⠀ I JUST GOTTA DO WHAT I GOTTA DO, THAT'S ALL!
Pinned
well, my closest brother is brain bot! he's a bit of a nerdy-lookin' guy, green, real sweet to be around!

...then there's mega, er, yellow eyes, blue... you'll wanna be real careful around him. he's not what he seems.
Do you mind explaining what your brothers look like? Just so I don't make the same mistake in the future...
Yeah! Me and my brother just kind of...appeared here!

( Aw, they didn't get the reference at first... )

Er, that and my other brother, too. ...No idea where anyone else is, though!

“In Oz”…?

( They tilt their head for a moment before realizing what he meant. )

Oh. Were you brought here without an explanation as well?
( Blink blink )

...Makes sense enough, I'll believe anything with the crazy things happening lately! 💧

Practically woke up in Oz.. ehehe.

( So very weird. But they don’t let it stop them from smiling, despite the awkward question. )

That’s a little difficult for me to answer. I’m not really from… anywhere…? At least not anywhere from /this/ timeline…
Aw, jeez, yeah. That'd be real confusing... well, it's really nice to meet you, Dragon! Where are you from?

( He's very genuine. And very nice. )

( It's really weird, isn't it? )

( He’s so… genuine. It’s a little unsettling? But it’s also kind of nice. They hesitate for a second before slowly coming up to shake his hand. )

I-I’m Dragon. It’s nice to meet you.

There’s… someone else I know with that name. I thought, for a second, that you were him.
No, no it's okay! It's like, you knew my name but I didn't recognize you so I was all "oh crap!" Let's try that again, yeah?

( Grinning, it's so unlike the real Proto's grin. )

( He steps closer, holding out his right hand. )

Proto, and you are?

( He sounds off. Not majorly so, but enough for them to realize that they might have the wrong bot. )

… I think I might have been mistaken. I-I’m the one who should apologize, aha…
Oh, I don't--

( Oh boy. His memory can't be going bad already, right??? Ohhhh boy.. that's a scary thought. )

Er- sorry, I don't think... I know you?

( He tilts his head, and sounds /oddly/ apologetic. )

( Oh. What the hell. They suddenly become ten times more confused; and anxious, for that matter. )

I-I’m Dragon, remember…? Or are you not— a-am I mistaking you for someone else?
( the strange robot is quiet for a moment, confused. very confused, actually. )

... Who are you?

( he asks. )
January 22, 2025 at 8:00 AM
( the strange robot is quiet for a moment, confused. very confused, actually. )

( he asks. )
( They take a step back, still not knowing what’s up. )

… Proto? Is that you? Why does your armor look that way…?
( ? )

( looking at dragon, kind of just... waving? )

( ? )

( looking at dragon, kind of just... waving? )
( ... ? Is that...? )

( Why's he so different all of a sudden? )

Tell me: what is it that you like so much about this city? What makes it so special? Why fight so hard to protect it?
January 22, 2025 at 7:35 AM
..fair point! who would the wizard be, then?
well, no, because they're from oz! scarecrow and tinman would be friends we make here.
( SNORT ) waitwait—does that make cut and guts the scarecrow and the tin man?

well, also because i came along with you!

would mega and roll be the monkeys?
...well if the wicked witch is light, maybe? y'know the— "i'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!" yeah...

does that make me toto..?
...so we're definitely not in kansas anymore.

...so we're definitely not in kansas anymore.
there's always the potential that you're right! I've been looking into multiverse theory, but a way for two universes to merge would be difficult...

..but not impossible.
you're right, you're right...

i just, i dunno, i've got a good feeling! but maybe i'm just going a little crazy, ehe.

perhaps let's not be so quick to trust, then..? you must be excited, but remember your caution!
w–well!

( shit! )

......okay, you got me. i don't actually know what the hell's going on. 💧💧

..b-but you can! how are you sure it's not just mega man with a wardrobe change of sorts..?
er—pretty positive, i mean, he didn't even look like mega man!

( eventually setting them down, rubbing the back of his head. )

can't fool me twice!

( yes you can. )

oh, wow! isn't that fascinating... are you sure it isn't the trick again, though..?

( he does not reciprocate the hug, as always. he just lets himself get grabbed. )
( BEAR HUG!!!!! )

boy am i glad to see you! everything's totally backwards—i met a /nice/ mega man! 💧

〝 Yeah. 〞 Hand on the side of his face, he is So Tired. 〝 Yeah, there is. 〞

He doesn't necessarily /like/ calling his brother "evil," but seriously, man. The word "misguided" can /really/ only go so far...

〝 He's here somewhere, I just know it. 〞


「 ..oh, great, does this mean there's an evil me running around..? 」


〝 No kiddin'... 〞

It's really weird.

〝 Feels like everything's kinda flipped on its head, y'know? 〞

January 20, 2025 at 9:30 AM


〝 No kiddin'... 〞

It's really weird.

〝 Feels like everything's kinda flipped on its head, y'know? 〞


「 It's weird for me, too. A nice change of pace, though... 」


〝 Yeah, plus your eyes are a little... 〞 He gestures at his own face; around where his eyes would be, if his helmet were off. 〝 Less yellow-y! 〞

〝 Kind of weird to see you acting so... nice, though. Like, super uncanny. 〞

January 20, 2025 at 9:24 AM

「 The only reason I didn't freak out is because the Proto Man I remember has a /silver/ color, not copper. 」

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤHe smiles in turn, getting closer. With the details in view... there's no way this could be the Mega he remembers. Especially not with armor that scuffed.


〝 Rock Light..? 〞 He echoes, perhaps confused? But soon quickly brushes it off; trying a friendly grin with a slight laugh. Oh, this guy isn't bad at all, then. Right?

〝 Boy, am I glad I didn't immediately start shooting, then..! You know how it is, er, better safe than sorry? 〞

January 20, 2025 at 9:18 AM

「 It's, ah... complicated. I /am/ Mega Man. DLN-001, Rock Light, uhm... "hero of man," whatever you wanna call me... just not the one you know. 」

「 Like... /my/ Proto Man wouldn't have hesitated to start a "friendly brotherly brawl" and start shooting... 」


〝 Forgive me for being cautious, but where I'm from you tend to lie about that kind of thing. 〞 Standing his ground, Proto shuffles a little.

〝 Who are you if you're not /him/, anyway? 〞
