Arrival Part 2 [Network Video]

[lickstheevidence]

[Now that Connor's been here for a minute and met a few people, he decides to try his device again.]

My name is Connor. I'm a recent arrival. I've met some of you already, but to those of you I haven't- hello.

[Short and to the point.]

Ah'm less of a kitteh than Quintet is. But nae true that all creatures talk. Ah'm hardly quite fully a real cat.

[lickstheevidence]

Oh? Then what are you more of, if you're less of a cat?

[plate_builder]

Ah'm sort of a magical construct tha is a wee bit machine, wee bit doll, all cat.

[lickstheevidence]

That almost sounds like a golem, except for the cat part. And the machine part. I don't think I've ever met someone like you. Cyberlife made cybernetic animals, but they were completely machines.

[plate_builder]

Oh ah'm nae a Golem! Ah dunnae have any guns and ah'm surely not that tall. They dunnae have nice fur like me either.

Ah'm a far better thing than those robots.

Magic goes a good distance ta making meh what ah am.

[lickstheevidence]

I'm a robot, you know. I was more talking about the golems in Jewish folklore, though. The ones made from clay and prayers and some magic. I'm sure your fur is very nice.

Who made you? Is it okay to ask that?

[plate_builder]

Ah've nae heard of a robot that looked like a human before. Wonder why thay would make ya tha way. And ah ain't ken what 'Jewish' people are.

Reeve did. He's workin' now.

[lickstheevidence]

We were created to serve humans in a variety of capacities, so in order to do that we needed to be shaped like humans. Cyberlife made animals, too.

Jewish people follow the Jewish religion, but that probably doesn't mean anything to you either. Don't worry about it.

I don't know Reeve, but he did a good job, I'd say.

[plate_builder]

Ay, that sounds a wee bit like why mah brothers and me were created. But Reeve neva saw a reason tah limit form.

Thank ya. Most of me is just how I wanna be from tha magic though.

[lickstheevidence]

I guess the humans where I'm from like their servants to have hands.

You were able to choose for yourself? With magic? I'm not sure I understand.

[plate_builder]

Is nae exactly that. Tha magic means ah follow tha form. Cat body means cat-like.

[lickstheevidence]

Oh. Do you like being a cat?

[plate_builder]

Aye! Mah tail is the nicest here. And mah ears are very fluffy!

[lickstheevidence]

It's good to know you were crafted so well. Do you like being petted, or just admired from afar?

[plate_builder]

Ah suppose it depends on tha person. Which ah here is pretty true of all cats.

[lickstheevidence]

I don't know much about cats, but that sounds accurate to my ears.

[plate_builder]

Ah am glad it sounds right. Though ah suppose a cat might not care what people think.

[lickstheevidence]

Do you care what people think?

[plate_builder]

Ah do want ta be looked at as a real person. So yes.
