Hey Agrii

Can we have the ships back?

I want to go on a space vacation.

Much old things are points.

Save Agrii home. Want to send He Rows home when we home. He Rows help us. Good He Rows.

Have pet. Is same?

[thepurpleone]

But are they Agrii-originated or made by someone else?
And why were so many data points broken?

Ah yes, the cyclical conundrum. It's not like we aren't trying.

Yes, it can be. I mean, people on Earth refer to their precious pets as their babies all the time.

[agrii]

No know. Been long. Very long. Many long tick.

Pets are not childs.

[thepurpleone]

Tick? Like the sound a clock makes?

Ohoho you have no idea how strange humans can be. They totally treat their pets like children sometimes. Some even prefer having pets to children, and they dress them up and put them in strollers or baby carriers that they wear on their chests. It's embarrassing, really.

[agrii]

Clock no make noise. Silly. Tick is Tick. Me sure time.

Is weird sound.

[thepurpleone]

On the contrary, analogue clocks on Earth do make sounds, and depending on the model, the second hand makes distinctive sound. The "tick" sound is usually paired with a "tock", from older clocks way before digital was invented.

[agrii]

Why?

[thepurpleone]

Because standard clocks aren't entirely electrical. Their inner components are a series of intricately fitted gears and traditionally were powered by a wind-up mechanism.

I'd say you should be familiar with the idea given you've got a clocktower on the map here but if you've never been, then I guess it makes sense why you're not.

[agrii]

If not lick trick cool then how turn? How make small wind mill? What if no wind blow?

Never touch ground.

[thepurpleone]

Analogue. I believe old fashioned time pieces needed to be wound up manually, and consistently in order to continue to function.

You should. At least try some other planet. Ships seem cool and all, but it's not as fun to explore things just by looking at pictures or even watching videos.

[agrii]

Not safe. Bee long home.

[thepurpleone]

Something tells me this is going to be a really interesting culture shock for you.

[agrii]

Very shock.

[thepurpleone]

Well

This conversation has been scintillating.

[agrii]

Much glad!

[thepurpleone]

What's your name anyway?

[agrii]

I Mu Ly.

[thepurpleone]

Got it.

[agrii]

Good Meet.

[thepurpleone]

Yeah. Good meet.
