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.~~]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"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.]

[Oh hey, suddenly private filter. There's no need for everybody to know about this.]

The World is a wonderful place. A massive world where humans come to play.

I am a resident of that world. It is my reality.

[She is an AI... no body in the real world, but just as sentient as anything else.]

[That is certainly something to find out, as he sets up a filter of his own. It might not be the best one but it'll do.]

I see. And that makes you really interesting, there's barely anything like you in my world.

[Because everything is robots, not AIs in computers.]

I am not the only one, but there aren't many stable ones. Humans have no use for them, after all... not unless they are trying to find something. Or create something.

Why did your creator give birth to you?

... Why?

[A snort from him, honestly Blues doesn't know why. Oh he has ideas, sure "To have a son" seems to be the one that Light seemed so sure of during Blues' life with the Doctor, but there was also one fact...

He was supposed to be a prototype for a military robot.]

Money, most likely. The military wanted a weapon, so he made me to show them what he could do and get their money to do so.

Oh really? Why would someone create a weapon that is intelligent?

[A shrug]

For selfish reasons, I imagine. Since he wanted a son as well.

That sounds like the story of Harald Hoerwick. I see nothing wrong in that, even if the creator will never get what he wishes. It is for the good of The World that he succeeded.

Hm, maybe. Although mine got what he wanted, just not from me, so maybe not to similar.

And not quite for the good of my world either.

Harald set out to create a goddess, and they say that he did.

Of course, I don't care so much. They talk about an era of peace, but I don't remember.

[... Her voice does subtly taper off at the end. Memory is one of those funny things...]

... A goddess.

[Yeah, that sounds crazy even when he keeps in mind that Mia probably means a really good AI.]

You don't remember? That's odd.

[Assuming that AI = good memory because computers is probably not the best thing for Blues to do.]

Things are... fuzzy, sometimes. There are certain things I feel I should know, but I don't remember. Emotions that remain, with no context.

[Pieces of data that have been stripped from her...]

[Oh oh, that kind of doesn't rest well with him one bit. Changing someone completely, or removing things that should be there. Nope, nope he no likey.

But he keeps a passive expression, or at least that frown he's making isn't too big, even if his tone is a bit bitter sounding.]

And of course there's no way to fix it. Once it's gone that's it.

I don't know. It couldn't be a human, they can't affect me. So I wonder...

But if I don't know, it doesn't matter. If it mattered, I would relearn it.
