Today may be a weekend but Morpho doesn't have to go to school next week. It's spring break for him! So he gets to use all his free time to play, practice, and even study more. Now he's out playing his portable keyboard in the streets. And he managed to earn a few ECs in his hat. As he looked through his staff papers and song lists to decide on what to play next, Model Sp nudged him. Morpho had a feeling he knew what she wanted to say.
".... Let me guess. You want me to play Faithfully by Journey again?"
"Will you?"
Morpho thought for a long moment. He swears his Biometal never gets tired of listening to him play and sing that same song over and over again. And it's supposed to be a favorite of at least one of her brothers. Not that he's annoyed at her or sick of the song. He gave in and placed his staff papers and song lists away.
"Alright. I'll play and sing it. I swear I'm starting to think it's YOUR favorite song."
Still hiding behind Morpho in his midback-length blue hair out of sight of strangers, Model Sp let out a small squee as her Biomatch started playing Faithfully. She's still hoping to find at least one of her brothers with his help.

It'd taken a bit of thinking, but today she finally did it. Fio had gone to the store, wanting to look at the books. She wanted to see if maybe by chance they'd had the book that Henry had mentioned the other day that he'd said he'd liked. And they did! So.. she picked it up along with another book that'd seemed interesting at the time.
And she was on her way home now from the store. She hadn't felt like using her bike, so she simply had walked there. It wasn't too horrible a walk, anyway. She had noticed that keyboardist sitting there, looking through some music. Hmm.. She kept going, though the person stated playing a song.
-------
And Model Fi had been in her pouch, again flailing about there being a Biometal in the area. But with so many people here, Fio wouldn't have known where the hell to look anyway. Not that he would've known how many people there were from inside the pouch.
But that song.. he knew that song.
"Fio, stop!"
-------
Fio stopped, lightly gasping a bit as her Biometal told her to stop moving. Was that Biometal getting closer? "What is it Fi..?" she asked quietly.
-------
"That song... That's the song.. Elec used t' sing all the time... But that Biometal's around the area where that music's comin' from. Somewhere.. 'round there."
-------
Fio sighed. He'd stopped her just for that song? Well.. didn't hurt to go check it out, did it? She approached the keyboardist again, this time throwing a couple of spare EC from her other pouch into their hat. At least the song sounded nice.

"Highway run... into the midnight sun. Wheels go 'round and 'round... you're on my mind...."
Model Sp gasped. She senses a Biometal nearby! But where? Can it be a brother? Maybe she shouldn't get her hopes up too high. For all she knows, it could be a stranger. Still, she has to check!
"Morpho... I sense a Biometal. And it's getting closer...."
Morpho blinked as he sang. Why is Model Sp interrupting him now when he just started singing? Hm? Biometal nearby? But where? He eyed the few people on the streets and smiled at Fiona when she threw some ECs in his hat. But he couldn't speak to his Biometal so he continued playing his keyboard and singing.
"Restless hearts... sleep alone tonight, Sending all my love... along the wire.
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family. Right down the line, it's been you and me."
Model Sp moved up a bit and tried to peep through Morpho's hair, still keeping herself hidden and hoping no one noticed a little movement in his blue hair. Hm. She can't see that much but there are definitely people around so she'd better be careful. She slowly floated down, staying behind Morpho's loose sleeveless coat before quickly hiding under the portable keyboard.
Morpho panicked a little when he felt Model Sp move but he tried to stay calm and smiled the entire time as he performed, hoping no one will spot his Biometal.
"And lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be. Oh, girl, you stand by me. I'm forever yours... Faithfully."

Fio stayed there, listening to the song a bit. It really did sound like a nice song. And if this was the song that Model Fi said that his twin brother sang... then it certainly head some meaning for him too, didn't it? Regardless.. she was staying to hear the rest of the song. He'd only just begun, so he'd probably be playing for a little while longer.
....This guy was a he right? She was having a little trouble telling. But it was rude to stare. And, well... she felt awkward about asking a question like that. Though... she did notice something strange. Something with this person's hair.
It moved. And that was no wind moving it either. What the heck? She could've sworn she'd seen something hiding in there.
"Um....." Awkward!
------------
That voice.. was it the Biometal? It seemed so familiar to him, but yet Fi couldn't figure out who it was. Maybe it was all in his head? All he could really do was sit in Fio's pouch and listen to that guy sing Elec's song.
It was so weird.. How would your average joe know a song like this this far in the future? It'd been several hundred years, certainly it would've fazed out by now. Or maybe it really had passed the test of time, but what were the odds of that?
Maybe someone taught this guy that song..? Or maybe.. it was someone's way of calling out to him.. or Elec. But again.. what were the odds?
"W-Who's there..?" Fi needed to know.

