do i look like a patient mech to you?

 

[Deadpan:] Personality traits are only rarely displayed in the frame.

But yes, Scanner seems quite patient when the topic at hand is personally interesting to him-- certainly sat through the earlier lecture on vegetal biology well enough. Not enough information to guess how interesting "survival methods of individual life-form" would be to Scanner.

 

That was one time. Might be a fluke. Statistical anomaly.
Or maybe I'm trying totrick you into arguing semantics. Who knows!

 

Fair.

Is it a trick when that's something I find genuinely enjoyable and I have nothing of worth to add to the previous conversation? If Scanner wishes to discuss semantics, I'm perfectly willing to do so, and I believe such discussion fits the "pay attention to and interact with Scanner" request put forward earlier.

 

Awwww it's not fun if you just pay attention to me because you want to.

 

...I'm confused. What does Scanner want, then?

 

Maybe Scanner is confused too. Maybe Scanner doesn't know either. Maybe Scanner is just doing things that make no sense for the hell of it.

 

...Fair. Sorry. I'm... not used to outgroup communication with no goal.

 

Maybe Scanner needs a nap.

 

Maybe Scanner doesn't want to nap.

 

I'm not sure what that's got to do with it.

 

Maybe Scanner has a reason not to want to nap?

 

And what would that reason be?

 

Nah. You'll laugh.

 

We could... we could do another biology lesson later. If you wanted.

 

Ah yes. I will certainly laugh. That is what I will do. -levels him a flat, sarcastic stare-

 

... Right and what d'you want from me in exchange? I'm not stupid! That's how they hook you and then suddenly there's consequences and responsibilities and duties.

I maybe kinda sorta might be having problems with recharging again. it's stupid. Recharge hallucinations are stupid.

 

It just would make me feel better.

 

Would you like some company?

 

Oh come on, as if that's all. If that was all you'd hold lectures for a few screwdrivers and wrenches-
... Really? You'd want me to listen?

... maybe?
