((NOTE: Yeah, apparently the network card WASN'T busted. My computer was just being mean...but that really doesn't matter now, since the fic is up anyway!))
Aqua(me!) : Hey, everybody! I'm back from the dead! Yay! …okay, not from the dead, but from a really, really long period of absence, partially from not being able to log back in to my old account, and partially because school, other fandoms, and personal issues sort of dragged me away from FF dot net. But nonetheless, I am back. And to celebrate, I'm reviving the surprisingly popular "Ask Oil and Time" fic!
Rhythm(my OC) : Hooray! ^^
Time Man: *sarcastically* Oh, joy….more of my time wasted.
Oil Man: Hey, lighten up, bro! It wasn't that bad last time!
Aqua: Before I open this fic up for reviews, I'm going to take some of the reviews that were sent in after I discontinued the original story, and Time and Oil (and Rhythm for this chapter only) will finally give you answers. I might also throw in some already answered questions that I feel had weak answers. If you don't understand what's going on, or you don't know who Rhythm is, go read the original fic-
Time: Stop stalling and get it over with!
Aqua: Okay, okay! One last thing! Would you do the honor of reading the disclaimer, Time?
Time: *sigh* I suppose. Megaman and all related characters and concepts belong to Capcom. The only thing the author owns is the story and her OC, Rhythm.
Aqua: Awesome. Now, on with the questions!
From jdj:
do you think that shadow blade is cheap
Time: Shadow Blade? Well, let's see. Can be shot in five different directions, has two uses per each unit of weapon energy which adds up to fifty-six uses with full weapon energy, returns to you like a boomerang…yes, I'd say it's very cheap.
Oil: From what Rock says, it's tied with the Metal Blade on the cheap weapons list.
Rhythm: Oh, definitely.
witch game would you play first:megaman x1,megaman zero 1,megaman zx,megaman 64,megaman starforce or megman battle network
Time: If I ever had time for video games, the first I'd play would likely be Battle Network. It seems interesting. [In his mind: Maybe Dr. Light will get it for me for Christmas this year…]
Oil: Yeah, Battle Network does look pretty cool!
Rhythm: Megaman X1 for me! X's design is awesome! Though, I can't help but think he looks familiar somehow, and not just because he looks like Rock…
Time & Oil: Yeah…
From ZombiePossum13:
How would you react if you walked into a room and saw Megaman having sex with Roll?
Time & Oil: *wide eyed and blushing* NEXT QUESTION!
From ZombiePossum13:
what came first? the chicken or the egg?
Time, Oil & Rhythm: …Really?
From NightmareSyndrom:
Hello once again, Oil, Time. And greetings to you, Rhythm.
Rhythm, have you Roll and Splash ever gone on a girls night out? If so, what do you usually do?
Rhythm: We do have girls nights out, on occasion. It's a bit difficult to take Splash along though since, you know, lack of legs and all that. We do what you'd expect one to do on a girls night out, y'know, makeovers, watching our favorite shows, that kind of thing.
Oil, where did you get that scarf? My current one is rather worn.
Rhythm: I actually want to know where you got that scarf, too.
Oil: My scarf? Well, I had it when I was first activated, so I think either Dr. Light or Roll made it as part of my design. I think I've seen scarves that are somewhat similar at a few superstores though.
Rhythm, What's you favorite food?
Rhythm: My favorite food, huh? Hm, that's a toughie….*thinks for a minute or two*…I have a fondness for Cajun food, especially crawfish!
Rhythm, what's your greatest fear?
My greatest fear is losing my family. *hugs Time and Oil close*
*Cue "D'awwww"'s*
Time: *giving his sister a rather awkward half-smile and blushing* W-well, that's—that's very touching, Rhythm.
Oil: *hugging his sister back* Couldn't live without you either, sis~!
Rhythm, what Robot master do you like the least?
Rhythm: *smiles and lets her brothers go* The robot master I like the least? Um…
*thought bubble appears with the image of Tengu Man destroying the lab and harassing Rush, only to get attacked by the Light family*
…yeah, definitely Tengu Man. He's arrogant, loud, and destructive. And he tried to hurt Rush.
((A/N: Not to mention he is a huge PAIN to defeat in Megaman and Bass, and he has an obnoxious voice in Megaman 8))
Rhythm, what do you do in your spare time?
Rhythm: Anyways…in my spare time I enjoy practicing on my keytar, usually with Time tutoring me. I also like to doodle, play video games, spend time around Sword Man, and occasionally I'll help Dr. Light in his lab.
Rhythm, what's you favorite memory?
My favorite memory is my first meeting with Sword Man. Last winter, a freak snowstorm hit the city one afternoon, and I was caught in the middle of it. While I was trying to make my way home, I unknowingly stumbled into the street and tripped. A truck was coming down the road, somehow able to see me, but I wasn't able to see the truck—or hear it, since the wind was so loud. I was struggling to get up as the cold had jammed my joints. When I saw the truck, it was so close that I was certain it was going to run me over. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the impact—but the only thing I felt was a hand on my shoulder, warm like a human's hand, but obviously metal. I opened my eyes, and saw him just staring at me with concern. *sigh* I'll never forget that day…
Rhythm, what is you least favorite memory?
