[Silk is seated, presumably, in front of his computer; a large red 'T' is emblazoned on the plain black shirt he generally wears in lieu of proper augur's robes. He does not begin to speak immediately, contemplating his image on the screen, stroking at his cheek thoughtfully.]This curse, although it encourages a kind of honesty most

I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS

[proto_typing]

...Y'know, pal, T could also stand for "talks too much". Ever think of that?

[Voice] || AHAHA it's ok ♥♥

[silk_for_calde]

I'm rather accustomed to speaking in some depth; I'm sorry if I have offended you. Certainly it is a fault of mine, considering the brevity that is customary here.

He was not expecting a response that polite. >>

O...kay?

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

Is something wrong?

[proto_typing]

Eh. Most people in this city don't care if people get offended by 'em or not, that's all.

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

I see no reason not to be polite, and you're hardly incorrect. I do tend to be... verbose.

We haven't properly met, I don't think; my name is Silk.

[proto_typing]

Okay, seriously. Are you always this easygoing, or is today some kind of special occasion?

Your name is Silk? Wait, lemme guess--you've got two other brothers named Cotton and Linen, right?

[silk_for_calde]

Patience is a virtue, and I am difficult to offend. A wise man acknowledges his faults without argument.

I have no brothers, and no sisters, but Cotton and Linen would be women's names in Viron.

...Oh, man, you're really not kidding.

[proto_typing]

Well, no point in making fun of you if you're not gonna take the bait.

The name's Proto Man. And I've never heard of Viron, but it sounds weird.

[silk_for_calde]

Animals, their parts or products, for men; plants and flowers or theirs, for women. Chems are given mineral names.

It is nice to meet you, Proto Man. I'm certain you would find Viron strange, but no less strange than I would find your whorl.

[proto_typing]

Boy, oh, boy, would I love to see what you'd think of Wood Man.

Whorl? Is that what they're calling it these days?

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

I've become accustomed to the fact that most places don't follow the Vironese convention, though it caused some confusion at first. Who is Wood Man?

The word would likely be world, where you come from; we call it the whorl, though.

[proto_typing]

In other words, majority wins, you're the weirdos! And he's a 'bot, like me. He's also a moron, unlike me.

Yeah, I kinda figured.

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

Here, I'm the odd man out, yes. What is a bot? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term.

[proto_typing]

Robots. Walking, talking, thinking machines. ...Well, I dunno about "thinking", a lot of the ones I know are bolt-brains. But walking and talking, definitely!
