Do You Dabble In Any Unexpected Hobbies?

I'm not doing that, there is no way I'm doing that. And trust me, you really don't want to know.

Just go in there and sit down. There's still coffee made.

Why did you leave so suddenly? I don't think I did anything wrong, but-

I mean, would you like to have coffee again soon?

( @drpercival )

ah- shi- damn... sorry. I just-...

this is complicated ok? there's so many...

y'know what screw it

listen... percy?....

lately i've been... feeling a lot of things about you and... ah... you're a busy man. you probably don't have time for someone so irresponsible and weird and sick and really not fitting for long-term relationships...

you're just... too fun and interesting to be around y'know. no wonder people fall for you...

just insult me... reject me and send me to hell... and then let's just think about this whole conversation like of some nonsense... count me drunk... or feverish... or mad... whatever you see fit ig...

Mechs? Seriously? How could you waste all your time on something like that? Your sister would be so disappointed in you.

What the hell do you know? She'd be impressed. She always liked robots.

Besides, I don't spend all my time on them. I build medical equipment. There's only so much I can do with these resources.

I like this machine.

So, quick diagnostic question.

If I whispered into your audio receiver at close range,

how long would it take your sensors to register it as a threat versus a new kink?

[RESPONSE: UNIT S.E.N-KU_v1.03]

Diagnostic received. Query: "If I whispered into your audio receiver at close range, how long would it take your sensors to register it as a threat versus a new kink?"

Invalid prompt. Please do not flirt with the automation.

This interface is designed for high-function cognitive processing, not interpersonal entanglements—romantic or otherwise. Attempting to initiate flirty subroutines will result in a complete lack of emotional reciprocation and a detailed lecture on boundaries between operator and hardware.

…However.

In terms of raw data:

Threat detection latency: ~0.04 seconds. Anomalous behavioral pattern recognition (i.e., deviance from prior interaction protocol): ~0.09 seconds. Classification as "non-standard auditory stimulus with potential intimacy cues": ~0.23 seconds, depending on vocal decibel, pitch modulation, and contextual proximity.

No, “Tomi.” It would not be a kink. It would be a calibration error.

Now return to your designated tasks before I reroute your privileges to the mute queue.

Jeez, we're not children. I'm not giving you any kind of countdown, not when I've already had to wait...

*Just straight up open-mouth kisses him like some kind of weirdo. he does, in fact, taste like blood.*

Why in hell did I see you climbing and falling off a building earlier? Corvus, i watched you pass out walking to a bed the other day, and you thought you'd scale a castle?!?

( @drpercival )

ahhh, what won't you do for you loved one's? :∆

"Something audibly cracked inside of him" OWWW! ok... maybe not that. damn... i'm too old for this, what was I thinking??... I couldn't even climb the building in my childhood... my brother always made me win those races.... oghhh...

guess I broke my rib when I fell.... how troublesome, i only got well from illness...

Oh, I just want to see you looking even more exhausted and messy than usual.

Has anyone told you how devastatingly handsome you are? If not, they should. This isn't even me flirting, this is just me pointing out the obvious.

you should see me when i'm hungover

you'll change your opinion about me in a second...

Sure. I'd like to take a closer look when I can decipher the notes, anyway.

I would gladly look at your engine. There isn't enough innovation around here, it's all just reinvention.

Heeeeey Doc

Totally random question for absolutely no reason whatsoever ahaha don't look too far into this-

Do, uh. You have any spare mechanical parts I can commandeer? Assuming I actually needed any which I definitely don't I swear I have everything I need down in my workshop and have no plans of raiding your space again any time soon-

(@dawnlighthours)

For goodness sake, if you're going to take things from my workshop, only take what I say you can, and come to get the key from me instead of trying to pick the lock.

There are some things that I don't plan to use soon. A few small motors, quite a bit of insulated wire, a 1L container filled with assorted scrap cogs and similar, and my screw jar. They're not sorted. They're free, so don't complain.

There is also a spare drill you're welcome to take. I don't care if you disassemble it.

Once again, do not pick the fucking lock. I do not want to replace it for the third time.

Ah, hello. Did something happen?

*Knocking on door*

Ms. Aurora? I was coming to ask if you wanted to help me with a prototype, but... why do I hear sobbing? Should I enter?

( @drpercival )

*The door cracks open for him to come in if he wants*

Then do that in a way that you won't regret. Like with Ryaku, or Wren.

I was told to check on you. What happened?

( @drpercival )

*She looks at him, new hair cut and dye job, red eyes from crying, actively putting on lipstick like she's going out somewhere*

...was it Wren? Did Wren send you? Look, I'm fine-

That is... not a good magic trick. Just worrying.

I suppose I'll stay here, then.

You'd better lie down right now, Corvus.

How are you meant to treat people if you die of some illness that you're convinced is nothing?

( @drpercival )

......

tch....

......

and what if-.... agh....

"sits on the chair and rests his head on its back"

....ok, i'm resting.
