[1] [The Usual Combat Prompt]

[Explosions ring through the air as a city is attacked by some strange crystalline beings. In the middle of all of it you see a very weird looking slightly angelic robot fighting against the beings. However, whoever the pilot is - he seems to be a complete amateur.  As the entire machine is wrecked. Very large sections of it are missing and the only weapon it has left is a dinky-looking sword. And he's not using it very well. In fact he struggles against even a single one of these crystal beasts.]

Great, how could this get any worse?

[What he doesn't notice is the much larger group that's about to jump him from behind.]

[You've just helped Willis with something completely trivial that he really shouldn't have needed help with. Despite that, he's already grasping both of your hands and bowing to you repeatedly.]

Thank you thank you thank you. I don't know where I'd be right now without your help.

[3]



[For one reason or another Willis is trying to cheer you up in the only way he knows how. By bringing up how terrible he is.]

Hey come on now, don't let it get you down. You just made a mistake. I've made way more, like the time I crashed into my Boss'  personal garden with a mech.

[Something very bad has just happened and Willis was directly involved. When you find him, he's looking at what seems to be a very old photo. Of course, your presence doesn't go unnoticed.]

Yo, sorry you had to see...that.

3/3

[a_monetized_mind]

I...I did it. I actually won...

...but Willis...he still...

[She stands silently, looking over the city streets.]

Re: 3/3

[a_linear_mind]

I what? Oh hey you did it!

[Wait what?]

Wow you didn't need my help at all.

[The larger machine returns, now fully repaired. In fact, it looks like it's in pristine condition.]

Good job Jen.

1/2

[a_monetized_mind]

W-Willis? You're alive?!

Thank god! I-I was so worried! I thought that you'd died, and I was going to have to-

2/2

[a_monetized_mind]

...Wait...

...The radio should have been one of the easiest things to fix, so why...

[a_linear_mind]

Oh, well I needed a bit of time for Strahlend to repair itself.

[Oh dear]

So I needed something to keep the others ones busy for a bit while I started my repairs. Of course, I realized that you might be in a bit of trouble so that's why I put on that little act. I didn't think it'd motivate you enough to destroy all of them though. I really underestimated you.

[a_monetized_mind]

[The tiny robot stars up at Strahlend with a firm, unhappy gaze, not unlike that of a man who has just discovered his mother faked her own death for 13 years because she was tired of buying his children christmas presents.]

[a_linear_mind]

[And like any good mother, Willis sees nothing wrong with what he did there.]

Oh don't look at me like that. I swear if something had went wrong earlier I would have been there at the drop of a hat.

Now let's get some dinner. I think there's a good pasta restaurant over there.

[a_monetized_mind]

...Fine, but you're paying.

[Says the girl with a million-dollar expense account and her own penthouse apartment to the hobo.]

[a_linear_mind]

E-eh but...how about we split the bill? I think that'd be fair!

[a_monetized_mind]

Call it compensation for emotional trauma.

[a_linear_mind]

Fine fine...

[Sigh]

A date's a date. Even if it means I'll be broke for a month now...

[a_monetized_mind]

It's not a date, you insufferable little...

[a_linear_mind]

I think I'm actually older than you Jen.

[And after stashing away the robots he'll continue to troll Je- I mean escort Jen.]

Besides, if this isn't a date what would you call it?

[a_monetized_mind]

Then you might try to act your age for once...

And it's not a date! We're just going out to dinner together.

[a_linear_mind]

There's nothing wrong with calling it a date.

Besides, think about what it'll do for your reputation. Going out with a young-looking man like me. You cougar.

[a_monetized_mind]

I'M NOT A COUGAR!

[Trolling successful.]

[a_linear_mind]

So you agree then, there's nothing wrong with calling it a date.

I'm glad we cleared that up.
