Tulip: Umm... N-Not really... I'm just umm... Normally I'm told to look umm... N-Never mind... *Tulip looked at the ground as her ears folded. Her blush remained there*

Tulip: Umm... N-Not really... I'm just umm... Normally I'm told to look umm... N-Never mind... *Tulip looked at the ground as her ears folded. Her blush remained there*

Clare stopped in the middle of the stairway. "... Told to look what?" she asked, lowering her ears a little.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Tulip didn't want to say it, but knew she couldn't avoid it* Tulip: ... Cute... And innocent... Whenever I got introduced to anyone new.... They'd take me by the paw or... Sometimes by the leash... 'Ask' me to blush... They didn't need to ask after the first few times the shocked me... *Tulip let go of Clare's paw and ran back up the stairs, headed for her room. A trail of tears were left behind her*

Clare stared for a second, feeling horrible, then ran after Tulip. "Tulip, wait!" she called out, following the fox back to her room.

*Tulip didn't stop running* Tulip: Just leaave me alone, ok!? *Tulip rushed inside her apartment and locked the door behind her, collapsing into a miserable mess right next to the door. Her sobbing was audible and she was powerless to stop painful memories from flooding her mind.*

Clare stopped before she slammed into the door, then sunk to her knees and leaned against it. I'm such an idiot...

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Tulip's sobbing continued on, but a bit of mumbling snuck through the door, in various female and male voices (separated by semicolons and in no particular order)* Tulip: ;Maintain that look, you look perfect;Eat it wench;Better rest up 1009, you've got a long day tomorrow;She's not responding how I want her too;She cost us a customer! Put her in the chair;How does that feel, huh? Does it hurt?!;Don't show it any remorse. It's only a robot. It'll never be a real fur;I think I'm gonna whip you a little more just for that comment;Fail us one more time 1009, one more time! Then you'll know what it'll feel like to be disassembled and deactivated...;

[Cifero Windtail]

Cifero checked the time. "... I'll meet you downstairs, Sierra," he said, quickly grabbing a kazoo and a rock accordion from the closet and hiding it with the wall panel again. "I think I left some people hanging..." With that, the crat slipped his knife into a hidden boot holster, shoved the kazoo into his pocket, picked up the accordion, and ran downstairs.




Clare closed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists, silently weeping as she heard Tulip's mumbling. Damn them, whoever they are... Damn them!

As Ulvus saw Cif running down the stairs, he thought that maybe it'd be best, if he got his guitar too, "if we're gonna practise now, I might as well go get my guitar", he said, going for the stairs.

*Gaia was still downstairs, now sitting on a couch* Gaia: My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure...

*Tulip's sobbing eventually came to a very sudden stop. Almost like he forced herself to stop. Her voice was that of Tulip now* Tulip: Of course sir... I promise it won't happen again.... *With that the door opened an there Tulip stood. Her face was stained with tear tracks but she maintained a straight face* Slavebot-1009 reporting for service.... *She looked down at Clare, awaiting an order*

Clare stared at Tulip, a feeling of sadness and dread spreading across her body. "... Tulip?" she asked, tentatively getting to her feet.


Cifero, looking very much like a girl now, walked into the living room and approached Gaia with a smile. "Hey there," 'she' said, setting down 'her' accordion and wiggling 'her' fingers in a wave.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Gaia looked over at Cif and her jaw dropped. What features of Cif 'she' still retained Gaia recognised but was surprised that 'she' was able to look so.... feminine. Gaia chuckled and stood, holding out a paw* Gaia: I'm sorry, have we met?


*Tulip didn't maintain eye contact with Clare* Tulip: I'm sorry for doing that... I promise it won't happen again so um... please don't be mad...

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

Ulvus walked up the stairs, and into his apartment, getting his guitar off it's stand. He went out, locked the door behind him, and went down the stairs, over to the others, where he put a foot onto the arm of the couch, tuning the guitar.

*Tulip didn't maintain eye contact with Clare* Tulip: I'm sorry for doing that... I promise it won't happen again so um... please don't be mad...

Cifero giggled and gently took Gaia's paw in both hands. "We just met earlier, dear," 'she' said, smiling widely. "Don't you recognize me?"


Clare stared at Tulip, then got down on one knee and tried to get Tulip to look into her eyes. "Tulip, what are you talking about?"

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Gaia: Of course I do! But, if we hadn't of, I would've believed you were actually a girl. Gosh... Anyway, really good gender bender costumes aside, I'm going to need some help getting my keyboard downstairs if we're going to practise. Ulvus is also going to have to hear the song and actually see the chords.

*Tulip looked right at Clare* Tulip: All my nerves are directly connected to my CPU which is directly connected to my SSD. Any sensory input I receive is automatically catalogued, and organised based on what emotion it's connected to. You could say it's like not being able to "un-feel" or "un-see" anything. When an emotional response to those memories is re-triggered, the memories automatically play back in order induce more of that emotion onto me, intensifying feeling of... in the case we just experience: pain and sadness. I'm terribly sorry that I reacted that way when all you wanted me to do was watch a movie with you... please don't get mad at me... *It wasn't easy to tell, but Tulip was definitely shaken. Scared even. After a few seconds she began trembling slightly*
