Yep. There's no real plot as-of-yet, I'll just see where things go, I guess. The major setting for this is (assuming it still exists) the bustling metropolis that is RPM City, though I myself will be starting at my fortress. You can either be in the city at the start, or start somewhere else and make your way there for whatever reason. Interaction is key, people. Oh, and to avoid further confusion between characters, my trusty sidekick Robo-Sakura will from now on be referred to as Zakura. You may notice that my RP is slightly different from what I've previously demonstrated, please just roll with it. And with that, bring on the madness!

Life in space can be rather dull. Life in space is even more dull when you're a robot and don't have the luxury of real sleep to while away the long, boring hours that intersperse events of any real interest.
Deep in the recesses of the Ruined Wily Star, two dim yellow lights flickered back into life. Robo-Ky gave the robotic equivalent of a yawn and stood up, his servos whining in protest as the reboot completed and his throne folded back into the compartment on his back. Blinking twice as he regained his bearings, he wandered out of his quarters and down the numerous flights of stairs that had been installed for no good reason to where the central control room/living quarters were set up.
As the door slid open, Zakura glanced over the back of the couch, and upon registering who it was, grinned.
"Morning, sleepy-head. So tell me, DO you dream of electric sheep?"
The bottom corners of Ky's mouth dimmed, the closest he could get to a smile, and he gave an amused snort. "I don't dream of anything. Shutdown leaves me a lifeless husk. It's sad but it's true"
"Yeah.....whatever. You seen the news?"
Sauntering over to the fridge and retrieving a can of coolant, Ky sat next to Zakura and gave her what would have passed for a raised eyebrow if he'd possessed such capabilities. "How could I have seen the news if I've been offline for the past 18 hours?"
Sighing, she pressed the Rewind button on the remote and the images on the screen performed a mad, backwards dance until they stopped on a stern faced old man sat at a news desk.
"Our top story today. The body of Kevin Keene has been discovered in the middle of the RPM Plaza. Details are sketchy, but Keene, known to people around the world as Captain N: The Game Master, is believed to have been killed by a single stab-wound and severe electrical burns. Police are currently investigating...."
Zakura grinned again and raised her hand. Returning the intended high-five, and "grinning" just as widely, Ky laughed. "So, they finally found him, hm? Took 'em long enough."
"Well, they found him. Very classy, if I do say so myself. So, what plans do you have for today?"
Ky shrugged. "I 'unno. Suppose I'll leave the COM Channels open and see what happens. Any objections?"
"Nope"
"Perfect"
And far beneath them, the planet of RPM continued to spin, while the lives of the countless people on its surface continued, and the threads of fate found new and interesting ways to interweave them......
