compnetwork | 1st Whistle [video]

[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.~~]

[... Really?]

You.. Don't know what a robot is, do you?

I've only heard the term in passing. What is it?

A robot is a machine that moves on it's own, they're made by humans and most of them can only follow basic commands. Or what they've been programmed to do.

[He pauses before adding.]

But there are certain robots that go beyond that. There aren't many of those though.

Oh, that's the name you have for it, instead of AIs.

Um... Sort of? Robots have Artificial Intelligence, that's their programming really.

So the only difference is that you have a built body. So you see humans for what they are.

[That's... a weird thing to say.]

... Only certain ones.

[Mia chuckles.]

I see them for how they want to be seen. How they see their ideal selves, or what they see as "fun". This place is the first chance I've had to see just how plain they really are. How mundane they can really be.

Well... Yes, but that's just how they are.

But it's interesting, don't you think? Trying to understand what they do, why they do it... they're so fun.

No, not really. I don't care to be too involved with them.

[Or anyone really.]

Really? You only prefer the company of other... robots? [Almost said AI, there.]

Or are you trying to be alone? Because you're doing quite poorly to make yourself alone.

Like I said, there aren't many robots like myself in my world.

[Of course he kept himself isolated, for a good reason in his own mind.]

Not responding would be rude, miss.

"Miss"? [Oh, she laughs quite loudly at that.] I'm Mia. You can call me that.

You're interesting, Blues. I like you.

[He's about to say that it's nice to have learned het name but then she said that he is interesting and an L-word.

So don't mind him being a bit flustered and some how MORE awkward.]

Um... thanks? You're, um, interesting as well.

You should join me, sometime - I like to explore the city. And its people.

Maybe.

I'd join you, I mean.

Good, good. I'll show you a good time.

[She means absolutely nothing by that, other than "boy some people are in for one heck of a wild goose chase", but the mischievous lilt to her tone does not help much of anything. It's a very sly, cheshire grin that crosses her face.]

[How do girls?

Blues is just awkward because Mia is something like himself, which is the one thing he has never encountered so he has no idea what he's doing here.]

Okay that sounds... fun.

[He's also clueless about her mischievous plans of a goose chasing nature, the poor boy.]

[Oh Blues, you poor boy.]

It is. Which reminds me, what do you do for fun?

[She's alluded to what she finds entertaining, it's your turn!]

[This is what happens when someone lives their life as a hermit!]

Fun?

[What is this "fun" you speak of? He hasn't had fun since he ran away from Light Labs, he's helped people but that's not really "fun" that's just... helping people and keeping families whole ~~he's got a thing about families~~. And waiting until he dies. So really, not much fun here except...]

Music, listening to it mostly more than making it though.

Music! Right, there's no background music outside, is there? So that would make it more interesting.

... True, since I don't think you could call the sounds of everything around you "background music".

There were only so many areas like that in The World, after all.

I'm guessing you don't mean a planet or Earth when you say "The World", right?

[Now it's his turn to ask some questions about you Mia.]
