Hmm.. Huh? What time is it? It must be nearing noon already.
Heh, it looks Buttercup is standing 'guard' over me. It seems to be on stand-by.

Realize there is a female-looking bot straddling your hips. Feel awkward.

>>58695
>HUG BUTTERCUP

>>58695
Put out a hand to ruffle Buttercup's hair, and say good morning.

>>58695
Realize you're in horrible pain cause there is a female-looking bot straddling your hips. How much do those things weight?

>>58702
Apparently nothing, she's not sinking into the at at all. Perhaps she's using her flying powers. Which brings up an interesting point.

>>58695
How does battlemach fly?

She's got her feet on the bed you guys geeze

Awww, Buttercup. You're like an adorable metal freddy krueger. You'll steal our heart in no time, literally.

"Morning, how long have you been there?"

Hug buttercup like an oversized metal teddy bear

>>58707
Luckily the mattress is concrete then?

>>58710
He could pick her up

yknow, the guy who lives off meds

im guessing lightweight materials

Hug the bot!

Fightmachs don't fly. They use some visual effects during matches to have them appear to be floating above the audience to give them a better view. That means that wheels are less popular amongst spectators, but no less effective than legs.
I heard they tried to use the same effect for human sports, but they stopped because it was just scary.
And of course they're made from lightweight materials, otherwise they wouldn't be able to move so nimble.

>"Good morning, Buttercup. How long have you been there?"

..Hmm.. No response..

Did you forget to plug her in?

>>58726
Cup her cheeks with your hands.



No, the other cheeks.

>>58726
Carry her to breakfast.
Eat some cereal, check your email, and laugh at the funnies.
Set her on the table or a chair nearby.
Check her battery afterwards.

Well, yes, all Fightmach's have emergency manual override switches. I haven't touch hers, though, so I don't know what's up... Then again, this is my first Fightmach, so I don't know what's normal.
I'll have some breakfast and read the paper while I wait for her to become active again.

Ah, it looks like Galactic Knight Z has a little article in the sports section.

>>58749
...wait a minute.

You first fought with her while in costume as a masked hero.

Shout out "BUTTERCUP, IT'S SHOWTIME!" As loud and forcefully as you can without risking setting off your condition(s).

Tell your mom someone who called themselves 'Fifty Nine' or something like that told you it was an activation command for a debug system.

Plug buttercup in while asking mom what the new book is on.

>>58771
>>58800
Your mom is hot, dude.

Anyways... try speaking to Buttercup when your mom leaves.
Maybe she's just too shy to act with other people around?

Kiss her on the cheek, that'll wake her up.

Couldn't we just, ya know, Google "fightmach won't turn on" or something? I mean she's basically a child of the internet anyway.

Barring that plugging her in is a decent idea.

Hey Franklin... you arent the child of incest are you? Cause your mom and her brother, who we knew as 58 and/or ferdinand or something gay like that totally knocked boots when your mom was, like, 20. Just saying. She's been around, man. Probably gotten into the whole family tree. I mean, heck, you probably allready know that. Bet you're scoring some of that fine quebecois tail on a semi-nightly basis, but still, thought you should know.

>>58811
>"fightmach won't turn on"
Well, looks like your task is to turn her on...
*hurr hurr hurr*

...You might need to charge her.

Failing that, locate on switch.

Hey, her eyes are working now.

Also, don't blame them too much, they tried going out with other people and all... besides, you wouldn't exist otherwise, and so far you don't seem the emo kind that says he'd rather not exist.

Your dad was quite emo though.

Ask if her batteries need charging. Also about her sleep, i for one had no idea she'd need to sleep.

"So... you sleep? I'm pretty sure that's not typical fightmach behavior."

>>58865
Did you know that your aunt tried to rape your dad when she was 10 and he was 15? Or that your father is a crossdresser? Face it dude, this stuff runs in your blood. No matter how hard you may try to deny it. It's only a matter of time before you may decide that you need a little sister around the place...

Appologise to Buttercup. Say you had no idea what was happening and that you were very worried.

