[Feel free to use this as a catch-all for whatever your character might conceivably be doing here. Are they loitering outside? Delivering supplies/food? Helping improve the place because god it certainly needs it? Cooking? Socializing? Eating? Just wanting to booze it up? GO WILD.]

[There are nominal rules but if you don't get caught you don't have to deal with them, so you do you.]

Comments

(Legion examines Ginko curiously in turn.)

Negative.

(Their voice is very mechanical; unsurprising considering they're a robot. A robot that has no need of food or drink.)

[onegreeneye]

[That's... interesting. Particularly given that Ginko, though he's familiar with the idea of robots, has never met one who wasn't currently... well, turned into a human. Or a plant person. Either way, organic.]

Just here for the company, then? [It's halfway a joke, since they do seem to be observing more than socializing, but... he figures that could still be considered 'company', right?]

[forwearemany]

Examining organics yields valuable data.

(Yes? No? It's an accurate answer, but not a useful one.)

[onegreeneye]

Yeah? [Makes sense, he guesses... and he'll take that to mean they're mostly just people-watching.

That will not, however, stop him from hanging around and asking more questions.] What kind of data?

[forwearemany]

Appropriate behaviors. Nonverbal language. Individual preferences and personalities.

(People watching is useful for a robot who doesn't entirely understand them.)

[onegreeneye]

Ah, right - that kind of stuff can take some time to get down. [He's not even joking, as far as he knows appropriate social interaction is basically a mystery.] How's it been going so far?

[forwearemany]

We made allies. Prior to our arrival, they literally stabbed us in the back and abandoned our people to die.

(Not well.)

[onegreeneye]

...Ah.

[Yikes.]

I'm... sorry to hear that. But... things like that may have more to do with those people than what you had or hadn't managed to learn.

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(Keyword: may)

[onegreeneye]

...Right.

[Suddenly, Ginko is very aware of the possibility that he may have interrupted something he shouldn't have. Which... one would think he might figure out sooner, but here he is.]

Well-- I'll see you around, then. Good luck with the people-watching.
