detroit's where you're from right?

[ dumb question. of course it's where she's from. ]

sounds like a crazy place
can't imagine somewhere that's filled with all bad all the time
makes me wonder if it's like this one place back home
never been there myself tho

anyway i'm glad you're here
you're super cool to spend time with

[chores]

mm-- detroit was literally everything for me
but i live in another country with my family, one that's a little more understanding

( it is was a crazy place though apparently getting better. a part of her wants to ask about the place he mentions but the louder part of her wants to avoid any depressing talks... )

i'm glad you think so
i'm still learning a lot so sometimes i worry i come off
um
weird, i guess

[burstmodes]

that's all that matters right?
as long as you're happy where you are

[ he's a big believer in that. especially since he technically lost his home but the people he'd cared about were still around and safe. ]

haha i think that's the charm about everyone
you can be weird and it doesn't matter
without weird it's kinda boring you know?

[chores]

yeah, i suppose it's what matters in the end

( never mind she doesn't quite know what it's like to be happy where she is but she's happy with luther and alice. in the end, kara supposes that's what matters too. )

i suppose it could be a pretty boring if everyone was the same
i KNOW it can be boring since androids are usually all programmed to behave the same
even though understanding all this can be hard
but i think i'm having a lot of fun learning

[burstmodes]

yeah i think so
like home is where the heart is and all that ☺

that sounds crazy
but kind of interesting at the same time?
it's important to have fun tho
if you ever wanna ask me anything feel free
i'm like an open book

[ sort of. but he definitely wears his heart on his sleeve. ]

[chores]

and my heart is with alice so as long as she's happy, i'm happy too

( her daughter really is everything, okay. )

of course, you've already been so kind to me
and if you have questions for me then i'll happily answer them
i just wish i could do something for you
you know, as thanks for your all your help

[burstmodes]

who's alice??

[ he doesn't think he's heard her mention alice before, so he hopes it's not an invasive question. ]

oh uh
you don't have to do anything for me
i totally don't mind helping out when i can
it's not like i'm expecting anything

[chores]

alice has become something like a daughter to me
she's the reason i broke my original programming

i'd never think you'd expect something
but it's something i want to do
something i'd like to do
i've got to keep myself busy, you know

[burstmodes]

oooh i get it
she sounds really sweet
maybe i'll meet her one day
but uh not here
idk if this place would be good for stuff like that

[ for obvious reasons. ]

well uh hmmm
there's plenty to do around here
anything you're interested in doing?
maybe we could do that or try something new again

[chores]

i wish you could meet you her
i think she'd like you a lot and she doesn't laugh nearly enough
but definitely not here, i wouldn't be able to stand it
not if alice was here in a place like this

( because yes, there is good here but at its core there is something rotten. terrible. she would fight everything in her power if alice ever appeared here. )

well, i could always use help picking out new clothes
i'm pretty clueless
and i could make you something to eat in thanks
i don't eat myself but i know waaay too many recipes to not do anything