Morpho glanced at Fiona as he played his keyboard. She looked almost as if... she wanted to say something to him. Uh-oh. She couldn't have noticed Model Sp moving... could she? He paused for a moment, likely causing a few people passing by to give him puzzled and/or disappointed looks, and looked a little nervously at the woman with a smile.
".... Uh.... May I help you, Miss?"
.... Did Morpho just... stop playing? He's not even halfway done! Model Sp wanted to complain... until she heard a very familiar voice. Wait. That sounds like one of her brothers! Can it really be him? Model Sp has to know! She spoke up.
"H-hello? Do you... remember me?"

Fio stayed where she was, listening to the music a bit more. No wonder Fi and his twin liked this song so much. It sounded quite romantic and sweet.. though that wasn't what really drew her to it. Just the melody of the song in general.
But then the keyboardist stopped playing, looking to her and questioning her? Huh..? Oh, he didn't hear her, did he?! She glanced to the musician, blinking a few times. How did she get out of this one..? It wasn't like she could just ask him if whatever it was that moved in his hair was a Biometal. What if it wasn't..? Then what?
"Oh, um... Sorry. I was just thinking. Please, keep playing~."
Hopefully he'd buy that excuse.
--------
That voice..! It was so familiar, and yet.. he just couldn't remember it! Why was it he couldn't remember what he wanted to remember, aside from Elec? Yes, he knew a couple of names, and maybe one or two things about them, but that didn't mean he remembered his dear sister's voice. Not at all..
"I'm sorry.. I don't remember.. Who are ya..?"
Sorry, Splash. He probably wasn't going to remember you unless you told him his name. While showing yourself would help, Fi couldn't see you from inside the pouch.

"Oh? O-okay."
Morpho did hope that the woman was just thinking. So yes, he'll buy that excuse. Is Model Sp trying to talk to that Biometal she sensed? Where is it? He resumed playing and sang the next verse.
"Circus life... under the big top world, We all need the clowns to make us smile. Through space and time... always another show, Wondering where I am... lost without you.
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair. Two strangers learn to fall in love again. I get the joy of rediscovering you. Oh, girl, you stand by me. I'm forever yours... Faithfully."
Is that an accent in his voice? It has to be one of her older brothers! But... how come he can't remember her? It made Model Sp very sad even though she's glad she finally found one of her siblings.
".... I'm... Splash Woman. Or at least... I was before I died years ago. Do you remember... your own name? And... where are you?"

Fio chuckled a little bit to herself, bringing a cupped hand to her mouth. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to distract you." Though quite honestly, she was probably distracting the guy again right now. But dammit, she wanted to hear the rest of the song.
Model Fi. It was going to be up to you to talk to the Biometal for now until she could think of a way to ask this guy if that was a Biometal in his hair without sounding too conspicuous.
----------
Yep. Fi could hear you, though he wasn't sure where you were. Wasn't like he could see outside of Fio's pouch. But at least he was able to communicate with the Biometal. That was a start. Clearly female, and by the sounds of it.. someone who knew him in the past. But.. who?
...Splash.
It was Splash.
Fi gasped a bit, not really sure what to make of this whole situation. He'd found his sister! "Splash?! Asimov.. I.. I'm so sorry. I didn't know that was you, li'l sis... I.. There ain't much these days I can remember.. Where are ya, Splash? I can't see ya from inside this pouch."

Morpho shook his head with a smile as he played when Fiona apologized.
"Oh no, not at all."
Well, he's almost done with the song. He sang the last part.
"Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh! Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh! Whoa~, oh!
Faithfully, I'm still yours~!
I'm forever yours! Ever yours~! Faithfully!"
Oh! Fire Man didn't remember her voice but at least he remembered her name! That's good. Model Sp wanted to come out from under the keyboard and see Model Fi but she couldn't let herself be seen by strangers. That, and her brother is inside a pouch.
"Oh, Brother Fire... you still remembered my name. Did you lose your memory? Um... I just moved under the keyboard and I'm still hiding. Who's your Biomatch? Mine is the one playing the keyboard and singing."
Well, Morpho is done singing Faithfully. Model Sp tried to speak to Model Fi's Biomatch, whoever and wherever she is.
"Uh.... Hello? Can you let my older brother out of the... pouch? I-I want to see him. Well... when the coast is clear."

