See, that kind of thinking is exactly what I can get behind.

Why, so you can use me as a human shield?

[vocaloidiot]

Hahah, not a chance! If I've got the opportunity to learn, Kaito will leap in both feet first! Sometimes at speed, I hear flying kicks are the next lesson.

Hey, seeing as you're a robot, why not try headbutts? Most people don't try it because they're so painful, but I bet you could do a lot more damage for less pain than a regular human could.

[vocaloidiot]

Hmm... but precision parts are precision parts. If my eye broke, or something, I'd never be able to get spares.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

But by the same token, if your fingers or whatever broke, you wouldn't be able to fix those, right? Shouldn't you just avoid fighting altogether, then?

[vocaloidiot]

Sure, but I can fix up an arm easy! First time I met one of those dinosaurs it bit it right off. Now it's better than new!

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

Did it... hurt?

[vocaloidiot]

Well, only as long as I wanted it too. Kind of handy, being able to turn pain off.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

I seriously wish I could do that. Are you allowed to hurt people where you come from? Because you'd make great law enforcement.

[vocaloidiot]

It's bad for the press, and I'm not exactly up to military-grade spec or anything. Besides, I just don't like feeling nothing. It's a want-to-be-human thing.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more police than military. I can see where people might get worried about a robot army.

Want to be human? Some reason for that? Because it's a lot harder for us when we get our hands bitten off.

[vocaloidiot]

It's kind of hard to explain, but I'm a performer! Entertainment! People can relate better to people.

But some people must like you better as a robot, right? The whole 'inhuman mystique' thing.
