[mynameisallen]

[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

Comments

[stillnewatthis]

Oh? May I inquire as to why?

[There are no real resources for building omnics here, after all.]

[mynameisallen]

Because he would be around others who enjoy this kind of stuff. While he would have that back home to it's always good to have a new place to inspire and try to not kill people.

[stillnewatthis]

Oh, I see! The new environment and interactions would provide beneficial learning experiences for him. I too have benefited from that here.

[mynameisallen]

Exactly. I find this type of thing does help with understanding and learning something new to to help for when we go home. At least I like to hope that.

[stillnewatthis]

I have acquired an immense amount of data to integrate into my defense tactics... although I am not certain how much of it is relevant. Earth is not known for its supernatural trains, after all.

[mynameisallen]

They aren't, but things about the train we don't need to remember. The skills and tactics we use to deal with missions can be useful.

[stillnewatthis]

That is correct, but I will remember them anyway. If nothing else, it would be a shame to forget.

[mynameisallen]

It would. But hey while we're at it might as well make friends, right?

[Because they, she seems pretty okay to him. So long as she wasn't made by Komui that is a plus.]

[stillnewatthis]

And that is precisely what we are doing! It has been wonderful to meet so many interesting people.

[mynameisallen]

It has been. People seem to really care on here, but then again with the places I have been that seems like a pretty normal thing with some exceptions.

[stillnewatthis]

The train seems to have a bias for active and more heroic types. Given its mission, that is not surprising.

[mynameisallen]

That would make sense and that is also why Purple is one of the bigger teams because of it.

AT least that is what I assume. All are heroic, but I feel like there are more to the others whereas Purple just feel like heroic.

[stillnewatthis]

I do not understand why I was assigned to the red team. There is clearly something more to it than we know!

[mynameisallen]

Oh, of course there is and when you talk to people you do find a few common things in certain teams.

[stillnewatthis]

What do you consider to be the common theme of the red team, then?

[mynameisallen]

In missions they are the ones who usually do the most dangerous missions after all so it's clear they at least are the ones who can go into those situations and probably are able to make tough choices if they are needed.

They also seem to be really strong.

[stillnewatthis]

Strength should belong to the most heroic. Also, I would rather be a hero than known only for my strength, although it is true I am well-suited for dangerous situations.

[mynameisallen]

Are you good at making tough choices that for example someone like me might not be able to?

[Allen knew he had his limits due to the kind of person he was after all.]

[stillnewatthis]

I have my directives. I have my understanding of what I am supposed to do. What Efi desired me to do, to become. I have not yet faced a situation in which those have not guided me.

[mynameisallen]

SO you make choices based on what you've been programmed to do? Explain exactly what that is for me? Since we are from different worlds and all.

[stillnewatthis]

I do not think it is so different from humans. When you are growing up, you learn values and expectations. You have what is important to you. Mine may have been entered into me as code, but they are still the values and expectations my creator wished to pass on to me. I am not bound by them, but I always must consider them.

[mynameisallen]

[Considering Allen only remembers from a certain age he couldn't be sure where or how he learned those things, most likely though what happened to him. But he simply nodded, he was paying attention to her words at least.]

I think I understand. This will be my something new learned today. It really was interesting.

[stillnewatthis]

Humans and omnics have much to learn from each other. That is why I am so glad to have these opportunities. On this train, I have grown and developed as a person and as a hero.

[mynameisallen]

Yeah, travelling to new places for help in that aspect. I've learned a lot from mine and it's why I kinda hope when we do get to go home we can keep the experiences and what we learn.

[stillnewatthis]

While editing an omnic's memory is relatively simple compared to editing a human's... neither is simple or easy at all. It would be difficult to simply make us forget.