My least favorite memory? Anything and everything involving Tengu Man or Dr. Wily.
Time, do you find it somewhat creepy that I'm asking your sister all these semi-personal questions?
Time: I'm only mildly concerned, seeing as she has a boyfriend already, and most wouldn't want to mess with that, but you could very well be asking these questions simply because you wish to befriend her. Don't think I won't have my eye on you though.
It looks like my time grows short yet again. Once more I apologize for any misspellings. Ta-ta, and pleasent Nightmares!
Rhythm: Thanks for all the questions!
From Azure Neko:
Hey again. I'm not feeling witty at the moment.
Oil, Rhythm, what are your favorite kinds of candy? I already know Time adores Twix.
Oil: My favorite candy? Lessee….I'd have to say Mike&Ikes.
Rhythm: I like Skittles myself!
For all three of you, what are your favorite foods, besides candy?
Rhythm: I already said what my favorite food is, so only Time and Oil have to answer this one.
Time: My favorite food….fettucine alfredo, I suppose. It's sort of a comfort food to me.
Oil: Pizza, definitely!
From Marshmallow:
Hi guys. I only have one question this time, since others don't like my imagination.
If you could do ANYTHING and go ANYWHERE, what would you do and where would you go?
Well, I'm off. *Rolls away*
Time: Oh, boy….tough question….assuming it wouldn't cause a time paradox, I'd go back in time and view the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Oil: I'd go snowboarding down Mount Everest! It'd be awesome!
Rhythm: I'd join the FBI to hunt down aliens!
Time & Oil: *looking at her weirdly*
Rhythm: …What?
Time: Have you been watching Men in Black again?
Rhythm: …..maaayyybeeeee.
Time: *facepalm*
From Copy Bot:
yo,whats up?
any way...like i said we fortress guardians are planning to ask you guys some question...
so,these are mine:
1-if dr wily EVER make a robot master named "woman man"...
Time, Oil & Rhythm: O_o Uh, NO.
im gonna surrender to you guys and let dr light change my programing, so that i wont ever remember working for the old coot...
Time: *raises an eye ridge* How do we know this isn't just a trick to get Dr. Light's most important files? Nevertheless, I suppose we could give you a chance…but we're going to be watching you 24/7.
2-why do you hate me?
Rhythm: It's kinda hard not to hate someone who impersonated Rock and made him look evil…
3-let go and beat elecman up!
Time: I'm willing to beat up Elec Man any time~
From TheNameless-V2:
Wow, I haven't reviewed in a while.
Did you two get the pet Metools I sent you?
Time: *holding a Metool* Does this answer your question? [In his mind: *SQUEAL* IT'S SO ADORABLE!]
Remember how the robots used during Megaman 6 were created by scientists around the world instead of Wily? (He stole them during the finals of the 1st anual robot tournament)Well, I created Flameman.
Rhythm: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. You're Flame Man's creator? Well, tell him we said hi!
Can you two give me the coordinates of Wilys fortress? I need them for the nuke I have aimed at it. Oh, and it has Flashman strapped to it.
Time: A nuke with Flash Man strapped to it, you say? *evil laugh* The coordinates are—(insert coordinates here).
XBox 360, or PS3?
DS or PSP?
Time, Oil & Rhythm: Playstation 3 and PSP all the way.
Oilman, this next question is for you.
Would you rather be related to Timeman, or Superman?
And...I think thats enough for now.
Oil: Who would I rather be related to? Well that's easy!
Time: *glances at Oil from the corner of his eye; he thinks Oil would rather be related to Superman*
Oil: …Time Man, of course! Superman is cool and all, but Time's my bro! He and I may fight a lot, but we're still family, and nothing's gonna change that!
*cue "D'awwws" again*
Time: *surprised and touched; smiles slightly at Oil*
From shadowreploid:
Gee, this looks like fun! Hi! I don't think these questions have been asked, so sorry if I'm wrong about that.
Okay; Question #1: Rhythm, what question would you like to be asked that you haven't heard yet, and what is the answer?
Rhythm: Oh, hey! A new reviewer! Hi there! A question I want to be asked? Hm…oh! My favorite band, and the answer is Coldplay.
Q #2: All-What would your reaction be if Sword Man went insane? (I know, this is an incredibly cruel question.)
Time, Oil & Rhythm: *all are stunned into silence*
Rhythm: *holding back tears*
Time: *hugs her close, patting her back* It's alright Rhythm, it didn't actually happen; it's just a cruel 'what-if'… *glares at shadowreploid*
((A/N: Expect an angry Time Man to appear on your doorstep soon. ^^; ))
Q #3: Oil-Do you have a favorite brand of oil? If so, what is it?
Oil: Okay, while Time is comforting our little sis…I don't really have a specific brand of oil that I like.
Rhythm: *sniffling slightly* I-I'm okay…
Time: You're sure?
