[The first message comes through as all of Mewtwo's posts do, from his own laptop and so forth. It seems, however, that he is not the one typing at the moment, because this person can't spell nearly as well as he can: ]

[The second message comes much later, is much better written, and is also completely anonymous. It's just as obscure, though:]

Do you believe it is important for a child to have a "mother" and a "father"?

[ooc: please feel more than free to respond to both :D There is no IC evidence that they are connected, but I wanted to do both of 'em and didn't want to spam the comm.]

Cybertronians don't have mothers or fathers! But then we don't really have children either...

[A pause.]

But Frankie and Cody are children and neither of them has a mother and they're just fine!

You are created from 'sparks', yes? Which have not been forged in some time? [He knows a little bit about this! Maybe?] Do you have...family units, in any sense of the term?

I am not familiar with Frankie and Cody. Are they human?

[swivelrotors]

Yes! Well, no. I mean, not exactly. Your spark is who you are, and sparks come from the AllSpark! And... the Allspark stopped making people... because of the war I guess.

[This might get confusing real fast for anyone learning about Cybertronians, considering that they come from several different universes with different creation methods.]

My team is my family. And my friends. We all care about each other lots and we take care of each other.

And yep! Cody and Frankie are some of my human friends.

Option B, Text!

A family is about loving and taking care of each other. It doesn't matter how it's put together.

It is more important that a child is loved and cared for, then? The labels of those who love and care for them are not important?

Do you believe it is important for the child to be told that they are loved? In those words?

Non-anonymous, but still text

[purple_chelonian]

I don't think labels are ever important, unless they're the ones you give yourself.

And if you're embarassed or nervous about telling someone you love them, there's other ways to let them know.

I'm not really familiar with how that must be like. I know it's typical for organics to have a parental unit.

So I don't think it's important, but maybe a mentor of some kind would be nice.

[Billy first squints at the screen to make sure he's read the question right, then cocks his head and clasps his chin in thought. Looks like the kind of thing a kid might ask, he thinks. He likes kids.]

My favourite bug? Now that's a tough question! There's an awful lot of 'em to choose from.

[He thinks a little more on it, then smiles.]

I always did kinda like the dragonflies down by the creek, though.
