2nd Bite [Video]

Sam human, I have located two of the data p- books, on your list of wishes.

[He opens his palm revealing a worn copy of The Diary of Anne Frank and a newer looking copy of The Colour Purple. He has since stopped damaging his drone, so the picture is clear again.]

Also, this is to let everyone know I'm moving into the warehouse. Everything in there is mine now. Take anything and I will know.

[If he ever finishes doing inventory, which might take him years at this rate.]

I don't have to be told I'm allowed to take things. I just take them!

[Silly Elsa.]

You misunderstand me; I'm sure the warehouse is for just taking things.

But you just take the whole building...and you expect everyone to be alright with that?

I don't suppose any of us are really in any state to be making enemies, here.

I am willing to fight for my possessions. [Especially since he's pretty sure no one here is either strong enough or willing to contest him.]

Although... I will allow anyone willing to belong to me as a friend to take items from the warehouse. A good deal, no?

[ And she's willing to freeze his knee joints solid if someone goes hungry, but that is left unsaid for now. ]

'Belong' to you?

[ She's positively miffed, but in a less angry way, more of a...'you can't actually be serious' kind of way. ]

I don't suppose so, not if they're 'belonging' to you. Friend's don't 'belong' to one another. They belong with one another.


But that's besides the point.

You'll make better friends helping people take things from the warehouse rather than keeping them all for yourself.

Belong...with? [Everyone here seems to know all about this friendship thing except for him and its becoming increasingly more difficult for him to understand as more and more information keeps getting added.]

Oh, I see! Bribe them. Yes, I know of that technique. You have a good point.

[fractalize]

Exactly. With. They compliment each other, and help each other. They genuinely care about each other.

[ Yeah, she's feeling the same, only in a much different manner. Social'ing is hard work. ]

No, no. Don't bribe them. You won't even need to do that. Just...be nice to them. Maybe follow the rules. Give them what they need.

They'll be nice to you, if you're nice to them first. It's much simpler than it looks.

...And, if they're not, then they aren't meant to be your friend. Not truly.

[dirge]

Be nice. Follow the rules. ....Give them what they need. [He's not sure he knows how to do the first one. The second one seems hard, given what the rules are here so far. And that third one makes him feel incredibly uncomfortable to even think about.]

Bribing sounds like it might be easier. [He says quietly.]

But, perhaps I can try the 'being nice' thing.



....How do you do that exactly? Without so much of the 'giving' them things part. [Shudder]
