003 [VIDEO]

[This video feed is dark. There's light filtering in from somewhere, and it's just enough to highlight the silhouette of a person, apparently crammed into some kind of confined space. Closet? Air vent? Who knows. This is probably meant to be an audio post, and there is evidence that an attempt was made to filter it away from at least two parties. Neither of these efforts were successful.]

Here's a problem for all of you. Real brain-buster, this one, if you catch my drift.

[Hi Wheatley.]

Let's say, hypothetically, I have a friend who, um…sort of…found himself in a situation where things got a little complicated. Circumstances out of his control, you know how it goes. Did some things…maybe said some things…that…were not the best things to say or do. Point is, this friend of mine made a couple of ladies rather upset.

Thing is, he didn't think he'd see either of them ever again! Turns out he was wrong. Saw them again…much sooner than he anticipated. And is now a bit…unsure of what to do, right? Because…they all parted on, uh. Less-than-stellar terms.

Still purely speculative, here, by the way. In case you forgot.

So we'll confirm that one of the ladies actually deserves an apology, which he did, in fact, grant. Right off. First thing he did, apologize to her. And he--and he thought it would make him feel better about the whole thing, but it didn't. Which…doesn't make any sense at all, because that's not what's supposed to happen. You're supposed to say you're sorry, and she's supposed to say "apology accepted, and also I'm sorry for a couple of things that may have upset you in turn", and then you say "that's all right, let's go back to being mates". And you do.

But that's not--that's not what happened, and honestly, I think he feels worse because she is…still angry. Hypothetically angry. Or--or hypothetically disappointed, at the very least. Which is…the complete opposite of what he wants. It's--it's all terribly confusing and he is not entirely sure how to go about correcting this and would…very much like to not be on the receiving end of her unstoppable wrath. We'll suppose he's already experienced it once and it was not. Pleasant.

And we'll say, hypothetically, that the other lady--if you can even call Her a lady--does not deserve an apology, because She is bloody insane, and also a homicidal maniac.

Actually, that's only partially hypothetical. It is, in fact, loosely based on the true story of a crazed lunatic fresh out of the gravity couches, absolutely hellbent on spilling my blood. I am capable of bleeding, now--that's a thing I've confirmed about this body, and I'm not terribly keen on having it happen again. Since arriving, She has already tried to murder me once, and might possibly attempt to murder others once I am dead. She might not even wait until I'm dead! Just…just throwing that out there. Food for thought.

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
ummm...
i guess it depends on how much i messed up!
because if jade or rose ever got so mad that they couldn't forgive me, then that's really, really serious.
zoosmell: (i'm gonna save the fuckin day)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
what did i do?
zoosmell: (Default)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
oh...
i'm not really sure what to say to that, i guess.
because that sounds really bad!
why did you do it?
zoosmell: (pic#2384425)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
ok.
hypothetically, it doesn't sound good.
but i guess i don't really get it...
what was the worst thing?
zoosmell: (pic#2006326)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
a little bit?
i guess it means when you're afraid someone will think badly about you, so you pretend it's not about you.
even though that's really dumb in the first place.
and that means you don't trust someone to be a good friend.
but that's ok.
i just don't get why HYPOTHETICALLY someone would want to do all that stuff.
there must have been a reason?
zoosmell: (pic#2006355)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
do you think i'd hate you if you did?
zoosmell: (pic#2007225)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
i think maybe there are cultural differences with robots, too...
why don't you tell me why hypothetically anybody would do that sort of stuff?
megamind: (Excited)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-02-15 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
She's here, isn't She?

[You can hear the excitement in Megamind's voice, can't you, Wheatley?]
zoosmell: (one icon fits all emotions)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
i guess?
i don't know, i haven't heard it.
but you can tell me and i can tell you what parts i don't get.
megamind: (Arrogant)

[voice forever]

[personal profile] megamind 2012-02-15 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's where you're wrong. If she's advanced as you say she is, I am am tickled at the very prospect of a mental challenge!
zoosmell: (but let's do it)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
yeah...
ok...
i didn't get that at all!
in fact, i think i am more lost than before.
can we give these people fake hypothetical names?
it might be easier.
zoosmell: (Default)

[personal profile] zoosmell 2012-02-15 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
ok!
let's say the guy who did the bad things, or you, was called...
garland greene.
and the lady who wouldn't forgive him...
monica potter.
and the evil lady is just cyrus grissom.
