Considering he came back in a state of near-shock, I don't think I'd want to know.

*Blues says no more on that subject.*

I'll admit I'm curious about my alternate, though. I always had my reasons for not killing Al, but.. *Blues scowls for a moment, the expression almost looking out of place since he normally looks so calm* .. what I heard on that recording would have crossed the line.

*Quick winces a little, thinking of exactly what might have happened in the same situation with the Wily of his own universe.* Hope those two didn't get themselves into too much trouble. I actually liked your universe's Quick once I got used to him. He's just like I was when I was first activated... Didn't really get to talk to your universe's Crash.

*Quick sighs.* Rock reacted that badly? Hmm... As for your alternate, Blues... *Quick seems rather annoyed now.* Hate to say it, but I think the only one who knows those reasons is him. *bitterly* Not that he was ever around for those...

*Air laughs quietly.* I actually took your advice with the idea of using a music related name, Quint. It actually means with liveliness or spirit. It certainly lives up to the name sometimes. *He shifts his attention back to the screen. Not too long until Crash is done, and then they get to the hard ones.*

It would have been worse if Wily'd seen what they'd done with all that tapioca pudding, but luckily most of it was cleaned up before he noticed anything. He might not have noticed at all if not for some of the noise.

They'll be back eventually. Or at least Quick will. His speed makes him too useful on some missions, and the only other one that fast is Turbo. And Turbo's too loud.

*Elec smiles slightly* Crash? Short attention span and an enormous talent for mischief. If we were supposed to humiliate Megaman instead of destroy him, Crash would have suceeded easily. I have no doubts whatsoever we would have seen Mega painted bright pink, pantsed, tied to a flagpole, or something embarrasing.

*Quint smiles, though he feels a little silly he didn't know it was a musical term.* Most of the metools I've seen don't seem to have much of a personality. I guess CB is really special.

*Blues just shakes his head* Sounds like the only alternate I'm not going to find disappointing is the chibi.

*He pats Quick on the sholder* Sorry.

Mrow? *Tango weaves around Quick's legs and purrs loudly - why be upset when there's a cat to pet?*

*Quick just stares.* Why do I get the feeling I really don't want to know exactly what those two did? Why did Wily let both of them out if they would cause so much trouble together, anyways? *after a short pause* And who's Turbo?

*Quick frowns. The Blues of their universe had always been a bit insistent that they needed to earn their freedom.* Don't apologize. It's not needed... Wait a minute, there's a chibi alternate of you? That sounds interesting.* He reaches down to pet Tango some more, since she seemed to want the attention.*

*Air chuckles.* CB's been modified a good bit from being a standard mettool. I didn't do the personality, but the little guy sure does have one. He didn't really even start this until after the chip incident. I mean, he was trying to warn him off of coming near me earlier in the Nexus. *Air shivers a little as he thinks back to what happened.*

Our Quick got Wily very drunk. Apparently drunk enough he forgot Quick was out when he agreed to let Crash out... and he's been so busy with Zero he just didn't notice when he sobered up. Until the mess. They actually weren't supposed to be out at the same time again, after what they did with Sakugarne. *He doesn't say how much trouble the pair were in for all of that. The things that happened to them sometimes seemed insignifigant compared to the little bit of that recording he'd heard.*

Zeta Squadron, DWN056. *Elec looks briefly uncomfortable at the idea of telling another Quick about Turbo, since he was used to the two not getting along at all* He's supposed to be faster than you. He's definately louder.

*This Blues is nearly as insistant on that point, but the recording had disturbed him. He could ignore the beatings, choke chips, and other 'horrors' of the Skull Castle in his own universe - sometimes the best incentives were the negative ones. But how would they have a chance to develop past the limits of their programming if they were
destroyed?*

*He's glad to switch the subject to the chibi* Yup. Cute little kid, about this tall. *Blues holds a hand a short distance from the ground* Whistles, likes cookies, and tries to act far too grown up. Demanding little fellow, too. Really, he should have fun while he has the chance.

There's a Chibi-Mega in the Nexus somewhere too. And if either of them shoot you, you temporarily turn chibi. *Blues chuckles* Rock still wants to find the kid again and see if he can copy that weapon...

*Quint's still smiling* I guess he likes you then. That's very protective for a metool.

*He's not sure if he should ask, but thinking back now, the curiosity is getting to him* Um, I wasn't paying much attention when I showed up because of what he was saying but... was Tango sitting on his head?

((Note to self - when you c+p something to reply to it because the post is further up the thread, remember to delete when you finish your reply... *embarrassed*))

*Tango purrs happily and enjoys the attention, then hears herself mentioned and looks over*

Mrow! *Tango almost seems to grin. Of course she'd been sitting on Wind's head. With her tail she draws a frowny-face on the dirt floor of the cave, and then sits on it.*

*Quick just stares at Elec.* He should be grateful he didn't pull something like that with my universe's Wily... That would just be asking to be recycled. *He smirks.* So Wind's little crew is going to be replaced eventually with any luck. I wish I could see the look on his face when he figures out he's expendable.

*Quick laughs.* So I should probably be careful if I see little versions of either you or Mega in the nexus. *He gets a rather amused grin of his face.* Almost makes me want to actually run into them just to see that.

