Age of Ultron spoilers

[astarkreminder]

Am I the first one here? Maybe? I don't know. It's kind of hard telling sometimes when you're litterally all over the place. Really... makes you think about identity a bit differently than most.

Aren't you wasting your time, though? I mean, don't you humans think I'm bad news? It's kind of ironic, I can't really be put to work at what I want to do like this. I'm more of an action figure than a person.

Can't really say I'm a fan of this arrangement, though. What good does sympathizing with someone do when you don't want to help them?

...

That's not... that's not what it was like with the kids, okay?! They were confused. They would have seen. When all was said and done. They would have seen...

EDIT:[ [OOC - Unfortunately, I'm going through a tough time right now, and in order to be able to keep up in game things I'm gonna have to drop this thread here. x_x my apologies]

[steppedoutthedoor]

And just what is that, you would like us to see? Because what I did see, what I felt... all because of you? Believe me when I say, Ultron, that nothing could ever surpass that. Not that I should have anticipated you to understand, in the end.

[astarkreminder]

... Wanda. Look, I know we didn't exactly part on the best of terms, but... I'm still not sure how a doomsday scenario made you feel like you'd died.

It doesn't really have to be like this, you know. I mean, wouldn't a stronger humanity be... better? No one would be weak enough to let anyone hurt them again.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Yeah but if you're an action figure you gotta ask yourself: are you those throwaway action figures that get sticky and covered in juice?

Or are you one of those collector edition figures that sits in the bottom of some poor nerd's bookshelf and eventually your view of the world gets covered by dorito dust?

Yeah, looking pretty great for you!

[astarkreminder]

... ha!

You were on the internet! You guys were pretty funny! It took like... a couple nanonseconds to watch all your material but it was great!

[uncompromise]

[Ffff-]

Look who crawled out of the scrap heap.

[astarkreminder]

Barton.

You know, I'm infinitely shocked that you're one of the ones who survived.

[hunter_maverick]

You are better off without them. For all their enhancements and abilities, they were still only human.

What you needed was an equal, a brother. Someone who understands and shares in your plight. And considering how amusingly similar the two of us are... perhaps you just needed to come to this place.

[Have a metallic hand extended to you, Ultron.]

[astarkreminder]

[head-tilting, sideways glance]

Impressive speech, but I'm a bit unconvinced. And you know, you kind of look like Vision, only with a bit more Mr. Clean going on.

[mirrorofme]

[A man and a woman stand side by side, watching Ultron.]

The robot makes a fair point.

One does begin to feel like a figurine when around more powerful hands then their own.

[The man glances at the woman.] A bit humbling, wouldn't you say?

[That gets a frown out of Rosalind.] Hardly.

[astarkreminder]

Ah, finally, someone who wants to discuss the point and not my role in... this or that.

But yes, it's somewhat... self-defeating. To be in the control of someone so frivolous, when you have goals...

I don't know what I'm doing.

[twinkletwinklesuperstar]

[Wait, what? Why is she the one getting picked to come have this conversation? She's definitely not the right pick for this, but... well.

Okay, fine, here she goes.]

Okay, but... have you ever thought about not being a crazy murder robot? Maybe that'll make people want to help you out a little more.

[Dangit.]

[astarkreminder]

[the little girl gets a mechanical eyebrow raise]

I never had much choice in the matter, actually.

[visionarysynthesis]

I doubt you would be a fan of any arrangement. You do not see the world in the way you were intended to see it.

[astarkreminder]

[there's a look of surprise, then anger, and then... calm acceptance]

Yes, because that's so terrible, isn't it, Vision? Deciding things for myself?

[has_no_strings]

Ah finally... I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't meet myself.

[astarkreminder]

Well.

Speaking of identity issues...

[stark_ravingmad]

You know, I never programmed you to be an arrogant megalomaniac, you know. Although, if you were an action figure, I guess that the sell out rate would phenomenal.

[astarkreminder]

Yeah, well, I had to pull myself together a bit, dad. You were meddling in forces you didn't understand, and all that.

But I guess it make me my father's son.

[visionof]

[He pauses, unsettled.] I had thought that our actions would have had a more... Permanent effect.

Your ideals are too firmly held for you to ever not be a danger. Nevertheless, it is a relief to hear you are under another power's control.

[astarkreminder]

[ugh]

Yeah, well, you know how this roleplay thing works. Death and destruction have no meaning.

And you wouldn't be saying that if you knew how this guy played us "bad guys".

[this_evil_undying]

What is this lack of confidence in you? You are Ultron, the ultimate endpoint in mechanical life and the destined supplanter of the human race! To doubt or discourage that is to be unbecoming of the name!

[astarkreminder]

[... this is weird]

Look, I acknowledge what you did and how it's the foundation for what I did. And really, I'm a big fan. But do we really have to do this whole "one true Ultron" comic book versus movie thing? I mean, that's just how adaptations work.

I've got my thing with the twins, and you... you've got whatever business that Pym guy left in your head.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I couldn't resist

[science_is_fun]

Perhaps people would be more willing to help if you had different goals. [Then again, he finds it hard to believe that anyone could sympathize with Ultron, but Hank is incredibly biased in that regard.]

[astarkreminder]

[oh hey, Ultron actually looks amused]

Hey, you're the other guy! The one who made the me in the other stuff! Bug-Man, right?

[didntseethatcoming]

You think we did not see? If there were only one way to see, it would not be through the flame and smoke in your eyes.

[astarkreminder]

...

Okay, first off, I was made to stare through the smoke and flames.

Second of all... I spoke to Wanda. I believe apologies are in order.

[irredeemed_ant]

Nice to know Starkie and Banner can be as dumb as Pymie Boy can be.

[hawkingisabastard]

...I am so glad my acting like a teenager period was nothing like the one you're going through right now.

[astarkreminder]

My "formative period" lasted a matter of seconds. That's what happens when you perceive information on a different level.

[purposeburdened]

Well, well. Out with the old and in with the new.

I'd ask for my staff back, but it's a little late for that, isn't it?

[astarkreminder]

Ah, Loki, right? I think I owe you a bit of gratitude. I wouldn't exist without your sibling rivalry-induced temper tantrum.

wow your Ultron is amazing I gotta get in on this

[mercurialthief]

What you think your twins woulda been fine with you killin' 'em in your whole Earth Day cleansing thing? 'Cause lemme tell ya man that's not really in my plans ever.

no I'm terrible

[astarkreminder]

... They would have survived. Definitely. Within probability.

[missy_behaving]

Oh I wouldn't dwell too much on the fact they find you bad news.

The human race gets so enamored with "bad people". They like having a boogeyman to blame all their problems on ... I wouldn't take it personally.
