H--Hey, she needs that couch to be inconspicuous in! Why's she dragging it out like that? Maybe going to the kitchen for a snack is a bad idea after all.

"I--u--um..." She hesitates, then, "Um...do you need help?"

[psychoanalolist]

She looks over at the other girl and nods. "I can do it by myself, but it'd be great if you could help. I'm Annuska. You?" She keeps on working the couch as she talks - she can get it, she's just very slow at it.

[catty_hat]

"Ah!--Um, Lu--Luka." Running off to the other end to help push it out, though she doesn't understand why. Oh, but where are her manners. "It's--It's nice to meet you, um, Annuska." Strange name. Very strange.

[psychoanalolist]

Aw, it's pretty cute how she stumbles over the name she can't pronounce. Luka has this nice foreign sound to it. Is it Asian or something? Yeah, that makes sense.

Anyway, she might as well explain why she's doing all this. "I'm gonna psychoanalyze people on this and you need a couch for that, so." She's stillllllll dragging the couch. Having Luka around for that is a huge help. For now it's still straight work, but in a moment or two they'll have to turn to get through the door.

She's too tiny to be of much help, but she keeps on pushing anyway. "What's psycho--saiko--um..."

[psychoanalolist]

"Psycho'nalysis!" she says helpfully. "It's when you get someone to sit down on a couch and tell you all about them, and you tell them that all their problems are 'cause of their parents or something."

They're getting close to the door, so she's starting on turning the darn couch around. Stupid door. It should be wider.

[catty_hat]

She has her back to the other end of the couch to try and get it to move further, and nearly stumbles as it's turned around. "Wh--ah--ah!"--regaining her balance--"Oh."

She thinks on this explanation. "Um...why?" The people at Crypton were really nice.

[psychoanalolist]

She looks over for a moment when she hears the other girl having trouble. "You okay?" Oh, that straightened itself out. All right then. Whew.

"Well, your parents influence you a lot, so what they do 'ffects you for like the rest of your life. Sometimes they don't even realize what they're doing." How could the folks at Crypton have known that one moe song could have such a crippling effect on the psyche of a young robot girl...

[catty_hat]

She thinks about this as she's struggling to push the couch back. Did she mean parents like the ones humans have?

"Umm, I think they knew what they were doing." It's all complicated and involves a lot of programming and things that she can't quite understand, but she's sure that if something went wrong they'd fix it immediately.

[psychoanalolist]

"Well, being a parent is so ultra complex. Sometimes they think they're being helpful when they're not. Like, they think that lollipops are a good way to stop the kid from crying, and then twenty years later they've got a nicotine addict on their hands." She says all this very sagely. Ah, they're almost out into the open air now! Luka is such a great help despite her tininess.

[catty_hat]

That only confuses her more. Contradictions like that take time to process at her age--not fast enough given that she is supposed to be fairly "advanced," but what can she do? She's trying her best. And--And that's all she can do at the moment!

"What does it mean?" she asks. "That, um, last part."
