Third Spin: [Audio - Open]

[top_spinnin]

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.

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.

Re: [audio]

[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?

Re: [audio]

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.

Re: [audio]

[top_spinnin]

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.

Re: [audio]

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.

Re: [audio]

[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.

Re: [audio]

[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.

Re: [audio]

[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.

[audio] - [locked]

[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.

[audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[top_spinnin]

I'm a Wilybot. That's why it's strange.

... Some of those don't really seem like good reasons. Wouldn't it be better to be safe instead of taking the chance like that?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

I know some of you look out for each other. It's not too different then that, only it's a broader range.

Yeah, but people aren't always practical with their reasons for doing what they do.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[top_spinnin]

They're usually linemates. Just like Shadow helped me after Quick mauled me. That seems more normal than complete strangers helping each other.

... You have a point there.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

They're only strangers because you haven't met them yet. Maybe if you thought of them as potential friends, it wouldn't seem as weird?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[top_spinnin]

Potential friends? That seems even more strange, Mega Man. We aren't supposed to have friends like that.

It's not a bad idea though. Maybe you could meet some people and make some friends if you just talked to some people. There's certainly plenty of them posting on the comm.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

Why not? What kind of friends can you have?

He's right, Top. You could simply talk to people on the comms.