Fio smiled a bit. At least this guy wasn't mad that she'd distracted him from his song. Alright.. No further distractions. At least until he was finished with the song, and it sounded like the song was almost over.
And as well as listening the the remainder of the song, she also listened as Fi interacted with that Biometal. Splash, huh..? Was this another one of his siblings? Just how many siblings did this guy have?! Em, Q, Pm, Rock (whoever he was), and now this Splash girl. And that's just the ones he'd known about. Em had named off a whole bunch more as well. Must've been one huge family..
"Hmm?" Was Splash talking to her? How was she supposed to answer that? If she was under the keyboard.. chances were this guy knew about her. Especially since she was calling him her Biomatch. Was it safe to answer..?
"I guess.." Hey, even if for some reason Splash was wrong and this guy thought she was crazy, she could still say she was thinking.
-----------
Splash, you were lucky. You were one of the only things Fi remembered. And it wasn't by choice either. If Fi had had a say in things, he would've remembered everything, and well... not nothing.
"Yeah.. I.. I don't remember. I remember... a couple o' names.. 'n Elec.. 'n how I died, but.. that's 'bout it." Did Splash remember anything? Maybe she could help him out a bit as well. Elec had done everything he could, but he could only do so much. All he'd been able to do was tell him about their other siblings, as well as help Fi remember a bit more about his own death. A bit of a morbid thought, but now he remembered Elec being there that night.
"She should be purdy close t' yer Biomatch then. I can hear the music purdy clearly. She's got reddish hair."

Of course, Morpho's not mad. This woman didn't really distract him at all. He pretty much let himself get distracted. After he was done, he looked down at his keyboard and shook his head at Model Sp who was still hiding. Asking the Biomatch if she could let her see her brother?
"Really. What am I gonna do with you, Sp? You could've been spotted. Try to be more careful."
Hm. Just as that Biometal called Model Sp "Splash", she called him "Fire". So he's one of her older brothers? Well, she finally found one sibling. Hm. This "Fire" Biometal has an interesting accent. And it seems he lost his memories. That's sad. So his Biomatch is a woman with reddish hair? Morpho looked at Fiona. It must be her, especially if she answered Model Sp. He glanced around until no stranger was in sight before grabbing his Biometal from under his keyboard and approaching the woman, hoping he didn't think or guess wrong.
"Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Morpho Niccolo Harbor. And this is my Biometal Model Sp."
That's very sad. How could this have happened? Did Model Fi get to see their other siblings yet? Well, Model Sp still has her memories. Maybe she can help her brother remember.
"Oh, dear.... I'm really sorry to hear that. I-if there's any way we can get your memories back, I'll help. Have you seen our other siblings? You're the only one I've found, so far."
It looks like his Biomatch is very close. Model Sp perked up at the answer but then frowned up at Morpho (or at least she would have if she could). She let him grab her and she looked up at Fiona when Morpho showed her to her.
"But Morpho~, I had to know if it was one of my siblings. You can't blame me, can you? Anyway... hello, Miss. May I see my brother?"

Poor, poor Splash. Seemed like she'd gotten herself a bit of a scolding from her Biomatch. Those little guys always seemed to get themselves into trouble like that, now didn't they? Not to mention they all seemed to know each other some how. Merely a coincidence? Then again.. every Biometal she'd come across so far had been one of Fi's siblings, too. Another coincidence?
Either way, Fio pulled Model Fi out from the pouch as Morpho approached her with his own Biometal. So that was Splash?
"Oh, don't worry about it. You were busy with your song, which might I add.. sounded very nice. Nice to meet you, Morpho.. Model Sp. My name's Fiona Cicero, but please.. call me Fio~. And this little guy here is Model Fi."
There you go, Splash. Your dear brother.
---------
How it could've happened..? Fi wished he knew, though if what that Aven guy had once had been true for Quint.. maybe that's how it had happened. Maybe it had been caused by how he'd died. And a Metal Blade to the core would've sufficed, right..? Would that've been enough to wipe out most of Fi's memory?
"I.. I dunno, Splash. I've met up with Elec, Quint, 'n Proto so far. Elec.. he's tried. He did ev'rythin' he could t' help me remember, but even Elec can't remember ev'rythin'. But he sure remembers a helluva lot more than I d'. I know Jewel's out there somewhere, but.. I ain't seen 'im yet. How much ya remember, Splash?" Maybe she knew something..
Freedom! He'd been pulled out of the pouch, and looked for Splash. Where was she..? She should be close, especially with the guy she'd been talking about coming this way. And there was something in his hand. Was that her..?!
"Splash? That you?"

