Pranks Across the Net

DM, Mephy and Zwei || glitchy-prankster​:

The Darkloid huffed a bit but understood the unwritten words.  The huff was more in response to being minorly inconvenienced.  Well, that and he despised having blind spots.  He preferred having an eye on everything at all times.

Unfortunately for Cam, Mephy was pretty perceptive to feelings and undertones.  His own tones got a bit somber, which was odd with his usually chipper voice.  “But like with me and my glitching, something she had manifested in an illness.”  A worried look to the room before looking to DM as if to ask for a visual but got a head shake from his twin.

The silverette only nodded, knowing exactly what was going on.  “Until the magic wears off, she will need medical care...”  A glint, like embers of a fire, disturbed the tranquil silver pools, revealing the brief flicker of anger bubbling up.  A brief rush of cold chilled the air.  Yet it was gone with a soft inhale and exhale.  “But neither of you shall endure it alone.”

A smile and nod from the Navi as he sent a message to Hope.  Wanting to know how much longer it’d be until Cam could see Melody.  Not realizing that DM had already done so moments before him.

Mephy, Zwei, and DM:

🍀 CLOVER - Do they believe in luck? Are they lucky?

Mephy believes whole heartedly in luck and considers himself lucky to have what he does despite everything he's been through.

Zwei somewhat believes in it. He does think luck had a hand in his reunion with Mephy and Vera. Doesn't consider himself lucky.

DM flips between believing and not believing at the drop of a hat. He's lucky to be alive considering most Darkloids are evil.

Mephy.EXE:

😭 CRYING - What makes them cry? Do they cry easily?

Being an emotional NetNavi, Meph tends to tear up very easily. However, he will only full-on cry if he's extremely angry, happy, or sad. So, there's a range of things that will make the pixel tears fly. For example: Refer to NetNavis as just tools and he'll tearfully yell his little digital lungs out while glitching.

🌙 MOON - What is your OC's greatest wish? How far are they willing to go for it?

To spread joy and smiles across the entire world, to both NetNavis and humans. He'll do just about anything to do it. It's actually part of the reason he became a NetSavior with his NetOp. If things are peaceful, joy spreads far more easily.

Zwei, Mephy and DM || glitchy-prankster​:

Upon having the recorded message spring up, DM simply sent a request for access to Melody’s room.  Figuring that if Hope didn’t hear them outside by some miracle, she’d see his message and grant it.  After all, Mels was just as much his niece as she was Mephy and Zwei’s.

Zwei couldn’t suppress a light chuckle that bubbled from his throat.  Amused lightly by her reaction.  

Mephy snickered a bit before speaking up.  “After recoverin’ from the Dark Aura poisoning, Big Bro had to undergo some therapy.  Both physical and mental.  It’s been tough but he’s come far!”  A great big smile before he continued.  “Resigning from his position at Victor’s company did him real good!”

This earned a light shake of the head from his NetOp before the subject set itself upon why they were there.  His gaze followed Cam’s, not quite understanding her feelings but a knot formed in his stomach regardless.  Silver eyes reflecting concern.  

The jovial NetNavi sat on the silverette’s shoulder nodding to show he was listening.  “Seems Big Bro’s not the only one who’s changed for the better.”  He remarked, smiling at Cam to try to ease her mind.  “And if a Strange Grey, did it then it’s probably temporary, right?  Like the time they switched our roles.”  A sound deduction given past experiences with the strange powers of the grey beings.

"Oof!" Mephy was nearly knocked over by this poor Navi. Never one to leave someone in such a predicament, he went right to helping mode. "Whoa, hold up my dude! Lemme help ya with that!" And he went right to gently trying to tug the jar off.

Family… || glitchy-prankster​:

It was more Zwei navigating than Mephy or DM.  One Navi was looking around in amazement while the other was focused on networks and access points to note for later.  Both appearing as holograms on his shoulders.

The silver haired young man stopped when he saw that raspberry hair.  Not even flinching when she sprung to her feet.  The joke getting a subtle smile to tug at his lips.  Yet before he could speak, Mephy sprung to his feet and shouted.

“THAT’S WHAT I KEEP TELLING HIM!”  He even got a little pouty and looked to his NetOP while puffing out his cheeks.  Then his focus went back to Cam, pouty face melting back to his usual smile.  Though it was a bit smaller due to circumstances.

