On being reserved

[robotfightclub]

Let me get this straight. You drop me from one game that happens to have a good chunk of the team there, just to throw me at another that...doesn't.

No, great, thanks. Appreciate it.

I'm a BP Unit. Brave Police of Japan.

[He sounds rather formal about it, like it's something he's rehearsed.]

Created by humans for the purpose of law enforcement.

[robotfightclub]

[Oohhhhhh okaaaaaay. See, the last time humans tried to mimic Cybertronians, it...well, it was awful. So forgive her if she's cautious.]

You sound pretty smart for something made by humans.

[wingears]

[Oh, look at that, he looks almost bashful at that.]

Thank you. But it was not merely just programming that made me what I am.

[HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR THIS ONE.]

[robotfightclub]

[No wait, she can do this!]

Lemme guess. And the power of friendship.

[wingears]

Hm. You could say that.

[No sarcasm or sense of humor in this one.]

We were given a heart.

[No, not the real one. That's gross.]

[robotfightclub]

[That is gross, but it totally sounds like something MECH would do. Plus the rest of the human body.]

Did you get ruby slippers, too?

[wingears]

...No.

[An innocent blink. Is...that supposed to mean something? His eyes look from side to side for help, like there's a clue he should be picking up on.]

[robotfightclub]

[wee lamb]

Okay, so you have a heart. What about it?

[wingears]

It is what separates us from machines. We have emotions, feelings.

Desires and wants.

[robotfightclub]

[She takes offense to that, good sir.]

Funny, I got all of that and I don't have a heart. Think your theory is a little flawed.

[wingears]

You're different, if what Skyfire said was right. You're already living machines.

Right? You didn't need to gain one.

[He's so confused...]

[robotfightclub]

[She's just as confused on this side.]

I don't think the heart is what makes something alive. Okay, well, humans need a heart to stay alive, but it's just an organ. It pumps blood...or something.

I think what you're looking for is the soul. It's like a human spark.

[Arcee attempts biology.]

[wingears]

That's what I was told by my creators. They said Yuuta...my boss gave m--a friend of mine his heart. And now I have it as well.

It sounds similar to what you are referring to, though.

[robotfightclub]

[He gave his heart and what? You know what, she's just going to leave it as "humans are weird sometimes"]

You know what? I'll just take your word for it.
