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.

Now Sophia looks a bit nervous.]

Then what are you?

[oneeyedterror]

Cybertronian.

[No he's not going to explain, because he's a jerk. But thank goodness there is Jetstream around, even if she's not on screen.]

What that means is Miss Whirl is a giant robot that turned into a helicopter. Or at least that's what she's told people before.

[justpretending]

[Sophia's a little confused, but she nods slowly and then starts to smile lightly.] Okay. That's a lot better than other stuff. We used to have toys, of robot-people. But you're not a toy, because you're walking and talking.

I like your eye-patch. Carl has one back home too, but it's on his other eye.

[oneeyedterror]

[... What. People being nice to Whirl, even little ones, is not something he is used to.]

Yeah well.

The only reason I have it is cause I only have one eye... Wanna see?

[justpretending]

[She gasps slowly.]

...Is it scary? Carl's only got one eye too, but I've never seen him without his bandages.

[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.

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[justpretending]

[Tiny pouts.] Everyone says that...

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

[oneeyedterror]

Yeah but. You're a little guy.

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

[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.

[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.

[oneeyedterror]

...

[Pfffft.]

Eh, don't be. I offered to show you them after all.

[justpretending]

Only if you're sure.

[oneeyedterror]

If I wasn't frikking sure I'd tell you, ki-- Sophia.

[Whirl makes a face, because honestly he's not the most... quiet about things that piss him off.

Unless he's being a recluse about it.]

[justpretending]

[Now she frowns just a bit and turns up her nose.]

Well, you don't have to be so mean about it.

[It's more pouting.]

[oneeyedterror]

[... What.

And ow ow ow, there goes Jetstream again.]

Sorry, Miss Whirl is normally like that. She doesn't mean anything by it.

... In fact she's horrible to the people she likes too.

[Just a grunt and an eye roll from Whirl, stupid digimon.]

[justpretending]

[She sticks out her lower lip and considers with a small huff.]

I guess that's okay, if you aren't really being mean.

[oneeyedterror]

... Just stop making that face, okay?

[Grump grump.]

[justpretending]

... Okay.

[She slowly smiles again.]

We're still friends.

I haven't had a lot of girls who are friends in awhile. Not really. Even if your voice does sound like a boy's.
