top_spinnin | Third Spin: [Audio

This might sound like a strange question, but I don't know what else to do. And I don't want to get maimed again by someone because of the stupid thing that calls itself my partner.

How do you handle a digimon that apparently is a complete idiot and lacks any sense when it comes to self-preservation?

I'm not that bad. Come on.

Yes, you are.

Everyone makes mistakes.

DATS. You could always call him yourself, you know.

Top, you're not pathetic. I've fought you, I know. Quick just fights differently. And Shadow might have chosen to follow him, but Hard didn't. Doesn't that count for something too? And even Shadow can make mistakes.

From:

top_spinnin

Most mistakes don't result in one needing outside help to get repairs.

I apologized.

[locked]

I don't know if that's such a good idea.

Why not? Shadow's a jerk, and yet you were willing to talk to him. Why not talk to that person?

I fought you because I had to. And he was so fast I barely got a hit on him. All I did was annoy him. And I guess it counts for something. I'm just not sure what. I haven't heard anything from hard since I arrived...

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

It's still a mistake. And you're okay now, right? Give him another chance?

And you be more careful?

[locked]

If you're worried about getting into a fight, he can't bother you over the comms. It'd be talking only.

I know. But you were pretty good. And that's why you've got to fight him differently then you would someone slower. And maybe he's worried about contacting you the same way you're worried about contacting him?

From:

top_spinnin

I'm only okay because Shadow took me to a place to get repairs after I found a way to get Quick to leave.

I will be more careful. Honestly, it's not like I was trying to get him hurt.

[locked]

And what keeps him from hunting me down like Quick did?

I don't think someone with DATS is going to hunt you down when you haven't done anything wrong. Especially if all you're trying to do is talk. Think about it, at least.

You really don't have to say stuff like that to try to make me feel better, Mega Man. Seriously. Besides that, I don't think Hard's worrying would be remotely similar to mine.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

Doesn't take away from the fact that you're okay.

I know.

[locked]

What would keep him from hunting you down now if he wanted? Talking to him isn't going to change anything.

I may not, but it's true and I want to. And maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Either way he has his reasons for not contacting you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

From:

top_spinnin

I guess you're right. Though me being okay is no thanks to the dog.

I'm not a dog. I'm a Gaomon. If you won't call me that, just stick with the name you gave me.

[locked]

Nothing does. Unless he hasn't noticed my arrival... I haven't really tried to draw attention to myself.

That's possible, I guess... Not everyone watches the comms constantly.

... Thank you. And I guess you're right. It might be worth it to try contacting him. As long as I can do it without Shadow ever hearing about it. He didn't want me to ask him any questions about what happened with Hard. Talking to Hard is certainly beyond asking about it.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

I know that. He knows that. Continuing to bring it up does nothing to help. Can you forgive him for his mistake and go on, or will it always come between you?

[locked]

It is a possibility, but I doubt it. If he hasn't noticed your arrive himself, someone else would have notified him. Unless you've been locking everything, that is.

You're welcome. And I don't know about that. Shadow said not to ask him about what happened. But he didn't say not to ask others, right? So it would be okay. You may want to lock it from him anyway, but I don't see why he should expect you not to contact one of your own linemates.

From:

top_spinnin

Fine.

I won't do it again, Toppy. I promise. And we need to work on a few things in this partnership for situations like that in the future.

[locked]

Good point. And if law enforcement has had problems with the others already here, they're probably watching for newly arrived Wilybots. I didn't really know enough to lock things before, and the one post was an accident.

... Trust me. I know how Shadow is. He told me I didn't need to know anything else about it. So it's not okay. And why wouldn't the expect me to not contact someone working in law enforcement?

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

You're a team; remember that. Neither of you are going to get anywhere without the other.

[locked]

Then he must know.

Ah, point. Then you'll definitely have to lock it then. And double check the lock too; comms have a horrible habit of having locks not work at times. I just figured he'd be seen as one of your own first, and part of DATS second. I guess I'm wrong about that then.

Exactly.

As long as being a team doesn't mean getting maimed again, I'm fine with that.

[locked]

I guess so. I just wonder why I haven't heard from him... Could he get in trouble for talking to me?

I'll make sure of that. I don't want to get in trouble with Shadow or any of the others here. As for Hard, it's Shadow we're talking about. I might see him as a linemate first, but Shadow is more likely to see a traitor.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

Being in a team is always better then being alone if you can work together!

[locked]

Why would he get in trouble for talking to you?

I guess you're right. I'm sorry things are like that for you. I hope they get better.

From:

top_spinnin

And it would help if my teammate stopped calling me a wuss and insulting me.

Then stop calling me dog.

Fine. Gloves, then?

It's good enough.

[locked]

I don't know... This world is kind of strange.

And you haven't really broken any laws yet, Toppy. Not like you're a criminal

I don't need your pity, Mega Man. And I don't see anything getting better without a drastic change.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

Have a nice long talk between yourselves. And remember, you're partners.

[locked]

Well he wouldn't; there's no reason.

It's not pity. Believe it or not, I care about you. That doesn't mean it can't happen; just take it one step at a time.

From:

top_spinnin

Fine.

[locked]

Good. Bad enough that I might get in trouble with Shadow for talking to you like I have outside the lock.

... Why would you care about me? I'm one of the enemy.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

I hope you don't; I was trying to help outside the lock and nothing more.

Because you're a person, same as me. I don't want us to be enemies. I'd much rather we all got along.

From:

top_spinnin

Knowing him, unless he missed this post, he's probably not happy. Though he isn't likely to mention it.

But I'm not like you. Wily made me. Though I think I wouldn't mind that whole not being enemies thing.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

It's still silly to get angry over getting help from someone, even if that someone is on the other side.

So? Who made you doesn't matter to me. And really?

From:

top_spinnin

That's just what Shadow's like.

Why doesn't it matter though? It does for other people. And yea.

He's not a very good Wilybot, they keep saying. Too much of a wuss.

Shut up. And what did I tell you about that, dog?

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

Because who you are as a person is more important then who built you. Then I hope we can be friends some day.

C'mon you two, don't start arguing.

From:

top_spinnin

... In a way, you're as strange as this world is about that. Though it might be nice to have some friends.

Sorry.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

It's just different then what you're used to.

So, um, think about it? I'd like for us to be on the same side for once, to be friends, and I really think you'd be safer then you are now. It's your choice, Top.

From:

top_spinnin

It certainly is that.

I'm thinking about it already. But it's kind of scary...

At least I haven't seen this Wily, if he's as bad as you say.

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

Think about it a lot. I want you to be sure in whatever you choose. But don't be scared. There are lots of people who can make sure you're safe.

He... he is.

From:

top_spinnin

I know. If I choose wrong... Well, if I betray Wily, there won't be any second chances. I won't be able to go back from that.

It's strange that someone would help me if I bring it down on myself by my own choice.

If he is, why do the others follow him?

From:

upgradedtohero.livejournal.com

What's so strange about people helping others?

I don't know for sure. Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's habit. Maybe they'd rather take their chances with him then come to our side.
