8th Shot Fired [video]

[oneeyedterror]

[Look, it's everyone's favourite one eyed 12 year old girl who is actually a 4 million year old robot dude!

... and it looks like as he's talking to you all? Jetstream is braiding his hair, and it doesn't look like Whirl is stopping the digimon.]

Look, I kinda get that humans don't live too long and all that scrap. But you guys make up a lot of frikking reasons to have parties. And some of them are really silly, [Jetstream sort of tugs on his hair, which gets an ow.] no offense to like. Roze and her year party.

[Cause he likes Roze, but everyone else?]

Like "birthdays". Just have a frikking party because you want to, really.

[Another hair yank followed by another ow, and a huff.]

Or just think of something frikking better to celebrate.

[And then he adds, as almost like an after thought.]

Oh yeah and that annoying slagheap Misfire doesn't seem to be here anymore. Frikking pity, really.

[oneeyedterror]

Eh, it's only scary if you think a fri-- a mess of scars is scary, kiddo.

[justpretending]

Oh.

...I see that kinda stuff a lot. Can I see it? Please?

And my name's Sophia, not kiddo.

[headup_stickontheice]

You could look in a mirror in a dark room.

[oneeyedterror]

Why the hell would I do that?

[oneeyedterror]

[And he's gonna show it off too, but Jetstream tugs on his hair a lot harder than before.]

Ack, sheesh. Yeah you can, and I'm Whirl. Of course the pest already told you that.

[Grumble and... he's flipping up the eyepatch and really. That's all that's there. Scars, not even any sign that there was an eye there before.]

[headup_stickontheice]

To check it out. Wouldn't you wanna know for sure?

[oneeyedterror]

Not really.

It's not like it frikking changes how I can see.

[justpretending]

[Now, Sophia was going to say something else. But she just looks at the eye socket, quiet and contemplative.] Ohhhh... I haven't seen one that looks like that. Wow.

It's kinda weird. But it's not bad.

[oneeyedterror]

[And he's putting the eye patch back on.]

Yeah, well in my case it's because like I said. I only got one eye normally.

[He points to the middle of his face when he says that, as if the make the point that he's a cyclops.]

Got other scars too, but they're not as interestin' as the eye ones.

[headup_stickontheice]

Alright, alright, you say so.

[oneeyedterror]

[Judging look at you Cam. Judging.]

[justpretending]

Oh, that's okay! You can show them. Carl's got others too, they're sexy.

[oneeyedterror]

... Aren't you a little young to be saying that kinda stuff?

[HE'S NOT SURE, but humans are weird and all that.]

[headup_stickontheice]

[He holds up a hand with a barely restrained smile.]

Sorry, man. ...Er, girl? ...What'd'you like being called?

[oneeyedterror]

My name frikking works.

It's Whirl.

[justpretending]

[Tiny pouts.] Everyone says that...

It's what the grown-ups say a lot, so it's gotta be true!

[headup_stickontheice]

O-oookay! I mean, like-- are you a, are... Do you think you're... Are you a...guy...or...?

[oneeyedterror]

... He works just fine.

[Even though his digimon refer to Whirl as a "she" it's not like he goes about correcting them.]

[oneeyedterror]

Yeah but. You're a little guy.

And really, if other people say it doesn't mean you frikking have to.

[headup_stickontheice]

Okay, he. Thanks. Just...didn't wanna screw that up.

[oneeyedterror]

Whatever, little guy.

[Le shrug.]

[justpretending]

It's the grown-up version of pretty, right? I wanna use it! Besides, you're a girl and I can call you pretty, and you're more grown-up, so it works.

[oneeyedterror]

Noooo, it's really not.

[This is actually. Awkward. For Whirl.

Whirl.]

And scars aren't pretty, especially for the person who has 'em and knows why they have them.

[headup_stickontheice]

[S-sigh.]

[justpretending]

...Oh.

[Now she looks down again and closes her eyes.]

I'm sorry. I should've thought 'bout that. People don't like scars back home. I'm really, really sorry.
