H-hello, my name is Hornet Man. It's nice to meet you! Or rather, it's nice that you found my Tumblr. W-whichever one applies.
Oh, but I guess this is the part where I tell you a bit about myself, right? W-well, let's see, I was created by Dr. Light with my sister and my six brothers. I was made to take care of the Monsteropolis flower park, so I specialize in botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. I can help with anything when it comes to gardens. A-and if it doesn't, I'll still try my best!
Oh, sorry if I seem nervous! I-I'm not, really. I'm afraid I haven't quite... shaken that little problem yet.

I did get a brainfreeze once remember?
I was in so much pain that I started destroying all of our furniture....
But besides that my favorite icecream is cookies & cream.
Lavender? Is their any left?
Oh, wait, I-I remember that now. I s-sure hope I n-never get b-brainfreeze. A-at least you helped fix s-some of it!
Cookies and cr-ream is a really sweet flavor! Somehow it suits-s you.
And I th-think Roll saved the rec-cipe. We could t-try making it again, if you’d l-like!
Blackout Breakout (Saving Time Plot)

There wasn’t another second to waste. Once the group would arrive at the Fortress, Elec knew his job and he knew it well. Sure, he wasn’t even sure if he’d be able to cause a blackout, but it was worth a shot. However, he needed the others in strategic positions, and would have to remember the plans of the electrical system.
He himself would make his way toward the main circuit breaker of the fortress. It may have gone against his usual job, but damn it, it was time to break some circuits and cause a blackout. For now, however, he would wait. He needed to wait for the strategic wires to be clipped so he could overload the system and cause a massive blackout.
Then, and only then, would the breakout begin.
So while Elec Man heads to the main circuit breaker, Tornado Man sneaks to his strategic position to clip a wire or two. That sounds easy enough. But they’re running out of time so they’d better do it quick. He decided to use his own sharp rotors to cut wires. No need for him to carry around a tool. He established commlinks with everyone before proceeding further.
“Hey, Big Bro Elecky? I’m almost where I should be. Can you tell me again which wire I have to cut? Not that I forgot but I wanna be sure. There’s no room for errors, right?”
Time sat in a well-lit corner of the room he had claimed as his own, bent over a personal project of his. The Wily-bots kept saying that the Light-bots were coming. Was it that they didn’t want Wily getting his hands on any of Light’s precious toys? That was the only reason he could think of for why they would come. But he still found it very unlikely that it would happen. If they didn’t want Wily to have him, they would have come right away, right? Right.
His head was suddenly filled with a robotic voice, signaling the start of a new hour. While he didn’t care for Light at all, Time did miss all the clocks he had in his room. Listening to time pass while he worked, all the ringing at the start of every hour. He carefully placed his work into a small wooden box, and tucked the box inside himself before closing his clock. He moved into his fort, which had gotten quite large since there were so many books he wasn’t tall enough to put away. It had a light source and a few pillows, which was just what he needed for a nice reading session.
Fire was in position as well, near the circuit breaker along with Elec. He needed to be there, not only to help Elec fry the living hell out of this thing, but to be his support. Elec couldn’t have possibly fully recovered from his breakdown earlier, and he’d promised he’d be right there with him. There was no way he was going to abandon his twin in his time of need.
“Just a li’l longer…”
Soon they’d have Ice, Quint, and Time back. Everything would be back to normal again, and they wouldn’t have to think back to this stressful time. It’d all be over soon.
Hornet checked around, making sure he was in the right spot. He was one circuit breaker away from Fire and ready to go as soon as he was given the signal. “I-I might as well g-get an eye out on th-things…” He mused quietly to himself. Just as quietly as he had conducted the rest of his task, he cracked open his armor, and let three of his drones crawl out onto his hands and start up their commlines. If they were going to be apart, even for just a moment, having extra eyes around would make it a lot easier to avoid getting trapped.
One by one, the little buzzing drones warmed up their wings with stretched out their legs before zooming up into the air to begin their silent patrols around the perimeter. Just as long as nothing got the jump on him, he’d be able to focus on his task at the circuit breaker and the feeds from all three with only some extra effort.
As soon as everything was established and ready, he finally opened up his commlink to the others. “Alright. I-I’m ready, brother! A-and the coast is clear s-so far. I’ll k-keep watching, though. I don’t think th-they know anything y-yet.” Or if they did, they were being very careful about it.
OOC: Saving Time Plot?

