Ichi's doing the thing where you treat your index and middle finger like legs and is walking them up Brutus' shoulder as she stands behind him. "Did you know there's an international boyfriend day? And it's today?" She's pressed up against him and kisses his cheek, smiling. "You do now, happy Boyfriend Day~"
"U-uh...n-n-no, i didn't...know that."
"Th-thanks, spitfire."
So Brutus, you obviously got the hang of human stuff at this point, but is there any sort of human ritual/culture thing that you can't wrap your head around?
"I don't know what humans quantify as a "Sip." Sometimes, it's a minuscule amount of a drink, and other times, it's half the beverage."
Favorite herb and/or spice. GO!!!!!!
"Oh...um...uh...Cinnamon!!"
"... Bru if you're having mechanical issues and don't want to bring them up to Fritz and Andrea, you know I'm your guy. I'd just love to run a diagnostic on you!"
Way to sound obsessive and deranged there, Crowley. But he does genuinely want to be able to help his friend and pshhhh getting a peak under the hood would just be a bonus 👀
@valiant-au-save-slot-a
“Oh! Thank you so much for the offer, but I d[01001111]n’t think there’s anything to check up on at the moment!”
That doesn't sound very healthy, Brutus.
"I understand the concern. But I really haven't noticed any...any...any...any...any...any...any negative side effects yet!"
PSA
"Hey, guys. Brutus the robot chef here.
"It's getting pretty crazy out there. And in these trying times, it's understandable that people are feeling overwhelmed by the current goings on in the world."
"Luckily, I have a solution for that."
"Just cordon off a section of your memory bank, store all those complicated feelings there, and wait to think about them until your next system update."
"That way, you can do all the processing at once!!"
Rachael squints as she tries to think of how big a petabyte is. That sounds bigger than a gigabyte.
"I gotta Google that real fast."
The result left her stunned.
"Hhholy he- and yew got 10 of those things?!" Never mind storage issues. He's covered!
“Yeah, but only three of those is processing power. The rest is just general storage. When you have a built in photographic memory I guess you need a bit of a backlog!”
“At least, that’s what the professor’s told me.”
Brutus pauses for a moment.
“Why, is that a lot?”
"Uh YEAH! That's, like, quadruple a normal laptop! Yew could literally store two lifetimes in yer head."
"Hhhhow long have yew been online again?" How many lifetimes does he already have saves up in that silver dome of his?
“Including my Trial and Testing phases? About 25 years.”
Brutus lets his answer hang in the air for a moment. His expression refusing to change as he elaborates.
“Though, I suppose if I my memory had been purged at any point during my creation I could be a great deal older.”
Another beat as Brutus considers the implications.
“That’d be weird.”
"Hey Brutus! Check out this shirt I won in a gachapon machine, ain't it cool?"
“Wh…I…um…I…it’s…neat?”
"BruBru, you also got erased!"
@splinter-sister
“Hmm? Oh, yeah! It was honestly my fault, the professors warned me about that sorta thing when hopping dimensions…but I sorta forgot until I…well…didn’t think anymore for a second!”
"Nothin' a Hard Restart couldn't fix!.... Right?"
“I suppose so? The bedrock of my personality is based on the mental patterns of my creators. And that’s pretty much hardware. So if I go through a reset the base’ll probably remain, but my experiences wouldn’t.”
Brutus rubs the back of his head once he realizes how lost he got in the specifics.
“But, it could be worse! If something like that ever happens it just gives me an excuse to…you know. Take another trip around my life I guess…heh.”
"We call that amnesia, buddy. Not th' best thing ta go through as a human. Buuuutt I guess as a robot it's not as bad. Dontcha back up yer memories or anything? It must get full in that head of yers!"
"How much storage do yew have, anyway?"
"Huh...I'm not sure, but I think the professors must have told me before. One sec!!
Brutus remains unnaturally still as he searches his backlog of memories.
"Ah, there it is!! um...about 10 petabytes!!"

☠- a near death experience.
(Can robots even die??)
“…I accidentally walked past a wall of Magnets in a department store in Ichi’s dimension and almost killed my hard drive…I’m not allowed to go to that store anymore.”
💲 ☮
Ooo. Okay, let’s take this one at a time.
💲: I think at this point Brutus’ overall dream would be to experience as much life as possible. Like, literally take a year or two to travel the world and learn as much about humanity as he can.
☮️: The obvious answer would be cooking. But honestly, just sharing any passion of his with the people around him is enough to put him at ease.
Send a symbol for my muse to talk about...
…💓 their crush/partner. … ☠- a near death experience. … 😳 one of their most embarrassing experiences. … 👀 their guilty pleasures. … 💲 their ambition. … 👿 a pet peeve. … 💬 a memory they wish to share. … 👍 their best friend. … ☹ something that scares them. … ☮ what makes them feel peaceful. … 🖋 their hobby.
Me and @brutus-the-robot-chef back at it again with another comic!
Script and lettering by him, art by me!
(Gnome hauling ass past Brutus, you can hear the smacking of his feets as he runs past.)
"W-W-WHU?" Brutus nervously looks around, hoping that someone else saw this. "W-W-WHERE?
"...I have so many questions."
