1st Whistle [video]

[prototype_blues]

[There are a million ways this video could have started, more so since it's being done from the watch device instead of the glasses, like showing the person who is using it's face!

But nope, for the first few minutes the network is shown a lovely scene of the ceiling as Blues had turned it on to do the whole "Introduce yourself, and get used to being here" deal he had come to realize is the current situation. And judging by the heavy stomping that can be heard off screen? He's none to happy about that.

Ah but! The ceiling scene does change! Finally, of course it's replaced by a red gauntlet grabbing the watch and covering the screen before a young man mutters something. The screen quickly flashes a grey body suit with a red belt, and are those clunky red boots and a flashy yellow scarf? Before settling on the user's face, which is frowning, and his eyes are hidden behind a pair of shades too.]

... Hello, I guess. If anyone is even using this that is.

[Conversation! Only he looks awkward, as if talking to a camera is something he's never done before. Like, at all.

Oh yeah... maybe he could give out his name.]

Name's Blues.

[Yep, he seems... fine with that. So off the feed goes. Proto Man was here, Mega Man is a loser.]

[...wow, that armor design sure looks familiar. Really familiar. And that name, well. It's enough to make Rock wonder. Dr. Light said that Blues would've been dead by this point, but here's a big pile of potential evidence to the contrary.

When the video flicks on, Rock is armored as well, sans helmet, and he looks curious. Anxious.]

Are you a robot?

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

[Hey. Rock, hey. Do you like being scrutinized via video? Because even in your armor, the lack of a helmet is striking Blues as super duper familiar!

And not in a happy fun way dad stealer.]

Does it matter if I am one or not?

[Video]

[flyonadog]

[Hoo boy, that's a look that's far too familiar. Rock reaches up to rub the back of his head, then shrugs. I STOLE NOTHING.]

Well, no, I suppose not - I'm just curious. There's not exactly a bunch of other robots in this place.

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

I noticed.

[Oh looks like Blues recalled where he's seen Rock before and he doesn't look to happy. Or at least what is shown of his face doesn't look too happy.]

[Video]

[flyonadog]

[Man, you are one grumpy gus, guy - almost enough to make Detective Stern seem like a personable fellow.]

Yeah...

[ GET EQUIPPED WITH

AWKWARD PAUSE ]

Wasn't all I was curious about, though. Uh... Do you happen to know a Dr. Light?

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

[Hey now. Blues isn't used to a robot that can hold a conversation that isn't himself.

That and the whole "go live like a hermit until I die" thing he did didn't help one bit.]

Dr. Light... Yes.

[Now there is a very noticeable change in Blues' expression, heck he even says Light's name with just a hint of... disgust.]

[Video]

[flyonadog]

[Unfortunately, Rock will miss that disgust, as he's rather overcome with shock and glee right now.]

So-- So then you're still alive! Oh man, this is awesome news! Oh geeze, I dunno where to start filling you in. Now I just wish the Doctor was here, he'd be so happy to know you're not dead!

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

[What.

No.

Not happy. Because Rock is the stupidreplacement Light made. There is no happy here. In fact Blues has a horrible death grip on the watch he's holding.

Like, the image is going staticky the more Rock talks because of Blues' grip on it]

I very much doubt he would be happy.

[Video]

[flyonadog]

[And thus happiness turns to confusion. So much confusion.]

...what? Why would you say that?

[Video]

[beautifulmemory]

[Mia liked to flip through the network on occasion, but the shaky camera and humorous appearance caught her attention a little.

But it's mostly the name. So much like cheesy usernames people would use for their characters in games!]

No relation to Blue, Bluez, Baloo, B1u3, or Broo, I assume?

[Not like he would understand the joke, but it only matters that she's the one laughing.]

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

[Yeah it goes right over his head. Heck his response, while sounding confused, is completely serious.]

You'd assume right, that and I don't have any family.

[Video]

[beautifulmemory]

Interesting. Did you chose your own name?

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

No my... Creator gave it to me.

[Also man, he wants to ask why she's a cat or if she's a robot.]

[Video]

[beautifulmemory]

"Creator"! Interesting. You're a lot more interesting than I thought.

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

Well... So are you.

[Then he says it.]

Since you're a cat.

[Video]

[beautifulmemory]

Not exactly.

[But let's brush right over that, shall we! She thinks she's boring in comparison.]

Who was your creator? A programmer?

[Video]

[prototype_blues]

[But but... Blues thinks she's interesting, he's never met a talking cat person!]

No he is a roboticist, actually.

[video]

[greatseal]

[This introduction just screams "antisocial person who needs to be bothered..."]

It's nice to meet you, Blues-kun. I'm Minako Arisato. Did you just arrive?

[video]

[prototype_blues]

[Don't say that to his face, he'd just be all grumpy and more antisocial in response.]

Yes, I did.

[A pause.]

Unfortunately.

[video]

[greatseal]

[It's okay. Between her boyfriend avoiding socializing like the plague and her brother's love of linefacing, she's got experience with handling these types.]

It's not so bad, once you get used to it. Although it's always tough to be suddenly away from home.

[video]

[prototype_blues]

I didn't have a home to be taken from.

[He's hard to read cause DEM SHADES and DAT HAIR hide his eyes, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that he just said he has no home.

Course that might also explain why he looked so awkward earlier because ahahaha, what is having an apartment.]

[video]

[greatseal]

[Well that's a very chipper statement... but if Minako was thrown by it, she's not making it obvious.]

Then the city's definitely not so bad. There's plenty of things to keep you occupied.

[video]

[prototype_blues]

[Only the chipperest!]

Maybe, but it's very confining being stuck in one place.

[video]

[greatseal]

I can understand that. When you think of a 'world,' it's usually a much bigger place than one city.

But for one city, Hinoto-ri still isn't that small. Were you used to traveling before?

[video]

[prototype_blues]

Yes.

[He went anywhere he wanted to, screw being told where he could or could not be. So being here bugs him, a lot.]
