Might as well get it out

After what you just pulled on me, you really want me to just talk to you, because you're bored at work and you feel bad about what was done?

Okay. Fine. Let's talk. Let's talk about just how absolutely fragged up this is that I warned you against taking me from that world to begin with and we both know good and well exactly why I did. You knew it was a bad idea; I knew it was a bad idea. While I'll grant you that the one person I was concerned about most after my leaving will still be able to keep in contact with me - and don't get me wrong, that thrills me beyond anything - what good is this going to do me in my world, or in any world, for that matter? You sent me there for a second chance and I tried my hardest not to waste that, but you're backing me into a corner with this move. I need to be somewhere, I need to be doing something and if you keep me locked away like this, I'm going to go crazy.

... And listen. I know you've had a hard time of things yourself lately, so I'm not going to be mad at you forever, but I need to go back. Give yourself time, get through what you have to get through, but let me go back when you're centered again.

Oh dear... There appears to be a great deal of enmity between you and your mundane at the moment. I am afraid I haven't much experience in mediating disputes; however, I am willing to grant you my assistance, should you have need of it.

[There's a face he hasn't seen in a long, long time.]

That would be greatly appreciated, but we'll be okay in some time, though I couldn't tell you how long. Never can tell with these things. My mun and I are generally on good terms, but we're just having another argument again. I haven't seen you out there in any of the other worlds I've been to, so I don't know if that's anything you're familiar with or not, or if you've even seen it, but I can tell you stories.

Anyway, it's good to see you, Perceptor. How have things been for you in all of this?

Ah, I see. I suppose I am fortunate in that respect, as my mundane and I have enjoyed a fairly pleasant relationship thus far. Though, this may have less to do with our compatibility, and more to do with the the fact that our relationship is in its infancy.

[Which is a fancy way of saying he's a new muse, and his mun hasn't done anything aggravating to him yet.]

I believe this answers your inquiry, however, I will reiterate for the sake of clarity: I am fairing quite well, and the relationship between my Mundane and I is a stable one.

[Keep with him or her long enough and you'll start to think otherwise, one day, maybe. We'll see.]

You've been a lucky one, then. I've known bots who were worse off and I've known bots who were better off than this. At least here, it works both ways, and just as much as she gets to me, I get right back to her. Hopefully, yours will be the same or better. I may know her already, I may not. Or is it a him? Perhaps an it? Actually, I've never met anything other than a female mun.

Unusual. How are there so many if most of them are female, I wonder?

[That will most likely be the case, yes. ~~This mun regrets nothing.~~]

Ah, yes, your assumption is correct. My mundane is indeed female---as are most mundanes, from what I have gathered. After a brief cursory evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that "Role-playing" is an avocation enjoyed primarily by females, despite it not being a gender-specific activity.

As for your question, agent Blurr, the answer is quite simple: unlike on Cybertron, Earth's population has a balanced gender-ratio.

[Yep, it's not one female for every twenty males, like it is back home.]

[Best of luck then, bot. You'll need it.]

Are there? Of all things my mun and I ever discussed, we never brought up many aspects of her own world. That only ever seemed to come up when I was introduced to other muns, but not quite so often as I might have liked. Most of those encounters were spent focusing on the other person in the area at the time, who wasn't always a mun. My mun likes to place me in "what if" scenarios and let me work through situations with other people from different worlds. How are things with your mun? Something the same, out of place?

Ah, I see. I have yet to participate in any such experiences thus far, as my mundane is rather hesitant to allow me to interact with other 'muses', as we are so called.

I believe this hesitance is primarily caused by a lack of confidence in her ability to accurately portray my personage, as she believes that she is neither knowledgeable enough nor in possession of an extensive enough vocabulary to properly depict a person of my intelligence.

[Which is true, because Percy is smarter than just about every human in existence.]

[That'll get a head tilt from him.] I don't see why. You look and sound and act like you to me, from what I've seen of you, when I have. Maybe it's just that she's a shy mundane. That could be possible, given the number of them that I've known in my short time - and I'll confess, it has been short. Maybe a year or two at best in their means.

Speaking of time, how long have you known this mun? You said not long, but has it been months? Days? Years?

Blurr?

Blurr!

[Have a very happy to see you fox doing her best to hug you... Even if the size difference makes it very awkward.]

[ohaythar laydee! He hasn't seen you since... Well, since he was ripped from his home. How the hell are you?]

[Don't mind that size difference. He'll just crouch down to get luvvs.] Marian! Primus, I thought I might not see you again! How are you? How are things back in Nautilus?

