[A girl frowns as she steps through a door.] But I keep telling you, I have no interest in the field of robotics! I don't think it would hurt to let me-

[She pauses in the hall, pushing her glasses up with a finger.]

Mum? Da? Is this a new way to prevent me from going?

It's ingenious but, over the top if I may say so...

Robots are evil. Welcome to the Dressing Room, it gives new meaning to 'over the top'.

[techblades]

Only if programmed to be evil. ......You look like mum, why?

[normal_really]

Tell that to Will Smith. ...Who's your mother?

[techblades]

There was a flaw in society that made the robots who had the free will to make their own choices, feel pressured enough to rebel. Certain factors contributed to it. [She pauses, she knows better than to trusts strangers but this one seems to look far too much like her mother.] Allison Walker. Da refused to have his name override hers.

[normal_really]

Get attacked by a drill wielding robot and then tell me they're not evil. ...You're Allison's daughter? That's... No way, she's not old enough to have a daughter your age!

[techblades]

It could be fixed, you'd have to tap into it's central programming and redirect it. ...I'd think being in her fourties would count as old enough. How do you know mum?

[normal_really]

I don't like robots, I just don't. She's in her twenties, we must be thinking of different Allison's... Who just happen to be dating Tyki...

[techblades]

No one says you have to but they're only as 'evil' or 'good' as their creator makes them be. That's da's name.

[normal_really]

I wasn't exactly being serious when I said it. ...Are your parents Exorcists?

[techblades]

I merely hear the same argument from da all the time, that's all. Yes, but the war ended long before I was born, or my older sister.

[normal_really]

It's a valid argument! It did? That's gre- Sister? How many of you are there?

[techblades]

There's three of us, Cyril is the youngest. He's only eleven.

[normal_really]

Three?? They really named him Cyril? I see... I don't think I've seen anyone like them around before.

[techblades]

Why not three? Da's brother passed away before I was born, I don't know the full details of why Cyril is Cyril. ...Maria is hard to miss. Believe me she is. [Pushes her glasses up again.]

[normal_really]

Three is a lot for someone I'm used to being in her twenties. [Just... Not going to say anything about Cyril, that's not his place] Somehow I get the feeling your family is kind of scary....

[techblades]

I see. [She pauses and shrugs just a little.] I wouldn't refute it.
