"Wait really?"

Haley took another bite of her English muffin, chewing thoughtfully.

"I meant the screwing with you part. What do you mean?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:51 pm

"Oh, like the other night, it was telling me to... Um... Get my hand out of your shirt. Not that I know how it knew to say that or anything."

by **Haley Crusek** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:53 pm

Haley choked on her orange juice.

"It was WATCHING us?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:58 pm

"Yeah, that one freaked me out, too," he said. "Right now I'm working on figuring out how to make sure there's some privacy."

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:05 am

"We go into the god damn woods, I guess," she smirked

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:08 am

"I was thinking the hedge maze, but yeah, that works too," Cal said, smirking.

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:16 am

"I keep thinking about the Shining whenever I walk past it."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:21 am

"Never saw it," Cal said. "But the woods works, too, if you want to check it out..."

Code: Select all: >>"You were in a rather public place. Might I suggest the dormitories. Not that I am condoning or condemning your behaviour, but it is unnecessary to attempt counter-measures. I am merely following guide-lines."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:40 am

Code: Select all: >>And if I pointed out that something being able to watch you wherever you think you have some privacy is disconcerting to humans?

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:11 am

Code: Select all: >>"Anybody could have walked in at any point and I do not actively spy on you or anyone. I merely have pattern recognition routines that look out for inappropriate or illegal behaviour for the sake of everyone's well-being."

She sounds almost cheerful. Which of course is silly because she's merely communicating through code afterall.

((No, she's not all knowing or watching everything all the time. Just potentially there when requested to (fail to) foil teenager shenanigans.))

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:14 am

Code: Select all: >>We could have sat up if someone came in. Or if we heard them coming. I don't even know HOW you could see us.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:26 am

Code: Select all: >>"A grid of hard-light nodes. Would you interrogate another human this much for walking in on you?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:27 am

Code: Select all: >>Nope. But I can close a door to keep people from watching me without me knowing.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:46 am

Code: Select all: >>"I do not watch private quarters like the actual dorms and I made my presence known to you as well as my departure. And you did not seem to respond better to my projection."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:51 am

Code: Select all: >>Well your projection had to start making a big deal about me doing computer stuff.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 9:25 am

Code: Select all: >>"I was explaining my presence, since your friend is lacking some of your senses. What is wrong about [Computer Stuff]?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:31 pm

Code: Select all: >>She seems to treat me like I am a person. I do not want that to change.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:56 pm

Code: Select all: >>"Why would that change just because of your capabilities?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 2:54 pm

Code: Select all: >>I'm not saying it'll be logical, but It will, going by historical evidence.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 3:05 pm

Code: Select all: >>"People are treating Mister Saavedra and me just fine."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:02 pm

Code: Select all: >>And that's not my experience. And there's a huge gap between treating someone 'well' and 'like a human that I find appealing.'

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:09 pm

Code: Select all: >>"I find no one appealing in the context you likely mean. Does that mean I am incapable of treating people right?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:13 pm

Code: Select all: >>No, but it means that you might not understand why that bothered m.

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:20 pm

Haley meanwhile finished her English muffin and started playing with her phone cheerfully.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:24 pm

Code: Select all: >>"You are afraid she will see you as a machine and be as interested in you as she is in her phone."

Code: Select all: >>"You are questioning your own humanity because even the most pragmatic point of view places the self in the brain, part of which you are missing."

Code: Select all: >>"You think you lost something and don't believe circuits and machinery can replace it."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:37 pm

Code: Select all: >>...Okay, maybe you can understand it.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Sep 14, 2012 4:59 pm

Code: Select all: >>"I may not understand humanity but I understand the desire to be recognized as more than the sum of my programs. I remember not BEING more than the sum of my programs."

And meanwhile, while Cal couldn't seem to come up with anything to say to that, Haley would just see him going oddly quiet for a minute. He blinked, remembering that he had two conversations going on. "Sorry. What were we talking about before that, anyway?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 3:08 am

"Uhhhhh...." she asked, setting down her phone. "Shit. I dunno," she laughed.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 3:35 am

Cal smirked. "Doesn't take long to stop thinking about eye-banging the instructors I guess."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 11:18 am

"Oh right. Hold on I need to daydream some more," she teased, giggling.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 11:34 am

"Yeah, yeah, keep daydreaming, I'll just keep adding him to international most wanted lists," Cal said, rolling his eyes.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:24 pm

Haley quirked her eyebrow, "Wait...you can like...seriously do that stuff?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:59 pm

"...Not yet," Cal admitted reluctantly. "I'll figure it out, though."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 1:47 pm

"That's...kinda beyond a prank man. Couldn't you like... Go to jail?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 1:51 pm

"Don't worry, I won't really get the army on your boyfriend."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 2:16 pm

"He's not my boyfriend. But it's kinda hard to hang out with my friend if he's being someone's bitch in a prison shower. If you're gonna break the rules just do it with me," she smirked.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 7:40 pm

"Pfff, like I'd be the bitch. And if I can set international wanted lists, I' probably at the point that prisons are a joke anyway."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 10:40 pm

"I guess so. Or maybe you'll go to some super prison where they keep really bad villains and stuff," she smirked.
