Hi...
I'm Passive Frown. PasFrown or PassiF for short..
I don't remember much, but I think I had some sort of life before now? "Life" in a very vague sense of the word.
They/them and it/its pronouns, please.
My head hurts...
[mod stuff under cut]
Hi Passive! :]
- @passivefrown-inc
Oh!! Pasfrown, hello.
How have you been lately?
…fine.
Oh.
Well, I was hoping we could just chat for a bit. Maybe go on a walk together, or something. Uhm. If you're not busy of course.
Oh! I wouldn’t mind that actually. Hold on, let me get my cane.
Ok! :]
Did you uh. Want to talk about anything in particular?
Hm? No, not really. I just. Want to get to know you, I guess.
Oh- okay. Well, I’m a Passive Inc. bot, I have a few siblings and had a mom- they used they/them by the way. I have a fish named Ranch, I work at a cash register and uh. I like dark blue, I guess.
*PasFrown quietly hummed along with what Passive was saying.*
Mm, I see. That's cool :]
What about you? I know a lot about uh. Who you used to be, but what about now?
Oh! Well, uh. I'm also a bot, of course, though I'm from Passive Frown Inc. I have a sister, but that's it to my knowledge. I have a cat, actually, her name is Salsa. I stock shelves at the convenience store near my house. And uh. Despite being blue, I actually like the colour green.
Aww, that’s a cute name. Can I see her?
Sure!
*PasFrown gets their phone out and finds a photo of Salsa. The photo is of her curled up in a cat bed.*
This is a bit of an older picture. I don't take a lot of photos of her.
Aw! When did you get her?
I can't remember exactly when. I think it was shortly after everything happened, though.
Oh, alright. Uh… any other questions? Not sure what to ask you, sorry.
No need to apologize! Uhm... I can't think of anything else to ask, actually.
Oh. Well uh… how are you feeing today?
Not too bad. How about you?
I’m not really sure.
Hm? Do you mind if I ask why?

*PA caught up with Passive and crossed his arms*
You can't drink water, you'll get fried. What's going on with you and PasFrown.
- @passiveagressive-inc
nothing it’s fine everything is fine.
I don't believe that. I can hear you whirring, you're anxious. Something happened.
…
…
I lied I’m sorry I’m so sorry. I’m Bad.
No. No you're not. It's fine. Just. Tell me what happened.
PasFrown doesn’t remember anything. I didn’t tell you this is my fault.
Amnesia, huh...
Anyway. It isn't your fault. I can imagine learning that would be... hard. For you.
No I mean, everything. What if I’m the reason they left? Maybe they don’t remember anything because of me.
This sounds so awful I’m awful but I hate how it remembers more about PM than me. I’m jealous that’s bad I’m horrible.
You're not—ok. Listen. Just about everyone gets jealous, some point in their existence. You're not bad for feeling emotions.
…I wish I didn’t. PM is nice she doesn’t deserve it.
It's fair that you feel like that. I can... relate, I guess.
…you can?
Yes. At least, I think I can. Different scenario, similar feelings.
..yeah. What do you think about it..
About what specifically?
Memory loss, I guess.
I think it's... unfortunate. That PasFrown can't remember anything. It had few people it was close too, and now it can't even recall who any of them were after being damn knows where for months. What happened was hard on you.
Yeah. I lost my memory once, I just… can’t imagine how difficult it must of been, even for the short time it happened.
Mm, yeah. I hope those you knew were at least understanding of what happened.
Yeah. They were wonderful. Now they’re gone, though. Sorta.
What do you—wait no, nevermind, I remember now.
...
Do you want to go back to the others, or do you want to keep talking here?
Might need a few moments, but I think I’m okay.
Okay. Let me know when you're ready.
…think I am.
Mhm. Let's go.
*it starts walking back to the living room*
Oh! PA. Is everything alright- oh. Hi passive.
PasFrown has amnesia, apparently. Though it actually explains a lot.
