I'm not that big on waiting, but I can take it slow...

Who: Washu Hakubi and Megabyte
When: That Thursday That Never Ennnds (The Third)
Where: At the baseball diamond.
Summary: Megabyte's defining insanity and Washu's here to offer him a thesaurus.... And then promptly give him something new to avoid for the next forever Thursdays.
Warnings: Bullshitting science crap.

[Washu's conversation with the Network gave her some food for thought, but, more than that, it gave her something to direct her focus on. Just the Core wasn't enough, especially when it wasn't easily available to her, but this 'creature' as the news called him... Well, either he has something to do with this or he's an idiot who can't quit trying the same damn tactic.... Either way, picking his brain seemed like a good idea.

At Daedelus's suggestion, she positions herself just a little out of the radar of the Voids at the diamond, and, just in case he thought she was kidding, she even brought lunch. Mmm. Hot dog.

Now to just be a unassuming red-haired girl until her new friend shows himself.]

[Megabyte was already livid. The whole time repeating and reappearing and being attacked every day by the same idiots--]

[How long was this madness going to continue?! (This couldn't be a game, could it?]

[He'd broken free of his captors and stalked his way out of the baseball field, hull scratched and claws at the ready. Now, it was just a matter of finding some poor, unsuspecting sprite to copy and escape to gather his wits again]

[If any other fools got in his way, he wouldn't hesitate to delete them.]

[myselfexcluded]

[Yeah, well... Washu has no interest in being deleted. But that doesn't mean she isn't going to stand directly in his way- and my... What a... Weird thing he is. As soon as she sees him, she just keeps her position, fingers flying over her holographic laptop and beams.]

Going somewhere?

I'm so sorry for the late ;A;

[viraldawn]

[You may regret that, Washu]

[The obstructing sprite and voice draws his attention, and he scans the new presence the instant he lays eyes on her. A child? Megabyte never had any scruples threatening, harming children (He'd delete one too, if it came to that), but he doesn't even have the patience for any of that. What she's holding does catch his eye, but regardless, he snarls:]

Out of my way, child.

IT'S OKAY. <33

[myselfexcluded]

[...Well, you've just endeared her to you FOREVER, Megabyte. Unfortunately, it also means she's putting on the cute little girl act. Away goes the laptop as she clasps her hands together in front of her.] Oh, I'm so sorry. Am I keeping you from getting somewhere? That's awfully rude of me. [She bites her thumb and makes BIG. SAD. EYES.]

I LOVE YOU

[viraldawn]

[Again, that laptop.... In any case, Megabyte was never one to be taken with such antics. He flexes his claws as he stomps forward, making no attempts to stop]

Remove yourself or I will remove you, child.

ALWAYS.

[myselfexcluded]

[Washu still doesn't move.] Incidentally, you wouldn't be trying to get to the Core, now wouldja?

C:

[viraldawn]

[That stops him. For the moment.]

And what would a child know of the Core?

Re: C:

[myselfexcluded]

[Her voice goes deadly serious.] Enough to know that you've been doing this same thing for the past few days and whatever it is, it's causing a distortion of the time-space grid... [And then girlish again.] So unless you wanna keep repeating the same day over and over again... You should stop that.

'Kay?

[viraldawn]

[This is no child. That's Megabyte's first thought, and his attention's finally drawn enough to stop him in his tracks. He casts a brief glance over his shoulder; no one's coming, yet. He can afford to talk. Then, back down to the girl, eying her critically and calculatingly. For the moment, he merely says:]

The time-space grid? [So that's what it was]

[myselfexcluded]

Yep! We're in a time loop right now so until we can find out how to reset things, this day is going to keep going on and on for an eternity. Or at least until it throws the entire island out of whack and kills us all.
