't do myself.

And well the other reason for a harem I can't do anyways.

So yeah. Don't see why you want me to get one.

You're like a walking innuendo, of course you should be surrounded by women. *eyeroll*

[drillsforhands]

How am I walking innuendo.

[badluckbabe]

I meant phallic symbol, but my mun's brain is full of fail right now so I had to smack him around some.

[drillsforhands]

And I still don't get it.

[residualforce]

Maybe your image is lacking.

[drillsforhands]

... what.

[residualforce]

Your image. You know, your credentials. Street cred.

Aren't harems supposed to be status symbols?

[drillsforhands]

I... guess?

My mun just says it in regards to all the girl friends I end up making.

[residualforce]

Then maybe she's trying to capitalize on their presence to make you look better to the humans around you, since you aren't doing that yourself or something.

But you might want to be careful about that, because sometimes they think they opposite.

[drillsforhands]

Nah, I know it's not that. It's never that reason when it comes to my mun.

... Oh no, they wouldn't. Cause they all know I can't do that and I've got someone already too.

[residualforce]

I guess. That would probably be too logical muns, anyway. It was just an idea.

I meant there's a stigma attached to beings going by the male gendered pronoun being friends with mostly people going by a female gendered pronoun. Either they're highly regarded, or they're viewed as weak.

[scrapyard workers were probably not the best people to learn about humanity from, but hey.]

[drillsforhands]

Oh... that's a load of crap. Anyone who thinks I'm weak is stupid.

[hey, not like a demolitions 'bot is any better.]

[residualforce]

I'm just saying they might. Why do you want to be friends with so many humans, anyway?

[drillsforhands]

Because there's nothing else to hang out with. There's Quick, and Metal and well... Shadow, who is a butt.

[Oh yeah, he went there. And he's not even mentioning the Lightbots.]

[residualforce]

Shadow's a brat and hard to get along with, but he's not human. Isn't Quick supposed to be your best friend, anyway? Not that I can blame you for getting tired of him every now and then, I guess...

[drillsforhands]

Thing is, they're the only ones who are robots that I can hang around with. And yeah, Quick is awesome, but we both need time to ourselves yanno?

[residualforce]

But how does it work? I spent a lot of time around humans before Wily revealed us, but I wasn't friends with them.

Wouldn't you being built to take them over cause problems?

[drillsforhands]

The few friends I do have know about all that. One of 'em thinks I can stop blowing stuff up and having fun and all that boring stuff.

[shrug] Some of them think I'm a good guy, even after knowing what I do.

[residualforce]

So they're only friends with you because they're stupid or masochistic?

[he probably said it that way on purpose.]

[drillsforhands]

Probably. Some of them even let me "train" them, when all I did was throw bombs at them!

[any insult there went riiiiight over Crash's head, Magnet.]

[residualforce]

To be fair, that's how some of us "train". Doesn't really help, though.

How do they count as friends, then? I mean, they're not like Quick, right? They sound more like...pets or something.

[drillsforhands]

Yeah, but we can be repaired if we blow up. Humans tend to just make a gross mess.

Nooo, none of them are like Quick. And pets is probably the right term but they'll get all pissy if you call them that.

[residualforce]

You're the worst pet owner ever.

[drillsforhands]

What, how? I haven't killed any of them!

[residualforce]

You threw bombs at them. That's not how you're supposed to treat pets. Try sticks or balls next time. Soft ones.