Zwei shook his head a bit as he accepted the towel.  One of the notable changes with the silverette, accepting aid.  He undid his ponytail just for a moment to dry his hair just a tad more before resting the towel on his shoulders to catch any remaining droplets.  Then he redid his ponytail and tried to fix his hair up so it wasn’t so messy.  “We can worry about the consequences of braving Kingland’s torrential rains later.  Right now concerns fall to both you and Melody.”

Mephy nodded as those emerald eyes fell on Cam.  “How’re you holdin’ up, Big Sis?”

This got DM to look up from what he was doing.  Which was trying to patch into the network in Melody’s room so he could know what was going on.

Zwei, Mephy and DM || glitchy-prankster​:

Cam didn’t need to admit it.  At this point, the trio understood her.  On top of that, the pause spoke volumes to them.  However, it would be Zwei to speak rather than Mephy or even the ever-talkative DM.  Simply trying to give her some sort of reassurance.  “We’ll be there shortly.”  

And he wouldn’t be lying, it was a short jog to that coffee shop.  He’d be in the door of the clinic about roughly ten minutes later, hair matted down from the Kingland rain.  Taking a moment to try to dry off so he didn’t make the floor wet or at least make it less of a hazard.  It’d been a fair while since they’d had seen each other last.  While Mephy and DM would be easily recognized, Zwei had changed a fair bit.  Gone was the prim proper business suit.  In its place, a casual yet still professional long sleeve covered with a sweater vest, a stylish scarf with Mephy’s Navi emblem, slacks and boots.  Yet the most striking change came in his silver hair.  A rose red streak on the right side went from his bangs to the tip of the small ponytail.

Those silver eyes, however, hadn’t changed.  A bit brighter perhaps but still like two pools of moonlight shimmering in winter by some firelight.

DM gasped while holding his chest, looking offended.  “U-Ugly?  Ya best get dem eyes checked, Historical Friction.”

hopeful-hugz​:

“SORRY!”

Zwei shook his head with a sigh.  “At this point I firmly believe Mephy is unable to change.  No matter what is tossed at him.”  He moved to shelter under a tree while listening to Cam.  Redoing his short ponytail while he did.  “If I recall correctly, it’s next to the coffee shop down the street from us.”  

“I pinned it on the map!”

“Thank you, Meph.”  As much as the silverette adored his Navi being helpful, he wasn’t sure he could fully trust anything navigation wise from him.  Not without double checking.

hopeful-hugz​:

“Yep, we’re on da way.”  DM responded before transferring the call to an earpiece Zwei had.  “Camshaft’s on da horn, she gonna give directions.”  Then he went silent so he could send her their current location.

“Apologies for not being in contact sooner.  The last three years have been rather busy.”  The silverette apologized, stopping at the corner of a street, waiting for directions.  “Wish we could meet up again on better terms but perhaps after this is over we can catch up proper.  Erm warning, Mephy is going to-”  Zwei barely had enough time to take the earpiece out.

“HI CAM!  LONG TIME NO SEE UH WISH IT WAS HAPPIER TIMES TO SEE!  LET MELS KNOW HER UNCLES ARE ON THE WAY!”  And that was Mephy’s input.  “Okay, Big Bro, ya can take it from here.”

Zwei put it back in.  “Apologies, there are hardly any warnings for him.”

@hopeful-hugz

Zwei and Mephy were about to go visit Cam and Melody when they overheard what was going on.  Or rather DM heard and told them because of course he has tabs on everyone in the contact list.  Wasting no time, the silverette picked up his PET and headed out into the rainstorm outside to go check on them.

DM, however, decided to call Cam to let her know they were on the way.  “Yo Camshaft, ‘eard w’at’s goin’ on.  Yer bros are on da way.”  A pause as Zwei nearly slips on the rain coated paths.  “Give ‘r take a few slips.  Essense of Kingland gel is bein’ applied.”

Match Mun here to let you guys know I’m done with updates for the most part.  I’ll be working on some drabbles to fill in some blanks and yes DM, you’re updated design is coming.  I just need to finish this one thing and I’ll be right on it.

DM sits in the corner, half glaring.  He does not like having to wait.

“Oooo!  Really?!”  Mephy was excited, easy to see by the sparkle in his eyes.  It’d been a long time since he’d seen his best curry buds.  “I’d rather have a sculpture of you and Ragin’ Bull though.  You two were my first buds after the bad logout and set my life for the better ya know!”

He grinned putting his hands behind his head, effectively making them disappear into the massive floof.  “So whatchu been up to while Big Bro and I were busy with trainin’?”  He was bouncing on his toes, having news for his friends but wanted to hear what they’d been doing first.
