cyn hiiii!! 👋 got home from magfest about a week ago!! had the BEST time there!! <3 decided to take a little break from rp because it seemed like there was a lot going on. . .!! not quite sure if im gonna be active again just yet buuut i do miss it and i hope everyone’s doing well!! ^_^

“You are certain you feel no abnormalities? If that is the case. . I’ll be on my way. I guess you can go back to playing your video games because you don’t seem to listen to my warnings regardless.” 💢

“I would have preferred if it was a joke that fell flat.” Tempo crosses her arms. “Do your exhaustion levels feel abnormal? Anything we should be concerned about?”

“Why is it that the two of you are always at some sort of odds?”

“. . . Forgive me. You know I have difficulty detecting jokes and sarcasm. That is not the actual reason, is it?”

“And you still continue to do so? Is there something so important that it’s worth risking your well-being? You aren’t exactly the workaholic type like Tron, but you do push yourself in your own regard. .”

“You are aware of the dangers of putting this kind of unnecessary strain on your body, correct? Especially for you.” Tempo’s expression is very unamused looking. Moreso than usual.

“Blues.”

“Do not.”

cyn my activity will probably be pretty spotty starting today until around the 13th!! ill be around on my main + discord most likely!! ^_^ feel free to add me on those!! <3

. . . .! "It's just like you not to stay in one place, so I should not be surprised. But let me know next time you're going to take an absence, maybe?"

cyn my bad..........

“. . . . What?”

“Yes. That is. . . fairly easy to guess. I wonder if they have any sort of resolution to better themselves as well. . .?”

“Your temper? I see. It can be very. . strong. It’s not something I experience often. At least not to any sort of extreme degree but I will assist you in any way I can.”

“I cannot help but think I should do more to show my thanks somehow.”

“I’ll keep working on being more. . expressive. And understanding others in that regard. I owe much of my current progress to Tron and Blues. I hope to be able to repay them.”

“I’ll keep working on being more. . expressive. And understanding others in that regard. I owe much of my current progress to Tron and Blues. I hope to be able to repay them.”

“Oh, Tron? It is good to see you. What brings you over this time?”

“If those two would just get along.”

“I’d rather you didn’t at all.”

“Please refrain from eating too much of it. I have concerns about how healthy that could be.”

“. . . . You like it?”

She’s thinking that she should’ve gotten more. “Yes, they are. . enjoyable.”

“I am glad you seem to like them.” Tempo takes a bite out of the gifted rock candy. Much more pleasant than actual rocks in this aspect.

“Edible rocks. . I suppose you were pretty adamant about the pizza before.” There’s a small smile on her face. “Thank you, Bon. These are very intriguing. I do have something for you as well.” She sets the bag down for a moment, and goes to retrieve something. She returns with a

“Oh? Bon, you really did not have to. . . . I half expected to be taken on another trip somewhere.” Tempo accepts the gift bag.

. . . That was Bon, surely. She had no problem with it though. Was he hungry again, she wondered? She opens the door to greet Bon.

“. . . Let’s keep that away from any bodies of water. I do have to ask, you thought this was a good idea to give to them given their. . history? It seems like a dangerous choice.”

“I feel like there are much better disposal methods, also. But it would be a waste. You clearly took your time to create it, I would not just throw it away.”

“I see. . .? That hardly seems like a reason to do something like that. Trying to figure them out honestly makes me worry I may fry my own circuits thinking about it too hard sometimes. But I am sorry you put in the work to make something for them, only to be treated that way.”

“Maybe they have difficulties figuring out their own feelings as well, making them behave that way? I wonder if those instances could have overwhelmed them in a sense? It does not excuse their treatment of you, though. I very strongly dislike the fact they cause you physical harm.

“That first part is good. I do not think it’s stupid to feel that way. I would. . imagine anyone would be upset if this occurred. Twice? Forgive me if I am wrong, you are well aware of my trouble with reading these kinds of thing. But maybe you do not hate them as much as you say?

< @dln-000.bsky.social > “Blues.” She hands him a pair of sunglasses nearly identical to the ones he already has. . . with an almost comically large bow taped to them. “Merry Christmas.”

It’s too early in the morning for capslock now. Tempo is glad she seems to like it! It was a very. . ‘practical’ gift. Since she already had one before, it was something she knew that Tron would like! “Of course. I hope you are feeling better now. . .?”

“. . . . ! Amethyst. Not particularly hard to find, but it looks nice.” SHE’S VERY HAPPY, EVEN IF SHE DOESN’T SOUND THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC. “Thank you, Tron. I will treasure this. Naturally, I have something for you as well. TEMPO GRABS HER GIFT FOR TRON. IT’S A WRENCH. NEARLY IDENTICAL

OKAY. I’LL USE CAPSLOCK TOO. TEMPO ANSWERS THE DOOR.

“I. . see. . .? I am glad to see the damage seems at least less than last time.” Tempo frowns, what was the point of having her do that?

That was a different tone for sure. Irritation? Maybe it’s from the pain? “. . . Am I to assume the usual suspect did this?” She starts on her way back to Tron’s.

She sighs, crouching down to her level and scooping her up off of the ground. “Let’s get you home, okay?”

Looking down at her in concern and. . bafflement. Again? How does something like this happen more than once? “Tron. . .? Can you hear me?”

“You guys know I'm a very emotional person, don't you...? Occasionally, I can't help but feel the urge to scream. One day, iCO suddenly said to me, ‘I envy you for being able to be like this.’ I felt at the time that she was looking down on me.” Droitclair, from Mega Man X DiVE. Canon-divergent.

“It would not.”

“No.”

"Ow? I apologize, I didn't realize it was that hard. That was my attempt at 'comfort.'"

. . . Comfort really wasn't her strong point. Especially not for those she wasn't that familiar with. She awkwardly reaches out and pats him on the back, probably a little stronger than necessary. "There, there?"

“Very strange, you are correct. I still do not understand it. Because you are an only child, you are lonely? Is that a correct assumption?”

Tempo didn’t have the slightest idea of what he was thinking. Hardly knew him at all, really. But if he was so enthusiastic about the new sibling thing, maybe she should at least attempt to engage. . “What are you doing up here?”

cyn the only one i have is the one he shared!!!
