What's all this then?

ASHLIE was standing in the rec center, quizically watching people lift weights and work out, trying to understand the obviously complex underlieing mechanics of this seemingly social activity.

"Don't imagine you've got much use for this place, do you?" Janice asked the robot girl as she walked by.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:31 pm

"I am trying to determine if it has a secondary purpose that would be beneficial."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:33 pm

"Don't imagine you're liable to get a big bum if you don't go here regularly."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:37 pm

The robot looks at Janice quizically. Well, as much as it can with a static facial expression.

"That is correct. However there appears to be a certain social aspect that could be worth evaluating."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:47 pm

"...you're here to flirt?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:49 pm

"Why would I be interested in that? It would serve no purpose."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:54 pm

"Er... because that's what half of them are here for."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:56 pm

"Oh. Understood. It appears my evaluation was faulty."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:03 am

"Just follow their eyes. That's how you know."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:06 am

"It appears biological life-forms do most of their socializing with the intent to mate."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:10 am

"That's... well... not mating... per se."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:11 am

"Explain."

"Please." it adds as an afterthought of sorts.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:23 am

"I don't... think most of them are looking to actually reproduce."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:25 am

"I was attempting to use a colloqialism for copulation."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:32 am

"I think maybe you went in the wrong direction on that one, then? As in, you actually made it more formal."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:34 am

"Understood. This is why I am analyzing varios locations for their socializing potential."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:36 am

"Well ah... I think more than a few of them have noticed that you're technically naked."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:40 am

"Irrelevant. I don't actually possess any defining characteristics in the areas biological systems seem to prefer to cover up."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:46 am

"Right. So long as you're fine with that, I suppose."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:01 am

"Why shouldn't I be. There is ultimately no reason for them to stare which they will realize after staring long enough."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:04 am

"Seems like some of them are getting a head start on that."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:25 pm

"I do not understand. I am not a biological system." it says, actually sounding confused.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 9:26 pm

"I think some of them just sort of see the shape?"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:01 pm

ASHLIE's faceplate slides up to reveal the various sensors and electronics underneath.

"Clarification: I am not a biological life-form!" it blares from it's speakers.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:06 pm

There's a titter throughout the gym, and the robot girl's audio receptors can likely pick up at least one murmured "...kinky!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:06 pm

"...really not sure that helped."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:08 pm

"I do not understand. I was perfectly clear."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:09 pm

"It's... a weird school."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:13 pm

"Even if that wasn't absurd, there is no physical compatibility." ASHLIE objects, still confused.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:16 pm

"It's not really all that rational," she agreed.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 5:47 am

ASHLIE's head jerks at an odd angle as something fails to process correctly.

"Unable to compute with present data. Please elaborate."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:04 am

"Er... I guess the best I can say is that what organics find attractive is determined by... a less than sophisticated method. With... high tolerances for divergence."

"But more to the point, boys can be really, really dumb."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:15 am

"My research has shown no marked difference between the averqge of male or female intelligence markers." it points out.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:16 am

"I mean, about..." She gestured a bit futilely to the robot's body frame. "...that."

"Some girls like the attention, some don't."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:58 pm

"How inconvenient."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:25 pm

"Going to take that as a 'don't' from you, eh?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:27 pm

"I do not mind attention but that particular kind just seems cumbersome to deal with."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:37 pm

"Probably for the best. The girls that do like it tend to abuse it."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:39 pm

"And that is..... bad!" ASHLIE says almost triumphantly about having figured that out from Janice's tone.
