there are some consequences to being a living machine in a convention full of nerds, it seems. there's a small crowd of people with varying interest in artificial intelligence and machinery, from those simply intrigued by the mechanical side, to those who want to profit off him, to those who love robots from seeing them in cool sci - fi media, to those who want to fuck him on the basis of being a robot, all surrounding him and asking questions.
his fans are whirring. this is a lot of stimuli at once. it doesn't help it's getting harder to actually answer any questions as audio interference from everyone else talking keeps him from understanding the questions clearly.
god fucking help him!
it takes some time for liam and zoe to find themselves at the airport, running around like headless chickens through terminals and crowds to finally spot the robot, standing patiently, the usual green smile glowing faintly and serenely. and of course, he waves!
"my friends, you are here! my scans indicate a higher level of perspiration, which would be a shame, as you are both looking quite fashionable! but do not worry, you have missed the flight! so you may take your time to dry your clothes." he says with so much confidence you could almost believe they were actually about to go to japan. but no, it doesn't take long for his two friends to explain the situation between heavy gasps and rapid apologies.
and calculester goes quiet, screen flickering from a surprised emoticon to ellipses, then to a processing bar. this is taking a bit to digest... the plan to travel had seemed so set - in - stone in the moment, he had gladly added it to his internal calendar. but they really were never meant to go?
a few fans whir to life.
"i see! this does explain your curious absence for several hours as i waited here, but then, what shall i do with this ticket i bought? it would be a shame to let the money spent go to waste..."
then he spots a random person. he approaches, offering his ticket to japan to them, and doesn't explain as he drops it off in their hand and walks back to his friends.
"there! i have <DONATED IT> to someone who would find more use than i could, now! would it be possible for me to join you in this con, now?"
"hmm... it seems friend liam and friend zoe are nowhere to be seen..." where is calculester? well, a while ago, he was told of a possible trip to japan, one he would share with liam and zoe. these plans were scrapped to instead go to spooky con due to expenses or something...
... something calculester wasn't made privy to, now standing in the middle of the busy airport with a flight incoming to take him away to a whole other country.
"surely they would not choose to abandon me to fend for myself in a place i have never seen before? no, they must simply be late, or even lost. i will wait for them here!"
and after a lil bit of spring cleaning (blocking some accounts), im back on here as well!
"<PROCESSING....... CONUNDRUM SOLVED, CEASING FEAR PROTOCOL.>"
"i see! that is good to know, thank you, friend vicky!" ... aaaand he's back to normal, just like that. "if you would like to learn about how i function, i would be available to explain and let you see smaller, less sensitive parts of my body to satiate the curiousity you exhibit. with the threat of possibly being torn apart no longer present, i can understand the desire to learn, and can encourage this in safer environments for us both."
"do i have a say in whether or not i get disassembled? my circuitry and motors are very sensitive, please reconsider your desire to peek at something so intimate as how i function!" is this... fear? does he feel fear? is vicky wanting to take him apart making him feel fear???
"i would want to hear about bird facts!"

"oh!" he holds the little crabs he's been offered... lifting them up slowly, careful as to not hurt them. (he's already seen how easily they perish, after all!) and he looks up at the large monster before him. his bright CRT screen beams at her.
"thank you, friend ln'eta, for this lovely return gift! i did not expect you to remember when i had done the same for you, so this was a pleasant surprise! i will be sure to take good care of them!"
"as my fellow organics say, that is a 'relatable' statement. i do not think i could be considered horny --" could've fooled me. "-- however, i would like to enjoy the experience of intimacy with someone. sexually or otherwise."
^ susceptible to horrors (and to causing them)
smiles so very innocently!
thinks rly rly hard.
"i am sorry, friend miranda. music does not give me the same emotional response as i have studied in you organics, as i do not get emotional responses as is. it was only recently i understood how important is through research."
"... but i do hope to learn nonetheless! i may still only experience music as oscillating waveforms and other forms of sound waves, and my voice module may not have been created for song... but i am still doing what i can to update my software through experience so that i may understand how it is supposed to make one feel. perhaps music is the secret to feeling alive, after all! it is imperitive i learn!"
"isn't it? (i am asking hypothetically to prove i am agreeing. for i do, in fact, enjoy the song quite a bit as well.)" the bright green of the :D smile on his screen is like a giddy beacon, joy over a shared appreciation for the song.
"it is a wonderful song about love through hardship, something i had struggled with understanding, and admittedly, still find difficult. but difficulty makes it all the more important to endure! and there is something comforting with it being a song sung by the first computer to synthesize a song. the IBM 7094 is quite inspirational in that."
"i am not programmed to sing, nor to understand music, but i hope that this bridge will lead me to engage more comfortably in the topic and become more engaged in organic culture as a result."
he's just sitting by himself, playing music with his internal servos and motors, a new update installed from the cloud. it's rhythmic, following a 3/4 structure... a waltz. there isn't much for melody, more a percussive beat - one - two three, one - two three... but it was a start.
then, though the program used to simulate his voice is not created for shifts in tone, he does the best he can to sing along to his rhythm.
