[Ladies & gents: Scout. He's not the brightest. Just don't tell him that! Anyone who's talked to him so far may have gotten this idea. He's seen a lot of weird things in this town, but something has been brought to his attention that is really bugging him.]

[unfiltered voice post! filtering, what is that]

OK, I know this town is super-friggin'-weird, an' that people who get pulled inta this town may not necessarily be from the same place I am from... however THAT works. But I've also been told people 'round here also think they are countries? How can a person be a country? That... that is not possible. A person cannot be a country. A person is a person, and they LIVE in countries, they cannot BE a country. An' I haven't seen anyone runnin' around here... shaped like... France 'r somethin'...

[At this point even he's not sure where this is going.]

ANYWAY. If yer one of these people, I would love it if you could explain ta me how this even works, otherwise I'm callin' bullshit on alla youse. Otherwise, it'd sure as hell be nice if ONE thing in this stupid town made sense!

this is actually easier for him to swallow than all this other insanity

....no Massimo, I was NOT aware 'a this fact. You're... you're seriously a robot? That... that is kinda awesome, man!

pffft, it usually is for most people |D

You... really think it's cool? R-really?

[[Oh. Um. Egoboost?]]

The proper term for me is 'reploid,' but for most people, it's easier to say robot. I'm not a robot at the moment because of Mayfield, but I usually am.

"Reploid"? Can't say I ever heard of that. No wonder you made friends with Engie, this kinda stuff is right up his alley. So you seriously WERE a robot until ya got here? So they take that kinda stuff away too? Damn, that's nuts. What did you do as a robot?! Did ya have, like, missles 'n' lasers 'n' shit?!

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

I'm supposedly from the future, so that might be why.

B-but, yeah, I... actually did have missiles and lasers. Well. One laser, anyway. A big one. A-and a really big axe.

I was fighting in a war to help save the world.

[Scout is seriously impressed with this.] Damn, bro! That's awesome. Well this town give you shit back sometimes, right? Maybe they'll be dumb enough to give you some missiles back and we can blow the shit out of the police station! I think we should team up wit' one of these country-people and stage an invasion. We can take over Mayfield! I think I need to talk to America.

I'm all for getting out of here, but I... I don't want to do anything violent!

[[biggest wuss ever. literally.]]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What? But you have missiles an' shit! Ain't that what they're for? Besides, they're drones so they hardly count!

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

I had good reason for taking people down at home, they were hurting innocent lives.

[[OH, WAIT. MAYFIELD'S DOING THAT AS WELL.]]

...I... maybe you're right. Let me think about it first, okay?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah man! Think it over. First, I gotta talk to that America guy... or girl, I hear there's both. Then I gotta come up wit' a new plan. Get back to me, bro!

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

A-alright.

[[ffff, he's ridiculously worried.]]