(What happened with the plot? It’s been almost a week since the last post involved with it. I don’t mean to sound irate or anything, but I hate to see several characters unable to post because they’re locked in the plot threads.)
(We really need to get this thing going. I really miss playing as Time. Here’s the last post: http://ragincajunfireman.tumblr.com/post/23647719320/blackout-breakout-saving-time-plot)
(Yes, we really need to get this going. This plot really has dragged on and a lot of us are weary of it and just want to get back to the fun part of RPing. I know people have been busy with exams and the like, but a lot of us are getting antsy with characters tied up in the plot.)
(Isn’t it Hornet’s turn? Unless he wants to be skipped… O.o)
[[Whahoops. I wasn’t aware we had a set turn rotation yet in the new thread. My dearest apologies, I’ll take that up ASAP so wecan get this over with.]]

Well, you a-are a lot bigger than th-the rest of us. That’s almost a s-scoop compared to you!
I w-wonder if they make icecream flavored ca-andy?
Not sure but i’ve heard of cotton candy flavored icecream.
I am pretty big, it only take 2 minutes for me to finish my iceream. What’s your favorite flavor Hornet?
Wow, that f-fast!? Makes me wonder if robots c-can get brain f-freeze like humans can… That might h-hurt to get your processors f-frozen up l-like that.
And I like nice smelling flavors. Like a nice v-vanilla, but the kind that still smells like the f-flowers. And there’s a really s-special flavor I like; l-lavender. Roll m-made some from a recipe once, and h-had me test it! What about your favorite? (Source: jewelman)

That sounds like a good idea~ I get to Barbecue!
Ice cream~! Yay~!
O-oh, that would be s-so much fun! Especially th-the barbecue, I’d feel bad if M-Magma didn’t get anything that he could e-eat again!
And perha-aps we should bring extra f-for Jewel and Plug…
Yeah.. As long as they both learn how to share.. I kind of feel shellfish though.
I have a whole tub of icecream. Maybe we could buy some candy for Maggy.
Well, you a-are a lot bigger than th-the rest of us. That’s almost a s-scoop compared to you!

*Sniff* you're so nice. Really? I've always doubted my work. Is it really good?
O-Of course it is, brother! You’ve always been one of th-the best builders around; everything’s a-always strong and st-sturdy!

Ah yes.. My original idea for Hornet. This brings back memories.
Oh? She was your original idea for Hornet, dad? Gee, I didn’t know about that until now.
“… AHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Whoo-boy, that was a good laugh,” Bass said as he kept chuckling.
… I like this version better than the current one, Treble grumbled.
H-hey! Wh-what’s so funny about th-that? Uhm, m-maybe you had a female p-prototype design, too.
N-now that I think about it, I thought I remembered an a-anon mentioning I was supposed to be a g-girl. Why did you change it, father?

