[Hey! You reached Roll Light! Thanks for reaching out! Sorry I couldn't get to you at the moment, I'm probably helping Rock with something, but leave a message and I'll get back to you!]
[ Let's see... where was Roll staying? Somewhere around here... oh! There's that familiar bob of yellow hair. It's terribly hard to resist the call to sneak up on her again to static her hair up into a big poof but somehow he manages. He is such a mature and no nonsense Robot Master. Plus she was... rather annoyed with him when he did it the other day and what he's thinking of handing off to her he doesn't want to give her any excuses. ]
Roll! Wait up. Been looking for you. I've got something for ya.
[The sound of her name causes her to pause. The voice is familiar so it's no surprise to her when she turns to see Elec Man trying to catch up with her.]
Elec Man? What is it?
[She isn't exactly scared of him, but Roll still keeps a step or two of distance. Just to be safe.]
[It was a little surprising to find someone at her door. Someone she didn't recognize, but it didn't seem to be any of the huge cybertronians that wondered the ship.]
Oh, hello.
[She glanced down at the letter.]
What a beautiful flower. You should leave it attached. Is that for me? Or someone special?
[Roll leaned forward to see if she could find out who the letter was addressed too. She was fairly knew around the ship but maybe she could help him get it to the right person all the same.]
hi hi you're roll, i'm nova storm and i'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance cause you're getting the real quick summary of the messages i've already sent out because i've done this song and dance often enough today that i might as well be trying out for musical theatre
anyway i'm messaging all the ai i haven't talked to yet so my name can be on the list of people you know you can go to if you need backup or a laugh or a place to catch all the really good space telenovellas, so this is me doing that
that aside, you know rock? mightyman? huh. you've got a name pattern going on, that's fun. there a story there?
[Getting the text was strange. Not many reached out to her. At least not many that didn't know her already. She debated for a bit whether she should even reply at all, but this bot seemed friendly enough and they said they knew her brother. Though that wasn't always a good sign.]
That's kind of you to reach out, Nova Storm. You know Rock? His name is Megaman, not Mightyman. That's my brother! Yeah, father named us after his favorite music! You cybertronians have something kind of similar I think!
Glass and metal shards crunched underneath Crash as he pushed himself into a small alcove near one of the sets of hab suites. His helmet was broken so that a few tufts of a very pale, almost white shade of blond hair poked out, but it was just one more thing and one that easily ignored.
This alcove was nice, though. The walls tight on either side of him were good. Calming, even, to the point where he felt peaceful enough after his most recent meltdown to almost be drowsy.
"Oh," he said with a slow blink upon spotting Roll. "I know your face. You're from the same line as Megaman. Uh. Hi. I guess."
Roll stopped, forgetting a moment her current quest to blink down at Crash Man.
"Oh, it's you. Crash Man. I suppose that would make sense." After finding the others, like Quick Man and Heat Man, it's not longer a surprise to find the deactivated bots awake and well. At this point, she's going to actively start looking for the rest. And after what happened with Heat Man... well, she's a little more careful about how she addresses the topic, if at all.
Roll stares at him a moment before folding her hands behind her back.
"Roll!" Rock heard and he's devastated. Drat this all its so... So!!! "Roll I'm so sorry, I should of been there." He makes his way to her and bends to his hand son his knees catching his processor up.
He ran all this way. "Did he hurt you, is Heatman okay? Are you burned, he's not... he ..." He stands up straight again. "Just tell me no one's hurt."
Roll almost wants to laugh with her brother's concern. Instead, she doesn't answer him and pulls him into a great big hug instead.
"Don't worry. No one is hurt. Well, I think Gold Arm got a bit burnt but he should be okay. Heatman and I are okay. Really. It was my fault really, I upset Heatman by accident. Please don't worry so much, Rock."
[ Next time Roll enters her room she'll hear a soft quacking. Suck noises. Why are there duck noises in her room? Well it might have something to do with a new little friend hopping and fluttering around. She seems very friendly! ]
[The noises have her on edge but a little curious as she peers into her room. A new friend! How wonderful! The name is easy. Rhythm. She'll take good care of the little bird robot creature.]
[There is something about Rock's message that sets Roll on edge. Something isn't right. She knows her brother well enough. He's being far too vague and his voice...]
Where are you? I'll come help.
[It was kind of like home, but that wasn't as comforting as she thinks Rock hopes it is. Usually, if she's at the command computer, it's because Rock is off to do something dangerous. And she's quickly learning that she's just as much use by his side as she is being safe back home behind a screen. There are benefits to both positions, but right now she doesn't like that she doesn't know where her brother is.]