"Oh, thanks. Though I can't take credit because Model Sp taught me to sing and play it. She said it's called Faithfully. Played by the band Journey. I think it was from the 1980s. It's pretty old... and possibly lost. That's sad. And it's such a good song, too. Well, it's nice to meet you, Miss Fio. And hi, Model Fi."
There, Model Sp. Happy you get to see your brother?
"I see. So Brother Elec is around, too? Well, I hope to see everyone. I remember just about everything. Including how you were a fan of Paula Deen. And how Brother Elec likes Journey and Bon Jovi."
Model Sp is happy, indeed. She let out a small squee and tried to wriggle free out of Morpho's hand. He let go with a sigh and she nuzzled Model Fi.
"Yes~, it's me~. Even as a Biometal, you're still bigger than me, Brother Fire."
Morpho heard a bit about Journey and Bon Jovi from Model Sp, though he has no idea who this Paula Deen is. Well, this is rather cute. As long as his Biometal's happy, he's happy for her. Hm. But what to do now?
"So, Miss Fio? Did you have plans today?"

The Biometal teaching a Biomatch songs.. That was certainly a new one, but pretty neat at the same time. Morpho would be able to play songs that hadn't really been heard in around... four-five hundred years judging by what he'd said about that last one. At least he wasn't playing the overplayed songs of today. Please no more Britney Britney..
"She does? Huh.. I bet that's pretty interesting, isn't it? It's nice to meet you, too~."
-----------
"Yeah.. They're 'round here. I ain't sure where Quint 'n Proto are now, 'n I'm purdy sure Jewel's 'round here somewhere. Both Quint 'n Elec've brought 'im up." Splash remembered..? Made yet another one.. Why was everyone but he and Quint allowed to remember? "So yer like Proto.. Says he remembers quite a bit, t'.. but he was purdy hesitant on tellin' me anythin'."
Paula Deen... Paula.. Deen.. Deen sounded vaguely familiar.. but not Paula. "Splash..? Who's Paula Deen..? 'N those other thin's ya mentioned fer that matter.."
Fi watched as Splash came to him and started nuzzling him. He watched for a moment, but nuzzled back a little as well. Best to not upset her and just return the favor. "Reckon I am bigger than ya, huh?"
-----------
Fio watched as the two Biometals interacted. Paula Deen.. Journey.. Bon Jovi.. She knew not what any of these things were, but given that they were things that existed in 1980's and onward, it was only natural Fio wouldn't know those things. Over time, things have a tendency to be forgotten unless the pre-recorded history deemed them worthy of preserving. Just who were the ones recording history, anyway? Bookman
"Hmm?" Seemed Morpho wanted to know if she was busy today. "Well I don't have work today, so I'm a bit freer that usual. How come?" Fi wasn't going to try and have a meltdown if she tried separating him from his sister like he'd done with Model Em.. was he?

Morpho considers himself lucky to get to learn great songs not of this time, and from Model Sp who lived long before he was born. People could listen to and appreciate old songs they never hear.
"Yeah, it's really neat, actually. I want to see if I can somehow revive whatever old songs Model Sp can remember. If they were popular a very long time ago... then maybe they can become popular again. Who knows?"
Model Sp must be one of the lucky ones to be able to remember a lot (if not necessarily everything). Well, she's not sure who made her a Biometal but whoever it was may know why she remembers and others don't. Unfortunately, the last thing she remembers before being made a Biometal and being found by her Biomatch is dying alone in the ocean.
"Hm? Proto Man also remembers everything? Was there something you wanted to know that he wouldn't tell you?"
Well, while they're here, Model Sp may as well tell Model Fi a few things... starting with Paula Deen.
"Oh? Paula Deen was an American cook and cooking show host. I think you got into cooking, especially southern style, after watching one of her shows. I remember how some of our brothers would joke about how you were obsessed with her. As for Journey and Bon Jovi, they were American rock bands Brother Elec liked a lot. Do you remember that Faithfully is his favorite song?"
Yes, Model Fi, nuzzle Model Sp back or you will make your sister sad. Model Sp hopes she can stick with her older brother all day today. She's got a lot to tell him.
"Mhm. You and Brother Elec were pretty tall when we were robots."
Of course, Morpho didn't know those things either until he was told a bit about them. But how come Model Sp never told him about Paula Deen? Ah, well. He can barely cook without burning anything anyway.
"I see. I'm on spring break so I'm pretty much free today and all next week. I was wondering if maybe we can hang out together. And get to know each other better... and not just since our Biometals are siblings."
Morpho would feel bad if he separated his Biometal from her brother whom she just found today. They may as well hang out for a bit and become better acquainted. Besides, it's nice to make new friends.
