 the Awkward Questions meme

 

Does your character have a deep, dark secret? An embarrassing past? A sensitive issue? Something they really don't want to talk about? Well, too bad. That thing is now written on a bright red sticker stuck to their chest, and it won't peel off no matter how hard they try. Uh oh!

Rules:

1. Post with your character. Write out what their sticker says - it can be something dark ("Ask me about all the people I've killed"), something gossipy ("Ask me about my crush on my best friend"), something silly ("Ask me about my fear of clowns") or something vague ("Ask me about my secret identity.") No blank top levels, please!
2. Comment to other people asking about the thing.
3. Have fun and be awkward.

--oh! Oh, I mean it's the best having an awesome cat friend, wasn't calling him an "it".

... buuuuut it sounds like maybe it's not the best for him, either.

So.

Whoops.

[catleaping]

We grew up together, so it's more like he's family than a best friend, yeah. And.. well, it is right now. But I don't think he'd choose to be a robot cat.

[ A pause. Actually she's not sure if he would or not. Like Rebecca, his only concern was being able to stay with her, so robot or cat, maybe he was as Happy as his namesake. It didn't matter that much to her, except when dealing with thugs who just thought he was a 'valuable object' to be stolen. ]

[trashmetal]

Yeah, I dunno if I would either. 808 is awesome and all, but she's always been a robot cat. I dunno if that would be for me.

Maybe if I could be like... a robot dragon? Or maybe a robot bear! That'd be pretty sick.

[catleaping]

That's...um. Sure, I guess.

I wouldn't want to be any of those things, myself. I know someone who would probably agree with you though.

[trashmetal]

Don't get me wrong, I wanna be me at the end of the day! But I'm not against a little robotic enhancement.

[ He says, lazily waving his robotic hand as if to say "for example". ]

Any chance your buddy can get changed back, though?

[catleaping]

I've met people who have enhanced themselves through cybernetic implants or complete replacements - giving people a second chance at life or day to day activities. But for Happy, No - well, maybe in another reality he might be able to have his real body, but there's no "changing back" in his case.

[trashmetal]

What if someone built him a human-shaped robot body? I know some nerds who could totally do it!





I say "nerds" very respectfully.

[catleaping]

[ ... now she's confused. Maybe she explained poorly? ]

Why would he want a human shaped robot body? He's a cat, not a human.

[ On the other hand, Pino was the robot who wanted to be a human, so she'd probably jump at that possibility. ]

[trashmetal]

Oh! When you said they wouldn't choose to be a cat, I just... sort of assumed... they were... a person...

For some reason...





My bad.

[catleaping]

Oh! No, no, I said he wouldn't choose to be a robot cat. If someone were to give him the two options of having a robot cat body, or having his own body, I don't think he would choose the robot one.

[trashmetal]

But what about a half robot cat? So he's still like a cat, but maybe he can shoot lasers out of his eyes or play music out of his butt.

[catleaping]

[ Erm. From the look on her face she clearly thought little of those possibilities. Well, the last one more than anything else. ]

Hrm... I really don't think he would want to be like a cat, or a half-robot, half-cat.

[ .. and if he did, she'd do her very best to talk him out of such a bad idea. Especially the last one. ]

[trashmetal]

[ He doesn't seem to notice her displeasure at his suggestions. This may or may not be because his situational awareness is just as bad as his ability to come up with decent cat robot ideas. ]

Well, I guess in the end all that matters is that he gets to be who he wants to be. Or at least that he's comfortable with who he is, right?

[catleaping]

[ Dense men are nothing new to Rebecca, she's literally surrounded by them on the ship. ]

Yeah, that's what I've always told him. He's been like that for a little under ten years, so he's long come to be used to his body now.
