What is pizza?

[colony_brat]

I'm glad you ask- [There's a pause as Duo stares at the image of who's he's talking to. Hot damn... It's um... food... and ummm... the best food ever... you should ahhh... come order some... Try it yourself.

[survivethesiren]

[She looks a bit bemused, but her brow furrows slightly]

That isn't the best explanation, you know.

Though I suppose trying it would work just as well. I have never experienced a birthday, however, so I am unsure what I would need to do if I were to arrive at this...Azzip, place.

[colony_brat]

[Duo has to actually shake his head back and forth to get it working.]

Sorry, it's dough with tomato sauce and cheese and toppings. Just 'bout anything you want. I roll it into a big circle and put on the sauce and the cheese and then the rest and then I bake it until it's crispy and melty and then I cut it. It's really good.

You don't have ta do much of anything besides come by. I'm near the bakery. Can't miss the giant sign that says Azzip. I repainted it and everything so it looks really clear. And you don't have ta do anything 'bout my birthday. That's mostly a joke. I'm not even used to having one, but I picked one out and it's fun. But if your friends or something you'd bring them a present, something they'd like, or you'd celebrate and do something fun.

[Well now he seems to have shaken something loose. Apparently the ability to shut up.]

[survivethesiren]

It sounds very interesting. I've never had anything like it. Would you mind if I came?

[She listens, smiling slightly. She is confused slightly by one thing he says. She brings a slender white and up to her lips. Just underneath the skin of her hand, of her arm, circuits can be seen pulsing under the surface, beautiful lines of white light curving and curling along her limb.]

You can simply pick a birthday out? Is it something to do when you don't recall the day you were created?

[colony_brat]

[Hot women should not say the word "came" around 18 year-old boys. His brain stalls out for a moment.] 'course not. That's why I opened the place. So people could get pizza.

[Duo's eyes travel down that line. Mesmerizing... so pretty...] Erp- ah... not normally, people don't, but since I don't know when mine is, I just picked one.

[survivethesiren]

[Oh the poor boy. And Gem doesn't even know what a kiss is.

But she can tell she is making him a bit flustered, but what can she do? She can't change her appearance]

You own it yourself? That's impressive.

[He seemed young, after all.]

I do not know the day I was created either. It was a long time ago.

[colony_brat]

[She's going to kill the poor guy with her innocence. Yeah, that's what's killing his brain.]

Well, 's not like there's any money or deeds or property laws or taxes ta deal with. I wanted pizza so I opened a place ta make pizza. And I'll deliver to people too.

Couldn't have been that long ago. Not if ya look like that. Too hot.

[survivethesiren]

You deliver? I would ask for you to do that for me, but I will come to you, this time. I will venture in the sun, I suppose.

[She hates the sun. Too bright.

But when he mentions that she's hot, she smirks, quirking an eyebrow]

I have looked the same since the day I was created. Even as I age, my appearance will never change.

[colony_brat]

You sure? 'cause that really is half the point of a pizza place. You can stay at home and have the food come to you.

[Okay, that created stuff isn't just a weird translation thing. Duo's finally catching on, so he thinks. He's met some strange people into this town and that leaves him with several odd ways people are "created."] Errr... well at least you'll be hot forever then. Are you a robot? Or a umm... What would you call him... A vessel or something?

[survivethesiren]

You would deliver on your birthday?

[She shakes her head]

Program. Computer Program personified.

[colony_brat]

Sure! 'specially to hot women. 'sides, I do this 'cause it's fun. Not because I have to.

[stare.... Okay, that's a new one.] What?

[survivethesiren]

I am more than just my appearance, Duo.

But you can bring me a pizza if you so choose.

[smirks]

I am a Computer Program.

[colony_brat]

[Swallow the drool. Quick look away. Roll that tongue back into your head, boy.] Yeah, sorry. 's just you're... I've never seen a woman like you before. Hard not to flirt and compliment and stuff.

I'll bring you the special pizza I make ta introduce people. Sections with different toppings. A little of all the basics. Anything you don't like, you don't have ta eat and you can always order only what you like and nothing else. Where do you live?

A program? Like a real program? A program that's a person? And a woman? And a hot one? A program like the stuff I write to break into things and run Deathscythe and steal money from OZ accounts? ... holy shit...

[survivethesiren]

Well I still appreciate it. My name is Gem.

That sounds wonderful.

I am in Housing Five, the Eighth floor, Room Thirty Seven.

[She smiles at the way he gets excited. He is a User through and through. This pleases her more than she would like to admit]

You have Programs within your systems who look to you as their User, their Creator.

You understand what I am in a way most here do not.

Sorry. I was up to my eyeballs in tests and stress.

[colony_brat]

Nice ta meet you, Gem. I'm Duo Maxwell. I can have the pizza there in no time. Okay, some time, but it won't take long at all. Just for the record, anything ya know you don't like? Peppers, cheese, mushrooms, meat?

[Oh yeah he's excited.] Like me? Seriously? The programs I'm writing look like me? Shit...

You have no idea. What are you? Um, what kinda program? What do you do?
