Zoe hated El Dorado.

Fake Gods, making her a real body, taking it back. Not to mention leaving her stranded there without anyone from home. Not even a frakking holoband to enter V-World and get out of the robot

Faith had opted to wander around the place. She wasn't even sure if she'd find Gibbs, but it felt sort of stupid to think she'd scared off a guy she'd never met. Add in that she'd spent most of her nights either out -- or crashing on the couch at Angel's place -- she found it hard to believe that this was her fault.

Of course, she didn't think that she'd be stared at by a robot either. At least, that's what it felt like to her.

[firstcenturion]

It was pretty much being stared at by a robot.

But, hell, when she walked by in that, what else did she expect? Well, besides the fact no one else was staring.

Truthfully, Zoe was lucky Faith was wearing underwear that day. Still, they were modest at that. Nothing that would ride up or end up with her trying to shift them away from where they didn't belong. Of course, color coordination and this Slayer weren't going to be friends anytime soon.

Still... it was a robot staring at her. She'd heard that one girl talk about it. Something about it doing favors, but this was more like doing itself a favor.

"I'm gonna feel ridiculous for asking, but is there a problem?"

[firstcenturion]

Oh, frak. What was she supposed to say? 'Hi, you're walking around in your frakking underwear, don't you know?'

"Hey, baby." the robotic voice of the U-87 said. "Care to take a cruise?"

...What. That was not what she meant to say!

[msattentionspan]

That... was not only so far from what she was expecting to hear, but it was also slightly -- creepy.

"Excuse me?" Because, any other response didn't seem to be viable at the moment.

[firstcenturion]

"I'm sorry." the robotic voice then change to a more feminine one. Frak, frak, frak! "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Faith wanted to walk away, but curiosity was a bitch sometimes and she just couldn't help but laugh at the fact that a robot had hit on her. Man, she was going to really give some grief to Grayson about this one.

"Yeah... any reason you did? You got a glitch in your programming or something?"

[firstcenturion]

Zoe wanted to throttle something. Argh, God, this was embarassing.

"No. Only when I tried to say that you're ... lookin' fine." suddenly, the U-87 stood straight up and somehow looked frustrated despite not being able to move it's face.

[msattentionspan]

There was something going on with this robot.

"...right."

Her feet moved herself closer to the robot, tilting her head as she examined it, "You're... not the usual robot. I mean, I'm not an expert, but this doesn't seem right."

[firstcenturion]

"I'm not. I don't mean to say things like that." Zoe tried to express. This had quickly become frustration.

[msattentionspan]

Her head shook, "No, I mean, robots don't generally apologize or say things like that. 'Least not that I remember."

[firstcenturion]

"I'm a different kind of robot. Obviously."

[msattentionspan]

"Right, obviously."

Faith was getting more confused, and most of all she figured that this robot was the source of her confusion.

"I just haven't ever had this sort of conversation with a robot. I mean, as far as I've heard they didn't exactly have conversations."

Okay, she had heard rumors about a certain robot, made by a certain Sunnydale resident, that did certain things... but this was a steel and bolts robot, not a curves and blonde wig robot.

[firstcenturion]

The U-87's red eye stopped on her for a moment before looking away again. "Have you ever talked to a robot?"

[msattentionspan]

There was a bit of a shrug from Faith, but she wasn't too stressed, "Nope."

[firstcenturion]

"Learning experience then."
