[Sorry Mr. Bean.]

See? That's what I thought! But I'm not really the best judge of this sort of thing.

[Ahem.]

How should I know what humans think leads to a good romantic match? Or what a "spark" feels like?

[gamboler]

[ Don't ask him... ]

Your guess is as good as mine, friend. Though as I hear it told, it's one of those things that when you know, you'll know.

[hexensabbat]

... Ugh. Those parameters are so vague.

No wonder this show's so popular! People must love debating what the most likely matches are. And the algorithm's hidden enough that almost anything can be argued for.

[gamboler]

Welcome to the whims of fickle human hearts.

[ They're all a bunch of hot meases, sorry, Ringo. ]

You're not able to, I don't know...hack into their algorithm and sneak a peek that might help us?

[hexensabbat]

[She laughs at that, amused.]

Think of my current situation as a supercomputer being shoved into a grandfather clock.

I've got tactile abilities now, and can talk with you guys, and can even kiss people! But the processing power is scaled waaaay back.

[gamboler]

[ Damn, the debuff of being human-shaped is real. Just wait until you wake up with a backache, Ringo. ]

Ah, well, it was worth a shot. That's being said, I'd say we wound up with the better deal, if it meant you got to join us.

[hexensabbat]

[ringo on that day]

Ha ha, wow! That was smooth!

Thanks! I feel the same way. I stopped missing the processing power awhile ago. It's fun to be closer to human, you know?

[gamboler]

[ How long will she feel that way? Still, she's so enthusiastic about it, it's infectious. ]

It's not so bad, is it? The little things, like taking a nap, feeling the wind in your hair, enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning...

[hexensabbat]

[She points at him.]

Yeah! Exactly! You get it!

Being your own self and getting to do all of that stuff is fun!

I'm gonna enjoy it for as long as I can!

[gamboler]

[ Genuine, a bit softer: ]

I hope that you can, Miss Ringo.

[hexensabbat]

Thanks!

[She grins at him a bit, nudging shoulders with him. It's nice to have people who get it, even if they're not AI like her.]

Any well wishes I should be giving you in return?

[gamboler]

[ Aventurine isn't so meta that he will look into the camera, but I am... ]

Mm, you could wish that I have a better cup of coffee tomorrow morning. Today's was a little burnt...

[hexensabbat]

Yeah?

[Huh.]

Try asking Edamura, then. I hear he makes a mean cup of coffee.
