004: Video

[alive_through_luck]

[This is Duo all curled up in his bathroom. So many videos of the people he knows being turned into animals or machines. ESPECIALLY MACHINES. They all look like mobile suits, and he's just going to stay inside and away from everyone. He does have one thing to say....]

You all are nuts!

[He gulps and narrows his eyes at the feed before he presses his forehead to his knees.]

HisameIwannastaywithyou.

[There's the bang of Terriermon against the door before Duo cuts the feed.]

[Okay, now the problem clicks a little better. He can understand that sentiment. Unknown creatures can be scary.

But that's what he and his brother work to help with. Fear of the unknown or misunderstood.]

Heeey, it's okay. ...H'I think this took everybody a little by surprise.

[That's an understatement but he smiles reassuringly anyway.]

They might look different, but they're still the same Chosen you knew on the inside. None of them would want to hurt you.

[Well, at least all of the ones Martin knows anyway. He's fairly certain none of the Chosen here would do anything harmful to anyone though.]

...Some of 'em look like mobile suits.

[That's just as bad as the animals. Mobile suits are weapons, after all.]

Mobile suits?

[That throws him for a second because the first thing that comes to mind are tuxedos that move Then he realizes what he must be talking about.]

Oh the robots...

[He actually doesn't know any of them terribly well. But he's never seen anything that'd suggest they mean anyone any harm persay either.]

Awww, heh...yeah, they look kinda scary on the outside, huh? H'there's some robots back where I come from that I wouldn't be too keen on seeing here either. But the ones here are alright. They're the same Chosen on the inside too, after all.

[Why does every one think dancing clothes? Wow, you guys aren't all that smart, huh? Geez.]

Mobile suits aren't good. They just destroy things and hurt people.

[Sad thing is, dancing clothes would almost be a possibility in his world...

He winces and rubs the back of his neck. Sounds like this kid has seen some really tough things...]

Yeah-heh...the robots I've encountered back home kinda do that too...

[Granted on a far more child-friendly scale, and it's contained largely to endangered creatures and their habitats, but the point still remains.

He raises an eyebrow though as something occurs to him.]

Lemme ask ya though, Duo...did the mobile suits back home have somebody behind them making them work? Somebody that was controlling them or giving them commands that made them do what they'd do?

...There're cockpits. People get in them and pilot them. They're big. Taller than a lot of buildings. With guns and stuff to keep people in line.

[And that's just the start of the horrible things they can do.]
