Trick Latran

there are humans with fragile skin and brittle bones aren't there? they can't help how they're made and to attempt to alter entire biologies would be risky and likely excruciating. hm... we can temporarily alter biology, maybe doing that could lead to breakthroughs? if nothing else maybe it could begin some learning experiences and maybe some easier (or harder) days if we turn looey into harder, but still movable, plastic

having a substitute doc feels like having a substitute teacher, stuff feels awkward

"Aren't all us Toons technically AI..? I mean- just goin' by the most basic meanin' of the word. We're artificial life forms, and we're certainly intelligent...most of us, at least-"

... Its a fair question to ask, but AI is often in reference to computers. we're more along the lines of artificially created sentience. AI refers to simulated intelligence, not sentience.

You'd be surprised how many Gardenview guests come up to me to ask if I can do things computers can do.

Ooh ouch- yeah that'd be the group.

“Checks out. Jerks.”

Do you think bobette should be allowed to have a gun

"I should be allowed to have a gun."

Toons can...lay eggs?

A certain mechanical Toon walks down one of the many twisting halls of the Gardenview Center, still familiarizing herself with the building's layout. Unfortunately, the blueprints to the Center were not among the things that her creator had pre-loaded into her databases.. As the television-headed machine turns the corner, she bumps into Scraps! Is that...Vee? No, no, this Toon is different- taller, painted white rather than green, with a red screen and a slimmer head.

Yup, that's me... uh. Well. apparently i was trapped in a storage closet for a whole month. it really didn't feel nearly that long, and i don't know why nobody seemed to notice or go looking for me, but yeah... it really didn't feel like a month though...

"I...see."

"I theorize that I would feel the same, in your situation. My files state that you have a sibling, correct? Did even he not attempt to locate you?"

...honestly i wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even realize i was gone... probably better like that, i don't like it when he has to worry about me... i mean, im the big sister, i'm supposed to be the one worrying over him, heh!... heh...

"...Acknowledged."

"...Information logged. May I request further data?"

...look. this sorta... thing. started way earlier than the shutdown of gardenveiw. I've been dealing with it by myself for a while. it's... look, it's bad and it puts myself and others in danger, which is why i don't stick around the others that much anymore. that enough for ya, or are you gonna pry more?

"...Negative response acknowledged and logged. I apologize."

(Scraps lets out an almost inaudible sigh of relief, looking down again)

...jeez, you really sound robotic. I thought Vee was bed but this... I mean, wow. No personality in the voice or anything...

"My creator has assured me that my speech patterns will 'develop naturally' with time. I am, at the moment, content to wait."
