compnetwork | 1st Whistle [video]

[There are a million ways this video could have started, more so since it's being done from the watch device instead of the glasses, like showing the person who is using it's face!

But nope, for the first few minutes the network is shown a lovely scene of the ceiling as Blues had turned it on to do the whole "Introduce yourself, and get used to being here" deal he had come to realize is the current situation. And judging by the heavy stomping that can be heard off screen? He's none to happy about that.

Ah but! The ceiling scene does change! Finally, of course it's replaced by a red gauntlet grabbing the watch and covering the screen before a young man mutters something. The screen quickly flashes a grey body suit with a red belt, and are those clunky red boots and a flashy yellow scarf? Before settling on the user's face, which is frowning, and his eyes are hidden behind a pair of shades too.]

... Hello, I guess. If anyone is even using this that is.

[Conversation! Only he looks awkward, as if talking to a camera is something he's never done before. Like, at all.

Oh yeah... maybe he could give out his name.]

Name's Blues.

[Yep, he seems... fine with that. So off the feed goes. ~~Proto Man was here, Mega Man is a loser.~~]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Mia liked to flip through the network on occasion, but the shaky camera and humorous appearance caught her attention a little.

But it's mostly the name. So much like cheesy usernames people would use for their characters in games!]

No relation to Blue, Bluez, Baloo, B1u3, or Broo, I assume?

[Not like he would understand the joke, but it only matters that she's the one laughing.]

[Yeah it goes right over his head. Heck his response, while sounding confused, is completely serious.]

You'd assume right, that and I don't have any family.

Interesting. Did you chose your own name?

No my... Creator gave it to me.

[Also man, he wants to ask why she's a cat or if she's a robot.]

"Creator"! Interesting. You're a lot more interesting than I thought.

Well... So are you.

[Then he says it.]

Since you're a cat.

Not exactly.

[But let's brush right over that, shall we! She thinks she's boring in comparison.]

Who was your creator? A programmer?

[But but... Blues thinks she's interesting, he's never met a talking cat person!]

No he is a roboticist, actually.

Oh? And what does that mean, exactly? I've only heard it in passing.

It means he makes robots.

Yes?

[That's the part she doesn't know about!]

[... Really?]

You.. Don't know what a robot is, do you?

I've only heard the term in passing. What is it?

A robot is a machine that moves on it's own, they're made by humans and most of them can only follow basic commands. Or what they've been programmed to do.

[He pauses before adding.]

But there are certain robots that go beyond that. There aren't many of those though.

Oh, that's the name you have for it, instead of AIs.

Um... Sort of? Robots have Artificial Intelligence, that's their programming really.

So the only difference is that you have a built body. So you see humans for what they are.

[That's... a weird thing to say.]

... Only certain ones.

[Mia chuckles.]

I see them for how they want to be seen. How they see their ideal selves, or what they see as "fun". This place is the first chance I've had to see just how plain they really are. How mundane they can really be.

Well... Yes, but that's just how they are.

But it's interesting, don't you think? Trying to understand what they do, why they do it... they're so fun.

No, not really. I don't care to be too involved with them.

[Or anyone really.]

Really? You only prefer the company of other... robots? [Almost said AI, there.]

Or are you trying to be alone? Because you're doing quite poorly to make yourself alone.

Like I said, there aren't many robots like myself in my world.

[Of course he kept himself isolated, for a good reason in his own mind.]

Not responding would be rude, miss.

"Miss"? [Oh, she laughs quite loudly at that.] I'm Mia. You can call me that.

You're interesting, Blues. I like you.
