Because the best way to get posting in MMDR again is with a wall of text

[After days of wandering, Copy X has finally found what he's looking for: a repair lab. And a fancy one at that. This is the level of technology he's used to; the equipment is relatively similar to that of Neo Arcadia's lab, right down to the offline pair of Pantheon medic NPCs drones slumped in one corner. There are four separate tables for

how convenient

*Did you say you needed an interruption, emo X? Have Zero KICKING THE DOOR IN FUCK YEAH. Finally, a repair lab! And a creepy X! His brow arches at the sight, but that's not really something to get picky over right now. He carefully lowers the damaged X onto one of the tables, turning his gaze to Copy X.*

He has a pretty serious neck wound. Can you do something about it?

it's almost as if we had like three robots in need of serious repair

[allforarcadia]

*If Zero had shown up with anyone else, Copy would have laughed in his face -- no matter how outdated his armor is, each and ever Zero is an enemy. But because it's an X, Copy is at his side in a heartbeat, detached arm utterly forgotten. It definitely does look serious, but it looks like it should be a fairly straightforward repair. Patch up the severed coolant "vein," replace the lost fluid. Copy's no master repair technician, but he should be able to handle it himself.

...Just not one-handed, that's all.*

Don't just stand there, make yourself useful! Go get those Pantheons online, then find us some coolant fluid.

*He's a little offended at the implication that he's just standing there, considering how unfamiliar he is with the surroundings and obviously doesn't know where anything is, but the wounded X is the important one right now. Zero has no idea what a Pantheon is, but he can make a good guess. It doesn't take too much haphazard fondling to get the robots up and running, and they've already walked over to the table by the time he's back with a bottle of the fluid Copy X requested.*

[allforarcadia]

*Aw, did Copy hurt the poor backstabbing Maverick's feelings? :( If you're expecting a thank you, Zero, don't hold your breath. Copy X is busy tending to X and snapping orders to the Pantheons. After a while, he does speak up, but it's still not a "thanks."*

He's still warm; he must have gone offline recently. As bad as that wound looks, it's more likely that he shut down to avoid overheating than as a result of taking too much damage to function. Barring any internal damage, he should be fine once we've replaced his fluid. Have him run a diagnostic when he wakes up, anyway.

Now, do you mind explaining exactly what happened? This isn't the clean sort of cut you would get with a beam weapon. If anything... it looks like he was attacked by some sort of wild animal.

I WANNA PLAY HOUSE >(

*Copybutt's not damaged aside from his ~conflicted heart~ with Papa Wilykins, but he pokes his head through the door just in time to hear Copy X's little speech, and he blinks*

...

OK FINE JEEZ I'LL GO GRAB YOU AN APRON

[allforarcadia]

*The nice thing about mirrors is that they're pretty good at showing you what's behind you. He looks up at Copy's reflection, then turns to face him, looking vaguely embarrassed.*

Ah... Copy. I didn't realize you were here.

...You... saw that, didn't you?

can i have the dress in your avatar too )8

[nibmobeulb]

Yeah. What was that about anyway? *he enters the large room, glancing around with a childlike interest*

but then what will i wear 8(

[allforarcadia]

I was just doing some thinking, that's all. I believe something is being asked of me, but...

*He shakes his head, changing the subject*

What brings you here? You don't look damaged to me.

[rebel_elpis]

[curious and hand twitching over his face he glances in, madness flashing so briefly before he steps away]

Blast it.

[turns to avoid]

[allforarcadia]

[Don't think Copy X didn't hear that, Elpis. You're not getting off that easily.]

Wait. Where do you think you're going? ...And where is X? He was with you, wasn't he?

[rebel_elpis]

[a thump in his chest, hearing those words come out and the darkness react oddly, turning back to face Copy X eyes less blue than they once were]

He wasn't there when I woke up.

[allforarcadia]

[Copy X doesn't notice the subtle change; as soon as he's established that the original X isn't present, all interest in anything Elpis has to say evaporates. Now he's just feigning interest in his ruined arm and trying to will this bothersome drone out of existence.]

Is that so? It's awfully reckless of you to show your face without him to protect you, don't you think?
