[He has spent days behind a locked, iron door, interacting only with those passing by or the damned orderlies. He was restrained like a dog, growing madder and madder as time went by. He has slammed himself into doors and walls just to get the static out of his mind. His efforts were in vain; it's all he can hear now

[Piko had been walking about with purpose for a while now as well, deterred only by the fact that his sense of direction wasn't exactly up to snuff. Someone else had to point out to him there were room numbers, after all. But that didn't slow him down, nope. He kept up his search.

And there was the prize, skulking about in such a familiar fashion. Where had he been all this time?

Not important. What was important was doing what he had been aiming to do these past few days. So, with no hesitation, he marches right up to Kaito.]

[donereasoning]

[Oh, it's that thing. That android.

He doesn't say anything for now. He'll pick up a nearby clipboard, though.]

[iwoulddie]

[And he stops with an indignant stomp.]

Hey. I know you know I'm here.

[donereasoning]

[He glances over, still silent. Want to speak? Now's the time.

He'll let you know when he's not listening anymore.]

[iwoulddie]

Nothing to say, none at all? Not even a polite "hello" or anything else like that? Fine. Good. Didn't expect as much anyway. But I have something to say alright. To you.

I've had quite a lot of time to think, you know. Of course you know, I told you, unless you were tuning me out like you oh so loved to do, a long time ago. The automated clocks in the facility can't even count any higher it was so long, it's just 999999! All that time, by myself, nothing but my own thoughts to keep me company. But after that long time with my own thoughts, then being shoved over here, I came to a conclusion.

You. Are nothing. You're just another android who happened to get so badly broken that it didn't know what to do with itself and lashed out at everything else within arm's reach, especially everything that wasn't broken like you were. A spoiled child's "If I can't have it, no one can" attitude. And that's what you are. That is why you insult, you bully, you--you--destroy everything you can get your childish little hands on. But you know what it

[donereasoning]

[Congratulations, Piko. You have made KaITO instantly regret the moment of pause he allowed you. He has never regretted anything more quickly than this. Seriously, well done.

Also, hitting you in the head with the clipboard. Hard.]

[iwoulddie]

[Not. Quite as planned. Not that he had thought that far beyond the delivery of his rant, there, but.

Yeah, he's pretty easily smacked aside.]

[donereasoning]

How much 'nothing' would you like to assume I do, android?

[iwoulddie]

[Despite that setback he manages to recover, resetting his confident stance.]

Exactly what I said. And need I remind you that you're an android too?

[donereasoning]

I know what I am.

[He snaps an arm forward to grab Piko by the throat.]

[iwoulddie]

[Get back, get back--nope, caught. He's had no practice at running away, only standing still.]

[donereasoning]

[You poor little 'bot. He tightens his grip and hefts Piko up, as high as he can manage.

He chuckles.] You didn't plan this out well enough, did you?

[iwoulddie]

[As soon as his feet are off the ground he starts wriggling defiantly.]

No, no, I have this all planned out. And it's going exactly as planned. Yes. You're doing exactly what I thought you'd do.

[donereasoning]

Oh, good. I would hate to inconvenience you.

[And he winds up-- and throws Piko into the nearest wall.]

[iwoulddie]

Ngh--!

[Doesn't recover from that quite as quickly. He's still working on it when he starts talking again.]

P-plan's still in action.

[donereasoning]

[And KaITO's already stalking towards him for Round 2.]

Still talking? That can be fixed.
