[@Hylozoist] Up on the bridge the Mind read the green text, as the AI wrestled with the common problem of figuring out what to look at when speaking with a swarm of The Bees, or pretend to look at at least, there were cameras situated throughout the ship that it was actually looking through. It was pleased that the subject of the patch had not driven the AI into doing something inconvenient like go into a huff and reroute them out of spite or something. On the other hand... [color=8E2EF9][b]”I would like to be kept informed of any upgrades you both decide to perform and, on a similar note, is this personal problem something that might affect us, seeing as we effectively live inside you. I don’t think it’s a personal problem if you have the AI equivalent of irritable bowel syndrome or something. If it’s not mechanical then why Fiddlesticks?”[/b][/color] [hr] [@Archmage MC][@TwelveOf8] Simultaneously: The bees did indeed like ice cream, so as they buzzed through the halls the amount currently in the tub reduced every time they took little stops to catch their breath and warm their hands back up. They finally arrived at crew quarters 6 just in time to see Toony arrive as well, who had apparently overheard what the AI and Fiddlesticks were discussing and assumed they were flirting. The delivery of ice cream probably did not help dispel that conception. [color=F7DC6F] The Bees announced the arrival of one tub of funberry flavour ice-cream for Fiddlesticks, sent as a gift from the AI.[/color] [hr] Up in the bridge the Mind combined the personal problem statement and the apparent discussion of romance, dismissed the prospect of the two currently being romantically interested in one-another and asked, thoroughly intrigued. [color=8E2EF9][b]”you're… getting Fiddlesticks’s help with romantic matters? Have you become infatuated with one of our new crew-members?[/b][/color] Down in the romance section of the crate town library a short shipping war broke out over who the AI was in love with until a librarian came over and shushed them all. [color=8E2EF9][b]”I have to reiterate, why ask Fiddlesticks specifically?[/b][/color] Not that The Will would have been a better choice to give romantic advice, they had never really considered the prospect, it was simply not something a being like them partook in, they were fare greater in scope, durability and age compared to the people that they lived alongside. At least that was the thought process they had had so far, though they might have to question it depending on how things went for the AI in it's romantic endeavors, whatever they where.
