Ah....

Hello everyone. I'm hoping that things have been alright with you all? At least... there hasn't been anything as [pause, picking her words here.] bad as things that have happened in the past.

What I mean is um...

Hello.

... [awkward silence before it clicks off]

Oh? What sort of things have happened in the past around here?

[umadbear]

*Chuckle* Are you talking about aliens?

[empathy_half]

No, I mean... reploids are people. I am assuming you consider yourself a person...

[umadbear]

What's a reploid?

[empathy_half]

A reploid is a robot with free will, to put it very simply, Miss.

[umadbear]

Ooooo~ I see!

And where you come from I imagine things aren't so kind to Reploids? Are you equal with the humans there?

[empathy_half]

That depends on who you talk to. Some say we aren't, some say we're better.

[umadbear]

Yes, we have that problem at home as well.

My own parents abandoned me for not being entirely human.

[empathy_half]

... I'm sorry.

[umadbear]

It wasn't you're fault.

I'm Kriem, what's your name?

[empathy_half]

...

Iris.

[umadbear]

What a lovely name Iris.

I hope we can be friends, I'm all alone in this world, save for of course Chuuchuumon.

Aw, I'd never leave you unless I had a better offer...really any offer at all. Like...even a minimum wage job.

[empathy_half]

Ah...

perhaps?
