[Surprise. A video feed from the local recluse. Bird-ninja. Robot. Anyway.]

[After a certain conversation with someone who will remain nameless, certain concerns have arisen.]

[... Never mind he's sitting in a medbay, hooked up to a generator, no. There are far more important things to consider than that.]

When you refuel... where do you put it? [After a beat, he clarifies.] Those of you who weren't made by humans.

Do you drink it? Or... do something else?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT OKAY. For friendship purposes.]

But... if you've been doing it one way your entire life and it has been working for you, how is it wrong?

[Leave it to Miko to ask these questions.]

I just want to help, that's what friends do, after all.

[thxforthememories]

Everyone seems to think so.

[And since he's so sheltered from the world, maybe the world is right.]

... Friends?

[So many people keep saying this. He's not sure... it's hard to process.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Really? Everyone thinks your wrong?

[Awww she knows how hard that can be, a lot of people back in her Japan thought her want to be a rock star is wrong.]

Well, yeah. I mean, unless you don't want to be.

[She gave a little worried look. She hoped he would want to be her friend.]

[thxforthememories]

Yes. They've said as much.

[He just doesn't want to make a mess.]

No, it's... I'm not used to... any of this.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Well that doesn't make any sense. I mean if you've been doing it one way for so long and haven't had any problems yet it can't be wrong. Different maybe, but... well I'm different from other girls in Japan, different isn't always bad.

Good, cause I wouldn't have let you say we weren't friend.

[thxforthememories]

I'm already different enough, by comparison.

It means that much, to you?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Does it make you feel uncomfortable then?

Of course it does! Friends are important. Without friends... life would be pretty lonely, and boring.

[thxforthememories]

Not the act. It's only refueling. There's nothing odd about it, to me.

... It is. Isn't it?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

No, I mean others thinking you are doing things wrong, does that make you feel uncomfortable?

Then it's a good thing we are friends.

[thxforthememories]

... Somewhat, yes, it does.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Well... that's not nice. But if it makes you uncomfortable being different and that makes you want to do what the others do then I guess it's a good thing to change.

[thxforthememories]

[He wants to do what one very specific person does -- but they're not here to mimic.]

[So what else can he do?]

That's why I asked.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Are you getting helpful answers then?

[She just cares and wants to make sure you are happy Kagerou. Or at least as happy as a lonely ninja bird can get.]

[thxforthememories]

... Not really.

[Because Gunmax is an asshole. And everyone else is Cybertronian.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Oh... I'm sorry. Hmm maybe I could try helping you out?

[thxforthememories]

How so?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

[She opens her mouth to respond before frowning and looking a little put out.]

I don't know... but there might be something I can do to help, and I really would.

Sorry.

[thxforthememories]

I... understand. If I had an answer for you... I'd offer it.

Thank you?

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

If you do think of some way I can help, with this or other things, tell me, okay?

[thxforthememories]

... All right. I'll remember that.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I hope you find out what you want to know soon.

[thxforthememories]

Yes. So do I.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Well, I guess I will talk to you later then.
