[twoaffirmations]

This is YoRHa Unit 9S reporting in.

How is everyone doing today? I'm sure you're all still pretty tired.

[9S is at the center of the screen, an exhausted smile on his face. He never needed sleep, but the music alone had been enough to incessantly pull him out of his own thoughts, and aggravate what patience he had left. There was a sizable dent in his wall where he'd hit it, visible just over his shoulder.

But now that he could think clearly, he finally saw something that only he, as an android, could do. That realization left him with an odd spark of inspiration. Just sitting here, doing nothing around his creators had been so boring... He wasn't going to let this chance slip by.]

That's why I'd like to offer my assistance to everyone here. If you need any errands done, I'll take care of them for you. I mean...a lack of sleep does cause motor functions and cognitive abilities to deteriorate, so it's really for your own safety.

Anywayyy... [He takes in a deep breath and sighs.] Yeah!

I look forward to providing you support.

[9S raises his left hand to his chest in a salute.] Glory to Mankind!

[ ooc: if your character asks 9S to complete a task, I'll migrate to action with him either meeting your character with it completed, or to work on it. whatever works best! feel free to contact me at danderly ]

[dumbstruck]

Uh... "Glory to Mankind"?

[twoaffirmations]

[He's been down this road before. 9S is feeling exasperated, but he tries his best not to sound it.]

I'm an android, Sir. It's my duty to serve Mankind.

[dumbstruck]

Oh sweet! Another robot guy! Though isn't that glory to mankind thing kind of over the top?

[twoaffirmations]

[Not this again. 9S tries not to sound frustrated.]

I'm an android. There's a difference...

[More formally, he adds.]

I don't think it's over the top to pay respect to your creators.

[dumbstruck]

Oh, sorry my mistake!

[ He has no idea what the difference is, but he feels like maybe he shouldn't ask. ]

Well, yeah I guess not, but I don't go around saying glory to my mom and dad or anything.

[ Pause. ]

That's kind of the same thing, right?

[twoaffirmations]

Er... It's okay. [It just doesn't feel right for a human to apologize to him.]

And not exactly? Humanity as a whole created us androids, no individual person.

[dumbstruck]

Wasn't there some guy who created the first android though? There had to be, right? Like some big famous inventor or something?

[twoaffirmations]

[He just shrugs.]

Beat's me...

[dumbstruck]

Oh... that seems like it should be some kind of big deal though.

[twoaffirmations]

I guess? Even if there was, that wouldn't change mankind being our creators.

[dumbstruck]

I guess that's true.

[twoaffirmations]

Yes...

[The silence is even more awkward with video conversation.]

[dumbstruck]

[ Boy is it ever... ]

So... yeah... android. Got it. I'll remember that, and I guess uh... it's cool that you like humans so much?

[ So badly fill the void? Sure, why not. ]

[twoaffirmations]

Yeah.... It'd be pretty weird if I didn't?

[9S is also good at badly filling the void.]

[dumbstruck]

Yeah, probably. Or well... maybe not that weird? Hating or even disliking them would be kind of weird though.

[twoaffirmations]

It's pretty hard to imagine myself disliking humanity... I mean, you humans have done so much! You're unlike any other creature on Earth.

[dumbstruck]

[ He's feeling weirdly flattered here for a guy who barely passed high school, and has contributed nothing to society as a whole. ]

Well when you put it that way...
