Thinking about going to themainframe

[didntknowwasthere]

No!

[Well that's the first word he's said to his mun.]

I won't let you take me there! I don't wanna be human. What kinda game makes the players toxic anyway? A dumb one! So you should just take me back home now! And... please do it before you turn me human?

A hue-man? What's a hue-man, and why would it be poisonous?

[She would ask what you are Mike, but her young scholarly mind needs to know.]

[didntknowwasthere]

They're these things from another world. We use human children to power our cities and stuff. And they're super toxic to monsters, especially children!

[tinybookworm]

[The way he's describing humans, Twilight's getting the impression they're like eels or something.]

Ohhhh, okay. How do you use them to power things up though, they sound too dangerous to touch.

[didntknowwasthere]

Oh, we don't touch them. We use their screams for power.

[tinybookworm]

That kinda makes sense, I've never heard of a creature with that powerful of a scream before though.

[didntknowwasthere]

Human children are! I think human adults might work too, but it's nearly impossible to scare them.

[tinybookworm]

I bet they would, these 'hue-mans' sound scary...but interesting in a way, kinda like a dragon.

[didntknowwasthere]

I dunno if "scary's the right word... [Mostly because scary is a cool thing where he lives.] but I guess they are kinda interesting I still don't wanna be one, though...

[tinybookworm]

I don't think I would want to be either. [heh, the irony]

My name's Twilight by the way; Twilight Sparkle.

[didntknowwasthere]

That's a weird name. I'm Mike Wazowski, nice to meetcha Twilight!

I don't have any neutral icons, sorry.

[cunningdoll]

*Slow eyebrow raise.*

Well, that's new. Never seen your kind before.

Since when are humans toxic? That's news to me, and I live with them!

That's quite alright!

[didntknowwasthere]

I'm a monster. [He said this slowly, examining Haruki.] Wait, so are you not human?

[cunningdoll]

Not really? I look human, but I'm a doll.

*He crouches down and opens up a few buttons on his shirt, pulling it aside so Mike can see the visible joint in his shoulder. He also pulls up his sleeve to show a similar joint marking his elbow.*

I was made by humans, and I was made to look, think, and behave like one. But really, I'm just a sophisticated toy. Or a robot. Whatever is easier for you to picture.

*He then tilts his head.* So what makes humans toxic to you? Is it like... germs?

[didntknowwasthere]

Oooh, that's cool. And yeah, especially children. That's why I can't become human! I won't be able to go back home!

[cunningdoll]

Eww, germs. Yeah. Kids have a lot of them. Enough that they can make each other sick! All humans of any age can get each other sick. *He shudders.*

But, since you're hanging with your mun, even if you get turned human, your mun can turn you back. I understand you, and what you mean. But remember that, too.

*He grins.* And you can always rebel!

[didntknowwasthere]

Really? I knew they were toxic but I didn't know they were that toxic...

And how can I rebel? I can't sneak up on someone who knows I'm here!

[bigsoftie]

...humans are not toxic.

[didntknowwasthere]

They are to monsters!

[*Gosh* Leatherhead, how many times does he have to tell you?]

[bigsoftie]

Why do you call yourself that?

[didntknowwasthere]

... Because I am a monster?

[bigsoftie]

But you are not. You are only young.

[didntknowwasthere]

No, I'm pretty sure I was born a monster.

[bigsoftie]

Do not tell yourself that. Monsters are only made. Like me.

[didntknowwasthere]

[Blinks.]

But... that's my species.

[bigsoftie]

...what?

[didntknowwasthere]

Everyone from my world is a monster.

... What did you think I was, anyway?

[bigsoftie]

...

[He's really confused now.]

A mutant?

[didntknowwasthere]

No, I'm just a monster... Although I bet I'd look a lot scarier if I was a mutant too...

[Good job Leatherhead, now Mike's pondering what are the odds he'd survive and look scary if he threw himself into a vat of nuclear waste.]

[bigsoftie]

[Nooo don't do that.]

...I do not understand.

[didntknowwasthere]

Which part? The fact that I wanna be scarier, or are you still stuck on the part where I'm a monster?

[bigsoftie]

The second part.

[didntknowwasthere]

I dunno what's not to get. I mean I was always like this.

[bigsoftie]

...always?

[So you're an alien?]

[didntknowwasthere]

... Always.

[Geez, maybe this guy was banished to the human world and hit his head or something.]

[bigsoftie]

Then you are spared the pain many other have.

[No it was prodded by someone worse.]

[didntknowwasthere]

O...kay?

[Well he's completely confused by that.]
