Audio, 001 [ID: Rock Light]

[Surprisingly, the first thing to notice about the audio is probably how -clear- it is. There's very little (if any) background noise, almost as if it's from someone with built-in communication. Of course, it kind of is.

The second is that is -definitely- some weird prepubescent voice.]

Haha, maybe I should have access this board... earlier. I got here, and then there was that whole big ceremony, and it just kind of slipped by me...though, to be honest, this flows more like a chatroom. Are we using some sort of ICU-variant? Do I need to ask for people's UINs?

Oh, maybe I got off to the wrong start.

Hi! I'm Rock. I'm the son of Dr. Light - well, one of them, anyway, and... well, he built me and my brother and sister and all my other brothers! I guess I'm kind of on my own right now, though. Which leads me to my first question.

How many people have experience with robots and robotics? I mean, it's okay if you don't. I was just wondering. Knowing someone to come to for the occasional repair might be handy, given my reputation back home.

Anyway! I might not necessarily have wanted to be here, but if anyone needs my help, I'll do my best!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

If this was a real chatroom, at least half of us would have been banned by now. Including me.

So, you know. Everything's got its pros and cons.

Dare I ask -why-? Or is that best saved for another conversation?

Why me or why in general? Because the answer is both huge assholes.

Oh, come on, they can't be that bad, right?

Besides, you seem nice enough!

Oh, yeah? Ask Tempo up there how she met me.

[because it involves being hit by a car, ragdolling into a lamppost, and then pretending to be a robot.]

And trust, pretty much everyone else is a slow slide from bad to worse. The network's an ugly place.

Iii think I'll pass.

[HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ANY LESS OF YOU. SO HE WON'T.]

I'm sure there's plenty of good people around, even if they act like jerks - not like Detective Stern was ever what I would call 'friendly'.

Look, I'm just saying. You can either be disappointed now or later when it's really important.

...did you seriously know someone who was a shitbag whose name was Stern? Like, his actual real name?

I don't know, I don't think I'll be that disappointed. You apologized, right?

Yeah! Gilbert Stern. He was a detective. Older guy, doesn't really care for robots.

Apologized for what? Apologies are for sad, desperate people.

I'm getting the feeling you're lying just to have a convenient comparison to make right now.

They're also for letting people know you're sorry? I mean, if she forgave you, that's fine too. [LOOK HE'S GOOD ALIGNMENT OK, MORAL DILEMMAS ARE WEIRD.]

I'm not, though. He was really gruff and wore a big ooat and grumbled a lot. But it's okay, since Miss Krantz made sure I knew he didn't really mean it.

I'm never sorry. Sorry is a feeling for people whose decision making skills aren't impeccable like mine.

Uh huh. Does her first name happen to be Rose N., for curiosity's sake?

Come on now, no one's perfect. Even machines can make mistakes!

Roslyn, but close! How'd you know?

I'm not perfect, but my life choices are. There's a difference.

Because you're a goddamn liar with the absolute worst sense of humor I've met recently. These aren't fresh or clever!!!

[she's giving some leeway here because Josuke. love you bro, you're the top of all of her lists especially the shitty ones.]

Maybe you should give some pointers, then.

I'm not lying though? Detective Roslyn Krantz and Gilbert Stern. They're friends of mine.

[Also not a lie: Insisting he's lying is kiiinda gettin' on his electronic nerves.]

If you need to be taught, it's never going to happen. You either have it or you don't.

Sure, ok. And I used to hitch rides from a guy called Othello Moor back home.

I'm not sure Dr. Light built me with whatever you'd call "good life decisions".

That's their real names! Or are you going to yell about my brother and sister and I having matching names, too?

Was he a cool guy? Then he probably tried his best. Dads are pretty good about that.

[she's willing to let up when it comes to family issues. parents are important, ok.]

Why do I care if you guys got bullied at robo-kindergarten because someone took a theme too far? That happens all the time.

[...mostly. nobody's perfect.]

He's pretty great! He tries really hard but... Dr. Wily has caused him -and us - a lot of trouble.

I don't know! You seem weird about names. I'm just telling you about the people where I come from.

Yeah, well. Not everyone gets a lucky draw from the universe.

I'm not weird about names, you're the one throwing these stupid names around here, not me!!!!

I suppose asking if you want to talk about it would be considered impolite, this early, huh?

They're the names I know! Why would I lie about that? I just got here a few days ago?

There's not really anything to talk about. Some people have to slog through constant monsoons of shit and some people don't. It's pretty simple.

Well I sure don't know why you'd want to lie about that. I only just met you.

Well, that's why I'm here, I guess. Help people get through the rough parts as best I can.

Then why are you saying I'd lie about it? I have no reason to. I just want to help.

Edited 2015-05-24 02:59 (UTC)

So, what, you're Therapy Bot? That's not exactly as cute to imagine as a therapy dog, you know.

People don't 'just want to help'. And they sure as hell don't keep saying it over and over.

Technically, I'm a lab assistant. I just get forced into fighting other robots a lot. But I can adapt to help other people. It's kind of my... specialty.

I guess I can't get you to trust me right away, but I have no ill intent to speak of - there's not a faulty circuit in my system.

Ok, so you're Darwin Bot. That's a little cooler.

Ouch. Now there's a bad line if I ever heard one. You really need to work on these.
