Rachel: S...So, what do we do now...?
???: Hmph. Considering the state of things now...you're more than welcome to have him to futility assist you in your worthless goals. A flawed specimen to begin with. It's clearly no wonder why what was his simply got given to the next one of our numbers.
Robert: -his arm flinches, instinctively clenching into a fist...before he's knocked clean out his wheelchair with a swift blur of neon-blue movement and crashes against a wall, crumpling in a heap-
???: -casually puts away a rather menacing energy scythe- ...Pathetic. Defective shell. You should've just accepted your fate by rejoining our numbers. -merely shrugs, eye glaring at Kyubey- Hmph. See how far you get...Incubator. You'll soon see soon enough. -quietly departs, fading from sight-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Homura: No! (for the first time in a long while she looks concerned and devastated) (checks Robert to see if he's alive and she can heal him)
Kyubey: If you can... Please... Make a contract with me and become a Magical Boy. (his smile dissapears for an instant)
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.-The impact seems to have shaken Robert's body considerably, his vision rather hazy. The healing does somewhat dull the pain, yet...the magic does little to heal the damage as the bandage on his arm falls away, revealing very little skin covering the mechanical limb beneath, artificial muscles flex and rest and considering it goes up to his shoulder and further...-
Robert: -winces- ...Hah. You...must be joking. Why would you...want an empty artificial life fighting for you...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Rachel: ...Hal...Esther...?
Robert: ...Pity? ...You don't need to pity me. This was my choice...and it's my choice that my wish...is that I can hope for my sister to have a normal life. ...Please give let her be able to hear again and be happy... Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.
Kyubey: The currents in your chips are close enough to nerve cells for the wish to form. I have no true idea of the abilities of a mechanical Magical Girl, much less a male one. But are you sure this is what you wish?
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Kyubey: (takes his ear thingies out at Robert and forms a soul gem) I hope this wish brings you happiness.
Homura: (is silent)
[[spoiler: Details if you want. Steel gray sounds like a logical color.''
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.That's what I was intending, yep. Great minds think alike. :D
Robert: -gives a weak smile and gratefully takes the silver-grey Soul-Gem in his hands and gently holding it to his chest- ...I wasn't expecting to even have a soul anymore...yet, there's still this tiny fragment left...then... -closes his eyes, tears falling down his face-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Kyubey: Data and soul aren't that different from a mechanical perspective. But your wish is untested, especially in account of your gender. As a mage aligned with us you cannot die as long as your soul gem is intact and you possess magic and hope. I just hope I won't get in trouble for this.... Can I tell the others that I used this as an opputunity to explore alternate entropy reversal sources?
Homura: What the hell is going on you? Since when do you care about anything other than your bottom line? Since when can you lie?
Kyubey: ...
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Robert: ...I think I've got plenty of hope to keep me going now. I don't have much to offer except for...whatever powers I have, but even if this is just fragments of data or an actual soul...I'm going to hold on to it for as long as I can. ...I'll try not to let you down. -gives a small smile, trying to wipe away his tears-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Kyubey: (purrs)
Homura: This one really is an anomaly. I hope to aid you Robert wherever your path takes you.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Kyubey: I can be patient. I've been patient for all of my life.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Jo: (wanders by Rachel humming badly)
Kyubey: Lucky you have the most powerful Magical Girl in the world by your side.
Homura: Flattery... Odd.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Robert: ...When you say it like that, you make it sound like we'd have more success fighting together. Not that I don't appreciate the help...I really do. -tries spinning or turning the Soul-Gem around which...seems to have turned into a silver tie- ...This is ridiculous...
Rachel: P-Please. I feel a little...edg- Wait, um, say that again...and you, k-keep humming...please? Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.
