I cannot help it, ma'am. I am sorry.

No. I’m fine.

Why would you feel fine?

Well, I’m sure once all the red tape is cleared up you’ll be able to get back to work. Who’s covering for you while you’re gone?

They figure that I do not need to know those kind of details. I am sure it is someone that is skilled enough, however.

It doesn’t matter.

I don’t believe you. That’s the end of it.

It matters.

If I can help you feel more at ease with androids, I would love to be of assistance.

Yeah, I heard about that. The power outage I mean. You seem pretty functioning to me, but I’m not an expert.

Thanks. I wish you luck in- getting back to optimal functionality I guess.

I have been repaired since. But there is still a process that I must go through.

Thank you very much, Nic.

Oh. Was it some kind of glitch or something?

Uh, I don’t currently. I’m looking to find something on one of the farms though.

Recently there was a power outage, and I lost power during it. My hardware was damaged in a fall when I ran out, bad enough to keep me from functioning properly. So now they are assessing me.

I wish you luck in your search.

Kinda, yeah. People might think you’re trying to get hit on.

Then I will try my best to have a more rigid walk. Thank you for the advice, Quinn.

Thanks. So you work there too then?

No, I normally work at the high school. But I had an accident recently where they deemed me unfit to teach. At least temporarily.

Where do you work?

Actually yeah, could you? That sounds a lot less creepy.

Who’s your uh, employer anyway?

I will definitely refer to him as such, then.

Harold Fitzpatrick. He is the owner of the movie theater.

Well, you could improve how you, uh, walk. Yeah, your walk is off.

How off would you say? Am I walking in too sexual of a way?

I don’t.

Why is that?

Okay then.

Do you not believe me?

quinn-gray-blog

The best don’t have to improve.

They do. There is always room for improvement.

That’s good. I thought for a second I’d made a terrible mistake moving here. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to you guys calling people your owners.

Would you prefer that I refer to him as my employer?

Thanks, Ruby, that actually helps a lot.

Your owner? Does that mean you’re an android?

I am glad I can help.

Yes, I am an android.

I am. Nic Laurie, nice to meet you. I went around Main Street a little while ago, but I guess I must have missed it.

I am Ruby Fitzpatrick.

It is close to the movie theater here. I pass it daily when I visit my owner at work.

Sorry, but would you mind telling me where the nearest laundromat is?

There is one on Main Street. Are you new?
