compnetwork | 2nd Whistle [Video]

[Now considering various events that happened this week? Blues has decided that staying in his apartment is totally the greatest idea ever. But that also means he kind of has to find someone to take the chocolate and free dinner pass since he can't eat the chocolate and honestly?

He's not a fancy dinner kind of guy or the chocolate eating type, ignoring the fact he doesn't eat human food.

So he's turned on the video of his glasses! And anyone watching it would be able to see the box of chocolates that everyone had been given by the City except...

Blues is wearing his sunglasses, so the screen is completely blacked out. But hey, at least he's talking so there is that!]

Uh... yeah so. I got these chocolates and they're going to go to waste here, really.

[He sounds awkward, somehow more awkward then when he made his first video on this thing.]

Anyone want it? Or erm, another free dinner pass? That's going to go to waste too. or something.

[Then it's just awkward silence and that black screen... Someone better tell him that he should take of his shades if he's gonna use the video function again.]

Hey, jackass! What's the point of video if we can't see anything?!

Huh?

... I can see just fine.

[But hey, he'll take off his shades so the video will shows those coming off and then! oooh, a nice box of chocolates sitting on someone's lap before it pans up to show Blues plain ass apartment wall.]

Better, blind man?

All I know is that when it came on, it was pitch black, so don't get smart with me, guy!

They're called "sunglasses", people wear them. On their faces.

[Gosh, all that awkward is gone it seems when it comes to having someone shout at him.

And the view is gonna change to the ceiling cause Blues is gonna lay down now.]

I can see fine through them, I assumed the glasses would too.

Bah, I know what sunglasses are! I think I got a pair around here somewhere...

Guess you assumed wro--

[Wait a minute.]

...just how many pairs a' glasses are you wearin'?

[What a dumb question.]

Right now? Just the communication ones, before I was wearing my sunglasses. So... two?

[HE SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS.]

Not one for treats, I take it.

[And dude, he's seconding that dude who commented before him. Turn on the lights!]

[He's taken off his shades now, sheesh. The whole lot of you need to get your eyes checked, he can see just fine through them.]

I can't eat human food, actually.

...Huh.

[Well, that's new. New and a little strange, really.]

So what can you eat?

Oil, and E-Tanks.

Although that's more like drinking than eating.

[The joys of being robot, no need to eat food. Ever.]

Oil? Wait, does that mean you're a robot?

[The things he did not expect. Then again, after talking to that Egg guy, maybe he shouldn't be surprised.]

No, I'm a pixie.

[Dead pan. It seems talking to Momotaros has switched on Blues' jerk mode.]

Hey, robots in general are news to me.

[Cue a shrug. The deadpan snark doesn't really offend him, though.]

Only other 'bots I've seen came from that Eggman guy. Guess you could say my world's a bit behind on the times when it comes to technology.

[Comparatively, anyway.]

There are quite a few of us around here, that I've found out.

[Not going to touch on the whole "my world is a bit behind" part.]

And never heard of "Eggman" before.

Maybe I should look a little harder then.

[Because robots are awesome, clearly.]

As for Eggman... he's this mustached mad scientist with an egg-shaped body. Rides in this dinky flying ship with a wrecking ball, and one of his video posts had these two tiny robots made up of cubes and spheres. I think one of them even talked like a cowboy.

Hm.

I see. They don't sound all that... Um. Well made then.

So how do you compare? If that's not too personal, I mean.

I can pass for a human.

[It's not too personal, because it's true. If someone was to look at Blues he looks human.

Even with this ridiculous hair.]

Huh, that's not bad at all. Guess it saves you some trouble for anyone that'd freak out around robots, too.

[Riku'd like to think he's not one of them, but some people can't handle anything remotely new.]

Not really. I get mistaken for human more often than I'd like, which is silly.

[Blues doesn't sound too pleased by that.]

Well, people don't always look beyond appearances. You got anything that at least kind of sets you apart at a glance?

No, not really.

[The hair totally doesn't count. Or his constantly hidden eyes.]
