Mega Man's Blog

Hi! I'm Megaman, a fighting robot created by Dr. Light. I may not like to fight all that much, but I'll do whatever it takes to keep the world safe from the hands of Dr. Wily. This is an independent roleplay blog. I'll be willing to roleplay with anyone. This is not a yaoi blog, by the way. Anon Magic Status: None

“Listen, dude, it’s fine,” she insisted again, her voice more firm. “I’m fine, I’ll be okay. It’s not life-threatening. And I can still function in society thanks to this.” She held up her right arm, as if to prove a point. “Just because life is shitty, doesn’t mean I have to live like it.”

Her outlook seemed to assure him as he gave her a nod.  From what the woman could tell, he seemed to feel a little better.  “That’s one way of looking at it, I guess.” He was surprised she could have such a positive disposition in spite of everything.

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She studied him for a moment before she shook her head, a small smile on her face. “It’s fine, really,” she insisted. “Believe it or not, I’ve been in worse scrapes before.”

“Um...  To be honest...  Knowing you’ve been through worse than injuries that require you to need your limbs amputated doesn’t help me feel any better...” If anything, it made him feel worse.  And concerned for the safety of this individual if she’s suffered worse than this.

not-the-usual-suspects​:

“I’m alright, if very confused,” she replied. “Just… what happened that day feels like a blur since I was mostly out of it for good reason, but…”

“Well, don’t worry too much about it,” Farrah assured her. “After all, you’re alive and well, and that’s what matters the most.”

She was quiet for a few seconds before she nodded. “Yeah… I suppose you’re right…”

“I just wish I could have been there sooner...  After what happened to you, I don’t feel like I did enough...” The poor...  Uh...  “Kid...?” seemed to be beating himself up over the incident.  Already, he was drastically different from Rex in that he wasn’t hiding his feelings.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She stared at the small Machine for some time, then frowned a bit more. “Uh… okay, so… you’re actually a smaller version of Mega,” she commented. She then turned her attention to Farrah. “And Rex’s opinion on this is…?”

“Not the best,” he replied with honesty. The redhead nodded; she’d suspected as much.

Megaman kept his comments to himself. Rex could easily overhear him if he wasn’t careful. “That’s not important though. What’s important is your well-being. How are you feeling?”

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She tilted her head at the explanation. That had been Wily’s goal…? To just get Light out of the way, to take over the world? …… well, to be fair, it was more or less what her Wily had done.

Farrah walked into the room, a small look of surprise on his face when he saw Serenity. “Oh! You’re finally awake,” he greeted.

“And very confused,” Serenity responded. “What happened and where’s the little midget Mega?”

He blinked as he looked at Serenity.  This was the same girl from before.  “Well, you just answered your own question.  I’m Megaman.” He responded matter-of-factually. That comment hadn’t been intended to sound like a smart-ass response.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She frowned a bit, then tried to move to sit up in the bed a bit better. That voice sounded… vaguely familiar. And the fact that Farrah laughed at it, made her realize that she wasn’t imagining it.

“Oh, my goodness,” Farrah commented; he sounded quite amused. “How in the world did he ever come up with that? And was his end goal simply framing Light? Not ending him?”

“I guess his plan was to get Dr. Light out of the way so that he wouldn’t be able to stand in his way of world domination. Of course, I put a stop to that without question. I easily proved Dr. Light’s innocence after Wily was defeated. And of course, he used the embezzled donations he got to build his next castle.” Mega Man continued on, happily telling Farah about all his adventures. “Nothing he’s tried has ever worked.  I’ve made sure of that.”

[not-the-usual-suspects]

“Okay, I’ve… recovered, for the most part… but my head is still whirling from what happened…”

“…… was… was I saved by a midget version of Mega Man…?”

[dln001megaman]

“-and so it turns out Wily was behind it the whole time. He tricked my siblings into working for him, promising that he could still make use of them despite their expiration dates coming up.” The redhead could hear the familiar voice nearby.  The same voice that had saved her earlier.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She smiled at that; he certainly wanted to be of help, didn’t he? “Alright, then. I’ll show you where his workshop is. Just be careful, though. Roll isn’t the most friendly Machine, either, though for much different reasons.” Farrah then stood up and began to head out of the room. It was probably better to just let the redhead rest for the time being instead of waiting around for her to wake up.

