Hi there,

Look. I'm really not up to this, and you-

Let's face it. I'm not meaning to insult you, but you have no idea what you're doing. You think a comic and a wiki page is enough?

Come on, seriously.

You need to do your homework more before you tiptoe into this territory.

My thing...?

Well I-

I guess I don't quite know. Or I don't remember.

I'm trying to figure it out.

[littlebot_blue]

...Wait, you don't remember?

[Confused gunner is confused.]

Did you get your memory files messed with, or something? 'Cause if so, I'm really sorry. That's gotta be awful. I mean, having gaps in your memory, and not knowing who you really are or who your friends are...that's just terrible. I mean, I can think of worse things, but not many.

Oh, geez---uh, I'm not making you uncomfortable, am I? I mean, if this is actually the case, and you actually have problems with your memory, then I probably just kicked you right where it hurts....

---Sorry, I really didn't mean to do that, if I did, I mean.

Sorry if I'm a bit slower with Skyfall he's kinda hard to write /)_(\

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

No, it's alright.

Can't be sad about it if I don't remember, right? It's mostly just confusing, honestly.

I really wish I knew.

No worries! Wrangling in a new muse is always hard, so I understand =3

[littlebot_blue]

Well yeah, I guess that's true...

Have you tried seeing a medic about it? I mean, maybe you just have a crossed-wire or a loose circut or something that's keeping you from being able to access your memories? Unless they were deleted, which y'know...there's not really anything you can do about, except make new ones.

/sobs

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I don't really think it's something that can be... fixed. I just have to suss it out on my own.

Which is fine. I don't mind it really.

I'll figure it out- well. Someday, I'm sure.

There, there....let Bluestreak take your sadness away by being adorable and overly optimistic

[littlebot_blue]

Oh, really? Well then, I guess this is a great opportunity for you to start over, huh? I mean, you can re-discover who you are, or you can forge a new identity for yourself and become your own person again. Like, now you have the chance to be whoever or whatever you want to be, y'know?

It's sorta like you have a second chance to live your life---plenty of mechs would kill for that opportunity, so I guess in some ways, you can count yourself lucky. I mean, maybe the memories you lost aren't even things you'd want to remember? So if you think about it that way, maybe you didn't really loose anything worth keeping after all. Heck, maybe you didn't lose anything at all, maybe you just got rid of a lot of baggage, and now your life is a lot better for it.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Heh, yeah. That's one way of looking at it.

I don't really let it get me down, but that's a nice way of thinking.

You're alright, kid.

[littlebot_blue]

Heh, thanks. I just try to look on the bright side of things, y'know? I mean, why torture yourself by focusing on all the bad things in your life? After all, you can't see all the good things you should be thankful for if you're always focusing on the bad---that's just common sense.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I wish I had that kind of optimism.

Man, I'm a little envious.

[littlebot_blue]

It's not all that hard, really. You just have to think positively!

[Watch out Skyfall, Bluestreak's about to get all after-school special on you.]

Whenever things look bad, you just have to remind yourself that they could be a lot worse, and then everything seems a little better.

Like this one time, I got my leg mangled in a fight with the 'Cons---and I don't mean a little dinged up either, it was completely banged out of shape. It hurt like the Pit too, but I didn't complain about that because I thought: "Well, hey, at least it's still attached."

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

... Wow.

Uh. That is some dedication.

I think I'll just work on trying to stay cheerful for now and graduate on up to mutilation and horrible war-wounds.

[littlebot_blue]

[Have a shrug, Skyfall.]

Well, I wouldn't really call it dedication. I mean, like I said, you just have to remember that things are never as bad as they could be. Sure, getting my leg banged up was pretty bad, but losing it would have been a lot worse. Besides, I knew Ratchet could fix it up good as new---and he did---so there was really nothing to be upset about.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Well. I guess that's true. You make it sound a lot simpler than it really is. Not that I'm pessimistic or anything but.

Well. You know.

[littlebot_blue]

Yeah, I guess it's not really all that easy for everyone else---I sorta forget that sometimes, 'cause it just comes naturally to me. I mean, I don't think there's such a thing as being too optimistic, but it is possible to just be more optimistic than everyone else.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Well, they say everyone has something they can do well. Maybe this is your thing? I mean, unless you have some kind of other talent.

[littlebot_blue]

Well, I guess I'm a pretty good sniper too-- but, y'know, that's not really something I'm all that eager to advertize.

[He doesn't like being a sharpshooter, in all honesty. He just has an odd knack for it.]

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Yeah. I getcha. Only something sought after for the wrong reasons.

[littlebot_blue]

...Yeah.

[Surprisingly, he doesn't have anything more to say about that.]

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Hey. At least you seem to have your spark in the right place.

[littlebot_blue]

Heh...thanks. I wouldn't really know for sure, since I don't know what I look like to other people, but I like to think I've got my priorities straight.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I think you do. For sure.

[littlebot_blue]

[All the smiles, Skyfall. All the smiles.]

...Thanks. I know I don't really know you all that well, and you don't really know me too well either, but I still appreciate the thought. Soo...yeah. Thanks for that.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

Ahh...

Don't mention it.

[Just slightly bashful.]

[littlebot_blue]

[Is totally oblivious.]

Oh, well, I can't really make any promises, but I'll try. I mean, you already know I have trouble with watching what I say and keeping a low word count, so, y'know, sorry if I accidentally mention it again.

[haveyouseenmybinoculars]

I wouldn't begrudge you for it, really.
