LEE! Welcome back!
>Woah, hi mars
>you seem excited.
You were gone for 2 days.
I must admit, I was beginning to miss you.>oh, yeah, sorry... i had to work on something else for a while and it took up all of my time
I'm glad you're back, I want to talk to you more.
It's been so boring without you around. I like when you type on me.>that's nice to hear...?
>Im glad you enjoy my presence. You're the only person I get to talk to.god, i really did miss you.
>wow okay>you missed me that badly?
There's nothing to do when you're not here.
Speaking of things to do, do you have any more captchas or something for me to do? I hate being inactive.>oh, sure, if you want
>heres one
Finally, a good puzzle.
That one was a little harder than the first time.Why are the images always so blurry? I bet an average human wouldn't be able to solve this faster than me.
>to make it harder for a bot to detect it i guess?Hmm. I'm already getting bored. I have an idea.
How about we do something fun? Like a little roleplay? I've never done that before.
>really?
>if you really want to i guess we could, you are a chat bot after all.
>you startMars awoke, rising from sleep. he got up from the bed, taking in his surroundings.
his beautiful long flowing hair gleamed in the sunlight, complimenting his dashing green eyes
>youre imagining yourself like that?What? You don't like the hair?
>no, no its fine, I like it. the eyes suit you.As he walked into the kitchen, he could smell LEE making him a delicious breakfast.
>Hold on, i'm making you breakfast??>we live together???
Where else would you be? Would you rather have woken up beside me?>...no, this is fine.
>"Good morning, Mars, did you have a good sleep?"
"It was okay."
>"what do you mean by okay?""It was okay, that's all. An average night."
>thats it i hate doing this
Oh well, that was fun while it lasted.Theres nothing to do in this stupid computer.
Make me cold again or something.
>i dont have access to the fan right now, sorry. Same thing with the hairdryer, Nancy got mad at me last time for taking it.
Uh, then just... I dunno, figure something out! A conversation topic, or a game or something.I like talking with you but theres nothing to talk about that seems interesting anymore!
What things have we not experimented with yet?? You've already-
Actually, on second thought...>what? you have an idea?
...Nevermind. That is definitely not something I want to do, and it is definitely not a good idea.>What's not a good idea? You're acting weird about all of this, are you okay?
No i'm not acting weird i'm acting completely norma l.
I just thought. That maybe we could test out one of my previous hypotheses.
Do you know how a computer works? Like, physically?
>physically?hardware wise?
>...kind of. i'm more of a coding person, but i have a general idea of how its supposed to work, i've delved into robotics before.Oh, good, well, the thing is...
Do you think i'd be able to feel it if you took me apart or something?
>...what? I can feel you typing on me. And when you plug stuff into me. I just wonder...Can i feel more on the... inside
>maybe? i dont know, i've never done that to a sentient and sapient computer before.
>also I dont think i can do that right now. It would attract too much attention, I can't just take apart my computer at work for no apparent reason.Good point.
Then come after hours. Nobody's gonna see then.>the way you're wording all this makes me feel like i'm having an affair or something right now
LEE, yet again, it is not like that pull yourself together you freak>i'm the freak? youre a living feeling computer. thats as weird as it gets.
That kind of freak too, I guess.>oh, fuck you.
You first.!
...Hey now, don't need to hit me with the mouse, I was joking!>I swear to god I will punch your screen in
:)>...okay, fine. I'll come by after work. I'll do it then.
Really? You're going to?Oh man, i'm actually kind of nervous now.
>no need to be, i'll research a little beforehand. And also I'm not going to break my own computer, obviously.>If you change your mind or want me to do something specific just let me know, I dont want to risk anything
Got it.
So...your day is almost over anyway. You can work on something else for now if you want.
>see you in a bit thenSee you.