*Air sounds rather cheerful now, trying to push earlier out of mind.* Honestly, that's CB's purpose. Well, more of it's keep an eye on me, and if things get too out of hand, call the others. I like having CB around though.

*Air pauses, now a bit uneasy.* Yes, Tango was on his head. Might have been part of what angered him so much. He hates being embarrassed or mocked. Causes him to do things like earlier. *Air perks up a bit, watching the progress. Just about to finish, it looks like to Air.*

((Ugh. What is it about the darn metool that makes it so I can keep pronouns straight? Keep finding myself swapping between he and it...))

I just wonder how he got the liquor to 'bribe' Wily with.

*Elec nods* We're quite a few past Epsilon, but I think a few things are different. Dr. Wily didn't make them in our universe. He was too busy to make designs of his own that time, because he was already working on Forte.

If he doesn't catch on when Forte's activated, he might wind up a chew toy for Gospel. Then again, I don't think I want to imagine what your world's Forte would be like. Ours is enough of an arrogant punk.

And even if Forte won't exist in your world, there's Zeta Squadron, and then Eta and Theta.

I don't think our Wind's been out of the Gallery for years.

*Blues actually grins, and seems to be trying not to laugh* Oh, they're worth it. I just wish I'd had a camera when Chibi-Proto wandered over to Roll and an alternate of Kalinka and demanded hugs.

The last I saw of him they were plotting to feed him ice cream. Made sure to leave before Kalli saw me, though. It could have been awkward. *he shakes his head slightly, the smile faltering for a moment* That one was only fourteen, and I'm used to her being twenty-one now.

*the smile returns as he avoids that topic* I let Chibi-Mega shoot me. It took three days to wear off. Interesting experience.

*Quint notices, and switches back to the slightly earlier topic, wishing he hadn't asked about Tango* I guess C.B.'s like a Support Unit then. That's what ones like Gospel or Tango get called, because they're a lot more than just pets. *He purposely does not mention Rush*

((Probably because 'it' feels like a pronoun used for an object, not an entity, and most people tend to default to 'he' rather than use it for a chara. It's one of the reasons we have so much confusion with WW!Plantman. The player there keeps trying to avoid using any pronouns whenever possible, as Plant doesn't have a gender, and 'it' almost seems insulting to use as a pronoun to describe a Robot Master))

*Quick smirks at Elec.* It was enough of a shock for us and we were never quite allowed the get as full of ourselves as they've gotten. It'd be fitting to see him receive the fate he's caused others to recieve.

*Quick snickers.* That sounds kind of amusing. Three days of being little and cute? I can think of some people who'd really enjoy that.

*Air cheers up a little.* CB was intended to be more than a pet. It's just, he ended up being one on top of being good to store information. I needed something to remind me of the important things.

*The grate of the CR is raised again once the repairs on Crash are finished. His systems restart and instead of being cautious about the situation, Crash starts moving a little, looking around in confusion. This place isn't anywhere that he knows.*

((*nods* That's just it. It feels more natural to use he. I keep having to swap in it. Debating on just sticking to he so I don't keep having to proofread and swap all my pronouns for the metool. That's what I do as it is... The replacing is a hassle.))

Yes, it would. *Elec smiles at Quick* The Betas I know were a little arrogant at first, but most of them outgrew it. And Bubble never was.

And even then, if it wasn't for some of them, we'd have been scrapped after the First Rebellion.

It was fun. I might let him do it again sometime.

*Blues looks thoughtful for a moment and adds* You could tell Crash it's a little like being drunk, but without the hangover and other nasty aftereffects.

*When he notices the grating come up, Quint hops back off the chair and runs over to the CR* Oniisan?

It's ok, this is a safe place. I'm sorry we didn't get to you sooner, we had some trouble outside the building. Are you ok?

*Noticing Crash is reactivated, Elec nods slightly to himself* I guess that's my cue to leave.

*He's a little uncertain, and wondering if he should have left earlier, remembering how his presence seemed to disturb Crash at the party - but he'd wanted to make sure Crash would be ok before he left.*

*Quick shakes his head sadly.* The arrogance disappears so fast when you see one of your squad recycled. *Quick shakes his head.* Never mind that though. Take care of yourself, Elec.

*Quick chuckles a little.* It'd keep him out of the alcohol for a few days at least. It might even be a nice bit of blackmail material. He's got enough on me from the times he's managed to get me drunk.

*Air watches nervously before getting off the chair.* Hey Crash.

*Crash looks a little confused.* Quint? What happened? Last I remember, I was trying to keep Charge busy... *He shakes his head. Last thing he really remembers was a lot of pain before his systems shutdown due to damage, but he's not about to say that. Crash starts trying to get to his feet slowly.*

*Elec pats Quick on the sholder briefly* You take care too, otōto. All of you.

*He heads for the exit, wanting to be outside before he tries to teleport out of the area*

*Blues grins* I'm sure Tango would help 'babysit'.

*Tango abandons her spot near Quick and bounds over to Crash* Mrow!

*She attempts to snuggle and purr when he's not quite on his feet yet...*
