It's good to have a lab again.

[did_it_for_lulz]

[Nothing like a dishonest day's work to lift the spirits and clear a foul mood away! Now that Wily's mastered the 'technology' of this place in the sense that he figured out how to bend it to his will like so much raw putty, he's having a grand ol' time. Behind the modest door with its jaunty skull motif has blossomed up a large and fully

*Sleeping together? Perish the thought. Have a Gemini poking around curiously.*

[did_it_for_lulz]

[Well, well, 019. Here's an old coot tapping one of you on the back of the head with his fingertip and clearing his throat loudly! He's still got his funky headband, bug-eye making goggles, and grease-stained work clothes on. He's left off working on his new robot to attend to the sudden rash of visitors.]

And what precisely are we doing, 019?

[That might or might not be a smile or a grimace.]

[narcissist_019]

*Gemini gives the greasy clothes a little look; he certainly hopes Wily washed his hands before that little tap. While the tapped Gemini turns to face Wily, the other rushes behind him to check. With a look of horror, he rushes off to find something to wipe it off with, the first trying to maintain his composure, knowing that he's been dirtied.*

Nothing precise. Simply acquainting myself with your new laboratory. You have Mega Man in quite the state of panic, you know that?

[did_it_for_lulz]

Do I, now? Hee hee. [here's a rub of his hand at his bristly chin, leaving black streaks on his skin which he doesn't seem to notice or care about. Oh, such dirty behavior, such vicious callousness!]

...Wait. You spoke to Megaman here?

[Oh, this is not so good. No, no, not so good! He'll have to devise some defenses for the lab... well, at least his robot will keep the blue goody-goody busy as soon as he finishes it... which would happen a lot sooner without all these damnable interruptions!]

[boobclocks]

*Zero, on the other hand, isn't poking around. His wild guess that the door with skulls on it contained the good doctor's lab proved to be correct, and while the atmosphere isn't exactly welcoming, he needs to talk to Wily. Fortunately, he brought a ~friend~ who may or may not hate him right now for hand-shattering shenanigans.*

[did_it_for_lulz]

[Squint. No, more than squint. That red-and-yellow-blur is enough to make Wily actually push his welding/magnifying goggles back up his head. He blinks at his erstwhile masterpiece, slightly at a loss for a moment. Which doesn't stop him for more than thirty seconds; no, it's the fact that Zero shows up with someone who looks damnably like a creation of Thomas's that brings a deep scowl to his face. WILY EXPECTS AN EXPLANATION OF THESE SHENANIGANS, ZERO.]

[boobclocks]

*Great. He's looking mad already. That's... not a good sign. Zero gives a small sigh before walking up to Wily. Mad or not, he's pretty resolute.*

...Dr. Wily. You're not too busy?

[did_it_for_lulz]

[a bony hand lifts and points at Zero's 'friend'.]

I demand to know what that is doing here. What are you doing, bringing a Lightbot into my lab, Zero?!

[nibmobeulb]

*he knows what this is, and finds himself glued in-place infront of the new lab, he doesn't dare go in--but he doesn't leave either*

[did_it_for_lulz]

[Well, Gemini's in, and Blues was in earlier, and both of them came out intact! From within the half-open door wafts the sweet loud sounds of epic Wagner, and Wily can be occasionally seen passing back and forth, in work clothes, carrying on a conversation with someone or several someones inside- at times growing quite animated! Luckily for Copy, though, these conversations keep the old crank far too busy to glance at a flash of blue beyond the door.]

[nibmobeulb]

...*he peeeeks through the door*

[did_it_for_lulz]

[Wily is currently... arguing with Zero? The real Zero, who appears to have brought a -friend- with him. Gemini is also poking around the lab too. And there's the beginning-skeleton of a robot on one of the tables- unidentifiable at this point, as it's mostly the chest and core area, without head or limbs.]

[searchsnakes]

[S'cuse me, Copy. Snakeycakes coming through, and coming through as fast as he possibly can. It's not until he's through the doors and safely in Wily's lab (since when did he have a for-real lab, anyway?) that he dares stop and examine his prize. He slides Rock off his shoulder and takes a good look.

Megaman. Still damaged from his fight with Vile and out like a light. Snake stands there for a moment, holding the unconscious twerp at arm's length. Ain't that something? Even Snake can't believe he managed to make it this far without getting blasted.

...Oh yeah. Speaking of getting blasted, Wily's still pretty upset, isn't he? Snake peeks around Rock's limp body.]

...Hey, Doc. Look what I found.

Ooh, a present. CAN I OPEN IT RIGHT NOW?

[did_it_for_lulz]

[You are officially Wily's favorite again, 022! All is Officially Forgiven for this lovely, lovely present! He manuevers around Zero and X and Gemini- my, how crowded the lab has suddenly become!- to eye Rock rather like a butcher speculatively eyeing a piece of grade-a meat, making a mental plan of where to cut.

His voice is quite hoarse with emotion, in fact!]

Put him on the third table, quickly!

NOT UNTIL YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOUNG MAN. :|

[searchsnakes]

[This would normally be the part where Snake's obedience protocols kick in -- the good doctor had far more sense than to allow a sneaky robot like Snake to disregard orders. Unfortunately... maybe it's a lingering side-effect of Queen Ophiuchus' control, or maybe it's an unfortunate result of the wrench-smashing, but it's not happening. File not found.

For a moment, he just stares with an expression of dull surprise bordering on fear. Then, his programming settles back into its default response: be conniving. Search out every possible advantage and exploit it.]

Let's not get hasty, Doc. Last time we met, you brained me with a wrench. If you want to boss me around, don't you think you should be making it worth my while?

BUT I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOW

[did_it_for_lulz]

w-w-WHAT?! You continue to defy me and attempt to buy your way into my favors?!

[Then he pauses, as he thinks about this. Well, it IS what he programmed 022 to do, after all! Hmph, hoisted by his own petard again... how annoying. He grumbles, but leans back and crosses his arms over his chest, skewering Snake with a sour look. Besides, he can't stop inwardly-gleeing that one of his idiots actually managed to capture Megaman!]

Ach, fine, fine, name your price and be quick about it! [huff!]

[measure63_forte]

[Forte storms down the hall, her temper still quite foul and words of a similar nature escaping every few seconds--it is the time of the F-bombs. Her programming is at war with itself, torn between continuing observations and checks and hunting Rockman down to pick up where they left off... But she has no idea where he is! Which is frustrating as all get out. She compromises before she ends up with a headache and does her observations while looking for the blue bomber, only to come across

[purejustice]

[Aww, you're not gonna let a little thing like Rock cheating you out of a clear victory stop you from helping get him away from Snakeman so you can beat him up yourself, are you? ;_; Besides, Rock's energy-signature just appeared in the room; he's starting to power up again!]

[measure63_forte]

[THAT catches her attention. Jerking her head upright from where she had it bowed in irritation, she scans the room and... Heeey, Snakey. So that's where it came from. Now, while it could be seen as treacherous? It's still her damn job to do it. No way is she going to let it go to someone else. Besides, Snake couldn't have been the one to best Rock, so it's completely undue.

...Okay, so Rock might get help here in a second from a very unlikely source. But damnit, Forte is stubborn.]
