Hey, uh....hi. Everyone.

[Sup network, have a very unsure-sounding small child.]

This is probably a really weird question, but, um...is anybody looking for sparring partners? Because I'd love to! Uh, be sparring partners, I mean. If anyone wants to.

A-and you won't have to teach me! ...I mean, I already know how to fight, so you won't...I don't need lessons or anything first. Not that lessons are bad or anything! I just, um, I'm just looking for people to practice with...?

I promise I'm really good.

[He feels so, so very awkward right now. He's not used to having to ask around like this, he's honestly not sure if there's protocols or something he needs to be following. Are there rules for this? There's probably rules for this. Oh god what is he doing please send help.]

Why not?

Sure, i'd love to practice too, it keeps us ready for what might come.

Permavoice

[megabytes]

Really? That's great!

[A tiny child should not sound this excited at the prospect of combat practice. He's been so bored.]

When should we plan to meet up? ...Oh! And where do you live?

[dualismum]

[ Sasaki will probably go easy on him at first. it IS a child. ]

Whenever you want. I live in heropa, number 4. But we should probably do this at a gym of sorts.

[megabytes]

[Just don't tell him that, he's very...touchy about that kind of logic. To put it mildly.]

Oh, yes, of course! I just wanted to know what city I'd be going to meet you in. But you live pretty close by, which is great! I can probably find a good place around here for us to practice at!

[cuff]

[ This is potentially so tentative because he has no idea who he's talking to, and there is a certifiable problem here--]

How old are you, kid. [ because you sound so tiny. ]

Permavoice

[megabytes]

[He is tiny. So very, very tiny. It is a misleading smallness do not trust it.]

Why does it matter? I said I can fight!

me too!

[cuff]

[ .. WOW just make yourself sound twice as young. ]

'Cause you're gonna get someone signing up to take you out that's a giant compared to you. [ Cause you're probably short. Shorty. ]

[megabytes]

Tch, I've taken down opponents three times my size!

[And four times his size. And ten times. And big enough that his head literally didn't even clear their feet. Honestly at this point size has lost all meaning to him.

Except for the couple inches of height he has on his brother, those are very important because Reasons.]

Communicator shows Danny Phantom [video]

[schrodingersghost]

[Oh, look. Here is a white haired glowing boy peering into the communicator. ]

Uh, aren't you a little young to be looking for a fight?

[Not that Danny had much room to talk. He'd started when he was fourteen. ]

Permavoice

[megabytes]

[Uuuuuuugh what is with people being concerned about his age? Child models can fight just as well as anybody else!

Though his default Indignant Huffing is cut short by the fact that Danny is, well, visibly glowing. That is. That is Odd And Unsettling. Also that comm tag has the word "phantom" in it HE HAS A GREAT MANY CONCERNS.]

...I don't see what my age has to do with anything. [Just ignore that nervous undertone to his stubborn sulking, it means nothing.]

Re: Permavoice

[schrodingersghost]

[There's just something weird about someone who sounds that young asking for someone to fight, okay. ]

Um, because most people don't want to get yelled at for getting into fights with kids. That kind of thing just sounds bad, you know?

[megabytes]

It's just practice. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Sorry, non-human logic is in play. Expect more weirdness the longer this conversation goes on.]

voice

[maglevflash]

You know, if you want to tell people you're capable, it might help to have a little confidence.

[Looking at these other replies and being entirely amused. Can you hear it, Megaman?]

Permavoice

[megabytes]

[BUT BIG SIIIIIIS THEY'RE PICKING ON HIIIIIIIIM.]

I just didn't want to insult anybody! I've never done this before!

[maglevflash]

[It's not their fault you're so smol!]

I don't see how asking for a sparring partner is going to insult someone. And if it does they probably make a pretty crappy partner.

Besides, you could have just asked me.

[megabytes]

[It's not his fault either! POUTING FOR DAYS.]

...I wasn't sure how to ask... [He means in general, but it definitely applies to just asking Gogo too.]

( voice)

[drizzle]

Weird? You'd think there would be more of these type of requests going around. With the way we were brought here and asked to join their cause, I think it's expected to pair up and help each other grow stronger. Maybe even recommended.

[Once she has voiced her thoughts, she'll wonder about his age, but after talking to some of the children around here, it may not be as farfetch for there to be so many young warrior types around.]

Have you found a sparring partner yet?

Permavoice

[megabytes]

Well, I dunno if I could help people like that...I just don't want to get rusty. [Also, he's kinda bored. Sparring is his idea of fun.] I'm not sure it's a good idea to try training with natives, so I figured it'd be better to ask other imPorts.

And I've got a few people, I think. But more is always better!

[drizzle]

It's still a good reason to ask though. As long as you don't have the intention in wanting to severely harm someone as you spar. Maybe I'm a little old fashion to believe that everyone has some type of responsibility in learning to better defend themselves than completely expect the army to always be able to save the day. [A small shrug.] But I kinda agree that training with other imPorts may be for the best if you want to go all out.

What kind of powers do you have? Also, what is your style of fighting?

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Well, if you want to spar with me, you know where to contact me. Feel free to ask any time.

Permatext

[megabytes]

You want to? Are you sure?

[He did kinda shank you relatively recently. And then go full Berzerker Rage on you afterwards. It feels like this is the opposite of how people usually react to those sorts of things.]

[hypnotherapy]

I wouldn't say anything if I wasn't sure, Megaman.

It's fine. Don't worry about all that, it's over with. [ Seriously, he's fine. ]

voice

[virusbusting]

I'll fight you if you want!

[Lan no.

Also he could probably just say this in person, but that would be less interesting.

Also he doesn't really intend to fight Megaman, he just wants to see if he accepts the challenge.]

Voice

[megabytes]

No.

[And nobody was surprised.]

Re: Voice

[virusbusting]

[Just before this message is sent, there's a loud MEEEGAAAA from another room.]

Why not? I can fight a little bit and you don't have any chips.
