Definitely high up there on my worst experience list that's for sure.

[stoneup]

and ... how are you?

[It doesn't seem like 9S would just randomly message him with a check-in, but maybe he's wrong.]

[callmenines]

_{[He would do that, actually. This is your regularily scheduled contact, Trevor.]}

Trying to keep it together. Both my Operator and my field partner have been missing and A2 is out of commission for the time being...so it's just 6O and I.

I've a lot of tv to catch up on aha.

[stoneup]

and what does 'out of commission' entail, exactly?

it doesn't sound ... good

[callmenines]

She's unresponsive, in a power saving mode, if you will. I can't seem to snap her out of it.

I guess it would be similar to a coma in humans.

[stoneup]

that...seems...bad

are you okay?

[callmenines]

It's not great.

Not really. I can't order the type of cracker Pascal really likes online because it's not in stock and I can't buy things in person because of my social designation so I feel useless.

I just want to feed my roomba.

[stoneup]

[There are so many words there that he only really contextually understands...]

do you ... need me to buy you crackers?

would that help?

[callmenines]

Only if it isn't too much trouble. It has to be a specific brand because Pascal is stressed and only wants to eat that particular type.

It's my fault for programming him to be so ornery.

I'll pay you back.

[stoneup]

as long as you tell me whatever kind it is, i'm sure i can make them find it at the grocery store

there's got to be some perks to being in this stupid fucking society, right?

they're just crackers. you can ... i don't know, feed me something when i get there?

[callmenines]

It's these. goldfish crackers.jpg

Well, it's still better than where I came from.

Um, okay. I can try and find something. All the food in our fridge was rotten though when we came back so it'll have to be something from a box.

[stoneup]

oh ... right

well, maybe i'll order us pizza

[callmenines]

Really? Can we? You'd do that?

[stoneup]

yeah, i mean

i have to eat too anyway

we can figure it out when i get there, i'm at the store looking for crackers now

i showed the picture to the lady and she asked if it was for my child

[callmenines]

Well...they are a kid's snack.

Don't judge okay. They're pretty good, and they're shaped like fish. They're cute.

Androids like fish okay.

[stoneup]

hey, i wasn't judging

she found them, anyway

i shouldn't be long

[callmenines]

Thanks. Really. I mean it.

[stoneup]

...it's okay if there's crackers gone, right

like

ten crackers

[callmenines]

I told you they're good.

Better than the hot pepper chips.

[stoneup]

i still don't think the hot pepper chips were that bad

[callmenines]

If I was human I think they would've turned me into a ghost.

I think that's why they call them ghost peppers in the first place, for such a hot pepper. Think I could pass for a phantom? I'm pretty pale.

[stoneup]

i ... don't think that's why they're called that

but you probably could

if you wailed more

[callmenines]

A2 tells me I whine enough as it is.

[stoneup]

ok, but a wail is different

[callmenines]

I suppose that's true.
