... there's these things called Vocaloids. They're basically cyborgs made for one real purpose: to perform. Sing, dance, play instruments. They're idols, only... without the need to wait for some one to get old enough to be one, or get a new one when that one gets too old. 'cause, yehknow. Cyborgs don't age.
Well, only one company was making them. Which was fine. Cause they made them right. Well another company decided 'we want in on this' and tried to steal their secrets and make their own. But they didn't get everything right. And... that's how Neru and I came along. I can't sing very well. I couldn't hardly dance, and I'd never even picked up an instrument before. Of course I was built, so I didn't know I was wrong until the original company sued the one that made us for everything they were worth. We were left homeless.
And... the original company did eventually take us in out of pity, but for a while it was really scary. All the Vocaloids are kind of... dependent on one another to a certain extent. We can fix each other if something goes wrong, and other things too. Neru tried to leave and go on her own a couple of times... and we both started having issues shortly after. Weird glitches, errors... things like that.
So the other company took us, but not all the other Vocaloids accepted us. The twins were okay with it, and the two other older ones liked having me around as a secondary babysitter of sorts, but Luka and Gaku never talk to me, and Miku is far too nice to ever really say it out loud, but she flaunts it a bit, that I'm basically her copy. I learned some other skills... still can't sing very well, but it hasn't been all bad.
I just... don't always feel like I fit in unless I'm with Rin and Len or Neru... and now that I don't have any of them...