Rhythm: Y-yeah…
Q #4: Last question! All-What would your reaction be if Roll announced that she was in love with Forte? (I'm from the same school of thought as Teribane, apparently...)
Time, Oil & Rhythm: *staring at last question* O_O;
((A/N: RollxForte ftw!))
From LyraMelody:
You haven't updated in a long time, you go on vacation or something?
1: Whats Elec-pervs biggest fear? I wanna use it against him.
Time: Elec Man's biggest fear…well, he actually has two: becoming hideous and being trapped in a rubber room.
2: How would you feel if they continued that old Ruby-Spears Megaman cartoon and had you two as regulars on it, like as good guys?
Oil: The Ruby-Spears Cartoon? Isn't that the one where-
Time: Ugh, yes, where Cut Man and Guts Man make even lamer puns than usual and Rush is a Scooby Doo rip off. No. Just—no.
3: Have you seen Fire Man lately, I wanna challange him to SSB(Peach FTW!)
Rhythm: I think Fire Man was at the city landfill a while ago….
From The Riddler:
Hello. I've spotted this fic a few times and I finnaly decided to reveiw.
Question 1: What type of person do you think you are?
Time: A very punctual person.
Oil: I see myself as someone who's full of personality and generally fun to be around.
Rhythm: I simply see myself as unique. Take that as you will.
Question 2: Who are your closest friends?
Oil: Our closest friends? Besides each other and the rest of our family, the Cossacks, the KGN—yes, even Burner Man—and Sword Man.
Time & Rhythm: Agreed.
Question 3: My goodness, that Marshmellow fellow has some strange ideas. How did you feel about them?
Time: Marshmellow's ideas...to sum it up, the sky's the limit with them, honestly.
Question 4: Can you solve the riddle? 'How many fools can a foolish fool fool if the foolish fool could fool fools?'
Time, Oil & Rhythm: *stare at the riddle* Uhh….next question.
Question 5: How is your daily life like?
Time: Our daily life? Pretty much like everyone elses, with some Dr. Wily attacks on occasion.
Thank you very much for your awnsers. Also, I am a bit dissapointed about the people who are asking about 'Elec-perv'. He may be `evil` to you, but really. Do you actually feel that way? I am not a big fan, but I suppose someone should serve justice to the RM. For example; How would you feel if your role model/ fav. charecter was being flamed? You'd be saying "You troll" or something along those lines, right? Now please, for the sake of my manners; Stop these questions.
Time: …*sigh* Okay, okay. I don't completely feel that way about Elec Man. He IS still family, after all, and he can be nice…but he's so vain and…perverted that it's really hard to cope with him. Not to mention I'm weak to his weapon.
From :
Man, things got quiet around here, didn't they?
Might as well help get you three out of this inactivity.
1. One thing has confused me for some time: How is Gutsman weak to Time Slow? It isn't even a real attack, yet he gets blasted like he was hit with a Charge Shot.
Time: Actually, I'm not even sure why my Time Slow is his weakness. Dr. Light designed the weapons, not me. I'll pass it on to him though, and hopefully he'll get back to us with the answer.
2. Hypothetical situation: You find Bass seriously injured on the ground. He's somehow become distraught and thinks he doesn't deserve to live. What do you do?
Rhythm: Well, considering Bass betrayed us once before that way…even then, if he's really, TRULY damaged, we would take him in. Treble too.
3. If you had your own support robot, like Rock has Rush, what would you want it to be?
Time: I think we answered the support bot question before, but seeing as this is a new story, we may as well answer again. I'd like to have a robotic cat, like Tango, only female and colored in purple and yellow. Her name would be Tempo.
Oil: I'd like a wolf, kinda like Treble, colored in red and black. I'd name him Fuel!
Rhythm: I'd actually want mine to be a snake. He'd be colored black and green and his name would be Samba.
4. Not a question, but I feel like should say this. Time, the fact that you slow down time is better than if you actually stopped it. The reason is, being slowed makes the opponent useless if they lose, as they feel like they could've still done something but didn't.
Time: *smiles* Well, that is true…hmph. Take that, Flash Man!
From ElecMan
Wow.
You guys sure have a lot of questions that haven't been answered.
So, just to contribute into the pile, I have a question for you all!
1. Why are there threats to me on here? I do not remember doing such things to you Timeman!
Time: Right, and I'm a DWN.
Oil: Uh, Time, I think he's tellin' the truth.
Time: Wait, then who-….I knew Copy Bot was up to something.
2. Have you guys been talking to a marshmallow? That's just making you look silly.
Oil: Uh, yeah, we have been talking to Marshmallow….
3. I'm taken so I wouldn't try to rape any of you. That would just hurt my relationship with- WAIT you guys don't need to know that! :)
Rhythm: You're taken? Who's the lucky guy or girl? C'mon, tell us!
Fun fact: Quickman's smileys look angry because of the boomerang on his head. :(
Time: …you're right. Quick Man smilies do look angry.
Aqua: And that's it for this session! Whew, so much catching up I had to do. But it's back on track, that's what matters! Updates from now on will likely be on Wednesdays and weekends. Until next time, farewell!