“I received the mail yesterday and it was just directed to me. He didn’t tell anything about Time or Quint or Ice. He just wanted me to come back to the fortress and… There were so many other things I had to think about”
He looked to Elec. He didn’t seem to calm down enough, but the time was running out. He went closer to him and said: “I know that you have enough energy to do this. I know that it is hard because everyone of us is in the same boat. You don’t have to do this alone. Hornet and Fire will be with you and that blackout will create a real chance for us. You’re working with electricity every day, don’t you? You have enough experience to do this.”
As he stopped talking, tornadoman appeared and asked him.
“You will go into the Fortress and try to cause a Blackout. I showed a map to the others so they can go into it carefully. I’ll try to get Dr. Wily’s attention, so he won’t recognize you.”
The time ran. They really had to go soon.
“…I…help…help me up…Okay?” Elec suddenly murmured. ”…Th-thanks…for reassuring me…for reassuring me that…that I’m right to be upset with all of this going on…” He moved to get in position for Fire to help him up. And he knew that this breakdown couldn’t last too long. Otherwise it really would be his fault that bad things had happened. Besides. Hornet was right. He had to pull himself together, if even a little. ”…W-we probably n-need to…to get going soon. Or else it’ll be my fault…that things are going wrong…”
He swallowed hard. Create a blackout? He’d never actually created a blackout. He was normally in charge of just the opposite—fixing them. Wait. That was it. The opposite. ”…Y-you guys…I…I should confess one thing. I’ve never actually…caused a blackout. I’m…usually the one fixing them.” Here he gave an awkward, shaky laugh. ”S-Star, I’ll need to know the power grid to know what I can do…to mess it up. A-alright? It’d help me…and…and I think…I think I can trust you to tell me right as long as you’re finally being forthright.”
He then looked to his siblings and Star once more. ”…I’ll just need to know what wiring to damage…and where the main circuitbox is for the fortress. Once I know what wiring to damage…I’m gonna need help to station people at strategic positions to help me destroy the wiring. And…I’ll short out the circuitbox personally.”
“I can see that. So what’s the plan?”
Hm. Apparently they need to cause a blackout at Wily’s fortress while Star Man tries to distract him.
“… You can count on me, Big Bro Elec. I’m game. Let’s go~!”
Tornado Man ran but barely got ten steps ahead when he stopped in his tracks and turned to face the group.
“Eh… Where’s the fortress?”
Crystal Man shook his head and stood straight, pretending no one insulted him as he listened to everyone carefully. “Star? Shall I accompany you to Dr. Wily or stay with everyone and help cause a blackout?”
Elec Man never created a blackout before? But… what choice do they have but try and hope it doesn’t fail. “I-it will be fine. We can succeed if we work together. I-I have faith in you. And I will help however I can.”
Crystal Man let out a small sigh at Tornado Man. Really. “… We will lead or give directions to Skull Fortress. Please do not try to run on your own.”
“Alrigh’ Elec. Up we get.” Waiting for Elec to move a little, Fire got up, helping his twin up in the process, yet still keeping his hold on him. He smiled at Elec, nuzzling him a little. “Don’t worry ‘bout it Elec. I’ll always be there fer ya when ya need me. We’re gonna d’ this together, alrigh’?” Dang it, why did Elec think this was all his fault? Fire was sure it had been his, not Elec’s. He was the one that failed to save Ice and Quint.. and failed to stop Time..
Seemed the plan was set, and Elec was going to have to take out the power. “Elec.. I know ya can d’ it. I’ll be righ’ there beside ya.”
But enough waiting.. They couldn’t keep wasting time. “Alrigh’.. We can talk more on the way. We need t’ get headin’ out.”
Hornet gave a sigh of relief at his brothers. That was one less thing to worry about. He knew that, at least together, they would be able to make it. At least he hoped. It could all go wrong and— No, no. I have to trust my brothers. We’re going to do fine! Everyone will be fine, back home, and we won’t have to worry anymore! He repeated to himself in his mind, over and over again. Maybe afterwards ge might be able to rest his own frazzled nerves, or whatever the robot equivalent was. It was so hard to not freak out just like Elec did, but he knew he couldn’t. “Th-thank you. E-everything will be fine, I know it. Dod you need me to cut wires or stay with you?” He said with a nervous smile.
He looked to Star, and nodded dutifully. “I-I’ll do my best at either.” He then looked to Crystal and thought a moment. “Maybe you sh-should go with Star? Wouldn’t Wily find i-it strange that Star came back but you weren’t with him? Maybe it’ll be more believable, unless you know he wouldn’t notice.”
[[We’ll all be moving to this thread. Probably at the end of this round, I’m guessing. c:]]
