as the only one to be transplanted to dreamwidth for the forseeable future...

[residualforce]

...Seriously? 

There is something wrong with you. I'm sure of it now. Where are the journals for your other muses? You know, the ones you actually used? All we do is talk about the same old thing over and over and over again.

I don't understand why you feel the need to renew this relationship.

So, once again: seriously?

[That is Shadow's happy face, he uses it when he is saying NICE THINGS. And some reason when he talks to Magnet.]

Considering who I am stuck with as linemates, a subtle ignorance is a breath of fresh air, Magnet.

[residualforce]

[AUUUUUGH]

Yeah, thanks.

...You remember our last talk about this? When I told you to remember to stab him if anything...happened?

[amadmansshadow]

Yes, I remember that. What about it?

[He hasn't stabbed Metal, there has been no reason to.]

[residualforce]

Okay. Just checking to make sure you still remembered.

...You haven't had to stab him yet, right?

[obviously shadow hasn't been looking hard enough because magnet can pick out issues from all the way over here in dear_mun whether they actually exist or not has no bearing]

[amadmansshadow]

I don't tend to forget things like that, Magnet.

... Does it matter either way?

[then perhaps you should list these issues, magnet.]

[residualforce]

Yes! Because if you stabbed him then he did something to be stabbed! It's very important!

[nonono see. he also wants to be supportive of shadow discovering emotions and things. but also he doesn't actually want shadow in a relationship with metal because the only thing he's heard about that involved shadow nearly having an emotional breakdown. and also he's a control freak. and also he still wants to be supportive. and ALSO-]

[so you see, if shadow figures all this out on his own then magnet's off the hook!]

[amadmansshadow]

But he hasn't... Except when he felt the need to have me around him all the time.

[But Shadow just got pissed at Metal instead of stabbing him.]

[Haaaa, Shadow will never figure it out on his own so Magnet will never get off the hook.]

[residualforce]

...What?

[what]

[amadmansshadow]

Something concerning the security of the castle, nothing to be bothered about.

[waving it off, la la la]

[residualforce]

You have the castle there?

[amadmansshadow]

Yes? We built it for Wily-dono when he was there.

[Well, okay. The Seconds did all the hard work and Shadow was a dick to them about it, but it got built!]

[residualforce]

...Neat.

Why would you need to be near Metal, though? You might have similar builds, but I thought you worked better when you weren't tied to a partner.

[amadmansshadow]

If I recall correctly, it was because I was finding his methods of going over the security issues to be sub-par and then he ordered me to assist him in making sure he doesn't screw up.

[residualforce]

Really.

...Did he actually ask for help or did you take an irritated statement literally?

[amadmansshadow]

No, I simply was pointing out that he... Sucks at it.

[blunt]

[residualforce]

...I imagine that went over like a lead balloon. By which I mean one that isn't also a strange kind of weapon for a clown-based Robot Master or something.

[okay, Shadow's horrible interpersonal skills are familiar territory]

[amadmansshadow]

[A shrug.]

It went along the lines of him insisting I be in charge of all security and that he had to be around me all the time, or something like that.

[residualforce]

[Yeah, see, it seems like he's missing something here?]

Right.

Look, Shadow. Um. Are you sure you're okay? Like. With Metal and all of...that. In general. That.

[amadmansshadow]

I am fine, yes.

[well, he'll be fine until it gets out... then who knows what'll happen.]

[residualforce]

Right.

Just...yeah. Okay.

[gdit]

Fine. That's good.

[amadmansshadow]

... What?

[Something is wrong. And if Shadow can tell well then it must be very wrong!]

I'm sorry about him right now |D Magnet's confusing HIMSELF about how he feels about this.

[residualforce]

Nothing. It's really nothing.

[just Magnet having issues, nothing to be concerned about over here]

Don't worry about it. I'm glad you're making...friends. With the other Wilybots. That's good. You're always off by yourself too much.

d'aww, poor Maggy.

[amadmansshadow]

Are you sure?

[considering how much Magnet fusses over Shadow, perhaps he is allowed to be concerned.]

I am not by myself too much. And would you prefer I make friends with law enforcement or Mega Man? [because certain Seconds has done that]

[residualforce]

Don't make friends with Mega Man. Especially not if your talking about friends like you're talking about friends with Metal. Okay? Okay. Don't say that again. Ever. Just.

Don't.

I don't have problems with you making friends. And I'm fine.

[amadmansshadow]

What?!

[That thought is disturbing, Magnet. Seriously disturbing.]

No, you are not.
