First Key Excavation Log

[bluehippopotamus]

(Frontdated after things calm down a bit and we're safely on earth)

1. We figured out where the first key resides! It apparently resides in an ancient ruin in Pokte Island, a small tropical island in the equator. I'm going there now! Anyone want to join me? But uh... I don't think you could bring your giant mechs inside, though...

2. After trudging through the jungle for what seems like hours, you see what seems to be a small village surrounded by wooden palisade. And on the outskirt? You see two familiar yellow robots.



Servbot 1: What do you think is that? Do you think it's some kind of ruins or something?

Servbot 2:  Hmm... should we go in and explore or not? Do you think it might be dangerous?

(Aah, really sorry! I forgot to say that I meant for this prompt to be in one thread)

Here, here~!

[Neptune is going to try poking one of the Servbots in the meantime, much like a person would do to a cat. It's obvious she finds them amusing too.]

Now that they've kindly told us where their boss is, what do we do with 'em?

[saikyocivrobo]

Just ignore them. They're harmless.

[Prometheus, on the other hand, has a different idea. With a hammy gesture, he commands the Servbots to follow him instead! He is boss after all.]

[tsunpirate]

As long as you don't hurt us, Boss Prommy!

[tsunpirate]

As long as he doesn't hurt you? Oh for god's sake...

*A gazebo-sized mech in the shape of a crab jumps from the village in front of you.*



Long time no see, White Chalice people. And you, Rock. You're looking as good as ever! Well, as good as you can, considering how that good-for-nothing blonde treats you!

[bluehippopotamus]

Hello Tron. Huh, whaddya mean?

[tsunpirate]

When I ran into Miss Blondie, she told me all sorts of things, like how she's glad she doesn't have to go out on Digs with you! Do you think that's fair? She gets to relax, while you run around getting shot at! Don't you think that's a little strange?

Wait! There's more! Haven't you ever noticed that she's keeping some of the money you give her for weapons development--for herself!? She's skimming off the top, and you don't even realize it!

She makes you all sorts of equipment and weapons, right? Do you
really think it costs THAT much? You really are thick, aren't you? She was showing off how much money she saved by stealing from you!

[bluehippopotamus]

Wha... Skimming? Uh... Roll would never say those kind of things!

[fermionprincess]

Ah, could it be - miss Tron makes a sudden and dramatic reappearance!

What is this strangeness you speak of, my kind lady?!

[Alessadra grabs the servbot tighter.]

[alwaysmyturn]

[Neptune takes a moment to think about what Tron's brought up. When she speaks, she raises her index finger too.]

Actually, that sounds perfectly normal for a supporting character.

They have to earn a living somehow, right?

[saikyocivrobo]

I appreciate the thought, but don't apply your game logic here, Neppu. This is reality.

Don't listen to her, kid. She's just trying to rustle your jimmies, you know.

[Prometheus seems more than happy that the Servbots listen to him again, because he pretty much ignores the situation at hand.]

[tsunpirate]

How can you be so sure? You can't judge a book by it's cover! She might look sweet and innocent, but how do you know what she's really like?

*Suddenly Roll's voice got broadcasted in the open*

Uh, I was hoping you wouldn't find out about that, Rock!

But I guess it's too late to try to hide it now that Tron's told you. Don't worry about me, you don't need to come back; you can team up with the Bonne Family!



Well, maybe...If he gets on his hands and knees and begs me, I might
consider it! You really don't care if I have him? Maybe he can help me getting the key to the ruin from the bullheaded village chief....

[bluehippopotamus]

What? Roll? Roll! Answer me!

No! I won't believe that! You must've done something to Roll!

*Rock starts to power up his buster gun and points it at the crab bot*

[fermionprincess]

Ah, another documented case of brainwashing?! How vile, I would never expect a woman of science to stoop so low!

[Alessandra throws the servbot away and draws her sword. Not that she can do much with a human-sized blade against a big robot like that, but she points it at Tron's machine defiantly anyway!]

[tsunpirate]

Brainwashing? Me? I... Hey, stop shooting! Oh, Alright, I'll make you my servant by defeating you, Rock!

*The crab bot start spreading energy balls everywhere

Meanwhile, Roll's voice keep getting broadcasted once in a while.*



"Don't forget to pick milk on the way home, Rock"

"I hate you Rock."

"Stop shooting Tron!"

[fermionprincess]

Psychological assault in concord with physical one? How devious... ah, ah ah! Fire not your projectiles this way, miss Tron the pirate!

[Alessandra is actually quite good at tumbling and dodging, despite her full armor. Small size does help.]

[saikyocivrobo]

Gah! My suit barely has any weapons! Prometheus, get her attention!

[While dodging to the side with his jump jets, Werter throws the small robot at Tron's machine, aiming for the cockpit!]

[alwaysmyturn]

Neppu!! That's not fair!

[Sorry, she's too busy running around to try to avoid those energy balls to do much for now!]

Ow, ow, ow!!

[tsunpirate]

Hey! Stop moving around so much! It's not fair! There are so many of you!

*Bonk!*

Ow! Don't cover my view, whatever you are! Aaargh! Servbots! Where are you guys!?

*And finally one of Rock's own energy balls hit something important*

KABOOOM!



Miss Trooon!

[bluehippopotamus]

...ock. Rock? Finally! I don't know what happened, but your transmission suddenly got cut off! I think there's a jammer there or something.

Huh? What is it, MegaMan?



Roll! I knew you'd never say things like that!



Say things like what? Are you OK, MegaMan? You didn't get hit in the head or anything, did you?
