Protocol goes to Driver after getting a message from him. The two discuss what happened as well as their feelings on things. Protocol decides to do something that may help her get what she wants while she and Driver continue their relationship.
<Protocol> 4 Mooshy ooey gooey love light!
<Driver> ::is in his workplace, yes. Is sitting all alone in his office sorta moping and poking atta computer he was supposed to fix. Is sitting amidst compy parts.::
<Protocol> ::sooooo finds Driver at that ISP location perhaps on the Internet?::
<Protocol> ::ah office!::
<Driver> ::isn’t using tools either. Issa using his finger to poke at the wires. XD And, yesh! You may!::
<Protocol> ::notes where he wrote that from then and appears in Driver’s office. or rather just in the compy. using its speakers first to make sure coast is clear and asks:: Driver…?
<Driver> ::perks his ears, turn to look at his compy screen:: Protocol…?
<Protocol> I recieved your letter… is it alright for me to come out into the office?
<Driver> Yeah, sure. No one else is here. Office is already closed. ::not moving. Is emo-ing. Pity the emo-er! XD::
<Protocol> ::emo emo emo! are you wearing your midnight tears black jeans? XDDD zaps outta the computer speakers there and stands before him. inna usual skirt ‘n shirt combo, of blue and light blue today with blue boots::
<Driver> ::mun dying. No! It’s Graveyard Gray!:: Hey. ::softly, not getting up. XD::
<Protocol> Hey… ::feeling for once, uncomfortable in front of Driver. motions to another chair in there:: May I? :;as in sit::
<Driver> Sure. ::keeps poking absentmindedly at them wires. Is waiting for her to yell at him::
<Protocol> ::boy am I that cruel? Well okay I guess I am but… -g-:: Driver I… ::sits down:: I’m… I’m sorry. For whot I did to you.
<Driver> ::small sigh, leans back from the compy now:: Do you mean that, or are you saying that to make me feel less guilty? ::not being sarcastic::
<Protocol> I mean it. ::looking at him seriously now that he’s looking more towards her::
<Driver> ::looks at her some, then looks down:: I’m sorry, too. I…
<Protocol> ::holds up a hand:: No. You’ve no reason to be sorry, Driver. This is all my fault.
<Driver> ;;shakes his head:: I screwed up, Protocol. I never wanted to see you get hurt, and here you almost…
<Driver> ::issa traumatized, maw::
<Protocol> You were just under the influence of that virus. ::scoots the chair closer to him. puts a hand on his knee if he lets her:: That virus which I allowed, even prodded into spreading, all because of my selfishness.
<Driver> I thought I had learned to control it…
<Protocol> You probably had… because I wasn’t a factor in it. I was behaving, keeping you happy, helping out the biologicals and staying out of trouble. You know very well that’s what has always caused it to spread.
<Driver> Tell me the truth about something, Protocol… Did you really hate the way we lived? Was what made me happy making you upset?
<Protocol> Making you happy never “upset” me Driver. ::smiles some, leans back in her seat:: Our quiet time together was nice, I’m happy with you, I love you. But… a part of me wants to do something more. Living the so called ‘Amerikat dream’ isn’t for me. Not always anyway.
<Driver> ::nods:: I see. Protocol… I’d do anything to make you happy, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness. If… what you want to do means that much to you…
<Protocol> Driver… don’t. I want YOU to be happy. You’re so sweet and kind, but… I’m nothing but a selfish being. ::smile fades:: I could blame it on my earliest mergings with Dark Kat in gaining such a personality trait as he was the first I’d merged with, but that would mean everything I feel, everything that I am isn’t really me, but parts of others. Maybe that *is* all we are to some extent.
<Driver> ((<Driver> I want YOU to be happy. <Protocol> I want YOU to be HAPPIER. <Driver> I can’t be happier than you! <Prot> You so can! Be happy, dangit!))
<Protocol> ((::DIIES::))
<Protocol> ((<Matrix>::pops in:: If yer happy and you know it, SHUT UP ALREADY! ::pops out::))
<Driver> ::nods:: Probably… ::softly::
<Driver> ((;;SOOOOOOODEAD!!!::))
<Protocol> But… ::looking at him fondly:: Perhaps that is why part of me didn’t want to see the complete deletion of billions of biological kats, because part of me came from you and your will when you aided me in gaining a ‘soul’.