“Already, that’s a big difference from my sister.” Mega Man explained as he walked with Farrah.  “The only time she’s mean is when she’s busy cleaning the lab.  Not because she hates it, but because she takes it very seriously.”

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

She nodded in response. “I’m sure Tom would appreciate it greatly,” she assured him. “Especially with him being so caught up with being elbow deep in grease trying to get the rest of his mother’s designs up and running before the turn of the new year.”

His demeanor turned serious when she said this.  So Tom was going to be busy?  Then he’d need some help.  “I’ll do whatever I can.  Even if this isn’t my world, I’ll try to protect it as though it were my own.  I won’t let this happen again.” He told her referring to Serenity’s injury.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

It sounded like Light and Wily had worked together for some time and seemed to have a better relationship than her version, at any rate. Which was reassuring.. it let her know that most worlds were more beneficial than this one, and it gave her some semblance of hope for future travels. She tilted her head with a brighter smile. “Well, I’m glad that you have a happier life than most,” she finally told him. “There’s at least one version of you that deserves to be happy.”

“Thanks.” He nods at her.  “I hope things change for the better in your world too.  I know it’s not my place, but I’d like to help any way I can.” Even if it was just a little push in the right direction, this world needed to change.  Maybe then Rex wouldn’t be such a dick.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

Farrah gave him a soft smile. “Don’t worry about it, dear. It’s how this universe was meant to happen.” She couldn’t fault the small Machine for feeling the way he did, but at the same time, she didn’t quite understand how things worked in his universe. Though, it sounded like a wonderful universe to visit if even for a short time.

He returned the smile, feeling a bit reassured.  The story she had told him was pretty heavy.  Though he supposed she’d want to hear the differences.  “From what I can understand.  This... ‘Emily’ person never existed.  Or if she did, my dad, Dr. Thomas Light, never met her.

“Dr. Wily was very jealous of Dr. Light’s success. The two had a bit of a falling out before they both parted ways.  Reason being, they experimented with a new type of robot.  My brother, Proto Man.  He was fully operational, but because of a glitch, he was given complete free will.  But that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that his core was defective and could explode at any moment. But repairing him would supposedly come at the cost of his free will.  So...  He escaped the lab before Dr. Light could repair him, and that was the last Dr. Wily worked with Dr. Light.  ...For a while, anyway.

“They never met anyone named ‘Joe’. The only ‘Joe’ I know is a series of military robots Dr. Light and Dr. Wily collaborated on known as ‘Sniper Joes’. After their falling out, Wily made a lot more variations of them.

“And then Dr. Light made me and my sister, Roll, around the same time.  I was a lab assistant while she was a house-keeping robot.  I wasn’t always the super fighting robot you see before you.” He told Farrah with a smile.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

At first Farrah was confused by what he was saying, but then realized the similarities between the two worlds they came from and nodded. She gave a small nod, then let out a sigh. “Well, whatever you have in place in your world that would prevent robots from harming a human - or anyone else, for that matter - don’t exist here,” she explained. “They never have. Serenity and her family name have always been considered enemies of the state. So when it was discovered that she was still alive… well. Obviously orders went out for her death.”

The robots here weren’t programmed with the three laws of robotics.  That was a scary thought...  So in this world, all machines could do as they pleased.  This was a double-edged sword. On one hand, robots had more autonomy.  On the other, it put so many human lives at risk.  “I wish I had shown up sooner...  Her arm wouldn’t have to be amputated then...” The small robot seemed to be beating himself up despite him having no way of knowing this would happen ahead of time.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

Farrah shrugged. “That’s the way the multiverse works, unfortunately,” she told him. “Not everything works out the way it was ‘supposed’ to, given circumstances that happen. And there’s no real way to fix those circumstances, either.”

She looked over to Serenity, who was still asleep and completely unaware of what had happened to her. “For instance, there’s a timeline where you interfered and kept her alive, but she didn’t get injured. Or another where the injury wasn’t as severe and just needed a bandage. Or where she didn’t make it through the surgery, one where you both are killed… endless possibilities for a multiverse.”