*it looked down at PasFrown and hesitantly waved hello*
They told me about it. I’m not sure what to do but like. I don’t know.
There likely isn't anything to do, if an engineer for Passive Frown Inc. couldn't fix and/or find their memory card.
…unless the card was fully replaced, wiping isn’t permanent. There’s often still data left behind and it can be recovered eventually.
Oh. Yeah, that's a possibility. But we can't know if the card was replaced or not. PM tends to avoid topics relating to stressful or traumatic events.
….hey PasFrown. Would you be fine with impromptu surgery?
What??
I mean. I guess it's fine?
Okay! I have the data on repairs and stuff downloaded so it shouldn’t be too hard.
Yeah, it'll be pretty simple. Juni, can you get us a screwdriver?
On it.
*while Juniper is getting the screwdriver, PA pulls a hair tie from its cloak and ties his hair up in a tight bun*
Alright, let's do this.
Should I turn you off while doing it or would it be better if you stayed conscious so you can tell me if anything is going bad?
I'm alright with being turned off for this. An alert will probably go off if something's wrong, even if I'm not on.
Alright. Lay down?
Mhm.
*they laid down on the floor*
*It switched them off and settled on its back before beginning to unscrew the plate covering the innards of its head*
*PA watched quietly until all of the screws were out, then gently picked up the plate so they could both see the inside of their head*
*It began carefully poking around, shifting wires out of the way until a small chip was visible. With steady fingers, they popped it out*
I don’t actually know what to do now
... Wait yeah we don't have the technology to scan the chip
Does it like. Look new?
Or we could pop it into my head and see. I don’t know?
*It took the chip from Passive's hand and examined it closely*
It's kind of impossible to tell how long a bot has had a memory chip, unfortunately.
And putting another bot's memories in one that isn't even from the same company is a recipe for disaster.
Darn it. Okay uhh. Maybe we could call a rep or something?
We could go to a repair shop with the chip. They'll have a scanner there. If we're lucky, it won't even be something we have to talk to any workers about.
Should we let PM know that PasFrown won’t be back for a bit incase it takes a while?
If she asks about it, then I say yes. But it's up to you otherwise.
Alright. Might just be quicker to go there.
To. PM's house?
No, sorry. The shop.
Oh. Yeah, it's quicker to just go there.
Alright. I can carry PasFrown.
Ok. Let's go, then. June, want to come with?
Sure! Don’t see why not.
Alright! You both ready?
Yeah.
*they picked PasFrown up carefully, cradling their body close*
Good, let's go.
*He opens the door and holds it for the others*
Thank you.
*They exited the apartment*
No problem.
*It closed and locked the door after Juniper was out, then followed after them*
(wow wow wowee they r now at the shop in what probably was a reasonable amount of time)
…Can you talk? Not sure what to say right now.
(yay they're at the shop now and they can scan the chip hooray)
*PA examined the repair shop in silence for a couple seconds until Passive spoke*
Oh. Yes. Uh. Good news, I know this shop and they have a scanner we can use without employee help. Bad news, I know this shop and the worker here is really talkative.
I can keep them busy if you want. That sounds threatening but just- you know what I mean
Sounds good. Ok, let's do this.
*It puts its hood up and opens the shop door. The employee looks in his direction and waves hello*
*With an odd skip in xir step, Juniper went right to the desk*
Hello!! My friends over there are scanning one of their memory chips to find some personal details, hope that’s not a problem.
*PA watched Juniper for just a moment before making his way to the chip scanner. Meanwhile, the employee smiled brightly at Juniper*
"Yes, that's perfectly fine!"
*While they conversed, Passive awkwardly handed the chip off the PA.*
*PA took the chip and put it into the scanner*
[Scanning... 1% complete]
Oh, for... *it grumbled under its breath*
…joy.
Let's just hope it doesn't take long.