Eh, they are only half-brother and sister. The odds of your birth defects as a result of incest is just isn't increased enough by a first generation, half-blood procreation for it to be 100% "lolincestbaby". Chances are you just got fucked over by the dice gods, with incest barely contributing anything to the probability.

"It's fine, everyone needs their beauty sleep, after all."

>>58865
So what were you going to do today?
Whatever it is, carry Buttercup around for it(Unless it's school or something.)
Get her a hoodie as a disguise.

>>58870
The way you explain it sounds more fucked up than it needs to. I don't remember any rape for starters, just a little girl who loved her brother a bit too much.

>>58865

Even computers with no 'real' intelligence sleep. It's a way of conserving power while still running.

If that's not a typical fightmech behavior, you need to congratulate Buttercup for being smarter than everyone else.

Just accept the fact that Buttercup is unusual for a Fightmach. Not every question needs an answer.

How about some training in the yard? At the very least, you need to be sure Buttercup's new components are integrated and working properly.

"Because you're obviously not to tell me if I don't ask"

No harm with a little push here and there. Try and be aloof as possible when you say it.

Is there any public transit you can utilize? certainly not E, she wouldn't show up at the most opportune time.

Any money for taxi-service?

You could invite Esmeralda, if she doesn't feel like it (which i doubt) take the bus or whatever.

Also ask Buttercup how you can make sure her mind doesn't get damaged in a fight. See if she liked the idea of a separate "brain" which controls the body remotely. You'd then keep the brain with you while the body fights.

Have we got time to train a bit, otherwise, ring Esmeralda, see if she can hook us up with a ride

Don't worry! With how much AIs cost, no one risks it getting damaged. They're all kept deep inside the torso, indestructible like an airplane's black box.

If I take public transport or a taxi I'd certainly pass out before arriving due to all the filth in the air.. And I can't wear the other suit until I arrive, because it's also my Galactic Knight Z costume, and if anyone finds out I'm in it Esmeralda will be in huge trouble.

Get a motorcycle.

Incorporate it into your entrance.

"Let's do it."

Pause for dramatic reposing, in captain falcon 'show me we moves' pose,

He may be more FAAABULOUS than Frank, but nobody can stand up against Galactic Knight Z and Buttercup's COSMIC RADIATION COMBINATION ATTACK!

Disco? DISCO!?

Time to bring The Metal.

"Rockets buttercup! Crap, think you can outmaneuver them and take his sensors out close with a heavy punch to the face? Without sensors for rockets, he can't do anything with those puny arms."

"Come in low and fast, keep your path erratic, and be wary of projectiles. Get in close and eviscerate it. *Whisper* If you have a better plan go for it*"

>>59104
Eh, rocket launchers and fists. Get in close as fast as you can as to diminish the rockets effectiveness. His movement system could be his undoing if you can reach him then knock him over, get him off balance and I think it will be over.

>>59104
No melee weapons, I see. Get in close fast, slash his tire, and then just keep away from the front of the launchers as you take him out piece by piece.

He uses a single wheel to move chances are there will be a momentary delay to aim right before he launches the missiles or else he will be knocked off balance. Either way in both cases they give you a brilliant oportunity to strike.

You know, to a certain extent, this is actually reminding me of Front Mission. The Fightmachs are really just Chibi-Wanzers.

...On that note, I have this amazing idea for arming Buttercup with a missile launcher...

Renardo Laboop? Seriously? Poor guy.

Dodge them rockets, you know you can.

Push him over.

Claw the wheel! If it's filled with air, you might be able to pop it!

In that case claw the rocket launchers. Unless they're single shot. Then rip an arm.

"You alright, Buttercup? Looks like your eye's taken some damage.

Now give a message to the audience. Remind them to allways believe in themselves and to follow their dreams, etc.

Looks like Buttercup got one of her eyes knocked out by a missile. Gotta see to that.

>>59140
Rustle her hair while congratulating her.

