Gat and Squid Girl, Part II!

[nanocerancowboy]

[( Continued from here! Or rather, here.)]

You explained what you're plannin' on doin' to get th' human nations to stop pollutin' th' environment-but th' way you consider yourself superior to humans even though you'll make friends with 'em is a whole 'nother thing.

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat blinks, then quirks an eyebrow.]

Your parents named ya after your species?

[moemoetentacles]

What? No. I came up with that name myself.

Finally catching up on my tags pre-slowatus!

[nanocerancowboy]

[That eyebrow remains quirked.]

Y'mean to say your parents never bothered namin' ya?

[moemoetentacles]

...Parents?

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat can't figure out if Squid Girl's being absentminded or not.]

You did have a father an' mother, right? Ya'll're like most organic folks in that way?

[moemoetentacles]

I don't really remember anyone like that.

[nanocerancowboy]

... Were you an orphan, then?

[moemoetentacles]

I guess so.

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat rubs the back of his neck.]

Sorry t'hear that. I reckon it's gotta be hard growin' up without parents bein' there for ya.

[He sounds a little awkward saying that.]

Kinda hard for folks like me to relate to that, since we ain't born-we're built.

[moemoetentacles]

I'm pretty sure it's like that for all squids.

...Are you a robot or something?

[nanocerancowboy]

That I am. Or at least, I was. Mayfield ain't turned me back to normal yet.

Where I'm from, my kind's called CASTs.

[moemoetentacles]

How come they don't just call you robots?

[nanocerancowboy]

Well, callin' an android a robot or machine's somethin' like callin' a human an animal; technically right, but in practice folks'll get offended by it.

[moemoetentacles]

...Oh. Okay.

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat gives a slight lopsided grin.]

I reckon that didn't make much sense to ya.