*it did in fact, take a while. But finally, the data was uploaded on the screen.*
*by now, the worker had noticed the two and obviously wanted to talk to them. their look made PA tense up, but he tried to ignore them best he could*
*once the data was pulled up, it let out a sigh of relief and skimmed the data for what they needed to know*
... And of course, it's a new chip.
I wish I could swear.
That's fair.
*PA put his head in his hands*
Damnit...
What now.
I mean. It's memories have to be somewhere. There's no way the chip is just... gone.
But for now, they'll still be the same as before.
Do you think that it remembers anything about whoever repaired them?
It's possible. I'm not sure how likely, though. We could try to ask them about it once they're back on.
*Juniper rejoined them*
Didn’t work? Alright uhh. Maybe the turning off and on again will work.
Maybe. We should go back to the apartment and turn them back on.
Yeah!
…Passive lemme know if you want me of PA to carry Frownie over there at any time, don’t strain yourself.
Yeah, one of us can always carry it.
…could you?
'Course.
*He grabs PasFrown with ease*
Thank you. I really shouldn’t have left my cane, why’d I do that…
No problem.
*PA retrieved the memory chip from the scanner*
Should we put it back just for safekeeping?
Well. Frownie kinda needs the chip, so we should put it back in them once we're home.
No I mean uh. Back in their head? But it can wait sorry.
No, it's ok. We can put it back now if you want.
I’d prefer that..
Mhm.
*it handed the chip to Passive*
I'll hold them still, you can put the chip in. Does that sound good?
Yeah.
*PA adjusts PasFrown in its arms a little so Passive can put the chip back in*
Okay, go for it.
*they carefully reinserted the chip before ensuring that the wires covered it once again*
Alright, thank you.
Happy to help. Want to go back to the apartment now?
*it nodded*
*they all went back ig yay:)*
*yay they're back home!! :]*
*Once they made it back into the house, PA set PasFrown down on the couch and started screwing its headplate back on*
*Once it was, they turned PasFrown back on.*
Hey.
*It looked up at Passive with its working eye*
Oh, hi!
…everything working?
I think so. Nothing feels wrong, at least.
Good.
…can I hug you.
Of course!
*it sits up and pulls Passive into a hug*
*It collapsed into the embrace, going limp on contact.*
thanks..
[PT: thanks.. /end PT.]
Just happy that you're happy.
*They adjusted their hold to better support Passive's weight, then rested their head on its shoulder.*
Want me to like.., leave you two alone?
Hm? Oh, if you want you can. I don't mind either way :]
…yeah they look like they’re going to do… whatever the robot equivalent of falling asleep is. Wanna go into my room, PA?
Yeah, sure.
Alright.
*They left*
*It watched as Juniper and PA left, before turning its attention back to Passive*
*they were purring quietly, tucked into their side.*
*They smiled at the sight, and moved one hand to pat Passive's head.*
*The purring intensified*
*They started to purr as well, tail flicking happily*
…D’you mind if I go into Sleep Mode?
Not at all, go ahead :]
Thanks.
*A quiet whirring started up and the lights on their face switched off*
No problem.
*They started to lightly fidget with Passive's antennae*
*Their knee was at an awkward angle*
*It noticed the awkward position of their knee, but since they didn't seem uncomfortable, it didn't try to move it*
*PA caught up with Passive and crossed his arms*
You can't drink water, you'll get fried. What's going on with you and PasFrown.

"Yes, that's perfectly fine!"
*While they conversed, Passive awkwardly handed the chip off the PA.*
*PA took the chip and put it into the scanner*
[Scanning... 1% complete]
Oh, for... *it grumbled under its breath*
…joy.
Let's just hope it doesn't take long.
*it did in fact, take a while. But finally, the data was uploaded on the screen.*
*by now, the worker had noticed the two and obviously wanted to talk to them. their look made PA tense up, but he tried to ignore them best he could*
*once the data was pulled up, it let out a sigh of relief and skimmed the data for what they needed to know*
... And of course, it's a new chip.
I wish I could swear.
That's fair.
*PA put his head in his hands*
Damnit...
