*It's autumn here now, and the large rose garden is still stubbornly in bloom even though the leaves have changed color. The weather is clear and the sky blue with only a few wispy white clouds. Sometimes prehistoric Earth can be simply beautiful. But who has time to stop and look some days?*

Date: 2005-11-05 04:57 am (UTC)*quietly* If I weren't so weak, I'd have been able to stop that thing. I deserved what happened and more.
*mumbling softly* Should have been scrapped a long time ago as worthless...
*Air shies away from even responding to Quick's comment about what the chip did over that week.*

Date: 2005-11-05 05:09 am (UTC)*sudden grin* Maybe I could find another tribble? I don't think there are any here though. There are tortoises, though!
*ends up right next to the CR by now and sits on the cave floor to grin at Air* I got turned into a tortoise once in the Nexus. It was wierd. But I got better!

Date: 2005-11-05 05:49 am (UTC)Air.. the universe I'm from, we have to obey Dr. Wily. Our programming won't let us do otherwise. It hurts even to consider it too much.
I've done a lot of things I didn't want to. Being 'weak' - and you aren't - has nothing to do with it. None of us could disobey. That chip you had was wired in a lot like the choke chips we had, only ours only overrode or locked us up or hurt us if we were trying to disobey... and most don't try. I only did a few times before I gave up.
*quietly* You couldn't have stopped it, Air. And it's over now. The chip's gone, and none of us will let Wind near you again.

Date: 2005-11-05 07:15 am (UTC)*firmly* Those things lie. You know that. This one was just a little better made than the ones we usually saw. Just remember, we do care, no matter what that thing said. The only way I'm letting Wind anywhere near you again is over my deactivated body. Understood, Air?

Date: 2005-11-05 08:58 pm (UTC)*doesn't exactly sound like he believes what Quint is telling him* I tried to keep it from taking over, Quint. I really was fighting the thing at first. Then, when I couldn't hold it back anymore, it was like the chip just shoved me into a little dark place where there was nothing. *cringes* Nothing to see other than what it was doing with my body. Nothing to hear but the sounds of the outside and it talking to me. Nothing to feel but what it let me feel.
*sounding frightened* Wind will come after me; I know he will. It said that I belong to him... I don't want you guys hurt when he comes looking for me. I'm not worth that.
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 03:45 am (UTC)*shivers at the rest* Oooo, that sounds scary. Kind of how Quint gets sometimes except you have to watch. Or like the other time I fought Megaman, when those stupid Stardroids were around. Yeah. More like that, because I remember fighting him. And I wanted to, so I dunno why that happened. *looks confused for a bit*
*frowns* Why wouldn't you be worth it. You're fun! When you're not broken, anyway, and you don't look like you're broken now...
*smiles at Air* It's nice and all sunshiny out. Want to go play? No bombs, really. Well.. maybe some firecrackers if I remember where I hid them. Maybe we'll even find a tortoise! :D

Date: 2005-11-06 04:25 am (UTC)*seriously* You're one of the nicest people I know, oniisan. Of course you're worth protecting.
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 05:44 am (UTC)*smiling* Air, you are worth it. You are your own person. Not property. Especially not his. *jokingly* Besides, you couldn't be his, he puts his name on anything he owns. Remember?
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 06:20 am (UTC)*confused* But I'm just a weak fool, too much of coward to do the job I was made for... I'm not worth that risk.
*glaring at Quick* Wind was going to engrave it after he finished putting the chip it, of course the name's not on me yet.
*sighs sadly* Ballade, I really don't feel like doing anything like that right now.
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 06:37 am (UTC)Least you didn't really screw up and do something stupid like blow yourself up to help Mega escape when he woulda been blown up on a space station because he couldn't get out of a room he was in. Um. Or something like that.
Little bastard left me behind after I helped him, just like Dr. Wily did...
*looks a little sad that Air doesn't want to go out and play* Oh. Maybe you'll feel better later?
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 06:52 am (UTC)*quietly* Ballade, give him time...
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 07:14 am (UTC)He won't ever do that, Air. He won't get the chance to do that. Even if he had before, it wouldn't mean he owns you.
*he thinks back to some of the things that other Forte told him, months ago, when he first showed up in the Nexus.* We're not property, Air. We're not 'weapons' or 'tools'. We're people.
What Dr. Wily does, and what Wind does where you're from, is wrong. I don't care what the laws of my own world say about that or what yours might, it's still wrong.
*quietly* If anything, we're more like escaped slaves than anything else.
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 08:16 am (UTC)*snaps, frustrated* Air, stop this. Just stop it. You knew that what you're say is complete and utter garbage before. Don't do this to yourself.
no subject
Date: 2005-11-06 08:31 am (UTC)I don't know what idiot told you you're weak, but you knocked me and Waspy out of the sky, and you almost did the same to Steadfast. *grins* Next time it's dull around here and the weather's too 'nice' to try storm-flying, I wouldn't mind finding out if you could do that while I'm expecting it.

Date: 2005-11-06 09:23 am (UTC)*whimpers, cringing* Quick, stop it.