<Driver> Maybe. ::sighs through his nose, leans over some and rests his head on her lap::
<Protocol> ::maw lol kittenish Driver. lets him do so and strokes his hair some as she scoots next to him:: I may have a way for both of us to have all we want.
<Driver> ::softly:: Really?
<Protocol> ((<Driver> Oh? <Protocol> Yes. I’m pregnant with your cyberkitten. ::smiles:: <Driver>::pales, wide-eyed:: Wha…? <Prot> I figure if we have a little army of little Drivers and Protocols running about, I can boss them around and feel like I can rule SOMEthing in this world.))
<Driver> ((::SOOODEAD!::))
<Protocol> Don’t laugh at me now… okay?
<Driver> ::blinks:: Why would I laugh?
<Protocol> Well… ::takes in a breath then exhales:: I’m going into politics.
<Driver> Really? ::softly, wrapping his arms around her legs.XD::
<Protocol> Yeah… I figure ::rubbing his back gently now as they talk:: it would be a better way to gain power to get elected instead of taking over the biologicals by force.
<Driver> How are you gonna do that?
<Protocol> I’ll have to start at the low ranks of course, work my way up. Once I get to be mayor, next step is to move to govenor and maybe a senetor or congresswoman… ::grinning:: then President of the United States of Amerikat.
<Driver> ::smiles some at that:: So you’d start here in MKC?
<Protocol> ((senator. sene… lol good thing mun isn’t going into politics, she can’t spell. ::tho bet our current prez can’t either >_>::))
<Driver> ((::dies!!:: That’s for him to decide! He’s the decider!))
<Protocol> Of course. It’s where I was “born” so to speak. At least that’s whot it says on my alias birth certificate. Ana Lytical. I think that name will do for this sort of thing as well.
<Protocol> ((::dead!::))
<Driver> Well… if this is what you want… you have my support.
<Protocol> Really? You understand that I’ll be busy often and will need to be out late.
<Driver> That’s fine. I’ll throw a lot of wild parties while you’re away. ::smiles;:
<Protocol> ::smirks down at him:: With who?
<Driver> I dunno…
<Protocol> If it is Matrix and Sypher, make sure he cleans up after himself.
<Protocol> ((make sure Matrix^))
<Driver> ::chuckles:: I’ll be sure of that.
<Protocol> So… does this mean that… you won’t leave me? That you’ll have me back?
<Driver> If… you’ll have me back.
<Protocol> ::leans down to hug him:: I’ll have you back, just as you are. ::says quietly, then kisses his cheek::
<Driver> ::maw, gently pulls her down to sit ‘er on his lip and huggles her::
<Driver> ((LAP))
<Protocol> ::pulled down and sits. purrs awww sweetness! ;D:: You’ll have to use your alias as well as I’m sure it will come up that I have a boyfriend.
<Protocol> ((XD ::wasn’t gonna say a thing::))
<Driver> Don’t worry. I will.
<Protocol> ::what IS his alias btw?::
<Driver> ::I haven’t thought of one yet. @_@::
<Driver> ;:BRBRQ!::
<Protocol> ::lol poor negelected Driver!::
<Protocol> ((ok!))
<Driver> ::i know! Poor dear… I abuse him so!:: So… what now?
<Protocol> ((wb!))
<Protocol> Well… I did need to go and speak with someone on getting involved in things so… I’ll see you when you get home later? ::smiles::
<Driver> ::nods:: We’ll do whatever you want tonight. ::kisses her on the cheek::
<Protocol> Thanks, Driver. ::gives him another squeeze hug then stands:: Don’t let those biologicals run you over now. ::grins:: They should be promoting you or giving you a raise.
<Driver> ::soft chuckle:: I’ll mention it to them.
<Protocol> ::kisses his forehead:: I’ll see you soon then. ::goes acoherent:: I love you.
<Driver> I love you, too. ::holding her hands as she goes acoherent, giving her a genuine smile this time::