What now.
I mean. It's memories have to be somewhere. There's no way the chip is just... gone.
But for now, they'll still be the same as before.
Do you think that it remembers anything about whoever repaired them?
It's possible. I'm not sure how likely, though. We could try to ask them about it once they're back on.
*Juniper rejoined them*
Didn’t work? Alright uhh. Maybe the turning off and on again will work.
Maybe. We should go back to the apartment and turn them back on.
Yeah!
…Passive lemme know if you want me of PA to carry Frownie over there at any time, don’t strain yourself.
Yeah, one of us can always carry it.
…could you?
'Course.
*He grabs PasFrown with ease*
Thank you. I really shouldn’t have left my cane, why’d I do that…
No problem.
*PA retrieved the memory chip from the scanner*
Should we put it back just for safekeeping?
Well. Frownie kinda needs the chip, so we should put it back in them once we're home.
No I mean uh. Back in their head? But it can wait sorry.
No, it's ok. We can put it back now if you want.
I’d prefer that..
Mhm.
*it handed the chip to Passive*
I'll hold them still, you can put the chip in. Does that sound good?
Yeah.
*PA adjusts PasFrown in its arms a little so Passive can put the chip back in*
Okay, go for it.
*they carefully reinserted the chip before ensuring that the wires covered it once again*
Alright, thank you.
Happy to help. Want to go back to the apartment now?
*it nodded*
*they all went back ig yay:)*
*yay they're back home!! :]*
*Once they made it back into the house, PA set PasFrown down on the couch and started screwing its headplate back on*
*Once it was, they turned PasFrown back on.*
Hey.
*It looked up at Passive with its working eye*
Oh, hi!
…everything working?
I think so. Nothing feels wrong, at least.
Good.
…can I hug you.
Of course!
*it sits up and pulls Passive into a hug*
*It collapsed into the embrace, going limp on contact.*
thanks..
[PT: thanks.. /end PT.]
Just happy that you're happy.
*They adjusted their hold to better support Passive's weight, then rested their head on its shoulder.*
Want me to like.., leave you two alone?
Hm? Oh, if you want you can. I don't mind either way :]
…yeah they look like they’re going to do… whatever the robot equivalent of falling asleep is. Wanna go into my room, PA?
Yeah, sure.
Alright.
*They left*
*It watched as Juniper and PA left, before turning its attention back to Passive*
*they were purring quietly, tucked into their side.*
*They smiled at the sight, and moved one hand to pat Passive's head.*
*The purring intensified*
*They started to purr as well, tail flicking happily*
…D’you mind if I go into Sleep Mode?
Not at all, go ahead :]
Thanks.
*A quiet whirring started up and the lights on their face switched off*
No problem.
*They started to lightly fidget with Passive's antennae*
*PA caught up with Passive and crossed his arms*
You can't drink water, you'll get fried. What's going on with you and PasFrown.
- @passiveagressive-inc
nothing it’s fine everything is fine.
I don't believe that. I can hear you whirring, you're anxious. Something happened.
…
…
I lied I’m sorry I’m so sorry. I’m Bad.
No. No you're not. It's fine. Just. Tell me what happened.
PasFrown doesn’t remember anything. I didn’t tell you this is my fault.
Amnesia, huh...
Anyway. It isn't your fault. I can imagine learning that would be... hard. For you.
No I mean, everything. What if I’m the reason they left? Maybe they don’t remember anything because of me.
This sounds so awful I’m awful but I hate how it remembers more about PM than me. I’m jealous that’s bad I’m horrible.
You're not—ok. Listen. Just about everyone gets jealous, some point in their existence. You're not bad for feeling emotions.
…I wish I didn’t. PM is nice she doesn’t deserve it.
It's fair that you feel like that. I can... relate, I guess.
…you can?
Yes. At least, I think I can. Different scenario, similar feelings.
..yeah. What do you think about it..
About what specifically?
Memory loss, I guess.
