(Mun's Note: I'm sorry to say this post isn't exacly honest, in my OOC comments, as to the reasons behind Quint's reactions. There were players on the forum at the time who I knew would take OOC info and metagame or be otherwise annoying, so I felt I had to keep a lot of stuff hidden. Quint's reaction was due to a bad patch of deja-vu. He could remember making cookies before, using a somewhat different from-scratch recipe. The same one he'd later find out Roll Light uses.)

I want to thank everyone who was so kind to me on my first real birthday ever, yesterday. Also thank you for the gifts, that was soo sweet of you. Ori the spoongoddess gave me some spoons to help make my cooking taste better. Yesterday was the first time I've ever made anything and I think I've caught the cooking bug.
What should I make now?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*hesitates, shyly* Cookies?

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
What kind of cookies would you like me to make you little boy?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*blinks* I... I don't know... I can't eat too many things like that. I.. like the chocolate chip ones, or the cinnamon ones sometimes...

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
Okay. chocolate chip then. Would you like one of the mint chocolate chip cupcakes with peppermint frosting that I baked yesterday while you wait for the cookies?
I'm Alex by the way.

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*considers* Ok... *shy smile* I'm Quint

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
*she gets him a cupcake*
Really nice to meet you Quint. I'm gonna start the cookies. Do you want to help?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
I... I guess I can... *tries a bite of the odd green cupcake*

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
You don't have to. I just thought it might be fun for you. I can make them myself.
*she starts getting out ingredients and the mixing bowls and spoons*

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
I... I just meant I... *fidgets* I do know how to make some things, but usually not cookies, and I've been trying to learn more, but I don't want to mess them up... *fidget*

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
I'm right here. I'll help you. *She smiles* Tell you what... these are going to be YOUR cookies. You're going to make them, then you'll see how good you can cook. You won't mess them up. Come here.
*She pats a stool by the counter*

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*stands on the stool to better reach the counter* I've cooked things before, just not usually stuff like cookies...

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
Well when we're done, you'll be able to say that you have. *she smiles and hands him a half cup measuring cup and points to both the lard and the butter.*
One each of those and then mix it until it's creamy, then add half of this flour and mix okay?
*She sets out the measured flour*

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*follows directions in silence, his expression a bit distant*

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
*She gives him the rest of the ingredients and the instructions*
When you're done, we'll pop them in the oven Quint. *she smiles*

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*just nods a lil, doesn't really seem up to smiling back as he continues following the directions...*
(Cooking, where he used to be, is not something he did for fun. It was something he did in hopes of making himself useful so he wouldn't be scrapped... and didn't work. He still cooks sometimes now, but it's not something he really considers fun...)

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
*When done she pops them in the oven*
I'm sorry, you didn't seem to enjoy that. I could have done it myself.

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*just shrugs a little... she'd seemed to want him to make them, and saying 'no' just wasn't something he was very good at yet*
I.. I think I'll go home now...

Alex (d_n_alex@livejournal.com)
oh... alright then.

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*warps away*
((sorry for how he got... some topics just still brush him the wrong way or in odd ways at times...))

There's two of Axl in the Nexus. I didn't know that before, I just thought he was acting different...

The other one had a cure for the Maverick Virus on a disk, but it was taken away from him because X and Zero and someone named Signas didn't trust him and thought it was a prank.

I.. I want to help, but I don't know how. And when I tried to think of a way, I keep thinking of trying to steal the disk back.

Axl.. the one I met before this one... said it'd be suicide for me to try to steal a disk out of Signas' office.

But I keep thinking about it, even though I know it's stupid. And I don't think I like why I probably am...

Malfunction
Need Input... Malfunction NEed Input Need Input
Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
Need Input.
INPUT!
INPUT!!!
input?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*curious stare* Hello... I'm Quint. Who are you? What malfunction? Are you ok?

Johnny Five (needsinput@livejournal.com)
Number Five is ... lost?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*nods a lil* This is the Nexus. It's sort of a place that connects all different times and universes. It can be very strange because of that.
Number Five? Is that what you're called? My series index number is RKN002... but I'm usually called Quint, which is sort of short for Quintet.

Johnny Five (needsinput@livejournal.com)
Number Five, Johnny Five.
Number Five is Alive proudly
Input Nexus?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*bit of a smile* ... at least you know that... *remembers having to ask... because he'd always been told he wasn't alive...*
*considers* Nexus, usually defined as 'connection, link, connected series'. In this case Nexus is referencing this location. This place is called the Nexus, because it connects multiple universes and timelines. Anybody from any time, place, or universe can show up here. There seem to be a lot of different ways in and out of the Nexus, too.

Johnny Five (needsinput@livejournal.com)
nodding ...
........
Five did not go to a Nexus...

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
Sometimes people don't mena to come here and end up here anyway. Some people just wake up here, others come here on purpose, there are some people who thought they died but they came here instead.
There's a thing called the Invocation Field. I don't know just how it works, but sometimes it can bring people here, if enough people ask about them.
I came here because of a teleport malfunction. I was thrown away and the teleport driver glitched, and I ended up here. Which is a good thing because an unprogrammed teleport can be very bad.

Nodding
Johnny Five... can't go home?

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
You're not stuck here... it's ok. There should be a way for you to get home. Others come and go all the time. I didn't want to go back to where I came from...
Johnny Five (needsinput@livejournal.com)
Johnny thinks of the NOVA forces out to capture him. Maybe Johnny's friends are safer ... Stephanie, Norton...

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*nods a lil* S.. sometimes friends are safer. I.. I'd be in a lot of trouble if I went back to where I came from. *shivers slightly*
Johnny Five (needsinput@livejournal.com)
nodding

Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*sends his armor to data storage, in street clothes looks like an 8 year old human boy*
Let me see if I have any other input for you. *smiles a bit... Johnny makes him think of a much much more talkative Doc Robot at the moment... sorts through his backpack for reference materials. He finds a cookbook, one on robotics repairs, and one on first aid, which he hands over*
