itsjustcambot | Second Hack (Backdated to not long after First Hack)

Hey there, everyone. It's- hey, come on, this way.

[Seems that unattached Cambot has finally gotten attached, and its target was the boy currently adjusting it so it filmed his face and not off to the right like it was trying to. Said boy has shed his whelmingly distinctive costume and gotten into civvies, but he's still hiding his eyes - this time behind a pair of very dark sunglasses. And if he doesn't look remorseful or penitent, at least he looks more relaxed and friendly than he did when he first showed up.]

Sorry for being less than astrous earlier - it's been an overwhelmingly long couple of days, heavy on the "over," and showing up somewhere you can't identify with no idea how you've gotten there hasn't ever been my favorite thing in the world. I figured something else had gone wrong - and obviously it has, just not in the way I thought it did. So, sorry to anyone I scared, or attacked. If you ever want a spar in the future, all you've gotta do is ask.

Seems like you guys already know Wally and Kaldur, so that makes things easier. I'm a friend of theirs - call me Robin. And if someone could point me to some computers, that'd be amazing.

Astrous? I don't think that's a word.

Think about it - if something's a disaster, then the opposite of that should be an "aster," and I don't mean the flower. So, astrous would be the opposite of disastrous.

Not necessarily?

Doesn't "aster" also mean "star"

I think it does in Greek. Don't know about basic English though, I only heard it used for the flower.

Maybe disastrous comes from a word that means ... something bad going on with the stars? Maybe astrologers made it up?

No, the Greek aster- became the English astro-, like in astrology and astronomy. Wouldn't surprise me if someone named the flower because they thought they looked like a star, though.

Good luck with that. The computers around here are essentially worthless.

[He's got his "special" Christmas laptop, but he isn't planning on sharing with a stranger.]

Hey, anything's gotta be better than nothing, right? [At the least he'll still have his glove-computer, but he'd prefer a full bank of the things.]

It all depends what you're trying to do. Outside contact is completely useless. I suppose if you simply want to program something, you might be able to get away with that... The only way one might... be...

...hm... [Don't mind him. Brainstorm.]

[Oh he's minding all right. Because it sounds like he might have an idea.] Might be what?

Just a thought. Something I hadn't thought of before. I...

...hm. Shouldn't discuss it over the network, though.

[And he grins at that.] I take it you're good with computers? Feel like meeting up somewhere?

You might say that. [He nods.] That'd be best.

Oh, you're friends with Wally and Kaldur? Cool!

And there's computers around here, but I dunno how good any of them are... [Not that he's any good with any of them.]

Uh-huh - we've known each other for two years, now. Or closer to three now, really. [They are his best buds and his bros now and forever.] And I can make it work - just gotta know where they are.

That's great! I'm sure they'll be glad to see you again!

[Of course, he doesn't know that either, considering his inability to use them.] There may be some on the media deck? Or maybe Gypsy or Mike know where more are.

[He grins at that with a bit of a cocky smirk.] Of course they are - nothing's quite right without the team being complete. Of course it's still not complete by a long shot, but it's getting closer.

Media deck. Got it.

I know how that feels! [He does still miss Donald and Goofy.] At least you're closer now.

Well, three out of eight. We've got a long way to go.

[...Yeah let's not get into the future just now. Or their mentors. Or friends or family or... yeah just stop there.]

No big deal. It happens a lot around here.

Hmm. Well, I guess that explains why Kaldur always seemed a little perplexed by Ven when he got here.

Ven? So there's not just one, but two guys here who sound like me?

[This was already weird but this is just... weirder.]

Well. Ven and Roxas actually look a lot alike too. So, I guess at least you don't have that problem as well.

It...is a little strange though. Those two seem to be connected somehow...I don't know how you fit in.

[Robin thinks about it for a second, and then gives a shrug.]

Probably just a coincidence. If it's not, it'll come up sooner or later - things like that always have a way of sneaking up on you.

Edited 2012-06-03 03:20 (UTC)

It could be. It's just a very weird coincidence. Then again, this entire situation is weird.

We're trapped on a satellite made about a decade before I was born in space. Me and my friends should be able to get back down to earth but for some reason we can't. So yeah, this entire situation is pretty weird.
