Our avatars are in a room together

...?

-Flame reviews the images that he saved in his memory banks-

(But they are just symbols and words. It didn't stop me from entering.)

<A wall will not protect against an airplane. They were not meant for you.>

I thought you wanted to hurt my friend...

-Flame thinks it over-

(Are these wards poisonous then? Or they send shock through your body?)

... I don't want to hurt him. But he's hurting you. I can't sleep thinking about it. I need to help you.

-She seems to understand some of the sign cues-

-But doesn't seem to have the enthusiasm to respond-

-It has been a long time since she had a real conversation-

<No. Corporeal intruders do not worry me.>

Don't you get it? He's so...so alone!

...?

(So you mean to protect yourself against data and viruses?)

(But they don't affect organics like you.)

-he seems able to read that-

-before signing "WISH. I COULD. BUT HOME. PROBABLY NEVER SAW. YOURS. SO NEVER. TRADED. IF DID, WOULD PROBABLY KNOW."-

-"YOU LOOK. LIKE YOU NEED. FRIEND."-

... Y—you seriously thought I was out to hurt whoever your friend is?

He said it was one of you two...

<No. Nothing like that. There are things that intersect but do not reside on the mortal plane that are dangerous. Spirits and the like tend to be terrible roommates.>

(Spirits?)

(You do know that most of that sort is illogical, correct?)

(They have not been proven to exist.)

{It was, it was his idea in the first place, don't believe him.}

<Don't knock it until you've seen one.>

{I don't even recognize the green-haired kid!}

(You can't. Because they don't exist.)

-Flame crosses his arms-

{It was his idea and they all agreed. No more birds. I don't want to forget again.}

(tries to sense his sincerity)

Solace barred her arm across her opposite bicep

<Well, you also won't see any because I rarely tolerate that sort of bollocks anywhere near me.>

-he's looking pretty sincere-

W—why did you think I wanted to hurt him? How is putting him in a bird supposed to hurt?

-[Incomprehensible enraged thought fragments]-

-The robot snorts steam from his nose-

Hmmph!

(I'll keep eye out for things that exist. )

(Like other robots and charging stations.)

(she broke from conflict)

(cloud has control)

-Lurches towards him, going to grab him by the neck-

-This may not actually be all that effective due to having tiny child hands but he's sure gonna try-
