[The feed flickers on, which shows nothing at first. Oddly enough, it’s the inside of the altar room ov Vector Prime. Maybe someone had left their--

But there’s a flash of orange eyes. They only flicker in the feed for a fleeting moment. In another flicker, there’s something peering down into the device, a nose prodding it. It looks to be a a dog of a robotic nature.]

A communication device… [The dog’s eyes brighten and fade with every word and he lifts a red paw up to reposition the object.]

Calling Brave Police, this is Shadowmaru. [He lifts his head, ears alert as he hears something off in the distance. Thankfully it was one of the acolytes. The BP Unit relaxes.]

I am low on fuel. I’m not quite sure if this place even has fuel, but. I’ll try my best for the time being.

If anyone else can hear this, I will try my best to send my coordinates. I read other signatures here, but I’m not familiar with any of them. [His head perks up again, orange optics wary.]

Again, this is Shadowmaru, calling for the Brave Police. If anyone could give me their location, it would be appreciated.

[He then races off screen, the device jostling before shutting off.]

Comments

[badboybikerbot]

That can change.

[just keep pushing your luck buddy he dares you]

Hey, did you get a chance to talk to anyone else before I got to you?

[loborobo]

Managed to talk to Power Joe.

Still the same as always, even after a year of being here.

[badboybikerbot]

I don't know if it's possible for that guy to change.

[which was kind of comforting in it's own weird little way, but hey.]

Did he tell you who else was here?

[because IF HE DID then Gunmax could avoid this conversation altogether which would be NICE for him.]

[loborobo]

[He tilts his head thinking.]

McCrane, Deckerd, and, well you.

...And there are some pretty big robots here.

[badboybikerbot]

[dammit Power Joe DROPPING THE BALL.]

I meant just from back home.

[UGH man Gunmax hadn't even been AROUND for that whole Kagerou mess but he was fairly aware of how big a deal it had been. Especially after talking to the creepy ninja bird himself.]

You know what, lets get some gas in you first.

[oh hey look buddy here's a nice DESK or something for you to lean on.]

[loborobo]

[He purses his lips as he leans against the desk. He shakily pulls himself up onto it, sitting down on it.]

I... never talked to you about Kagerou, have I?

[He hopes everyone has been at least nice to him, after all that's happened.]

[badboybikerbot]

[OH FUCK WHAT A RELIEF damn dodged a bullet there. Gunmax is quiet for a moment as he rummages around a bit, quickly returning with the gas can. It's only about half full, but it's better than nothing.]

Nah. Well, I guess I never asked either. Figured it wasn't my business.

[He's not the kind of person to go around talking about his personal stuff, so why should he expect anyone else to?]

[loborobo]

All I ask is that you be... nice to him.

[He says as he lifts his head, his face forlorn, brows furrowed.]

Please.

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax is just going to stand here waggling that gas can in Shadowmaru's general direction until he takes it.]

Don't worry about it. I can be perfectly nice if I feel like it.

[loborobo]

[HE SNATCHES IT, and takes off the cap.]

If I catch wind that you've been mean to him...

[And he'll leave it at that as he takes a drink.]

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax just looks all indignant and puts his hands up defensively]

Whoa baby, take it easy! I'm not gonna be mean to your buddy, okay?

Besides, he was a huge help when I first got here. I owe him one. Wouldn't have that spare gas right now if it wasn't for him.

[loborobo]

[He stops and looks down at the can with a smile. Kagerou had grown here, he thinks. But he finishes the can, tank half full, but more than enough for now.]

Thank you, Gunmax.

[badboybikerbot]

Yeah, yeah.

[Gunmax waved the thanks off and turned around to lean against the desk, finding a totally interesting spot on the wall to stare at.]

Feelin' any better? Not gonna fall down again? What kinda ninja falls down, anyway.

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru glares at his stupid visor and scoffs.]

...

[Pulling his arm back and a curt flick of his wrist...

he throws the empty container at Gunmax's head.]

[badboybikerbot]

[boink well that gas can just bounced off Gunmax's helmet and onto the floor. Gunmax glances down at it, then at Shadowmaru. Then he just slowly shakes his head.]

That was mature.

[loborobo]

Like your comment was any better!

Let's see you try and walk with no fuel!

[badboybikerbot]

Hah! Like I would have let myself get that low to begin with!

[loborobo]

Unlike you, I was coming back from a successful mission back home!

I was going to refuel until I got dumped here!

[badboybikerbot]

Are you implying that my missions aren't successful? Is that it?

[loborobo]

No.

You're simply too busy babying over your bike all the time to bother with anything.

[badboybikerbot]

It's not babying, and it's not all the time.

Oh, and before I forget, you might wanna teach your buddy to watch his language.

[loborobo]

[He opens his mouth to snap back but...

Bwuh?]

Kagerou cursed?

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax gives Shadowmaru the most deadpan look ever (which isn't hard to achieve considering he has a visor on that covers half his face but hey)]

He called me a buttfuck.

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru stares at him.]










[Pfft. Excuse him, he's trying to hold in his laughter. AHEM.]

So?

[badboybikerbot]

So!? He can't just go around calling people buttfucks!

[Correction: he can't just go around calling GUNMAX a buttfuck. He doesn't care about anyone else.]
