[BIRB GET.

He has his drone watching him, just happily listening to his new giant canary.]

What a pleasant surprise! I couldn't have asked for a better present. Does anyone know who sent this?

[He reaches out to stroke his happy little musical companion on the head]

I don't know how I'd be able to thank them.

Oh, how cool! Have you picked out a name for it?

Re: [video]

[scienderp]

Not at the moment, I haven't even thought to do so yet.

Sometimes it's tricky to settle on one until you've got a good feel for the personality. Looks like you at least find each other very agreeable.

Re: [video]

[scienderp]

It would be hard for me not to like it, it's a very personable creature.

[Pretty canary is very good at singing to, puffing it's metal feathers and leaning into his hand.]

Seems like. Maybe I'll have the pleasure of meeting it in person one of these days.

Re: [Video]

[scienderp]

You could possibly ride it, considering it's relative size in comparison to you.

[Sam laughs at that.]

I'd be at least a little tempted to try, but I'm not sure how safe it would be. Speaking of rides, though, since your bird seems pretty social I wonder if it would enjoy meeting my relatively new companion. Now got one robotic moose buddy, and no explanation.

[She takes hold of her drone to adjust the angle, showing said moose settled on the floor in front of her apartment's wide window.]

Say hello to Bon Ron.

Oh! It's adorable! Is it an earth animal of sorts? A... mammal, correct? That is the warm blooded furry ones, isn't it?

[Video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Yes, yes, yes, and yes! This one might not have the fur coat his organic counterparts do, but he more than makes up for it with a warm and fuzzy personality.

Such a pleasant creature. Does his name mean anything?

PARDON ME FOLKS IMPORTANT

[automobileenthusiast]

Hey, do you wanna eat this bird?

[and by this bird i mean KO's dumb pet peacock is sticking it's face in the camera and screaming HELLO NICE LADY]

Knock Out no!

[greater_than_zero]

Why would you even offer that? [so squicked]

YES

[automobileenthusiast]

What? I don't have any use for it!

NOOOOO

[greater_than_zero]

But to offer it to be...eaten? [Knock Out, that’s gross!]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[automobileenthusiast]

Humans eat other animals! It's not that weird.

Knock Out, stop arguing.

[greater_than_zero]

Actually, it’s extremely weird, that’s like us eating metal.

But that’s beside the point, that thing is still alive and hasn’t done anything to deserve to be killed, let alone eaten.

NO

[automobileenthusiast]

You've never been to an organic planet before, have you? How adorable.

[greater_than_zero]

[He gives Knock Out a bit of a flat look.] No, I haven’t.

....[soft sigh] I take it this is natural for their kind?

[Ew.]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Not particularly? If you'd asked in time for Thanksgiving I might've taken you up on it, but I haven't dealt with a whole bird but once in Home Ec.

...Any reason why you have a peacock, or did it just join you?

[automobileenthusiast]

I have no idea what a Home Ec is.

It just appeared one day, and it won't stop making noise.

[10_20_15_5_50]

It's a junior high class that covers the basics of cooking. Quartering a whole bird was something we did, but I don't really remember the how-to. I might not want to---amateur hour all over the place.

Oh. Probably wants food or attention.

[automobileenthusiast]

I've been feeding the thing, I'm assuming this thing just wants my undying attention and won't shut up until it gets it.

[One has to wonder if this is what being Breakdown feels like]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Sounds probable. Food, water, attention... And maybe having a hideaway for it could secure you some slack. If it had a little nook, it might shut up and go to sleep there.

[automobileenthusiast]

...Okay, so I've never actually taken care of an organic animal before. I hope you don't mind if I come to you for advice every five minutes.

[10_20_15_5_50]

I don't mind at all, you're more than welcome! And, uh, no offence, but I would like to know what you've fed it so far.
