[Worried Rock is worried. He's found his way to the fountain, and he's taken off his helmet. Sitting on the edge of the fountain, he kicks his feet back and forth against the stone. There's so much that he had to take in so quickly! It's awfully overwhelming. He's not depressed, just deep in thought, just trying to sort it all out

*Kicking the stone happens to be causing tiny ripples in the water. That distorts Gemini's view of himself, unfortunately for Rock. He looks up, already exasperated.*

Would you cease that obnoxious kicking?

[purejustice]

[Here's Rock leaping to his feet, more out of startledness than aggression- when he stops to think, he really stops to think!]

G-Gemini! [and he's wary, of course, but he keeps his hands at his sides.] I knew there were lots of other Wilybots here, though... I guess I shouldn't be surprised to run into you.

[Since Gemini was there before him and he apparently didn't notice, and he hasn't been attacked, then he doesn't need to activate his combat subroutines? He hopes anyway.]

Uhm... You're not looking to fight, are you? Because I already had a fight with Forte and I really don't want to.

[narcissist_019]

I'm not looking to fight. I'm looking at myself. I was under the impression that was fairly obvious, but I suppose I should know better than to assume anything in this place.

[purejustice]

Oh, uhm. Right. That's right, you do kind of like to do that.

[This feels very strange. Rock isn't quite sure how to interact with 'enemy robots' when they're not being enemy robots!]

Can... I ask you a question? It's okay if you don't want to answer.

[nibmobeulb]

*who doesn't he bug here, i mean really*

Oi. What's eating your shorts, huh?

[purejustice]

Hi, Copy!

[he rests his hands on his helmet and smiles, happy to see a friend and more than happy to put his worries aside for a nice talk!]

Uhm... well... Nothing, I guess. I'm glad to see you, though!

[nibmobeulb]

Huh. Really. *he's wary, but he's sitting beside him anyway*

*he removes his helmet too so they match* What's up then?

[purejustice]

Well, I still don't have any specific instructions, so...

[he turns his head to keep smiling at Copy.] Thanks again for letting me have that piece of paper. It was really brave and I'm glad that you did it, Copy. It was really important, after all!

[proto_hero]

*As Proto is wont to do, he wanders. And spots Rock. After a moment of consideration, consisting of tilting his slightly oversized head to the side, he decides to walk over with a nod.*

Getting used to this place so far?

[purejustice]

Hi, [a grin] 'big' brother!

I guess I'm doing okay, yeah. I did get a chance to talk to Dr. Light for a little bit, but I don't have orders yet still. But I found out some information about what's been going on, and Copy's with us now. Oh! And Elec's here too!

[proto_hero]

Don't start getting cheeky on my size yet...

Really? That's good. At least now, if you get lost, we can organize a search party.

*He struggles to get up on the edge, kicking his little stubby legs, and then readjusts his scarf-bandanna while clearing his throat, pose as cool and mysterious as possible.*

That... Just didn't happen, right now.

[purejustice]

[he giggles and nods very, very seriously, then makes his face as Very Serious as he can!]

I didn't see anything. Nope!

[And here he breaks down into a laugh again.]

Uhm, you know. I had a question about that. The getting lost thing. I know now why my teleport and radio transmissions weren't working, because we're obviously nowhere near home. But has anybody tried to radio each other from inside this place?

[lolimine]

...Hello.

*Looking for a certain creepy human, but Lumine was sidetracked by observing how the area shifts. And it's now sidetracked by trying to find a pattern in the various arrivals. With a soft, almost shy voice, it asks the blue robot a question.*

Which year might we be?

[purejustice]

[Wooow. Until he spots the headband with its installed lights, the slim and tall robot with its human clothes really makes him think it's a human at first! Rock hasn't met any Reploids yet, so you get to be the first, Lumine.]

I don't actually know what year it is here. Where I came from, it was a little after the First Annual Robot Tournament ended. About 20xx, mid-year? Is that date important to know?

[lolimine]

The year that you gave me was the one I sought, thank you very much.

*Lumine gives a pleasant, if slightly distracted smile at the small blue robot, adding that to its database to number-crunch for a pattern with enough accumulated data.*

What might your name be, and in which year were you created?

[purejustice]

You're welcome! [He smiles.]

My name's Rock. Officially, I'm Rockman, but that's just what people call me when I have to fight. [He offers out his hand, friendly and innocent!]

[fallowmybelieve]

[X had actually come to the fountain in hopes of maybe running into that Merti girl again. What he gets instead is a boy in blue. And that's enough to bring him to a halt, oddly enough. He's just staring as though he's seen a ghost.]

omg meet your big brother, X :D

[purejustice]

[Rock is chatting away with his 'family'- the chibi!Proto and Copy Rock- at the edge of the fountain, smiling happily.

But how could one Rockman not stop and take notice of the other? In fact, he stares right back- until he realizes it would be rude to keep doing that, anyway.]

Woooow... You're me!

oh boy oh boy, my little big brother 8D

[fallowmybelieve]

[And with that, there's no denying it -- this is DRN 001. Rock. The one X inherited his name from. The first Megaman. X has run into a lot of people from his future, but this is his first real encounter with his past. For all the time he's spent watching grainy, century-old news footage and wondering "what if," X finds himself utterly flustered when faced with the real thing.]

Oh... n-no, I'm... well, some reploid researchers have theorized, but I don't think... uh... there's no concrete...

...Not exactly, no.

Just don't name him George. :D

[purejustice]

[he blinks at the taller robot getting flustered, and looks embarrassed- gosh, he didn't mean to say it like...]

I'm sorry, that wasn't the right thing to say, was it? [now he looks apologetic, big green eyes and the hint of a wibble!] I didn't mean to be rude. I just meant, I can tell you're a Rockman model, like me!
You look really strong!

What's a Reploid?
