Not when I'm moving, no. [ Just while lying on a boat in the middle of a lake tbh. Then quieter: ] I would have changed had I known.

[psycholawgy]

I didn't want to ruin the surprise. But I'm glad.

[ she already said it earlier!!! ]

[sortileges]

[ He gives her a smile. ]

I know, you did say. I just assumed Clonco didn't go outside, honestly.

[ Ah. ]

[psycholawgy]

He doesn't usually, but I made him go out earlier. I'll have to clean his wheels later.

[ it's better than cleaning the toilet, at least!! ]

[sortileges]

I take it that's why you don't do it often?

[ Definitely better than cleaning the toilet, true! ]

[psycholawgy]

It's not like he has a reason to go outside.

[ and she wouldn't know what to do if clonco ever started malfunctioning because of outside elements!! ]

[sortileges]

What does he usually do?

[ Yeah it's best he stays home and just helps out there tbh... what a cute robot. ]

[psycholawgy]

He was a tour guide back at home. For the museum at the space center.

Simon's sister made him, and it was mom who helped create his software. [ she looks up at him and smiles ] He can feel, you know? It's not everyday you meet robots with hearts.

[sortileges]

He does seem very intelligent. [ I mean Clonco led him all the way to the lake after all. ]

If only CERES gave us robots like Clonco instead.

[psycholawgy]

He's really smart! You can ask him about space if you like! [ and she kind of grew up with clonco. he can pretty much ask him anything about athena too. ]

And any smart robots from CERES would lead to disaster. Remember those robots that turned into clones? [ he probably wouldn't forget. one kidnapped her after all. ] Those were terrible.

[sortileges]

I'll try that next time then so my walk isn't so quiet. [ He gives her hand a squeeze. ] And I more meant because he just always seems to happy. Of course I wouldn't want more like the last lot they sent us.

[ NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE. fuck you mosley tbh ]

[psycholawgy]

Try talking to him some more. He's gotten lonely since Simon's sister disappeared. He called her "Mama Aura", so he felt like he lost his family then.

[ and while they're talking about robots... ]

Have you ever wanted a CyBuddy?

[sortileges]

I will, then. [ Not that he really knows much about Simon's sister, but Clonco is a good robot. ]

Not really. Shigeru got one, that's more than enough. I don't think I'm ready for more technology when I still struggle with the device they gave us.

[psycholawgy]

[ he doesn't need to know about aura and how antagonising and scary she is... ]

You've gotten better at texting. You still need to fix your voicemail, though.

[sortileges]

[ He doesn't, this is true. ]

My voicemail? What voicemail?

[ HE DOESN'T REMEMBER....... ]

[psycholawgy]

It's what people hear when they try to call you but can't reach you, silly. I told you about it the first time I called you, and you said someone gave you instructions.

[ if she had a free hand right now, she'd call him to have him hear it tbh ]

[sortileges]

[ Ah... right. ]

Caroline told me how to set it up. I don't really remember what she said anymore though.

[ But he does go a little quiet now. Caroline was actually one of his first friends here, after all, and disappeared pretty quickly. He just.......... hasn't ever spoken about it. Of course :) ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she cants her head to the side before she walks ahead of him so she can look at him properly. ]

What's wrong?

[sortileges]

[ He shakes his head slightly. ]

It doesn't matter. They just aren't here anymore. [ shrugs. ] We're almost back.

[psycholawgy]

She was nice. She helped me when I was feeling troubled.

[ and was really friendly about it, too. ]

[sortileges]

[ She really was friendly. :( He could add more on though, but instead he chooses not to talk about it. Caroline actually saved his life when he took one of the potions left on the table, she didn't have to as the door opened anyway, but she did. And just. She was special. She understood, that's why it was harder for her to go and why he just never talked about it. Even now he isn't going into details, just gives her a half smile. ]

That doesn't surprise me.

[psycholawgy]

[ if he doesn't want to talk about it, then she won't force him to talk. by now, they've probably entered their building anyway. ]

Almost there to see your infamous hat!

[ athena you just heard about it today ]

[sortileges]

[ They probably have! He immediately heads for the elevator, letting the button press itself in so he doesn't have to let go of her or the parts he's holding. ]

Almost.

[ He's a lot less enthusiastic though. :( ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she looks up at him and shakes his arm to try and get him to cheer up. :( ]

Smile?

[sortileges]

[ dskjgndsg His arm definitely shakes and he gives her a confused look... which in his case is at least a half smile as he lets a tiny laugh bubble up. ]

What are you doing?