I think it's... unfortunate. That PasFrown can't remember anything. It had few people it was close too, and now it can't even recall who any of them were after being damn knows where for months. What happened was hard on you.
Yeah. I lost my memory once, I just… can’t imagine how difficult it must of been, even for the short time it happened.
Mm, yeah. I hope those you knew were at least understanding of what happened.
Yeah. They were wonderful. Now they’re gone, though. Sorta.
What do you—wait no, nevermind, I remember now.
...
Do you want to go back to the others, or do you want to keep talking here?
Might need a few moments, but I think I’m okay.
Okay. Let me know when you're ready.
…think I am.
Mhm. Let's go.
*it starts walking back to the living room*
Oh! PA. Is everything alright- oh. Hi passive.
PasFrown has amnesia, apparently. Though it actually explains a lot.
*it looked down at PasFrown and hesitantly waved hello*
They told me about it. I’m not sure what to do but like. I don’t know.
There likely isn't anything to do, if an engineer for Passive Frown Inc. couldn't fix and/or find their memory card.
…unless the card was fully replaced, wiping isn’t permanent. There’s often still data left behind and it can be recovered eventually.
Oh. Yeah, that's a possibility. But we can't know if the card was replaced or not. PM tends to avoid topics relating to stressful or traumatic events.
….hey PasFrown. Would you be fine with impromptu surgery?
What??
I mean. I guess it's fine?
Okay! I have the data on repairs and stuff downloaded so it shouldn’t be too hard.
Yeah, it'll be pretty simple. Juni, can you get us a screwdriver?
On it.
*while Juniper is getting the screwdriver, PA pulls a hair tie from its cloak and ties his hair up in a tight bun*
Alright, let's do this.
Should I turn you off while doing it or would it be better if you stayed conscious so you can tell me if anything is going bad?
I'm alright with being turned off for this. An alert will probably go off if something's wrong, even if I'm not on.
Alright. Lay down?
Mhm.
*they laid down on the floor*
*It switched them off and settled on its back before beginning to unscrew the plate covering the innards of its head*
*PA watched quietly until all of the screws were out, then gently picked up the plate so they could both see the inside of their head*
*It began carefully poking around, shifting wires out of the way until a small chip was visible. With steady fingers, they popped it out*
I don’t actually know what to do now
... Wait yeah we don't have the technology to scan the chip
Does it like. Look new?
Or we could pop it into my head and see. I don’t know?
*It took the chip from Passive's hand and examined it closely*
It's kind of impossible to tell how long a bot has had a memory chip, unfortunately.
And putting another bot's memories in one that isn't even from the same company is a recipe for disaster.
Darn it. Okay uhh. Maybe we could call a rep or something?
We could go to a repair shop with the chip. They'll have a scanner there. If we're lucky, it won't even be something we have to talk to any workers about.
Should we let PM know that PasFrown won’t be back for a bit incase it takes a while?
If she asks about it, then I say yes. But it's up to you otherwise.
Alright. Might just be quicker to go there.
To. PM's house?
No, sorry. The shop.
Oh. Yeah, it's quicker to just go there.
Alright. I can carry PasFrown.
Ok. Let's go, then. June, want to come with?
Sure! Don’t see why not.
Alright! You both ready?
Yeah.
*they picked PasFrown up carefully, cradling their body close*
Good, let's go.
*He opens the door and holds it for the others*
Thank you.
*They exited the apartment*
No problem.
*It closed and locked the door after Juniper was out, then followed after them*
(wow wow wowee they r now at the shop in what probably was a reasonable amount of time)
…Can you talk? Not sure what to say right now.
(yay they're at the shop now and they can scan the chip hooray)
*PA examined the repair shop in silence for a couple seconds until Passive spoke*
Oh. Yes. Uh. Good news, I know this shop and they have a scanner we can use without employee help. Bad news, I know this shop and the worker here is really talkative.
I can keep them busy if you want. That sounds threatening but just- you know what I mean
Sounds good. Ok, let's do this.