I...

[Well, Marian is just going to cling to you for all she's worth. She misses you a lot, and the only way you're going to get her to let go is either by prying her off, or picking her up...]

...I missed you...

[Have an awkward silence and a tighter hug.]

I... I'm... managing.... [Why yes, she is avoiding talking about her lack of sleep, nightmares and anything to do with Nautilus... Can you tell?]

[Don't mind him, he's just gonna offer out both servos to pull you up to his chest to cuddle. He has missed you, and he can tell by that snug that you're not telling him everything.]

I've missed you, too. What can I say? Things haven't been the same since I was made to leave home, but I don't think they will be until I can go back. But what about you? What have you been up to? You don't seem too thrilled with life, if you don't mind my saying so.

[Mind? Not at all... In fact she'll take that offer and snuggle up as close as she can get.]

I... I've been... trying to make myself useful...

[Have a couple of sniffles... and a watery smile]

...Skyfire and Orihime are missing... everyone has been having problems sleeping because of nightmares... Someone named Wing has gone and Drift is blaming himself... I can't find... I... it's not a very good time there right now...

[Another small sniffle and a guilty look. She really didn't want to tell him all of that... but once she started... she just couldn't stop... Marian is also upset that in game, she hasn't quite figured out that Blurr is gone yet...]

[Oh... He didn't know she didn't know he was gone. And nightmares, and Wing is gone too? Primus.]

[But so long as she's snuggling up to him, he'll just sit himself back against the wall and play Protective Guard Bot.]

Aww, Marian. I'm so sorry. I wish I could be there to help you out. You know I would if I could. But listen, you can stay here with me as long as you need to and at least for now, we'll just try to make it better for you. What do you say to that, hm?

[Now she feels guilty about dumping all that on him...]

I know you would... [another sniffle] ... as much as I want you there... part of me is glad you're not there for this... [Because after that nightmare with Skyfire in it... Well, she wouldn't wish something like that on anyone.]

[Marian just nods and is going to stay like that as long as he'll let her... she misses getting cuddles...]

Thank-you... [and now trying to look on the bright side] ... at least we can spend time together here...

[Don't worry about it. It'll always be easier trying to fix someone else's problems than it is his own, and even if he can't touch yours right now, this is helping both of them just to be there.]

Yes, we can, and I'm going to keep you here as long as I can to keep you away from that mess. How about that? Time doesn't move the same here as it does in the city. I've already figured that much out. When you go back, it'll be as though you never left, like what happens when you go back home from Nautilus.

[She just tries to snuggle closer and nods]

I... just wish I knew what was going on... everything is so...

[Marian sighs then gets very quiet, because she doesn't know how or even if it works like that...]

...I haven't been home yet... I've thought about it... but...

[A shake of the head and an apologetic look as she tries to hide a yawn.]

Sorry... I guess I'm not very good company right now...

[He isn't one of the biggest of his kind by far, but there's still a lot of armor there to snuggle up against! Besides, lookit that servo he's gonna bring up to rub on your back. Isn't that awesome?]

[Also... Dem dim optics.]

I don't blame you. I wasn't exactly thrilled when I left Nautilus either. It isn't good to hear that things haven't been getting better there, but I think we all knew that was coming. [Oh, don't try to hide that yawn. Not while you're this close to him. He can see you're worrying yourself to exhaustion.]

Listen, Marian. I know I can't do much for you back home, but if it helps, I'll be glad to let you take a nap here if you want. Really, I don't mind at all. I'll keep you safe while you sleep and hopefully you'll feel better once you're rested.

[It doesn't hurt that she is kind of on the small side too, so even more space. That back rubbing really helps calm her down... but gets another yawn out of her too.]

Oh... but... that... [and her eyes are starting to drift shut] wouldn't be... pr... [oops... looks like she's gone and fallen asleep...]

[Marian will likely be quite embarrassed when she wakes up... but right now? She's just going to snuggle up and cling to you in her sleep.]

[Hey, the smaller, the better, because the easier it will be for him to keep you warm and therefore, in sleep longer. Poor little lady looks like she really needs it. So while you're asleep, he'll just cradle you there and watch over you and... if he goes into a light doze with you there on him, don't mind.]

[Marian is just going to snuggle and snooze because she really does need the rest. She makes the occasional sob or whimper in her sleep, but... It would seem that having someone else there, does seem to chase away the nightmares... So she'll stay like that as long as Blurr will let her sleep.]
