I've been there for a month and I lost an arm and a leg, some paradise.

[You got better.]

That doesn't mean it had to happen in the first place. You're being careless with me, stop it.

[Move your cursor over the little bouncing icon for a quick translation!]

Hmm... at least this time you have a legitimate complaint to gripe about. The loss of limbs is especially problematic to species who do not receive the benefit of spontaneous regeneration.

[whistles_the_blues]

This time? I don't believe we've met.

[There's a pause.]

You must mean the other "me" around here.

[controledfreak]

There is more than one "you?"

[whistles_the_blues]

Apparently so. I haven't seen them myself yet, but my Mundane is aware of their existence.

I assume that means another has plans for "me."

[controledfreak]

That is entirely possible and altogether likely. I have known the minds of these beings which have intended to use us, and they are not unlike the elders of my species.

One must always assume that one's actions have received the eyes of another whose power over the design of your own actions is immutable.

[whistles_the_blues]

I do as I choose. His power is a guideline, not a rule.

She's great at making first impressions...

[controledfreak]

Believe that if you wish. Though from my experiences such a thought melds easily into deception. Once one believes their own thoughts and actions are their own, a subtle manipulation or a change in mental clarity can alter the reality just enough until the world they see becomes a fantasy and the actions they perform are nothing more than the rehearsed performance of a well choreographed puppet.

It happens, he isn't the best at them either.

[whistles_the_blues]

I assure you, I'm no puppet. You can't convince me otherwise.

[hunter_maverick]

To be honest, I'm surprised that the humans have allowed an older model like yourself to operate, let alone placing you somewhere.

[whistles_the_blues]

I may be an older model, but I still function just fine.

[Aside from that whole flawed power core, right?]

[hunter_maverick]

I meant no offense. Just a statement.

[There's a pause as Sigma runs a quick diagnostic.]

...Though 'fine' seems to be a relative term. I can't help but notice that there's several improvements you could make regarding your energy management.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm aware and I'd rather it remain the way it is. Being altered in anyway is out of the question.

dropping in, right before bedtime ohoho

[plainlyobvious]

[PROTOMAN, PROTOMAN WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SPIKE PITS-

oh wait, what's this...?]

You lost your arm and leg?! You're right, your Player needs to stop this at once!

[whistles_the_blues]

[CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU FOR THE TIPS ALIA]

They're currently being repaired, but yes, they were both broken off during a battle. He needs to be more careful with the situations he throws me into.

[mega_maiden]

[Resisting the urge to fuss, resisting urge to fuss.

RESISTING! THE URGE!]

Why did he let that happen!?

[Resist failed, now look upon the panic in your little sister's face.]

[prototype_blues]

At least it's just some limbs.

[plainlyobvious]

[OF COURSE YOU CAN!!! It's in her job description.]

Oh...it's good that they're in repairs, but you're right. Your Player needs to be a little more careful in their planning. What would happen if you ever go out of commission?

[...you know. For good, but Alia can't bring herself to say that.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[He doesn't really want to talk about that either. He's lucky that his core wont get any worse so long as he's staying in this game, but there are plenty of other ways that things could go wrong.]

I'll just have to be prepared for next time, I have to be sure something like this doesn't happen again.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Oh, it's the other him.]

True, they can always be repaired.

[whistles_the_blues]

I think he was out to test how well I could defend myself in my current state. He'd best be satisfied with the answer.

[prototype_blues]

[Yo, other self.]

True. And at least you don't have certain people to fuss over it.

[Guess who has his little brother in his game? This Blues.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Mun is jelly, Blues is not.]

Also true. I'm not sure what I think of the person doing the person doing the repairs either, then again I'd rather be doing it myself with what's happened.

[prototype_blues]

Even I know trying to put limbs back on by yourself is foolish.

And at least you're aware of who is doing your repairs.

[Ha ha, his core freaked out and he pretty much "passed out" in front of Rock in the middle of a fight.

Not that Blues would get Blues to say that, ever.]

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm aware that it's foolish, that's why I didn't.

It doesn't mean I have to be happy with someone touching my parts.

[He got in a fight with Wheatley in Cyborg Superman's body. His core was close to a freak out, but he would have got his head crushed before that happened with how things went.]

[prototype_blues]

At least it's just external repairs instead of something vital, or programming.

And it could be worse, it could be Light doing the repairs.
