Fathers Day Blues

[whistles_the_blues]

Who: Blues and YOU!
What: Blues is moping around!
When: Today! Afternoon!
Where: Duck Pond
Rating: PG for Robot Angst

Normally if Blues wasn't in the mood to see anyone or do anything, he'd just stay in his room. Today unfortunately all the equipment he had set up in there just reminded him of a certain person.

Doctor Thomas Light, His Father. The man who had introduced Blues to the world, tried to include him in every aspect of his life. Until Blues' power core had turned to be fatally flawed. After that, he was forgotten about, replaced, left to die. Well, then he woke up here and at least for the moment, has a new lease on life.

So today Blues can be found out at the Duck Pond, skipping stones off the water to pass the time as he wastes the day away.

"Before? Hm. Hard to say, once I started traveling I never really stopped. Spent most of my life doing that. Helped who I could along the way. I never really stayed in one spot long enough to do anything."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"That must have been a lonely life..."

[whistles_the_blues]

He shrugs. It was, but he wouldn't just up and say it like that to her.

"I never really fit in with humans, and there were no other machines that could think like I could."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Maybe now would be a good time to pick up a hobby you could do with other people"

[whistles_the_blues]

"Hm... Maybe. I usually prefer to do things alone." He usually prefers to be alone, but it's not like he's shoo'd her off or anything.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Well that's no fun. Doing fun things with other people is what makes life worth living!"

[whistles_the_blues]

"I'm content to do what I want, it doesn't matter whether I'm by myself or with someone else."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Being content doesn't sound enough, though" Chie shrugs.

[whistles_the_blues]

"I don't see a problem with it."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Chie shook her head. She thinks it's probably because he's a robot that his concept of fun is different? But she's not sure.

"I guess that's not bad that you don't see a problem with it. But don't you want more than that? Ever thought of living a normal life like us humans?"

[whistles_the_blues]

"I already have more than I expected, so I don't see a reason to complain." He scoffed a little at her next question.

"Maybe once, but I've got no problem with who or what I am. I wouldn't change a thing about me."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Okay..." Chie nods. Yeah, she's not really in a great mood herself to be a good source of sunshine and rainbows right now. But she thought she could ask "Looks like you're got nothing to do right now. Want to do something?"

[whistles_the_blues]

Blues isn't usually one to accept sunshine and rainbows anyways.

"...What do you have in mind?"

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Have you been to the game room?"

[whistles_the_blues]

"Once or twice." ...He played vidjagames with Spike before he left.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Yeah, we could try something. They got some pretty decent simulators in there!" Get ready for some DDR, man.

[whistles_the_blues]

"We could take a look." It beat the hell out of moping around here. ...DDR? Have you seen his feet?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Awesome!" Chie stands and raises both her arms in celebration. "There's a game I want to have someone to play with, come on!" Chie motioned Blues to follow.

[whistles_the_blues]

And follow along he will. "What's the game? I've only played Zombies in a Mall before."

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Hmm, I haven't played that one before, but it sounds fun! Zombies kind of freak me out, though"

[whistles_the_blues]

"It's just a game, can't say they bother me too much. You never answered my question, what game do you have in mind?"

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Dance Off! It's a game with a camera that copies your every move. So it's both game and exercise!"

[whistles_the_blues]

"So, you're expecting me to dance?"

[pint_sized_carnivore]

"Of course!"

[whistles_the_blues]

"Not really my style." He shrugged a little.

"But I suppose I'll give it a shot."