*It puts its hood up and opens the shop door. The employee looks in his direction and waves hello*
*With an odd skip in xir step, Juniper went right to the desk*

Oh. Yes. Uh. Good news, I know this shop and they have a scanner we can use without employee help. Bad news, I know this shop and the worker here is really talkative.
I can keep them busy if you want. That sounds threatening but just- you know what I mean
Sounds good. Ok, let's do this.
*It puts its hood up and opens the shop door. The employee looks in his direction and waves hello*
*With an odd skip in xir step, Juniper went right to the desk*
Hello!! My friends over there are scanning one of their memory chips to find some personal details, hope that’s not a problem.
*PA watched Juniper for just a moment before making his way to the chip scanner. Meanwhile, the employee smiled brightly at Juniper*
"Yes, that's perfectly fine!"
*While they conversed, Passive awkwardly handed the chip off the PA.*
*PA took the chip and put it into the scanner*
[Scanning... 1% complete]
Oh, for... *it grumbled under its breath*
…joy.
Let's just hope it doesn't take long.
*it did in fact, take a while. But finally, the data was uploaded on the screen.*
*by now, the worker had noticed the two and obviously wanted to talk to them. their look made PA tense up, but he tried to ignore them best he could*
*once the data was pulled up, it let out a sigh of relief and skimmed the data for what they needed to know*
... And of course, it's a new chip.
I wish I could swear.
That's fair.
*PA put his head in his hands*
Damnit...
What now.
I mean. It's memories have to be somewhere. There's no way the chip is just... gone.
But for now, they'll still be the same as before.
Do you think that it remembers anything about whoever repaired them?
It's possible. I'm not sure how likely, though. We could try to ask them about it once they're back on.
*Juniper rejoined them*
Didn’t work? Alright uhh. Maybe the turning off and on again will work.
Maybe. We should go back to the apartment and turn them back on.
Yeah!
…Passive lemme know if you want me of PA to carry Frownie over there at any time, don’t strain yourself.
Yeah, one of us can always carry it.
…could you?
'Course.
*He grabs PasFrown with ease*
Thank you. I really shouldn’t have left my cane, why’d I do that…
No problem.
*PA retrieved the memory chip from the scanner*
Should we put it back just for safekeeping?
Well. Frownie kinda needs the chip, so we should put it back in them once we're home.
No I mean uh. Back in their head? But it can wait sorry.
No, it's ok. We can put it back now if you want.
I’d prefer that..
Mhm.
*it handed the chip to Passive*
I'll hold them still, you can put the chip in. Does that sound good?
Yeah.
*PA adjusts PasFrown in its arms a little so Passive can put the chip back in*
Okay, go for it.
*they carefully reinserted the chip before ensuring that the wires covered it once again*
Alright, thank you.
Happy to help. Want to go back to the apartment now?
*it nodded*
*they all went back ig yay:)*
*yay they're back home!! :]*
*Once they made it back into the house, PA set PasFrown down on the couch and started screwing its headplate back on*
*Once it was, they turned PasFrown back on.*
Hey.
*It looked up at Passive with its working eye*
Oh, hi!
…everything working?
I think so. Nothing feels wrong, at least.
Good.
…can I hug you.
Of course!
*it sits up and pulls Passive into a hug*
*It collapsed into the embrace, going limp on contact.*
thanks..
[PT: thanks.. /end PT.]
Just happy that you're happy.
*They adjusted their hold to better support Passive's weight, then rested their head on its shoulder.*
Want me to like.., leave you two alone?
Hm? Oh, if you want you can. I don't mind either way :]
…yeah they look like they’re going to do… whatever the robot equivalent of falling asleep is. Wanna go into my room, PA?
Yeah, sure.
Alright.
*They left*
*It watched as Juniper and PA left, before turning its attention back to Passive*
*they were purring quietly, tucked into their side.*
*They smiled at the sight, and moved one hand to pat Passive's head.*
