The Haystack Principle

(Independent RP blog for Needleman from the Classic!Megaman series (Based off of the song 'The Mega's' did for him). NSFW due to violence, swearing, and mildly sexual content (but NO smut). Mutli-verse RP blog.)

He flinched, backing away with wide eyes, his arms wrapped around his persona in fear. “I…I….It’s Ps…Psi-!” He whimpered, shivering. “I..I’m so…sorry..! I..I didn’t m..mean to..to intrude..!”

Needle's eyes narrowed, though he simulated a sigh. "How did you get here and why?" He asked, getting right to the point.

The DWN knew that stating he wouldn't hurt the other was probably not worth his energy to say. Most people didn't listen to him anyway, and even if they did Needle almost always wound up hurting them on accident.

Another planet.

Her Grandfather let both her and Bra know that this was like before, but there was no details on exactly what the conflict was about. Either way, it was a very good chance to do some training with someone….or something new. If that ever came up.

The three of them split up with very little worries since Bra and Vegito could go straight to each other and to Pan if need be with Instant Transmission.

Pan had found eventually herself face to face with what seemed to be one of the locals. Though, she wasn’t sure if this robot was programmed for speech or not.

"Hello. I take it your one of the inhabitants of this planet?"

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

"...Of this planet, yes." Needle answered, seeming confused. Of course that statement implied that whoever this girl was, so wasn't from this planet...Which didn't make much sense.

Then again, he had gone on other planets before, but he hadn't seen any form of life there, much less something as complex as a human.

"I'm Needleman, DWN-017. Who are you and how did you get here?"

[kibbybots]

"I… d…don’t think h…he meant to br…bring me h…here." Kalinka looked around no this place did not look like the place Bright Man wanted to take her. Despite the fact that she somehow kept getting separated from them her brother’s never intentionally did anything dangerous with her involved. Their top priority was her safety.

When Needle Man stood up and started to lead her out she followed, but not that closely. She was still scared of him after all and didn’t want to get too close to him.

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

"Still, this place is pretty far from where a safe area would be, especially for a kid." Needle muttered. He looked back behind him at Kalinka, noticing how she wasn't following that closely. "...Try and keep up." He said.

He knew that she was staying away from him because she was scared, but he didn't say that directly. No point in bringing it up, he supposed.

[kibbybots]

Kalinka gave a small nod to answer his question about Dr. Cossack being her father. Although, she didn’t really like the idea that he knew who she was. That meant he knew that she had robot brothers and possibly she was friends with Rock, both reasons Wilybots harassed her before.

"I…I was w…with my b…brother and g…got lost, he’s p…probably l…looking for m…me."

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

"...I don't know why the hell he thought it was a good idea to bring you around here, but getting lost in here I get." Needle said. "Having you stay in here any longer might get you killed. C'mon."

He stood up, gesturing for Kalinka to follow him as he started walking. He might have decided to carry her if he wasn't concerned about accidentally skewering her with the needles that were in placement for his hands.

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

"..." Needleman didn't say anything, just looking down at the human and seeing if she'd say anything. He suspected that she'd probably run away from him, so there wasn't really a point in instigating conversation anyway unless he had to.

Still, the look he was giving her suggested that he was wondering why she was there in the first place.

Looking at this one, he assumed that it must be a robot.  There was no other way anyone would look like that anyway.  It didn’t look like the ones Robotnik would build, but asking would be better anyway, especially since the only robots he seen belonged to him, unless he’d build his own.

"I’m a fox.  A Mobian fox.  Are you one of Robotnik’s robots?"

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

"I don't know what a "Mobian" is. You at least resemble something of a fox, though..." He grumbled. "Robotnik? I never heard of him. I'm a DWN. Where did you come from, anyway?" Needle assumed that this...Thing was some sort of lab experiment or something. He wouldn't doubt that. It was still pretty surreal, though.

Kalinka flinched back a bit when he knelt down to her still trembling uncontrollably. She was scared out of her mind of what he might do to her. Her experience with Copy Elec Man had shown her that some Wilybots really would kill her, she was close to hyperventilating out of panic now. After all her encounters with DWNs it was a wonder she hadn’t broken down crying yet.

She was so wrapped up in her fears she almost didn’t hear what Needle Man had said. However, when it did register she peeked up at him, still not very comforted by the irritated tone.

"Um… K…Kalinka C…C…Cossack."

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

Needleman briefly went through his processor to see if he'd heard the name before. "Right. You're Mikhail Cossack's daughter, aren't you?" He looked at her.

"...How did you get here, kid?"

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

The DWN simply looked at Tails, seeming startled and confused-- a scan would reveal him to be organic, but...How was that possible?

"...What in the hell are you??"

Needle looked suspiciously at Julian, putting his guard up. This guy didn't look like a normal human...And that mechanical arm certainly wasn't typical of a human to have, either.

"State your name and business here." He ordered, eyes narrowed.

[kibbybots]

Kalinka’s eyes went wide in horror at seeing the Robot Master before her. Not only did she recognize him as one of those Wilybots that stole the parts for Gamma but he looked like one of the most intimidating ones she’d met. She took a step back trembling in fear now.

"I…I’m s…sorry." She let out a small whimper and raised her hands up in defense. "P…pl…pleas don’t h…hurt me."

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

If Needle had a mouth, he would have frowned. It seemed that this girl wasn't an exception to all of the fearful reactions he had gotten from others...Not that he expected anything different, but that would have been a wonderful change.

Some of Dr. Wily's programming was trying to come up over Needle's own personal desires-- his programming was saying to just shoot Kalinka given that she was a human (and not Dr. Wily), but he honestly didn't want to. So, forcing it out of his processor the best he could, he knelt down to Kalinka's height in order to not be standing over her. Even while kneeling he was still taller, but it was at least better than him standing at his full height.

"I'm not going to hurt you, kid." He said with an irritated sounding tone. He was a little irritated in general, but not as much as his voice suggested. "Can you tell me your name?"

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

Needle would have tilted his head if he had a neck. Instead he opted to look down at Kalinka with a puzzled look. What was a human child doing here??

"...You shouldn't be here. Why are you here?"

[needlehiddeninthehaystack-blog]

Needleman stared down at X, eyes narrowed as he loomed over him. The DWN looked ready to kill, but...

Well. Sure he was bitter most of the time, but he didn't actually want to hurt anyone. It was just his appearance that set other people off.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke. "...Who are you?" His voice didn't really help either, as it sounded low and threatening even though he didn't mean for it to be.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

"Sewing needles." He answered rather bluntly.
