[ It felt oddly comforting to him. ] How's the, uh...the thing. [ Jet Man leans forward slightly, trying to see the progress Matt was making. ]

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Well, uh...thanks for the vote of confidence in me, I guess. [ ...Not often he gets this sort of thing. People wishing him well on his goals. Or...hell, even being called just a "dude". Jet Man was a machine, but to be called a person was strange. ]

Being shot down from the ground...it feels like an insult.

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

For warriors, pride in one's abilities is paramount. And especially for machines like me... I can't stand being seen as inferior to older robots of my line. I was made to rule the skies. If I can't do that, then what does it matter? [ ...Surprisingly existential, this guy. ]

|| MKII also does a really cool thing I like and gives him a Mono-Optic.......he looks so awesome here.

|| I'm like the exact opposite when it comes to vile in that I think the mask makes him hotter.

|| alright so let's get this out of the way, here. Surely you see the vision.

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

|| so this is gonna go awful.

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

[ Him letting go of his pride would fix a lot of this issue. ] ...You must think I'm some insane robot, don't you. Doing all of this for my pride. Well, I'll have you know I feel very sane about all this.

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It's not "for no reason". I...guess it's pride, at the end of the day. [ That tracks. Pride has been the sole reason this has gone on for so long. He wants to be an indomitable ace. Untouchable in the skies. Master of the wind itself. Tametomo was a threat to his pride. ]

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Minor scuffles were the most it's ever been with him. If it escalated, then one of them could be in trouble. That's not really something Jet Man wants to risk. Doing a little damage between them both is fine. ] [ Besides, Tametomo looks like he could tank a missile volley or two. ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

He told me himself he wouldn't be able to dodge my missiles as effectively. Then again, those past two incidents haven't really been "fights". ...Don't know how I'd fare in a real battle against him really. Not sure I want to know. [ Or even, really "fight" him, for that matter. ]

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'm not through with him yet. Not until the score's settled.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

...No. I need it. I need it so I can learn. [ He could very well just drop this matter completely, but he's prideful. Jet Man doesn't want to run away from a challenge, and Tametomo is a difficult challenge in both trying to best and, well....trying to be composed when talking to him. ]

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Should have never let him shoot me down with those arrows. I could have dodged them. I / could / have. It's so stupid..! I'm an ace, dammit!

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Clearly. Every time I talk to him, he ends up pissing me off. [ It's Jet Man's fault, really. He mocks his archery, gets embarrassed, and now it's one embarrassment after the other. And every time he tries to put himself above Tametomo, it plays out horribly. ]

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Unfortunately this means exposing Jet Man's bald head. Wily didn't program him with any facial features either, except those eyes. ] [ He feels...extraordinarily naked without that head piece. He then hands it to Matt. ] Hurry up, this feels wrong.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Nope. There's a mechanism involved, and since Jet Man is still alive, he can do it himself. ] ...hang on. [ He puts his hands on the top of his head, and an internal mechanism makes a clicking sound as it detaches. He then just...lifts it up off of his head. ]

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ It distressed him in more ways in one that he's made himself look like a fool in front of this archer twice. Especially given the fact that Tametomo was eye candy. That's doubly embarrassing. ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

...Yeah. [ ...He admit it?? ] First I challenged him to shoot me out of the sky from around a thousand meters up. He did that. Then I got angry at him and punched him in the face. The he hit me back.

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

By all means, take your time. [ He takes a seat somewhere and crosses one leg over the other. Arms crossed. ] [ What he really meant was, "please hurry up", but he's trying to be at least somewhat patient. ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT. [ He may have meant it like that. ] Tametomo struck me with his bow.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I could take him. Also he told me you could fix this. [ Pointing at his head. The point of it is sloping downwards. ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Good to know, then... [ ...He really should end up paying him back for both of the times he's been struck down in some form. It's only fair. But that'll be for when he's all repaired and ready to go. Not now. ] Alright. Take me to this person.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I mean it. If word gets out that I had to accept help from some other mechanic, I'm holding you responsible and I'll shoot missiles at you. [ Sort of an empty threat, knowing what Tametomo is capable of... ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Jet Man squints, he's thinking about it... ] [ ...maybe it would be a better idea. If he got repaired at Wily's base, the other DWNs might give him shit for getting damaged again. ] [ At least this way he can save face in front of them. ] ...fine. But don't tell anyone.

100

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ ...Jet Man eventually finds his way up. Damaged as he is, he's not fit to strike Tametomo a second time. ] I don't / need / your help. Wily will fix me. I'm not accepting help from you. [ There he goes with his pride again. When is he going to learn?? ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Jet Man needs a minute to recover from that. The front of his head seems to be...dented, and pointed downward. Now whenever he turns into a jet, the nose of the jet is gonna go down. ] ...fuck you.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ WHAM. ] [ The hit practically lays Jet Man out on the floor instantaneously. That was a pretty heavy blow. Jet Man's not built to dish out many physical blows, either. ] Urgh....💫 [ Who knew robots could be stunned? ]

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Squint. ] Hmph. You asked for it. [ Clenching his fist, throwing a quick punch across Tametomo's face. Satisfying! ] How's THAT.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

You are REALLY insufferable, you know that? I should hit you.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

[ Jet Man furrows what would be considered his "brow" in irritation. But then he quite literally stands on the ground below him instead of hover above it with his boot thrusters like he usually does. ] [ Turns out he's at eye level with him. ] Are you happy.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

|| I think jet man is either close to or at around 8 feet tall which is kinda. kinda insane

010

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So? I do well on land, too. It's why I have / legs. / [ Gesturing to his legs for emphasis. ] Wily wouldn't give me legs if not to touch ground from time to time.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

What do you MEAN my frame is not ideal????

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

You are KIDDING yourself, stupid Archer. You're the one that keeps on wanting to talk to me. Admit it. You took one look at this majestic frame of mine and now you can't resist it.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

You totally were. I got to hand it to you, though. It's not often I come across someone as persistent as you. I mean, putting on a new look just for me?

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah, but you were really pushing it there.

000

JET MAN. @dogfightbot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Whew...afternoon. Much better afternoon.
