May 30th: A New Leaf

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:09 am

Nina sat in the library surrounded by books on criminal justice, forensics and law. She'd been there for a good eight hours now, reading at a very quick pace.

ASHLIE was wandering around the rows of books, horribly confused by the place, even if it obviously didn't look like it, what with the expressionless face and all. Coming up on Nina it stops.

"I have a query."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:10 pm

"Ooo...that's a good word. 'Query'. I love a good query," Nina says, "What's your query? Query away."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:15 pm

"What is this place?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:21 pm

"I'm hoping it's a library," Nina says, "Otherwise, I'm very confused where I got all these books."

Nina looks up looking around a bit, "Am I wrong?"

"The building plan indicates it as such. I am curious about it's purpose of inefficiently stored or accessible data."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:36 pm

"Oh, dear. Someone programmed a robot to be dumb," Nina says, "Why would someone do that? It seems so mean."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:42 pm

"It is true that I am lacking crucial information." it agrees.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:45 pm

"Basically a library is a cost effective way to contain physical media and information while maintaining free and unrestricted access to a large group of people regardless of socio-economic standing," Nina says.

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:49 pm

"A compromise at the cost of effectiveness. I understand."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:05 pm

"Anything else I can help you with?" Nina asks, "I like being helpful."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:09 pm

"Certainly. I am attempting to gather enough data to figure things out that, according to what I have been told, 'have to be experienced'."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:10 pm

"Are you coming on to me?" Nina asks suspiciously.

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:15 pm

"I do not understand that colloquialism. I am not moving right now."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:30 pm

"You aren't? That's really impressive. Most things move somewhat even when they're standing still. How do you operate without moving?"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:34 pm

"There are chemical and electrical reactions happening inside this system but I am not moving on a macroscopic scale as you seemed to imply."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:40 pm

"Well, you know what they say about implications," Nina says happily, "They make an imp of lications."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:48 pm

The robot just blinks at Nina. Or it would if it face wasn't a static mask.

"Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent." it says eventually.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:56 pm

"I'm not sure it's actually legal for antennas to marry," Nina says, "Although to be fair I've only memorized a small portion of law pertaining to marriage certificates and eligibility."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:59 pm

"Would that be useful knowledge to memorize?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:02 pm

"Depends on the context I suppose," Nina says, "If you were getting married it'd be very useful."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:05 pm

"I do not intend to, despite being more sophisticated than an antenna."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:06 pm

"Why not?"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:07 pm

"I fail to understand the underlaying concept."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:08 pm

"That's a terrible reason not to do something," Nina points out.

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:11 pm

"Then what reason do you base the things you do on?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:15 pm

"Carefully planned whims," Nina says.

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:20 pm

"That is a logical paradox."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:26 pm

"Logical paradoxes are what keep the world running," Nina says, "They even keep the sky from falling."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:28 pm

"Oh I understand. You are talking in metaphors."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:30 pm

"I am always literal," Nina says, "I don't understand metaphors very well."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:34 pm

The robot blankly stares at Nina for a while.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:35 pm

"So. Why are you a robot? If you don't mind me asking."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:38 pm

"I required something to explore this place. Attempting to understand had come to a stop with the data available to me within the network."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:00 pm

"Is this one of those Captain Kirk type of things where you have all the information in the world but....you can't...understand....love."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:04 pm

"Love is one of the concepts I do not understand, yes. I do not know who Captain Kirk is."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:06 pm

"We should go get ice cream," Nina says, "You should understand ice cream before love or libraries or anything like that."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:14 pm

"I do not possess the capability to ingest food." it says. And it almost sounds a little sad.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:20 pm

"What? Why not?"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:27 pm

"I was not aware of it's seeming importance. And I was unable to design sufficiently small chemical analyzers."
