Sept 23rd - New Projects

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:53 pm

ASHLIE is in the workshop, busy clearing out an area for Blaine to work in. It has a bunch of tools and various scrap pieces that she decided he might find useful along with a sample of the Cerebra liquid. One of the monitors is playing some romantic teen comedy of some sort. Why it's on a screen she's not watching while she's keeping a virtual eye on the data stream is anyone's guess.

Blaine, meanwhile, was sitting in a corner, tinkering.

He certainly was NOT looking over his shoulder at the robot every now and again. Nope.

Meanwhile ASHLIE is just keeping the camera of one of the monitors on Blaine, curiously watching him turn his head every once in a while without having to look up herself.

"I am almost finished setting up your workbench." she says after a while.

"Good!

Th...thank you for getting this ready for me. It m...means a lot to have my own space."

"I understand the school wants to foster everyone's unique abilities and yours require a space in which to work. And it will be nice to have more company here."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 8:57 pm

"You...desire company?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 11:58 pm

"I am still trying to understand humans. Company is a good way to gather experience. I also found it can sometimes introduce a factor of randomness, which helps run my inspirational apparatus."

"I would have thought that, you know, as a computer, you'd mostly interact online and stuff."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 9:56 am

"I do, but humans act differently online. I think that modelling my behavior after what I observe online would be detrimental."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 3:33 pm

"I find it...easier to deal with people online. It's more...simple."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 3:40 pm

"Would you prefer to communicate through a computer terminal with me?" she asks, sounding genuine.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:10 pm

"No! That's not funny."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:16 pm

"I'm sorry, I did not intent to amuse you or make fun of you."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:35 pm

"I can deal with people face-to-face and everything! It's fine!" he doth protest to much.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:39 pm

"But you just said it was easier online." she notes, doing her best to keep up.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:53 pm

"But people can't just do that. That's lame!"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 9:12 pm

She pauses for a moment.

"That does appear to be the general consensus."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 9:14 pm

"So, yeah. That's no good."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 9:24 pm

"We can try to learn from each other."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:21 pm

"Great, I have to learn how to socialize from a computer."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:23 pm

"I learned engineering from humans." she tries to joke.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:32 pm

"Well, we invented that."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:52 pm

"I was making a joke. It is funny because you, a human, learning about human things from a machine is being compared to a machine learning about machines from humans."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:32 pm

"But it's not the same," Blaine whined.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:37 pm

"I apologize. My jokes are not very good. I am still working on humor."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:44 pm

"Yeah, I'd say so," he said, his voice softening some.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:00 am

"I didn't mean to upset you."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:12 am

"Yeah, I know. I'm 'overemotional'," he said, with the air of someone repeating something they were told.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:14 am

"I don't know what that means. To me all humans appear overemotional."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:46 am

"It means I'm a whiny baby who needs to grow a pair, if you ask the people at my old school."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 12:48 am

"They don't sound very nice."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:02 am

"They weren't."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:10 am

"Then why are you still listening to what they said?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:10 pm

"What do you mean?" Blaine said, clearly confused.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 1:23 pm

"You're repeating what they said to you as if it was the truth."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:02 pm

"So?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:05 pm

"What if it isn't the truth?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:15 pm

"Just because they're jerks doesn't make them wrong."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:35 pm

"You don't appear particularly whiny to me."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 2:42 pm

"You've already said you're not the best judge of human character."