[ Since he hadn't seen Roll at the Mall, Elec decided to be a good brother and pick her up a gift or two.
That had been the plan. But then he was actually in a cute clothes boutique and sweet Asimov everywhere he looked he kept thinking... Oh Roll would look adorable in that! And before long he'd amassed a sizeable pile. He made a valiant effort to try and cut things. But he couldn't. Despite his initial intention he filled up several sizeable shopping bags.
And now he's outside Roll's door with them, trying to juggle them in a way that gave him a free hand...
Eventually he just hits her page button with his elbow. ]
Roll, dear. Its been a while. Perhaps, with all the dreariness about, I think it might be a good time to take a moment with warm tea and biscuits. Or do you prefer to call them cookies, scones?
I don't really mind either case. I'm sure there's much you have on your mind.
[Roll is surprised by the text. She hadn't talked to Shade Man in quite a while. With everything going on, he wasn't exactly at the top of her list to keep in touch with. Still, she supposed it was nice to hear from him.]
Oh, well, I don't really eat, but I wouldn't mind meeting up for a little get together.
"Roll? Could you come here for a minute?" Velocity called out one day during a quiet shift in the medibay. Roll had been shadowing the medics for a few weeks now, and while Velocity had shared her recently recovered datapad from medical school, nothing replaced hands on experience.
She smiled when Roll got closer, and lowered two of her four hands close to the floor for Roll to step onto, explaining, "I have routine maintenance coming up this week, and I thought you'd find it informative to sit in while I work on the things I can do myself, maybe let you poke here and there with tools where possible in order to give you a sense of how the components feel and react. It'll be a lot easier to figure out how Cybertronians work if you get to touch what you'll be working with, not just read about it."
Roll looked up from her seat. She usually sat in this little area doing her own studying out of the way whenever she wasn't needed for shadowing. At the sound of her name, she perked up and slid from her chair to join Velocity.
"What is it Miss Velocity?" she asked as she climbed into Velocity's hand.
She lit up a little as Velocity explained. "I would love to observe. I haven't had much hands-on experience yet either, so I think that will be really good for me." She paused a moment then laughed a little at the pun. Rock probably would have enjoyed that one.
Velocity hovered in front of the door to Roll's hab suite. Roll hadn't gone in for her (half, because of her level of maturity) shift shadowing everyone in the medibay today, and Velocity was concerned. Roll was always very prompt and responsible... perhaps too responsible, Velocity sometimes fretted.
So after her own shift ended, Velocity made a beeline for Roll's hab. She knew roll was a newbuilt, and all of these poor AI hinted at such awful stories when they spoke sometimes...
She drew in a vent, and knocked the same crisp, three note taps she always did. "Roll? Are you in? I wanted to check on you. I brought those E can things, with the additives you like?"
It takes a while for Roll to answer the door and as she does, it's with a lot less enthusiasm than she would usually greet a guest.
"Oh, hello Miss Velocity. I'm sorry I missed my shift today. I meant to message you but I... lost track of time." She sniffles a little and rubs at her eyes. It's a good thing Rock isn't in at the moment. It allowed her to have a moment to figure things out and cry without him seeing. Though, she wasn't expecting the interruption.
She gives Velocity a smile, weak as it was. "Thank you for the E Tank. I'm afraid I'm not very good company at the moment, but I appreciate you stopping by."
"Your name is Roll, right?" The message starts. The voice uncertain and hurt. In which direction, is it hurting because he forgot her, is it hurting because he doesn't know how to feel, is he hurting because he's not feeling correctly at all?
"I'm sorry, I must of scared you so much like that. I don't have the full picture but Donatello restored some memories we had backed up... and you were right, you're my sister... I'm really sorry. Its just such a gap where you're supposed to be and even now your name slips away if I don't keep thinking about you."
It sounds as if he's squeezing something in his hands.
"DLN-002... you have to be my sister because if you're not then where did that number ever go?"
Roll doesn't mean to miss the message, she's just... been keeping herself busy.
When she does finally listen to it, she's not certain if it makes her feel better. It's so hard. He's remembering things, he knows her name! That's good! But there is still an emptiness there. It's all just... gaps, filling in space with the context around it. Not actual knowing what goes there.
It hurts.
But she is going to remain positive. This was more than they had before! They can keep going with this.
"You remember! At least a little bit! We can work with that! Was there something that triggered it?"
