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.

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.

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.

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[top_spinnin]

I don't think we're supposed to have outside friends at all, Mega Man.

You think anyone would want to talk to a Wilybot?

A lot of people on here won't know what that is. Especially newer arrivals from other places. Why not just pick some interesting posts and say hello?

Re: [audio] - [locked]

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

Being a Wilybot isn't as big a deal here as it is back home. And I'm talking to you.
