A tall man with brown hair made his way through the active streets to return to where he was staying with the parts he was sent to get. With his errand over the young adult took his time to try to enjoy himself on his walk back even if the bustle of people made it hard to relax, but he ignored them by looking through the shop windows as he passed.
A few windows down in the South District Alec’s lazy gaze looked into what he had to remind himself wasn’t a pet store, but a tech store with virtual computers. His opinion on them was undecided since he preferred to be alone, but at the same time liked animals. The only downside being that they talk, and were programmed with personalities like humans so it could end up more annoying than useful.
He was about to walk by the glass door when display stands holding the inactive Allmates fell one by one and alerted the passing man as one hit the window. The store he had just looked in turned upside down in a second as a store clerk ran and tried to trap one of the small furry contraptions in a corner before it got through his legs. Alec was going to chuckle and go on his day, but as the employee turned too fast and busted himself on the ground the brown haired man caught a ringtail shimmying under a case. A mistake as the human reached in and dragged it out by its stripped appendage. It was a raccoon.
When he looked at the small robot Alec felt a bit nostalgic having not seen the animal since leaving America. From the look of the shop it would seem that they really did have an alive raccoon trapped in there, but there was a voice yelling that seemed to come from the critter itself. It was trying to keep itself from being reset—how strange—the screaming sounded genuine even though it was coming from a robot. He furrowed his brow just before a reason popped up in his mind to walk into the shop and offer to buy pre-used Allmate.
The store owner looked pleased to get rid of it, and the raccoon itself was happy to get away from him too as it hoped up Alec’s chest and around his shoulders to hold onto his brown hair mostly out of the small old middle aged reach. He got a discount before left inwardly pleased with his purchase, and curiously probed the small android on its sense of individuality as well is its name— Glitter, it wanted a new one.
The newly donned Cooper was showing him how to switch over his contacts as the tall freckled man heeled his shoes off and went toward the balcony of the loft he was staying in to have a cigarette.
“Here,” Alec spoke inattentively while still listening to the raccoon speak as he lightly tossed the bag of parts into Noiz’s side of the loft. The other man was quiet in comparison to the houses owner which was nice. Honestly, he wasn’t quite sure what to think of the new people after the older man of the two at the residence hassled him in off the street. It wasn’t out of rudeness it was just he was already mistrusting and not that sociable. In reality Alec was quite thankful to not be sleeping on the ground for another month like he was after the orphanage dumped him out at eighteen this year.
