shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

[Good! That they won´t mind I mean.]

-offended chittering. A new! must become big-

 

Scared is why you have swarm!! But Index isn't here so I'll protect you, mine won't mind!

[Nodnod.]

 

Swarming sounds really nice.

 

[The quietest chirp ever.] ...it is. It really is.

 

Do you ever get lonely?

 

-groompet-

[It IS!]

 

-Archive makes an experimental chirp at Sprocket. Her vox can make pretty much any noise. Oh no! What if that was offensive?-

 

[He nods, focusing a little too intently on grooming @Sprocket ]

[He does, however, chirp back on reflex-- a little lower and smoother, a time-to-relax chirp. He's in the middle of a petting pile, sue him.]

 

What does that sort of chirp mean?

 

The one you did was sort of... a question? Not a specific question, like if the raised tone at the end of a question had its own sound? And mine was kind of... "yes, I'm right here, no one's hurt or scared or worried, you don't need to be on guard."

 

-She repeats his kind of chirp.-

Did I get it right?

 

[He nods, still not looking at her. For all the good his optical input does anyway.]

 

S-sorry. Am I bothering you?

 

[Enthusiastic happychirp!!!] naww!

 

...No? I don't think it's you. I just... It's been a long time since I heard someone else make that sound?

 

It... sounds like an interesting language to learn, if you don't mind me saying.

 

It is! It's... a little harder to explain than the actual-words language though?

 

So it's not strung together like sentences? Although I'd argue the chirps are still words.

-She calmchirps at him.-

 

[!!!!!] You want to learn bug?

 

Yes! Why so surprised?
