If you were given the chance to go home, would you choose to stay here instead?
I wonder if I'm the only one who would choose this.
Also I might have killed Crow. By accident.

The pillar made me do it.
He'll be back in a few days I'm sure.
[One has to wonder why she doesn't seem as upset about it as she should be.]
no subject
[Four one of those days we need to talk about empathy.]

The pillar gave me a strange power. Everything I touched turned to dust, including my hoverboard. When Crow jumped on me I touched him and he went poof. Just like that.
He's the first person I've ever killed, it's weird.
no subject
The pillar? How? It talked to you or....? [Now that thing is giving people killing powers, g-r-e-a-t.]
Weird is a strange word to use. I know it was an accident but you don't feel more remorseful about it? Killing is a bad thing and I thought you liked Crow.
no subject
Huh.
I only just noticed my own lack of remorse. It's not that I don't like Crow, I just don't feel anything in particular about it.
Is that a bad thing?
no subject
It's a thing. I'm no psychologist, Four, I don't know for sure...perhaps it's just that you are less emphatic than others.
no subject
If he was gone forever, then that might be a different thing.
But when he gets back, I'll apologize.
no subject
You should, yes. He might be angry so be careful.
no subject

no subject
I'd probly stay too. Mostly because going back could have... complications in my case.
no subject
Being here isn't so bad.
no subject
And yeah. There are plenty of worse places to be stuck.
no subject
no subject
And you are?
no subject
I am a creation, it's nice to meet you Axel.
Why is your hair so spiky?
no subject
[Axel glances up briefly, tugging lightly on one of the bright red spikes of his hair.]
Meh, it's always just kind of grown that way. Was a bit shorter when I was a kid, so it tended to spike straight up instead of laying back like it does now.
I gotta, your the first... 'creation' I've ever seen. What's your story, exactly?
[Because anything that looks like a living ragdoll is bound to have an interesting backstory.]
no subject
A long time ago the humans in my world built a machine that had huge potential. They used the machine to create other machines, but they abused and misused it. What they seemed to ignore was that the machine was sentient, and it eventually snapped and turned against them. It created machines filled with a gas that could destroy every living being it comes in contact with, from humans to bacteria.
The Scientists, its creator, decided to make us. From his soul, we are his creations, 1 to 9, and it was our duty to survive. Someone has to remember the humans of my world, and that someone might as well be us.
no subject
Well... that stinks.
[Understatement of the century, Axel.]
Sounds a little like what happened to my world, only with Heartless instead of machines. Either way, sounds like their own darkness got the better of them. It's happened before, and'll probly happen again.
But as for you... I've never heard of anything made from a piece of some one's soul before. Sounds like something that'd kill you as sure as any poison gas would, if you tried it.
no subject
How did you accidentally kill him?
no subject
Sure hope he's not too mad about it.

[OH MY GOD DON'T TOUCH ME]

The ability is gone now, thank goodness.
I'm perfectly harmless, I assure you.
Re: [text]
[there's a pause and then, rather hesitantly]
Are you sure? Primus knows how the pillar works, let alone any abilities that it granted.
[text]
It was an interesting experience though, I'm lucky I only killed one person.
Re: [text]
It's not that I don't believe you, it's more the fact the Pillar is still standing.
[amazingly, he's trying to be a good cop for once]
[text]
I intend to find out the mystery of that pillar. It's so fascinating.
no subject
[He wants it. He wants it with every fibre of his mechanical frame.]
There are too many others counting on me. Do you not have a situation that is the same?
no subject
What makes you want to go home, Megatron?
no subject
It...has been appealing to me, as well.
However, there is too much unfinished business on my Cybertron. As tempting as it is to create a new world without the conflicts that mine had, those conflicts made me. Starting anew feels too much like running away.
no subject
It's not your responsibility to deal with all the problems in your world. It can probably go on without you.
no subject
Yes, there is shame in running away. It is my Cybertron. My home. If I let others carry on in my stead? If I just vanish?
Then it is proof that my cause was not worth fighting for. I will always keep trying to get back.
no subject
no subject
It is about whether I find it worth fighting.
And I do. I find it worth fighting, no matter what world I am on. If the difference between victory and defeat is one mech?
Then I will be that one mech.
no subject
But I'm not a warrior and I never will be.
no subject
One does not have to be a warrior to be of value to a cause.
However, it seems to me that you've found your own cause, here. This is where you can be useful.

...what happened with Crow?
[Text]
He died. By accident.
[Video]
What was the accident? [Not that he /particularly/ cares – the tiny Earth-bot was annoying at best – but…he really should at least make /some/ effort to address it, he supposes.]
