is the place that doubles as an arcade seriously the only bar in town? where do you people go to get plastered and make bad decisions?

[cactusy]

the answers have been even more disheartening than I thought they would be, and that's saying a lot.

[crimsonsphere]

That's a real shame.

I haven't been to the arcade yet. What is it like there?

[she doesn't actually know what an arcade is and she's fishing]

[cactusy]

I haven't actually been there, but apparently all the arcade stuff is on a different floor. I guess that means everybody at the bar doesn't have to deal with too much beeping and clanging

[A response that may provoke more questions than it answers!]

[crimsonsphere]

[It sure does!]

Yeah, I don't think a place that's full of machinery would be great for sitting quietly and nursing a glass of something strong.

[cactusy]

not to mention every arcade I've ever seen has been full of rowdy teenage boys. no thanks.

[crimsonsphere]

[God. A bar full of Brothers. He's bad enough being over 20, imagine him ten years younger.]

Ugh. It's hard enough to deal with them when it's your job.

I haven't been here long but I wouldn't put it past Aurora to have a bunch of robots pretending to act like that, for the atmosphere.

[cactusy]

does anything happen if you mess with the robots? I haven't tried yet

[crimsonsphere]

Yeah, I don't know if that's such a good idea.

Too many of them seem to have an actual personality.

[By which she technically means "I have met two robots who act like whole people" but that's two too many for her to be comfortable just messing around in their heads for the sake of curiosity.]

[cactusy]

[Well, fuck.]

were they open about being robots, or were they pretending?

[crimsonsphere]

They were definitely robots. One was that tailor robot who wanted to give everyone a new outfit [she loved her new victoriana goth outfit she still has it shhhh] and the other is someone Aurora brought here, one of us.

[...Who was actually really blazé about the fact that he was a custom-built sentient being who could be modified at will by his creators but Paine doesn't have to agree with him about it.]

[cactusy]

oh, those two. even I've met them

[If you count solidly dodging the tailor's efforts to be "meeting" someone, sure.]

does weird fashion taste and being perky Wikipedia count as having a personality now?