“That’s true...  I’d hate to see what happened in the timeline where I never showed up...” She might have died if not for him.  “I wish it was one of the other timelines...  But I suppose I’ll just take what I can get.  As long as I was able to save her.”  He smiled a bit, but then his face turned to a frown again.  “But something’s bothering me though...  Why did the Sniper Joes fire at her...?  A robot shouldn’t be allowed to hurt a human...” Why was he calling them “Sniper Joes”?

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

Farrah gave him a soft smile. “Well, I’ll do my best,” she assured him. “First, there’s the fact that Tonya Light - Tom’s mother - and Albert Wily worked together for some time to try and make a better world, but what ended up happening was Wily’s jealousy. He tried to take Emily away from Tonya, which only ended up in her death. Tonya faced decades of exile because of it, and tried to return to make things right.

“To do that, she first teamed up with a young man named Joe, and they tried to blow up the Tower you see looming above the City’s skyline. However, the plan failed, and Joe was killed as a result. The next thing Tonya tried to do was to make Proto Man, which… also failed. After that, she retreated to her own lab still in the City, and made Rex - our version of you.

“After nearly three years, they finally met face to face, but it resulted in a battle called the ‘Sons of Fate,’ by the populace. Proto Man was presumed dead, Rex put himself into exile since he couldn’t stand being the savior to a City unwilling to stand for themselves, and a massacre happened that killed off nearly seventy-percent of the people living here.

“Then it was quiet for nearly two decades, until Rebellion activity started to become more prominent. Wily upped security, the Rebellion added more and more forces to their side, and… well. Wily was unceremoniously killed by his biological daughter, Adelaine, who now rules over the City.”

She paused, and tapped her chin as though in thought. “I believe that’s the basic rundown of things so far, or as much as I know them to be. I could be missing some things, though.”

This wasn’t right...  Everything Farrah had told him was a heavy load of information to take in.  There were a few similarities, but mostly differences between the two worlds.  “That’s awful...  Horrible...  Why did things have to turn out that way...?”  Judging by Mega Man’s reaction, Farrah could tell nothing like that happened where he was from.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

“There isn’t, but… unfortunately that’s not how it’s worked here.” Farrah moved to sit down, unsure as to how to really proceed with Rex. “I swear, sometimes I can handle dealing with him, and other times he seems like he’s completely out of control…”

“Well, one thing’s for certain, there’s a lot of differences between our two worlds.  Would you mind filling me in on what all has happened here?” He asked Farrah.  Clearly he was in a place he knew nothing about.

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

Farrah gave him a small smile in response. “Well… truth be told, he’s had to deal with quite a bit more in terms of his life,” she admitted. “Killing his own brother, being exiled to avoid destruction, then arrested and sentenced to work in an underground mine for twenty years out of a life sentence…”

She let out a sigh. “Honestly, if my other half hadn’t found him, I don’t know where he’d be right now. Probably half broken down in a tunnel beneath the Tower…”

“That’s awful...  I can’t say I’ve ever been exiled or arrested, but I know what it’s like to murder your own brother...  And to be doing that for over twenty years over and over again...” He had to admit, his work had been pretty traumatic, but he pushed through.  From what he understood, this version of himself had it so much worse.  “There’s no shame in admitting you need help...”

[dln001megaman]

not-the-usual-suspects​:

It was clear Rex was about to say something else, but was stopped by a hard glare from Farrah. It almost seemed like they were communicating without words, which was true. She was scolding him over their link and reminding him that he needed to be somewhat hospitable. Eventually Rex scoffed, and gave Mega Man one last harsh glare before he stormed out of the room.

Once he’d left, Farrah let out a sigh and turned towards Mega Man. “I’m sorry about that,” she said softly. “It’s just… he has an extremely hard time knowing how to deal with his own emotions… he had to bottle them up for over twenty years.”

His glare softened as he looked more sympathetic.  “That’s not healthy...  He needs an outlet...  That’s the only way I’ve managed to cope for over twenty years myself...”  Over twenty years, and he still looked like a child.  He’s had a good number of battles under his belt.
