*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...*

*Quint tries to help Crash to his feet, hugging for a moment during this* We found out Wind was having some of the others attack you and we came to help.

*Quick smirks, snickering a little as he watches Tango.* I bet she would. I just hope I get the chance to see that happen.

*Air sounding relieved.* Glad to see you're alright, Crash. I was worried. *Air now looks uneasily at the body of Flash. He's actually a bit scared to find out if Flash will be fixable.*

*Crash finds himself being snuggled by Tango while he's trying to get up.* Settle down, Tango. *He lets Quint help him up, but he's still just a bit unsteady on his feet.* How did you guys find out anyways? I didn't think you knew what universe we came from... *Looking over at Air* Just the usual unsteadiness I get on being reactivated. How are you doing, Air?

Wind came to the Nexus looking for Air and eventually he said what he'd done I guess because he thought Air would leave with him if both of you were, um... gone. So Air told us where you were and we all went to help. We ran into Shadow outside or we would have been there sooner.

*He shivers slightly thinking of Shadow, but stays close to help Crash until Crash isn't as dizzy*

*Tango, surprisingly, obeys. She curls up next to one of Crash's feet, purring loudly, with a possessive and smug look on her face*

*Blues grins at Tango's behaviour* Yep. She just might follow Crash home some day. *He shakes his head slightly*

*Quick looks very amused.* Yea. *He walks over to Air, having a good idea of what Air's thinking about now.* Are you really feeling up to doing the work on Flash now, Air?

*Air looks a little surprised at the question.* Of course. I want to get this done and over with. We even brought the stuff out of the locked room here, so we don't have to go back for certain things.

*Crash looks angry on hearing the bit about Wind.* Psychotic bastard. Air's not hurt or anything, is he? *Crash watches Air carefully. He is feeling a bit steadier constantly now, but he's not quite sure walking over there is such a good idea yet.*

Air's ok, I think. It's just.. it's not been a nice evening. I missed some of what happened, but Ballade came and got me when it looked like there was a problem.

I'm not sure what else happened with Wind. He.. was mad later and started sending messages. Punk and Ballade had to stay in the Nexus. Technically, they have orders not to leave it for now, and Ballade can but if he does and Punk sees he'd be caught. The field in the Nexus dropped. I think they must have done something, but I don't know what.

*He's a little worried about his younger siblings, and wonders if it's safe to call Ballade now that Elec has left and there isn't anyone who'd tell on Ballade*

*Blues just leans against a wall and starts to whistle*
