[Morning routines had gone reasonably well, considering there was a first time for... everything. But now it was time to get down to business, and it was important. Kitt picked up the journal, eyeing it dubiously before flipping it open and beginning to speak]

I suppose this thing is working. [He clears his throat] So. Yes. I have a question. Perhaps several.

How, exactly, do you humans cope with sleeping? What a horrifying experience. Absolutely awful. The loss of environmental awareness, the exposure and vulnerability of being offlined - and you do this on a daily basis! Voluntarily, sometimes! And I'm led to believe that some of you might actually enjoy such a thing? I can scarcely believe it. It may be necessary, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

[A pause, and the sound of pacing]

While I have your attention, can anyone tell me how to get out of here and get back home? Any suggestions would be helpful. This experiment has gone on for long enough, and I'm quite ready to return to my normal form now.

Not to mention that it would defeat the purpose of trying to avoid gore.

Room 601. I'll see you soon? I've only just gotten here so I don't know where a lot of things are yet.

[psych0p0mps]

ok ill be there in a second

[and she is not kidding about that! thanks to time powers, she is there in approximately ten seconds. granted, she is currently on a loss that makes her four inches tall, but not much she can do about that part. she takes a hammer out of her sylladex and knocks on the door with it (a little louder than she means to).

so yeah tiny alien fairy and a hammer that appears to be flying on its own power haha...]

[knight_2000]

[He opens the door, not quite sure what to expect, but what he sees is probably the very last thing that would have occurred to him. It takes him a second of looking at her, utterly perplexed, before he breaks out into what may possibly have been the widest smile he's had yet. That is so... what is the best word for it? Cool]

Hello.

phooooo going to work is fun /flops

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia grins back, and pops the hammer back into her sylladex.]

Hello! My name's Aradia. Sorry about the dent, it'll fix itself. [Referring to the slight hammer mark in the door, which is... probably already fixing itself dsklaf;j. She also extends a hand to him, though it's really only big enough to shake his finger.]

WORKBLEAH. That's my response and I'm sticking to it!

[knight_2000]

Oh. Okay. That's good to know. Self-repairing doors. Clever, that.

[He extends his index finger towards her carefully, taking care not to hurt her, shaking her hand]

Kitt. It's very nice to meet you, Aradia. What a lovely name. It sort of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Well, now that I have a tongue. Ah. [Have an embarrassed look, Aradia]

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia laughs a bit at that.]

Haha, thanks. Kitt's not a bad name either! So - I'm curious. What were you before you became a human? [I mean EVIDENTLY SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T SLEEP OR LICK THINGS, but besides that.]

[knight_2000]

Thank you. It's an acronym, actually, but it suits me like this too, I think. [He shrugged, starting to get used to this question]

A car.

[psych0p0mps]

A car??

[Not unpleasantly surprised, but it certainly wasn't what she expected.]

[knight_2000]

An artificial intelligence housed within the body of an automobile, if it helps to think of it that way.

[psych0p0mps]

Oh! So sort of a robot car.

[knight_2000]

Yes, exactly! [He smiles, pleased now]

[psych0p0mps]

That's pretty cool. I was a robot once. Or - twice, actually. [Buuuuut she was kind of a terrible mean robot. OH WELL WHATEVER. She flits over to a table and indicates a clear spot on the surface.]

Is this a good place to put it? [The recuperacoon, that is.]
