An AU reboot of an original character

[media_resource]

So...

Mun? That's a stupid name, no really it is. Super stupid. ANYWAY.

Uh... I was gonna say something about how yer bein' dumb and stuff, but you already know that so no point in me saying it again. But I am gonna say this; you're not gonna find a place to play me at so stop getting the weird idea that you will.

[a beat.]

That and how you describe them "Persona" things makes 'em sound like brain worms, and who the heck wants brain worms?

"Mun" is a stupid name, isn't it? I think "Jackass" would be at least marginally better. [It's what Mirys calls hers, at least.]

Totally not sure if tempting fate's a good idea around here, though. Saying things like that's a pretty quick way of getting those morons moving, especially if you make it clear that you don't want to deal with whatever crap they feel like throwing your way.

[Pause.]

Brain worms? The hell?

[media_resource]

... I don't swear, buddy.

[And Jess will make a popping sound with her mouth.]

Chyeah, brain worms! They're like worms, but in your brain and they could give you powers an' stuff but I don't know cause that movie got way to gross for me to keep watchin, ya know?

[fonewearl]

[Doesn't swear, huh? Fair enough, so Mirys just shrugs. Being called "buddy" is a little unusual to her, though.]

How's that even supposed to work? I mean seriously, that sort of thing sounds more likely to do some serious damage rather than give any kind of special powers or whatever.

[whistles_the_blues]

Brain worms don't sound very appealing.

[media_resource]

Cyeah, I know. But my mun seems to be interested in the Persona-things.

[And because, technically, Jess' mun has a Blues in her brain space and well... dat hair, the girl just has to say something about it.] ... nice hair, duder.

[media_resource]

[There's also the fact that Jess is only thirteen which adds to the "not swearing" stuff.]

Heck if I know. The movie never explained it, at least from what parts I managed to see, ma'am.

[whistles_the_blues]

I've never heard of them. What do these worm things do?

[A compliment? How will poor Blues ever manage!?]

Uhmm Thanks. [A brief pause.] It's what I was built with.

[media_resource]

Give you special powers, mind powers. [She waggles her fingers when she says "mind powers"]

Built? ... What yer like a NetNavi or something like that?

[whistles_the_blues]

[Raises a brow when she waggles her fingers.]

Mind powers? So they can think super fast?

I've never heard of a NetNavi before so I don't think so... I'm an autonomous combat robot, or a Robot Master. I think that sounds a bit better.

[media_resource]

Noooo, like... powers with your mind.

[She cannot believe Blues has never seen a movie with things like that.]

NetNavi, or a Net Navigator. It's a program, really. Autonanimus or something like that. Everyone has 'em back home.

No robots tho.

[whistles_the_blues]

Oh sorry. I just haven't really seen anything like that before.

[Maybe Blues ran away right before movie night?]

So like an A.I. without a body? That seems like a waste.

[media_resource]

... Why would they need a body? They have the whole internet and all the computer systems everywhere to play in.

[The EXE world is an odd place man.]

[whistles_the_blues]

But can you go in there and play with them?

[media_resource]

No, cause I'm human.

[Duh.]

[whistles_the_blues]

Then if they had bodies they'd at least be able to come out and play with you.

[media_resource]

Why would I want that. Mine's just a tool for using computers and stuff.

[whistles_the_blues]

Maybe it would give it a chance to be more than "just a tool."

[media_resource]

Not... really.

Mine's not even a custom, it's just a straight outta the box basic one.

[whistles_the_blues]

Oh.

[He can only assume that means they're like most of the robots he's met in his world. Alive but bound to their programming.]

I just assumed when you said they played that they were all able to.

[media_resource]

They can, but it's usually because the NetOp is ordering them to. At least with the battles it's like that.

[whistles_the_blues]

So they don't really go and do things on their own then?

[media_resource]

Not ones that have a NetOp.

[whistles_the_blues]

Are there ones that don't? What about them?

[media_resource]

Heck if I know. Independent Navis tend to just be free roaming malware when you get down to it.

[aka Bad Guys]

[whistles_the_blues]

I see.

[a brief pause.]

These NetNavi's sound a lot like most of the robots from my world.

[at least the ones he's met so far.]

Very lifeless. [he just wants a robot pal.]

[media_resource]

I guess, I never thought about it much and mine is well... A nag.

[cheek puff.]

And you do know that your world has a lot of robots that are weird? Or at least the ones my mun likes to play are weird.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure they're just looking out for you, regardless of programming or it's own will.

I'm well aware but my min is a touch obsessed with "canon points" so I'm not allowed to talk about my rather large family. Though even without them I know my world has a bizarre sense of style.

[media_resource]

Duder, not even my mom is as hardcore nagtastic as my Navi is.

Pah, canon points. Isn't with you lot you can be taken from whenever you want cause yer canon is so long?

[whistles_the_blues]

I never had a mom. So I'm not sure how naggy they are.

By all means yes, but I'm taken from the new comic book and I've only just started having full appearances.

[media_resource]

Probably as naggy as any parent can be.

And? So's the guy over here that looks just like you, just means you're from the new shiny part, yeah.

[whistles_the_blues]

Probably about as naggy as Doctor Light.

I never said what this mun does makes any sense. He keeps telling me I'm from before I really get to see any of the other Robot Masters. I've only seen Dr. Light hugging Rock and Roll.

Whatever, I'll be the one to decide what I remember and don't.

[media_resource]

Hm.

You're better off than the duder here, duder. He's dead.

[whistles_the_blues]

I have a feeling I may be better off not knowing how that happened.

[media_resource]

Maybe, not like I know. He's not as talkative as you are.

[whistles_the_blues]

I think I'm a bit more chatty then some of my incarnations... But less chatty than others.

[media_resource]

Could be, or it could be the canon point thingy you mentioned too.

[whistles_the_blues]

That's possible, I have a feeling there's less talking in my future.
