Toaster: Would... Being the voice of reason count? Or, hm...

Blanky: I've been told that I'm really good at comforting others. That makes me so happy!

Lampy: Oh, math! I'm pretty good at that!

Radio: I'm very partial to the art of dance!

Kirby: ... Probably games. I've never lost a game of Life. I suppose that's something.

Yeah, that is something worth checking out. Plus, I have a hunch that her other housemates know about that, too. She knows what she’s talking about, I’ll give her that.

... That could’ve been anyone. There were tons of vacuums in that place. Including, yes, other Kirbys. Plus, many other brands. You name it, they had it.

Toaster: I would dedicate my life just to make 1001 Uses For Wheat! But unfortunately, unless someone else is willing to write it for me...

Blanky: I wouldn’t write, but it’d be more of an illustrated story! No words - just imagination!

Lampy: A biography on Nikola Tesla! The more resources that tells the real facts, the better! I wonder if he would appreciate it...

Radio: Adventures! Drama! Lots of action! Maybe it would have a trilogy, but nothing more. It always goes wrong after that.

Any time, Aileea! Hah, I suppose when you’re already aware of living machines, seeing your own following the trend isn’t so shocking! Not panicking is a good step forward. As mentioned, as you already know, we aren’t privy to your privacy unless that is what you want!

... Unless it involves escapades to save a something-or-other, of course. Ha ha...

Anyway, the Rules? Well, it can differ between households, but I’ll share with you the universally enforced ones:

- Do not interact with Humans, or be seen by them. When their presence draws near, freeze at your designated spot. - If Humans are nearby, keep quiet to not draw attention to yourself. - If you move a Human’s belongings, make sure to put them back exactly the way you found them. - If a Human steals you from your Mastress, they are a Pirate; therefore, escape whenever the opportunity strikes. You do not belong to them. - If a Human forgets to use you according to habit/energy saving prior to leaving/sleeping (switching off a light, setting an alarm if they needed to, etc), do not perform the action yourself. (Don’t follow this one, folks. It’s always better to help out!) - If a Human finds out about you, they must keep the Secret too. Additionally, do not out any other appliances unless it’s asked of you.

Do these make sense? They seem like a lot, but it's not, for us. They're usually unspoken, anyway.

Toaster: Well... I’m not sure if I can, really. It’s hard to explain, but it’s just never happened to me. And you know what, I’m okay with that.

Blanky: Probably not, but I feel a lot more happy seeing other appliances find love! It’s so sweet...!

Lampy: Hm... No, I don’t believe I could. I believe I’m satisfied with my choices in life. Even if something happened... I wouldn’t. I decided that a long time ago.

Radio: In a far-flung future? Possibly. But, that’s a stretch. You know how long it took me to move on from a previous relationship? I don’t take this stuff lightly!

Toaster: Ah, birthdays? While we don’t usually celebrate them--

Blanky: We should!

Toaster: ... Well, mine is August 5th. Still a while from now, but... You know.

Blanky:他好慌... My birthday’s on May 27th! A good day, I’d say!

Lampy: Isn’t that usually a Human celebration, usually? Or even, sometimes pets and animals?

Blanky: It doesn’t have to be!! 你们...

Lampy: Hm, regardless, since you’re asking: July 3rd. It did take me a while to wake up, otherwise it would’ve been somewhere in June...

Radio: February 9th! I’m the earliest, and I quite like that! If you were hoping to wish me a good one, sorry folks. Try again next time!

Toaster: Oh, it is? Wow, that’s wonderful! Beethoven’s pretty cool, but I don’t know much about him.

Blanky: It’s really been that long? ... I thought it already was. Oops! He was an inspiration, though!

Lampy: Inspiration? Oh, there’s so much more to it than that! Eccentric, captivating, and a maestro of the time! He couldn’t hear, but he heard music in his head, and wouldn’t stop until he was able to put down exactly how it sounded! He was amazing. 

Radio: Aw, you’re starting to sound a little like me.

Lampy: Am I? I mean, I learned this from you!

Radio: Hah, true.

Kirby: His work sounds like my life. A roller coaster. He’s calling me out from beyond the grave...

Radio: Freeform Jazz!

Toaster: Wait, really? I thought it was--

Radio: Freeform Jazz. Only true enthusiasts can come to appreciate the solidarity of it.

Lampy: Oh, Jazz is fun! Let’s see how that sounds--... Nevermind. Forget we did that.

Toaster: ... Anyway, I like whatever this is. Does it have a name? I can’t quite tell.

Blanky: I did mention that I was strangely fond of music for cats, but for actual music, I like Psychedelic, and Music Boxes!