I'm sure that treating Buttercup like some strange mix of tool, pet and person will have absolutely no negative long-term repercussions.

Well, I just won some money, much more than the previous match because this match was actually part of the tournament, so I can buy her a new head. Or any other parts, of course.

>>59152
Ask her what parts she would need that are within our current price range that she would desire for purposes of optimizing her form towards her abilities and combat preferences.

>>59152
ask her if something is wrong she seems a little depressed.

>>59152

Well, we'll have to start with a new eye, naturally. Maybe we can also get her some sleeker leg parts so she'll have better maneuverability.

Pauldrons! For da Emprah!

>>59157
>Sleeker legs for better movement

And other things, of course. ;3

Last time I asked her what she preferred she said 'slow and steady' because she wants to avoid relying on her reaction speed. Today she turtle'd in by staying low and using her reinforced shoulder plates, so I'm guessing she'd like something like that. She made no mention about melee or ranged, though.

Even stronger shoulders and better legs sounds good, but we gotta be careful not to try and give her heavier armor while also trying to make her go faster.

Hmm..

>"What's wrong? You seem depressed."
>"[I am confused. Am I not enough to win, that you require a 'good luck charm' from Esmeralda?]"

>>59164

"I just said that to be cute. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously."

>>59164

Buttercup, YOU'RE my good luck charm.

>>59166
Besides, it's part of the goofy outfit I need to wear.

>>59164
"I need both of you at my side for good luck."

>>59164
It's not that silly. We both know luck doesn't exist, but if somebody you care about trusts you to win, don't you feel all the more motivated to do it?

Though admittedly you do most of the work here... but Esmeralda cheers for me and i cheer for you.

>>59170
"Every little bit helps! Maybe you would've gotten hurt worse without it, right?"

>>59164
Well you see Buttercup, I want to hit that.
I will do whatever stupid shit she wants so I can hit that.

>>59179
Buttercup will take this literally and you know it.

>>59164
"Of course you are. But it makes Esme happy for me to wear it. Besides, it looks damn sexy on me."

>>59164
Luck is the belief that there are forces beyond our own abillity to control, some call it god others may call it fate. It wasn't so much as to insure victory as it was to insure nothing bad beyond our control would happen to me or you.

It is a man's duty to carry a token into battle.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So, perhaps a new eye, but there's nothing else I want to change.

>>59194

"We can repair her all we want, but it won't alter her behavior"

Ruffle her hair. "And I wouldn't have it any other way~"

>>59194
I wouldn't fix Buttercup for the world.

"I like her this way. I'd rather have Buttercup here by my side than any one of those spirit-lacking robots against us. You should get to know her, she's pretty unique. I'm sure you both would make great friends. She is here to see the... err, Buttercup, may I tell her about what you want in life? We're a team after all."

"Wh... what other conversations have you heard?"

YESSS MAXIMUM AWKWARDNESS

>>59197
>>59201
Naw.

>>59194
Oh, yes, speaking of fixing... We seem to go through heads pretty quickly. Let's see if we can't get ahold of some form of reinforced head.

I think you should get Esmeralda to promise to keep the secret... and if she does explain the situation. I think it'd be good for Buttercup to have contact with more than one human anyway.

>>59206
Perhaps a helmet similar to the one Frank uses, so she doesn't have to be all armored all the time.

Okay, stronger shoulders and a helmet? That sounds perfect! I'll buy Buttercup the necesarry parts for fixing her eye so we don't need to get her a new one. She worked so hard on this one after all.

Slot some rockets into that chest as well.
Melee is all well and good, but you never know when ranged combat could come in handy, just as an option if nothing else.

>"...Hey, Franky, did you know 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?"

But 'Nagging' and 'Shrew' are.

I think they should have a conversation.

Needs a little less on the legs and a little more on the chest. Then it'll be perfect.

A right hand could be good too, just gotta be able to attach the claw for combat.

Well, don't you have anything she can borrow until you get something of her own? Or do you only have that suit?

Also, now picture her as one of those tsundere tomboy types.
