*Quint smiled shyly* Being safe is a good thing.

[http://users.livejournal.com/ballade_/]

*Ballade grins* Nobody here wants to make Wind happy. He just kinda pisses everyone off...

[istopfornothing.livejournal.com]

*Quick smiles a bit.* Good to hear, Metal. I don't want Wind to have you any more than I want the bastard to have Air.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal still is a little uneasy.* I've never really been safe before. We all knew Lord Wily would sometimes do things on a whim. He recycled more than one of us "because he could". And Wind has made things worse...

[pogo_boy]

You're safe now, oniisan.

[istopfornothing.livejournal.com]

*Quick nods, agreeing with Quint.* Safe, and the only people here wouldn't want to hurt you, Metal. *He pauses before adding* Not that I'd just let someone hurt you.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Sounding nervous* Why are my weapons not functioning? If something happened, I'd be vulnerable... *Metal doesn't mention the fact that it's unnerving to have his weapons disabled for the first time in his existence, outside of the time with Wind, at least.*

[pogo_boy]

*Quint fidgets slightly, embarrased* We weren't sure what you'd do when you woke up.. if you might panic. And I-I don't know if we could have stopped you if you had your weapons and attacked us. That's why your teleporter's disabled too.

*Ballade nods* Uh huh. Cause we wouldn't want to fight you even if you did attack us. And it wouldn't be good if you went back to the Castle before anything was explained either. And we didn't know if you'd let us try to explain.

*Quick sighs.* Metal, I know how you are. You wouldn't have thought of anything other than going back to Wily. I don't exactly like the idea of beating the hell out of you for even a good reason... But I'd have to if you had those working, because you wouldn't listen.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal flinches a little at the accusation from Quick. Especially since he knew it was accurate.* I guess it isn't a bad thing that they were disabled this time... *He shivers as he remembers what it was like to not have access to those functions with the chip in.*

[pogo_boy]

I'm sorry we scared you, oniisan. Just didn't want anyone to be hurt.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal hesitates, before asking a question that had been bugging him.* How long has it really been? *He doesn't really clarify what he's asking though, figuring it unneeded.*

[istopfornothing.livejournal.com]

*Quick shakes his head a little.* Not sure on the exacts. We'd thought you'd just been doing something on orders for a while... Then, it got to be too long. I'd say that it has to have been been at least 6 months... *He seems to be hesitating, if just because he isn't exactly telling the whole truth.*

[pogo_boy]

*Quint looks uneasy, thinking of the Gallery* Sometimes it's better not to think about exactly how long, just that it's over. It's easier to just try to get caught up with things and not worry about it.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal looks a little bit confused.* Why would it be better? I spent all that time not being able to figure out how much time has passed. Would be nice to know if the length of time was really as long as it seemed... *Looking over at Quick* It seemed longer than that. Much longer.

[pogo_boy]

*Quint fidgets* Sorry... I... Where I'm from, being shut down for long periods of time is kind of a 'normal' thing that happens to almost everyone. And trying to sort out the confusion about how long just makes it worse. I didn't think about what I was saying. Sorry...

[istopfornothing.livejournal.com]

*Quick smiles a little.* It's fine, Quint. Easy to forget that our universes differ a bit sometimes. Especially in that.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal nods at that.* I guess if that's how things are where you're from, you'd be used to the idea of being shut down for extended periods. Only I wasn't shut down for all the time, and we usually are shut down only for repairs...

[lavender-wings.livejournal.com]

I'm not from the same universe either, so... I wouldn't know how much time.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal smiles a little.* Kind of had a feeling that was the case. You look too different from anything I remember from home...

[pogo_boy]

*Quint smiles, feeling a little better since Metal seems less scared than he was* Steadfast is from another planet, kind of like the Stardroids. Oh, that's right, you probably don't have them either.

She's from the same planet as Waspinator and Terrorsaur, but I think different universes or timelines or something.

It's a planet with just robots and no humans at all. *still finds the idea fascinating*

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal looks a bit confused at the mention of Stardroids but shrugs it off, more interested in the rest.* A planet with robots but no humans? How is that even possible?

[bw_waspy]

Because us not invite humans to stay with us? And no humans there to begin with.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal gets a bit scared again, thinking he might have made someone annoyed at him.* I didn't know that it was possible... Sorry if I offended you.
