Just say something. I might listen.

You deserve wahtever humans are going to do to you in your sleep, Rock.

[He's as dense as his namesake.]

[tobetheone]

The humans in my room are nice. If something happens, I'll protect them.

[red_song]

The humans in mine are frustrating.

[Mega, they won't protect you.]

[tobetheone]

You don't like them? What's wrong with them?

[red_song]

[Well, they're humans. And he doesn't interact with them much because of that.]

Does the why matter?

[tobetheone]

Of course it matters. Are they hostile to you? You should say something if they've treated you badly.

[red_song]

[Like he would say something ot Mega.]

It isn't your concern, Rock.

[tobetheone]

You are my concern, Blues.

[red_song]

That's bullshit, Rock.

[tobetheone]

You don't think I can protect you?

[red_song]

No.

[tobetheone]

Then give me the chance to prove it.

[red_song]

How?

[tobetheone]

By trusting me? Talking to me? Blues, you're the only brother I have left. I want to know more about your life.

[red_song]

[Whose fault was it that he was the only brother left? And Proto had never had a brother.]

I didn't have one, Rock. Father saw to that.

[tobetheone]

[That is a very complicated question that he would prefer not to answer.]

You have one now. And we can have one together.

[red_song]

[No, that doesn't make sense.]

Why should we? This place is supposedly punishment.

[tobetheone]

You think that means we should face punishment alone? Is that what you want for me?

[red_song]

I'm saying that you shouldn't assume this will stay the way it is.

[tobetheone]

When it changes, we change with it. [It's not hard, brother.]

[red_song]

That isn't what our kind does.

[tobetheone]

We're the only ones of our kind here. We can behave however we want to. And I choose to adapt.

[red_song]

Adapting is human.

[tobetheone]

And you'd prefer obsolescence? Even when you have the chance to change it?

[red_song]

Who said we'd be obsolescent unless they designed into us.
